Host to more than 220 events each year, Staples Center offers a multitude of entertainment options. Many VIP seating areas and private luxury boxes are available only through annual or multi-year leases; others can be booked on a per-event basis. Staples Center can accommodate groups and parties of various sizes.
The Staples Center has three levels of premium seating and multiple party suites, which are typically better suited to large groups, available for a single game (as opposed to full season leases) and sometimes include food and beverage in the cost. In addition to the listings publicly displayed on the SuiteHop Marketplace, we are often able to help clients secure both private and party suites through our offline network.
Private Rentals & Suite Ticket Prices
Premium full suite rentals for popular Lakers, Clippers, and Kings games/special events typically fall within the range of $5,000 to $15,000 per day depending on the size and location of the luxury box. The same suites for lower demand games and events can often be reserved at a discount. Individual suite tickets are comparably priced to seats in the Club sections or other desirable areas at Staples Center. Two parking passes are included with the rental of each suite. Suite renters may also purchase additional tickets anywhere in the arena (where available) and up to six Standing Room Only (SRO) tickets to fill out the suite. Food and beverage is not typically included in the base rental price.
Annual Suite Leases
Full-season leases are available directly from the Los Angeles Lakers, Clippers, and Kings , ranging from $300,000 to $500,000 per year. Lease terms are offered in three, five, seven and ten year commitments. Suite owners with annual leases typically receive at least ten suite tickets and are allowed to buy additional non-suite tickets, SRO suite tickets and VIP parking passes as needed. The cost of food and beverage is not included in the lease of a Staples Center suite.
Renting a Staples Center Suite Through SuiteHop
Pricing on SuiteHop is market-based, with suite owners determining the price at which they choose to list. The list price is a reflection of availability, the popularity of the event, the exact location of the suite, whether or not catering and parking passes are included, and the suite owner’s choice of selling their suite in its entirety or by the individual seat, among other factors.
Benefits of buying through SuiteHop may include...- access to suites that are not otherwise available elsewhere, including when the event is sold out,
- ability to purchase individual tickets within suites,
- market-based pricing can be below box office pricing,
- transparent, real-time online pricing and ordering, and,
- availability of full event planning services including ticket distribution, RSVP/invitation management, celebrity appearances, branded promotional/gift items, dedicated in-suite concierge service, and more!
Renting a Staples Center Suite Through The Venue
Pricing through the box office is determined by team and/or venue management. Suite pricing is not typically published online and often requires offline contact with a sales representative. Large “Party Suites” sometimes sell individual tickets as part of a shared environment, while private suites usually require purchase of the entire space.
Benefits of buying through the venue may include…- full year and multi-year suite leases only available through venue,
- venue pricing that is sometimes below marketplace pricing, and,
