Hollywood Bowl Tickets

[dontlookdown]

I stupidly waited only to be shocked that the Hollywood Bowl show sold out in a matter of days.
I'm also really shocked at the ticket prices on Stub Hub.

Has anyone had any luck getting close to face value as the show dates get closer?
I'm going to wait until the week of the show to see what I can find.

I was curious if there was a ticket exchange for fans -- kind of like what Springsteen fans have done on the
Backstreets website. It's great, and tickets are always bought/sold at face value.

Why not go to one of the other southern California shows instead? Those tickets won't be cheap, but there are so few seats for the Hollywood Bowl that there's a built in scarcity and the price is going to be outrageious. I think you will have a better chance with Staples or the Anaheim Honda center -- or even San Diego, because there are so many more tickets to go around.

True. but I hate the Staples Center and Anaheim and San Diego are too far...
I was hoping that they add a 2nd Hollywood Bowl show instead of Staples, but no such luck.

I feel like Fleetwood Mac at the Hollywood Bowl is about as great as it gets, which is probably why tickets went so fast.
I think a lot of people in LA feel like this will probably be the last tour.
I'm usually fine with springing for expensive tickets at the last minute, but these are outrageous prices. For 500 +, we should be able to design our own setlist.

It will be beautiful. I saw Stevie and Rod there and thought that Fleetwood Mac was too big to play that venue. So, it's a thrilling thought.

They played there during the Dance tour and on the Tusk tour.

I didn't live in California yet, for Tusk. For The Dance, I was able to afford to see three Irvine Meadow shows for the price of the Hollywood Bowl.

I saw one of the Irvine Meadows shows.
What stands out to me the most after all these years is the not so great sound and a lot of drunk people.
I love that the Hollywood Bowl now has great sound - as long as your relatively close.

Right, being close is important. I've had some of those higher up boxes at the Hollywood Bowl and they're great for being with friends and making a picnic out of it, but to me they aren't really ideal if you're into the artist and want to concentrate.

Wondering if this could happen.
Probably doesn't take more than a few rehearsals.
And it's the biggest show of the tour so far...

[Josh2003]

Doubtful. They've never done it before, and I don't see them starting now.

I'm wondering if last minute tickets were going to be released for the Hollywood Bowl show -- would they already have been released?

Not much showing up on Stub Hub....
