Desert Diamond Arena Parking: Event-Day Planning

The event page is the place to check which Desert Diamond Arena parking options are available for your event and their current prices. The venue does not set one fixed parking price: event parking availability and options vary.

Prepaid parking can be purchased through an individual event page up to one hour before the event. A prepaid pass guarantees on-site parking until 30 minutes after the event starts; the venue says prepaid parking may also mean faster entry and exit and a closer space.

For a broader overview of the venue, the Desert Diamond Arena visitor guide covers the arena in Glendale.

Choose from the lots shown for your specific event, rather than assuming every arena lot will be open. Event-day parking may be available in Lots G, J and L, Yellow, the Garage and VIP, but availability changes by event.

A parking pass covers one standard space measuring 12 feet by 18 feet. If you bring an oversized vehicle, you must purchase additional spaces. Overnight parking and camping are not permitted in the arena lots.

Westgate Entertainment District parking is separate from arena event parking. Westgate says its parking is first come, first served, and event-day paid-parking timeframes and rates may change.

Accessible parking is first come, first served in Lots G and J and the Garage for vehicles displaying a valid disability placard or license plate. A prepaid permit or day-of-event fee is required.

An advance reservation does not guarantee or assign an ADA-accessible or van-accessible space. Display a valid state-issued disability placard or license plate on arrival; accessible spaces remain first come, first served.

For rideshare, use “Desert Diamond Arena” as your destination and ask to be dropped off near AMC Westgate Movie Theater, a short walk from Gate 4. Passenger drop-off and pickup are also permitted throughout Westgate Entertainment District.

Arena parking lots open one hour before venue doors are scheduled to open. Check your event page for the parking options and current prices, then decide whether to buy a prepaid pass; the purchase window closes one hour before the event.

If you are paying at the lot without a prepaid arena parking pass, bring a credit or debit card; cash is not accepted. The arena is cashless. Major credit and debit cards are accepted for purchases, and points of sale are designed to accept contactless payments such as Apple Wallet and Google Wallet.

Before you go, check the official site for the latest event parking details and payment information.

Plan your departure with the event’s parking arrangement in mind: prepaid parking guarantees on-site parking only until 30 minutes after the event starts.

Desert Diamond Arena is about a 10-minute drive from Two Palms Motel. You can review the motel’s room options if you are planning a visit to Glendale.

Can I pay for arena parking with cash?

No. Guests without prepaid arena parking must pay by credit or debit card at the lot; cash is not accepted.

Can I park overnight at the arena?

No. Overnight parking and camping are not permitted in the arena lots.
