Competition event tickets range from $10 – $45. Check here for the full schedule of events.
Go Metro to get a free gift. Show your TAP card at the guest services booth at L.A. Live and you’ll receive a limited edition X Games LA 2013 poster. The exclusive souvenir is part of Metro’s Destination Discounts program. Go Metro to participating locations and events and you’ll save on admission, get discounts on meals, and receive free gifts.

” it’s the future home of all X Games events…perhaps by next year, it will be.”
Well it won’t matter now if it were transit friendly, the XGames are leaving LA.

Maybe Metro can co-operate with the staff at the venue and run special shuttles to the venue from El Monte Transit and the Gold Line.
You can takeMetro Local 270 on Aug 1-3. Get off at Live Oak/Peck and walk to Irwindale Event Center or transfer to FT 492 and get off at Live Oak/Rivergrade to walk back towards the event.
You can also take Metro Local 78 to eastbound terminal(Longden/Myrtle) and walk or transfer to FT 492 to event. Metro Local 78 operates on Sunday,August 4th.
Great tips, Thomas! I do wish the Irwindale Event Center were more transit friendly as it’s the future home of all X Games events…perhaps by next year, it will be.

Which Metro busses serve the Irwindale “Event Center”?
Hi Person,
There are no Metro buses that serve the event center, but Foothill Transit 492 has a stop in the area and they also accept TAP. However, the limited edition poster can only be claimed at L.A. Live so we’re encouraging more people to attend the competitions in downtown on Metro.
