PermalinkRideshare drop-off and pick-up at the Bowl are located in Lot C (Purple). Direct your rideshare to our location at 6655 Odin St., Los Angeles for pick-up and drop-off. View a map of the rideshare pick-up and drop-off location at the bottom of our Getting Here page.
To avoid longer pickup wait times and surge pricing, rideshare patrons are also encouraged to consider using the Bowl Shuttle system. Instead of planning your rideshare route to the Bowl itself, consider using one of the Shuttle lots (Ventura Blvd in Studio City or Ovation/Hollywood & Highland). You can purchase a shuttle ticket to complete the rest of the route to the Bowl, and then ride the shuttle back to those locations after the concert.
