Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale: A Visitor Guide

Desert Diamond Arena is in Glendale’s Westgate Entertainment District, at 9400 West Maryland Avenue. Its location makes Westgate the practical point of reference for drop-offs and event-day plans.

Check the arena’s official event listing for the event time, ticketing marketplace, and any show-specific rules. Listings and event arrangements can vary, so confirm the details for your date before you go.

All guests entering the arena are subject to security screening and bag inspection, and screening methods may vary by entrance. Bags must measure 12 by 12 by 6 inches or smaller, whether clear or not. Diaper bags are permitted when accompanied by a child, but there is no bag check or storage for personal belongings.

The arena’s general guide prohibits outside alcohol and allows one factory-sealed, non-frozen water bottle under 17 ounces. Guests age 2 and older need a ticket; children under 2 seated on a lap generally do not, though some shows may set different rules.

From Two Palms, Desert Diamond Arena is about a 10-minute drive. For event-day transport around Glendale, drop-off and pick-up are allowed throughout the Westgate Entertainment District. The arena’s guidance also says overnight parking and camping are not permitted on arena property or in its parking lots.

Arena parking lots open one hour before event doors, and day-of-event parking is offered in select lots, including G, J, L, Yellow, Garage, and VIP. Availability varies by event, so review the event’s parking information before travelling.

You can buy prepaid parking through an individual event page up to one hour before the event. Each pass is valid for one standard 12-by-18-foot space. Without prepaid parking, payment is by credit or debit card; cash is not accepted. The Desert Diamond Arena parking guide focuses on event-day parking arrangements.

ADA-accessible and van-accessible spaces are available first-come, first-served in Lots G and J and the Garage. Vehicles need a valid disability placard or license plate, and a parking permit or event-day fee is required.

Accessible seating is available on multiple arena levels. Depending on the event’s primary ticketing marketplace, you can purchase it through Ticketmaster.com or AXS.com, or at the arena box office on event days, subject to availability.

For assistance, Guest Services booths are near Sections 115 and 226; you can also text (623) 400-2515. Request ASL interpreting services by contacting Guest Services two weeks before the event. Sensory bags are available to check out at no cost by leaving an ID at the booth near Section 115, and the sensory room is at Section 106.

You can request a complimentary wheelchair escort from Guest Services. Arena wheelchairs are not for use throughout the full event; mobility devices that are not in use must be stored at the Guest Services booths near Sections 115 or 226.

Start with the event listing, then work backwards from its door time to plan arrival and parking. Lots open one hour before event doors, but parking availability depends on the event. If you are being dropped off or picked up, the Glendale event-day getting-around guide covers transport throughout Westgate Entertainment District.

Before leaving, check your bag dimensions and ticket requirements, and confirm the event’s ticketing and parking arrangements. For prepaid parking, use the individual event page; its purchase window closes one hour before the event.
