Colonial Life Arena

🅿️Getting there & parking

There are many parking options in the arena area throughout USC, City of Columbia and The Vista areas. Here is a link to some of the City of Columbia/Vista options in the area: https://parking.columbiasc.gov/downtown-parking-map/. Prices and accepted payment methods are determined by lot owners/operators and can change without notice. We suggest you bring cash and credit/debit card to be best prepared to pay when you arrive. The Colonial Life Arena does not own/operate parking lots/garages. Accessible parking is available. Please look for signage or ask an attendant for availability. In order to park in the spaces reserved for disabled guests, the vehicle must have a state issued handicapped window pass, sticker, or license plate. Guests may drop off a disabled patron near the Colonial Life Arena and park their car in one of the nearby lots. We recommend you arrive early, as the venue is located on campus which is in the city and traffic can often be very heavy in the area.

♿Accessibility

Accessible seating is available at various locations throughout the Colonial Life Arena. Handicap seating is available to the patron with the disability and all guests in the party, up to published ticket limits, if available. To purchase handicap accessible seating, please look for the handicapped icon at www.Tickemaster.com or visit the box office. We reserve the right to re-seat or remove any guests from the property that violate the Federal ADA laws. If you purchased seats in a designated ADA seat location in error, please advise Ticketmaster so they can try to relocate your seats. This is best to be completed before the show but it may also be handled at the box office on the day of the show when available.
