Charter Transportation to Crypto.com Arena
From Lakers playoff runs to the Grammy Awards and 2028 Olympic gymnastics — GTS Charter moves groups through Downtown LA to Crypto.com Arena without the rideshare scramble.
Crypto.com Arena is the cornerstone of LA Live and the most-booked indoor venue in Los Angeles. Home to the Lakers, Kings, and Sparks, host of the Grammy Awards, the BET Awards, and dozens of arena concerts every year, and a confirmed gymnastics venue for the 2028 Olympics, the arena draws crowds of 18,000 to 21,000 several nights a week into one of the most congested stretches of Downtown LA.
There is no dedicated arena garage at Crypto.com Arena — patrons rely on the LA Live garages, surface lots scattered between Olympic and Pico, and the LA Convention Center decks across the street. Event-night parking runs $30 to $75 and sells out fast, while Figueroa, Chick Hearn Court, and the I-110 ramps gridlock 60 to 90 minutes before tip-off and again at the buzzer. For groups, the cost-and-frustration math almost always favors a charter bus.
GTS Charter has been running groups to Crypto.com Arena since the Staples Center days. We move corporate suite parties, season-ticket clubs, Grammys talent and guest shuttles, hotel-to-arena concert transport, and youth groups celebrating birthdays in the lower bowl. Our motorcoach drop-off on Chick Hearn Court puts your guests at Star Plaza in 60 seconds, and our familiarity with the LA Convention Center coach-staging program means we have a place to wait while your event runs.
What We Provide
Group Transportation Services at Crypto.com Arena
Lakers, Kings & Sparks Game Transportation
GTS Charter runs season-long shuttle programs for Lakers, Kings, and Sparks home games — from corporate suite holders bringing clients downtown to season-ticket booster groups coordinating across LA County. We pre-stage on Chick Hearn Court, drop at Star Plaza, and return for pickup before the post-game crush hits Figueroa.
Grammy Awards & Awards-Season Transport
The Grammy Awards return to Crypto.com Arena each February, and the surrounding awards-season weeks fill the calendar with red-carpet arrivals, after-parties, and viewing events across LA Live. GTS coordinates talent and guest transport, sponsor hospitality buses, and production crew shuttles — all with the discretion and on-time precision that the broadcast schedule demands.
Concert & Residency Hotel Shuttles
Crypto.com Arena hosts roughly a hundred concerts a year. We run hotel-to-arena shuttle programs for guests staying at the JW Marriott LA Live, the Ritz-Carlton, the InterContinental Downtown, the Westin Bonaventure, and the Hotel Indigo Downtown — with reliable post-show return service that beats every alternative on the Figueroa corridor.
2028 Olympic Gymnastics Group Transport
Crypto.com Arena will host artistic gymnastics for the 2028 Olympic Games. GTS Charter is preparing fleet capacity, driver credentialing, and hotel-to-venue routing plans for the federations, sponsors, hospitality programs, and fan groups that will travel through Downtown LA during the Games.
Corporate Suite & Premium Hospitality
Premium ticket holders use GTS for door-to-suite service from Century City, Beverly Hills, Pasadena, and the LAX corridor. We pick up at the office, drop at the Chick Hearn Court motorcoach zone, and manage the post-event return on a schedule that matches your guests — not the rideshare surge.
School & Youth Group Outings
For school nights, scout groups, and youth basketball clinics that include a Lakers, Kings, or Sparks game, GTS provides safe, licensed motorcoach transportation with vetted drivers and supervised loading. We work with school districts and youth organizations across LA County and the Inland Empire.
Local Expertise
Why GTS Knows Crypto.com Arena
Downtown LA & LA Live Logistics
Crypto.com Arena, LA Convention Center, Peacock Theater, and LA Live's restaurants and hotels share a single congested grid of streets that locks down on event nights. GTS Charter has spent two decades coordinating motorcoach drop-offs, pickups, and inter-venue transfers across this footprint, and our drivers know exactly which streets remain passable when Figueroa and Chick Hearn Court close to non-credentialed traffic.
Coach Staging at LA Convention Center
Most charter buses dropping at Crypto.com Arena cannot wait curbside during a 3-hour event. GTS uses the LA Convention Center coach-staging program (Bond Street/Cherry Street) to keep vehicles legally parked and ready for pickup — a logistical detail that less-experienced operators routinely miss, leading to rolling drop-offs and pickup delays.
I-110, I-10 & Pico Boulevard Mastery
Pre-event traffic at Crypto.com Arena backs up the I-110 Figueroa exit, the I-10 to I-110 transition, and Pico Boulevard from Hill to Olympic. Our drivers know which approach works for which event and time, and we route around accidents and street closures in real time using live traffic feeds.
Multi-Venue LA Live Coordination
On busy nights, Crypto.com Arena, the Peacock Theater, and the Microsoft Theater all run concurrent events. GTS coordinates multi-venue transportation programs, often shuttling guests between an LA Live restaurant, the arena, and a hotel within a single evening — work that demands the kind of granular venue knowledge that takes years to build.
Common Questions
Crypto.com Arena Transportation FAQs
What is Crypto.com Arena’s capacity?
Crypto.com Arena seats roughly 19,000 for basketball and hockey, and up to about 21,000 for concerts depending on stage configuration. It is home to the Lakers, Clippers, Kings and Sparks, which is why the downtown event calendar rarely has a quiet week and why group transport needs planning rather than improvisation.
Is there a shuttle service to Crypto.com Arena?
Yes. GTS Charter provides private group shuttles and charter buses to Crypto.com Arena from hotels, offices, and partner venues across Los Angeles. We coordinate timed drop-offs and post-event pickups in the venue’s approved charter zones so your group avoids the L.A. Live parking crush and the post-event rideshare surge.
Where do charter buses drop off at Crypto.com Arena?
Charter buses use designated drop-off and staging areas around the L.A. Live complex, coordinated in advance with venue operations. GTS handles that coordination on every booking, securing an approved zone for curbside drop-off before the event and organised pickup during egress.
Can you move a group between Crypto.com Arena and SoFi Stadium?
Yes — it is one of our most requested transfers. The two venues are about 11 miles apart and the corridor between them saturates on double event nights. See our SoFi Stadium to Crypto.com Arena route guide for timing and staging detail.
