Fantastic venue!!! Great place to see a show in an intimate setting. I was there recently for the Melissa Etheridge concert which was amazing and felt like a personal invitation concert. Great access and location and beautiful architecture and landscaping. I hope more popular artists choose this venue to perform at!

A fabulous venue. The sound is amazing. This concert Michael Franti and Spearhead was absolutely the best. He gets his fans on their feet almost the whole concert. Every seat is terrific.

We went to see Billy Childs as part of the Angel City Jazz festival. It was a wonderful show. The things that he is able to do on the piano is incredible. Dianne Reeves stole the show with her amazing voice. Alexander Gideon's spoken word poetry electrified the crowd. However, whoever you used as your parking company for this show, needs to be reconsidered. They were rude, confused, and unimaginative. I was at the Ford just three weeks ago and had a pleasant experience with the parking attendants. But the show was so good, the parking attendants could not spoil the night.

Checked out the Flypoet Summer Classic Spoken Word and Music Showcase. What a fun event at a So Cal landmark that was just taken over by the LA Phil after an extensive remodel. The LA Phil also just took over the Hollywood Bowl across the 101 freeway. I've gone to this event the last 9 years so I can really see and hear the difference. The people with the LA Phil relly care about the quality of the guest experience and it shows. Now that the LA Phil is booking the space I'm looking forward to some fantastic performances by some world class artists. And just like the bowl picnicking is encouraged as part of the outdoor experience. Check out the photos of the original theater in the hallways on the way to the bathrooms it's worth the time to see old LA and what the area looked like before and during construction.

Someone said to get a picnic table while there. Is this during the concert are they close or better to be in seating? If you do pay for a picnic table what is ok to bring?

Patty Hiebert | Sep 4, 2018
Rita M. Carreon | Sep 4, 2018

No payment for tables around the venue. They're free community property. Get there early to enjoy a picnic. You can also eat at your seats while event is going on. Have Fun!

We have a 2 month old baby, we are planning on taking him to the mariachi show, will there be any issue? Do I have to buy a ticket for him?

Freddy Bravo | Sep 4, 2019
Jon Mizrahi | Sep 4, 2019

You will most likely be okay. You're probably already on top of this, but you should bring somd sort of ear protection for him. It can get pretty loud.

Nephew is attending concert tonite for Greta Van Fleet is telling us because it was general admission tckts. he needs to be there at least 6 hrs prior to gates opening ?? Is this advisable???

Irene Jimenez | Sep 4, 2018
Eric Geffner | Sep 4, 2019

It does sound early but if he wants to be in the very front row and to get there and relax and enjoy himself with some friends it's not as crazy as it sounds although it sounds like it's several hours earlier than it needs to be he's just super excited. Too bad the show was rescheduled! People said I don't think the gates will be open much earlier than that although undoubtably they'll be a line for opening up to the gate he sounds like a young kid let him go have fun!

Rosemary Aguilar | Sep 4, 2017
Sonal Patel | Sep 4, 2017

Not sure. It was $1 when we went for summer World fun, for a regular parking. I'm sure it's the same for handicapped. But not sure if the price varies based on the type of event.
