With downtown construction impacting traffic, Metro’s rail service to games at Staples Center could be a viable option. To help fans make their entertainment dollars go further, the Kings hockey team has extended its discount to Metro riders for most home games through April 7 at Staples Center. The Metro will save time and effort and $10 per ticket to the game.
The Kings are offering the $10-off discount on any ticket purchased by fans who show their Metro ticket or pass at the box office. Discounts will apply to all games except those on Feb. 17 and Feb. 24.
Only a five-minute walk from Staples Center and the Convention Center, the Metro rail system connects fans to the comfort and ease of the Metro blue line at Pico/Chick Hearn Station. The Metro blue line travels between downtown Los Angeles and Long Beach, with Metro Rail and bus connections throughout Los Angeles County.
