Pro Tips for Hollywood Bowl
Don’t drive into the venue (self or Uber). They have stacked parking, and you’ll be sitting for hours. Take either a park & ride bus, or park at Hollywood/Highland and walk up the hill. The closer Park & Ride buses, like the one on Ventura in Studio City is free if you show them a TAP card. Once at the Bowl, enter through a side entrance, instead of the front entrance. The side line moves much faster.
