The Ticket Policy and all related regulations and reporting documents can be found in the Ticket Program Documents section below.
CITY OF SACRAMENTO GOLDEN 1 CENTER COMMUNITY GROUP TICKET PROGRAM
For most Golden 1 Center events, the City of Sacramento has access to a suite with 20 seated tickets, 5 standing room only tickets, and 7 standing room only tickets available for purchase. When the suite is unavailable due to event staging elements, 25 tickets are provided within another section of the arena. The Ticket Policy allows distribution to qualifying community groups for the public purpose of promoting community, cultural, recreational, educational, and social services, facilities, and programs available to the public within the City of Sacramento.
