Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Kimmel Arena

227 Campus Dr

Asheville, North Carolina 28804

Kimmel Arena sits on the UNC Asheville campus in Asheville, putting you close to the city’s vibrant neighborhoods, restaurants, and attractions.

• Parking: On-campus parking is available; check the venue’s official website for lot assignments and event-day guidance.
• Public Transit: Public transit options vary — check your local transit authority for routes near Asheville.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft are recommended. Designated pickup and dropoff zones are typically available near the main entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before your event. That buffer gives you time to park on campus, pass through entry, and find your seats without missing introductions or tipoff. Because the arena is indoors, weather is generally not a concern, though it’s still smart to account for seasonal traffic and campus activity.

Expect a short walk from campus parking lots to the arena. Terrain is mostly level, but give yourself a few extra minutes to navigate pedestrian pathways and campus signage. If you’re meeting friends, pick a clear landmark near the entrance so your group can reconnect quickly once you’ve parked.

If you’re buying concessions or merchandise, arriving early reduces lines and helps you get to your seats before the action starts. For concerts and special programming, check your event listing for potential early entry windows or specific showtime instructions.

Venue Navigation

Kimmel Arena’s compact layout makes it easy to move between entrances, seating areas, and concessions. Since the arena is integrated into the Sherrill Center, additional event and conference spaces are nearby, which can help with pre- or post-event activities hosted on campus.

Concession stands serve game-day favorites alongside local craft beverages, and restrooms are positioned off the main concourse areas for convenience. If you expect to make a couple of trips for snacks or souvenirs, plan quick breaks during timeouts or intermission to avoid peak lines.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Bag policies vary by event — please review your event listing and check the venue's official website for the latest guidelines before you go.
• Prohibited Items: Prohibited items vary by event — please review your event listing and venue policy updates prior to arrival.

• Service Animals: ADA-compliant service animals are welcome.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• If you plan to enjoy local craft beer or cider at concessions, bring a valid ID for age verification.
• Allow extra time for campus parking and the short walk to the arena entrance.

Pre-Event Planning

Build your night around the action at Kimmel Arena by grabbing a bite at one of the nearby Asheville favorites listed below — it’s an easy way to keep your group energized before tipoff or a concert. Since Kimmel Arena events can draw strong crowds, coordinating your meet-up on campus and deciding on a gate or entrance ahead of time will keep everyone on schedule.

If you want the smoothest experience, check the Kimmel Arena seating chart in advance and share your section and row with friends — it makes reconnecting inside much easier. For weekend games and special shows, consider arriving a bit earlier to explore the UNC Asheville campus or to browse concessions featuring local beverages before the lines build.

Accessibility

Accessibility accommodations vary by event. Please review your event details and contact the venue directly — or reach out to Ticket Purchase support — in advance to confirm available accessibility options.
