The only way to go to the Hollywood Bowl is to do the park and ride at one of the many park and rides around Hollywood and LA, which are displayed on the computer when buying tickets, which is what we did before going to California.
We bought the cheap seats in the very back. The sound is great everywhere! The music was great and fun with different artists singing and playing their specific instruments, mainly guitar. I'm 72, my daughter is 47, my sister is 76 and my cousin is 50 something and we all loved it.
There are also large visual screens so the stage can be seen from everywhere.
Bring your own wine and picnic to have during the concert or before. We were there this last July 2010.
Even though the days are wonderful and warm, the nights are quite cool. Bring jackets or sweaters and even a throw over the legs for temps in the 50's for sure.
