• im planning to go to the hollywood bowl soon and i want seats for 3-4 people without paying a lot but be able to see the band playing. Also i heard you can watch the performance at the hollywood hills ,do we have pay to be at the hills? is the view from the hills good and the sound is clear? i need a large amount of information but anything is good.

• Answer:

  There really isn't any place the public can go to watch Bowl concerts in the hills. At the very back of the Bowl you can usually get cheap seats. Bring binoculars, but the sound is decent and the crowd can be very interesting back there. Wear comfy shoes, the Bowl is kind of a steep hike up to the back seats (there are escalators and moving sidewalks), but because it is steep, is why the view is better than it would be at other venues with the same number of seats. The best seats are anywhere from the middle of the Bowl (Super Seats) forward, of course, those are the most expensive seats. The bench seats next to the Super Seats, in J2 and G2 are good and usually quite a bit less than the Super Seats and the Box seats. But even seats further back and to the sides are worth getting tickets for if that's what you can afford. Bench seats might seem like they wouldn't be good, but they are fine and everyone seems to stay in their space and people are typically quite friendly. There are 2 big screens on either side of the Bowl stage, and there are 2 big screens at the middle sides, one on each side. Some performers may also have their own screens, like Paul McCartney had the most amazing humongous screens on either side of the stage. Here's a seating chart. http://www.hollywoodbowl.com/tickets/seating-chart.cfm Click on the seats and you will see what the view looks like. Take the Park & Ride or Shuttle. Parking is expensive, and it's a total mess trying to get out of the lot because it's stacked parking and you have to wait for everyone in front of you to leave first. http://www.hollywoodbowl.com/visit/getting-to-the-bowl/ Read the rules of what you can and can't bring, it depends on if it's a Lease Event or one of the Bowl's Events, especially for alcohol. Lots of people go early, bring food and use the picnic facilities there, or munch during the show. You can find that info on the website. We've taken lots of video and photos with iphones and Nanos, and other people did with small digital cameras and no one said anything. If you have a nice DSLR camera, long lens, or regular video camera with you, that is likely when they will say something. Good luck!
