Venue and Seating Information
The Hollywood Bowl is an outdoor amphitheater with a hillside layout, curved seating bowl, and iconic band shell. With approximately 17,500 seats, it offers several ways to experience a concert, from close-in premium areas to upper bench seating. The venue's open-air setting makes walking distance, weather, and comfort worth considering when choosing seats.
For a balanced view and sound, centered Super Seats are a strong middle-bowl option. Fans seeking a premium experience can look at centered Garden Boxes or Terrace Boxes, which offer comfortable seating and clear stage visibility. The far rear bench sections are more distant from the performers, while extreme side seats may provide a less direct view of a centered stage production.
Parking Information
On-site parking is limited and often stacked, which can make a quick departure difficult. Park & Ride, the Bowl Shuttle, Metro connections, or rideshare can be more convenient alternatives. Arriving early is advisable, especially for drivers using venue lots.
- Hollywood Bowl Lot A / Blue Lot: 2301 N Highland Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90068. Stacked parking is listed at $55; valet is listed at $90. Parking information.
- Ovation Hollywood Bowl Shuttle: 6801 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, CA 90028. A shuttle option near Hollywood/Highland; parking and shuttle charges vary by event. Shuttle lot information.
Because stacked parking does not allow early exit, fans who may need to leave before the crowd clears should consider a shuttle or rideshare plan. Avoid parking in nearby residential neighborhoods, where restrictions may result in tickets.
Buddy Guy Inglewood reviews
Amazing show
BG was worth every penny! We laughed, we cried and we were just amazed at this man’s talent and energy! Truly a world treasure! It’s been a while since I have been to an arena concert (much too expensive these days). The show was 10 stars the arena 2. People were fainting waiting to get through security. Obviously not built for concerts as who designs an arena that has no floor level access so you have to walk down (then back up) lengthy & steep concrete steps? The only negative was the arena itself. Crowd direction and control was appalling.
