An acoustically stunning 1,800-seat theater built in 1929
Modeled after Milan’s San Ambrogio Church, constructed in the tenth and eleventh centuries, Royce Hall was named for philosopher Josiah Royce. It was built in 1929 and was one of the first campus structures. The theater in Royce Hall has played host to a veritable who’s who of performing artists, from George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, and Jimmy Dorsey’s band to Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic, Twyla Tharp, Frank Zappa, Mikhail Baryshnikov, the Philip Glass Ensemble, and many more.

Rideshare / Guest drop-off: The rideshare drop-off is located at the flagpole at 10745 Dickson Court. Note: Some rideshare companies use the 340 Royce Drive address.

Prepurchase a Bruin ePermit online: We highly recommend a Bruin ePermit for anyone parking for a Royce Hall event. Visit the Bruin ePermit Portal online and scroll down to expand UCLA Royce Hall. Select your desired event and follow the prompts to purchase parking.
Payment kiosk in parking structure 5: Buy your parking permit at the payment kiosk located in structure 5 on level 6 (top level) and level 4 (next to the pedestrian bridge). Have your license plate number and a credit card available. Be mindful that there are only two kiosks on those levels, which may increase the time it will take you to get inside the venue to the show!
Use the ParkMobile app: Install the ParkMobile app on your phone and purchase your parking on the day of the event from your smartphone. Enter zone number 2552 (this event code will be valid for parking three hours prior to the event).

For any ADA needs, including assisted listening devices, please email us at info@cap.ucla.edu. In addition to wheelchair spaces, Royce Hall is equipped with select aisle seats that have folding armrests to make transfer easier for those with mobility limitations.

Late seating: There is no late seating for performances at our venues unless specifically authorized by individual artists in advance of the performance. In that event, late seating will occur only at a suitable time, at the discretion of the house staff. Latecomers may not be seated in their assigned seats to avoid disruption or distractions during the performance. Refunds on parking and tickets for latecomers will not be accommodated. No advance notice will be provided for any deviation from the late-seating policy, so all ticket holders are advised to arrive fifteen to twenty minutes before curtain.
