Why charter a bus to Hollywood Bowl?

Plan a private charter bus or bus parking pass for the Hollywood Bowl. Lot B bus passes are $90 plus a $2.50 fee, bought in advance through the Box Office. See how the Bowl's own Park and Ride and Bowl Shuttle differ from a private charter.

The Hollywood Bowl is LA's iconic outdoor amphitheater, seating nearly 18,000 in the Hollywood Hills. It's home to the Los Angeles Philharmonic's summer season, which typically runs from June through September, and also hosts pop, rock, and jazz concerts. The venue has been an LA cultural landmark since 1922, and a night at the Bowl, picnic basket and hillside sunset included, is a quintessential LA experience.

Parking at the Hollywood Bowl is genuinely difficult: the venue sits in a narrow canyon off Highland Avenue, lots are extremely limited, and they sell out ahead of popular shows. Most individual concertgoers use the Bowl's own Park & Ride or Bowl Shuttle public bus services rather than driving. For a private group, the alternative is a bus parking pass for Lot B, bought in advance through the Box Office, which lets your charter bus bring the whole group on one schedule instead of everyone finding their own way to a public shuttle stop.

Charter buses to the Hollywood Bowl work well for corporate summer outings, birthday celebrations, alumni groups, and other private concert transportation groups who want to travel together rather than coordinate individual shuttle tickets. If your group has plans beyond the Bowl, see our guide to charter bus transportation across Los Angeles for other venues and occasions.

For a private group, buy a bus parking pass for Lot B in advance through the Hollywood Bowl Box Office; passes are $90 for a bus or a sprinter/limo, plus a $2.50 service fee. Lots are stack parked with no early exit, and parking is extremely limited and can sell out ahead of a show.

Hollywood Bowl Charter Bus FAQ

Most people searching 'Hollywood Bowl shuttle' are looking for the venue's own public bus services, not a private charter. The Hollywood Bowl runs a Park & Ride service with timed departures from multiple locations across LA County, and a Bowl Shuttle from a few central pickup points. Both are ticketed, run by the Bowl, and open to individual concertgoers. If your group has already bought a bus parking pass and is bringing its own vehicle, that is a separate, private arrangement. See below for when a private group charter makes more sense than the public shuttle.
Park & Ride fares are $10 in advance or $15 day-of for LA Phil events, and $12.45 in advance or $15 day-of for lease events (concerts not presented by the LA Phil); advance sales close at 10am the day before the concert. The Bowl Shuttle costs $9 round trip for LA Phil events and $12.45 for lease events, departing every 15 to 20 minutes starting two and a half hours before the concert, with the last bus leaving at concert time. Both work well for smaller groups or individuals who do not need their own vehicle.
A private charter bus makes sense once your group is large enough that public shuttle tickets and coordinating everyone's pickup time becomes its own headache, such as a corporate outing, wedding party, or milestone birthday group. With a private charter, you buy a Lot B bus parking pass in advance through the Hollywood Bowl Box Office ($90 for a bus, plus a $2.50 service fee), and your driver brings the group directly to the venue on your own schedule instead of everyone meeting at a public Park & Ride stop.
A bus parking pass for Lot B costs $90, and the same $90 rate applies to oversized vehicles like limos and sprinters, plus a $2.50 service fee. Passes must be purchased in advance through the Hollywood Bowl Box Office; the Bowl's own site notes that parking is extremely limited and may sell out ahead of a show, so book as early as you can. Lots are stack parked with no early exit, so your driver should plan to stay for the full show.
Large groups of 30 or more can reserve select picnic areas through the Group Services Office by calling 323 850 2050. If part of your group is arriving separately by rideshare, direct the driver to 6655 Odin St for pickup and drop-off, the Bowl's designated rideshare location. Street closures on Milner and Camrose typically begin about two hours before the show and end about an hour after it ends, so plan your pickup timing around those closures.
