Hollywood Bowl Seating Chart
With an impressive 17,500 seating capacity and stunning natural surroundings – it’s one of the most unique places to catch live entertainment, no matter what time of day or night!
The rounded bowl design of this Amphitheater, is not just incredible for the views and acoustics but also means that you will be spoilt for choice when choosing your seating. Whether you like to be up close and personal or further away so that you can hang out with your friends. The choice is endless!
The seating at the Hollywood Bowl is split into several sections with five promenades and lettered sections that run from A to X. The Promenade seats are higher, and guests can get an expansive look at the stage, but also at the surrounding nature. They are perfect for those looking to get a panoramic view during their time at the Hollywood Bowl.
The Pool Circle is right in front of the stage, and Garden Boxes are behind that. The Pool Circle is for those who want to experience the performance up close and personal. The premium nature of the seats is reflected in the prices.
The Garden Boxes section also has side boxes that have ramps for wheelchair accessibility, as mentioned. The box seats are semi-private, small enclosures that seat around 4 to 6 guests. They offer excellent views with a bit of additional intimacy and comfort.
Behind the Garden Boxes are the Terrace Boxes, and behind that, there is a small section of Super Seats, which offer some fantastic views at a more expensive price.
Most of the seating in the Hollywood Bowl are bench seats, which can be found from the top of the venue to the mid-section. These are wooden benches, and guests are permitted to bring one cushion with them if they want a bit of extra comfort. Check out the Hollywood Bowl seating chart for more information.
If you are late to a performance, you won’t be able to reach your seat until an appropriate opportunity arises (and at the discretion of management). However, if you are late to a concert that does not have an intermission, you might not be able to take your seat at all.
Accessibility
There are various options when it comes to accessibility at the Hollywood Bowl, so let’s take a closer look.
Ticket options
If you’re buying a ticket for an accessible seat, you can buy up to three additional seats so that the individual requiring the accessible seat can sit alongside their companions. In some cases, these seats might already be sold. If this is the case, the venue will do its best to provide seats as close as possible to the accessible seating area.
Assistive Listening Devices
Guests can obtain assistive listening headsets free of charge, though a deposit and ID are required. These can be obtained from the House Manager’s Office.
Wheelchair Escorts
PAAS also provides wheelchair escorts to guests who need them. Assistance with wheelchairs can be arranged with a PAAS staff member in the Box Office plaza. This service works on a first come first serve basis, and the venue does not rent wheelchairs or supply loaners.
Wheelchairs can be stored at the east entrances of Promenades 2 and 3 and the west entrance of Promenade 1. This is for those who wish to transfer from their chair to a seat during a performance.
While the PAAS team can’t aid with transferring guests in and out of any mobility devices, they can return their wheelchairs at the end of the performance or at a specifically arranged time.
For any questions, queries, concerns, or to book in for accessible services, contact the Accessibility Services department at the Hollywood Bowl.
They can be contacted on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 11 am to 5 pm via phone on 323 850 2125. You can email them on [email protected], but this method can take up to 72 hours for a response.
