Hollywood Bowl to raise ticket prices for 2014 season

The price of attending a concert at the Hollywood Bowl is going up again.

On Tuesday, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved ticket-price hikes for the venue, with the largest increases being $9 for some seats at special events and $6 for some seats at certain Saturday performances. The new prices are expected to go into effect at the start of the 2014 summer season, marking the second price increase in three years.

Tickets for Sunday world-night concerts and Wednesday jazz concerts will increase by about 3% overall, with prices rising $4 for pool circle box seats and $3 for garden, terrace and side box seats.

Pops concerts on Friday and Sunday nights will have hikes of $5 for pool circle box seats and $3 for garden, terrace and side box seats.

Ticket prices for classical concerts on Tuesday and Thursday evenings will also go up, with pool circle box seats increasing $4 and garden, terrace and side box seats costing $3 more. Some bench seats will go up $1.

Parking prices will remain unchanged.

In their request to the county, leaders of the L.A. Philharmonic said that ticket hikes would offset increased production, labor, marketing and artists’ costs.
