Watch the spectacle unfold before you with Galen Center tickets from TicketSmarter. Sporting events, concerts, and other performances are showcased throughout the year at arenas across North America including iconic venues like the Barclays Center in Brooklyn or The T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The term arena is typically used to describe a large, multipurpose indoor venue that hosts a variety of events ranging from concerts to shows and even hockey, basketball, and indoor football games. One particular genre of rock, arena rock, took its name from the loud, flashy concerts that bands like Poison, Def Leppard and Aerosmith played in the 1970s and 1980s. One of the earliest examples of arenas comes from the Latin term “harena” which described the sand-covered floors of venues like the Colosseum in Rome, which hosted chariot races and other spectator events. 

One popular arena in the United States is Madison Square Garden which hosts nearly 320 events every year. Some of the most famous events being held at The Garden include performances by singers like Elton John, Lady Gaga, and the Foo Fighters, among others. Other arenas like Galen Center will feature spectacular energy from the attendees, making for unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime.

Galen Center Event Tickets

Since 2006, Galen Center tickets have admitted sports fans and celebrity-seekers to exciting downtown Los Angeles events. The Galen Center is located on the University of Southern California campus, at 3400 S. Figueroa St., Los Angeles, CA 90089. The center is comprised of the main arena and a modern practice facility in the athletic pavilion. The Galen Center hosts various sports teams as the university is part of the Pac-12 Conference. The school was without its own sports arena for more than 100 years, until donations by long-time Trojans fans, Louis and Helene Galen, helped this USC venue come to fruition.

Loud Galen Center crowds cheer on the Trojans during men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball games, especially when playing cross-town rival, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Bruins. The Trojan Dance Force entertains the arena during the basketball season.  

Besides USC sports, the Galen Center also hosts local high school and youth sporting events, PowerShares Series circuit-play tennis matches and speakers like Tony Robbins. Once a year, kids gawk and scream with their favorite celebrity at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards.
