Concert Venues in Los Angeles are always fun to attend in the beautiful city of angels! Here are 4 insider tips for getting the best experience at the next concert venue you attend in the city of flowers and sunshine.

Whether you are lined up to see Ed Sheeran at the Wiltern Theater or you're finding your seat to listen to the amazing musical scores of John Williams at the Hollywood Bowl, there are certain things you need to know to cultivate the best experience.

Tip #1: Your Timing is Crucial When Heading to Concert Venues in Los Angeles.

Remember that John Williams guy I mentioned earlier. He has produced the music for several movies that are incredibly popular from Star Wars to Indiana Jones to Harry Potter and more. When he is at the Hollywood Bowl, be ready for the traffic!

The city of Los Angeles itself is not built for mass crowds. That is one of the main reasons there is SOOO much traffic most of the time. With two-lane roads and congested parking lots, be prepared for a ton of traffic.

Depending on what concert you are attending, you will want to give yourself PLENTY of time to arrive, get your tickets (or show them), and find your seat. Many concert venues in Los Angeles will also have food and drink available, so you will want to have a good amount of time for that as well.

A concert is something where you do NOT want to be late.

Tip #2: Plan. Plan. Plan.

For all my spontaneous friends out there, attending concert venues in Los Angeles is not the time to fly by the seat of your pants. If you do that, you are setting yourself up for a night of chaos and frustration.

The more you can plan out your night when attending any kind of concert, the better. Always purchase your tickets ahead of time. Showing up to the window and hoping tickets are available is a risky game. In addition, you will want to know exactly where you are going to park.

Protip for Parking: If you are able, drive around before the day of the event to scout out where you should park. If you find a parking lot or parking structure, you will know exactly how much it will cost. If not, you can plan on taking some kind of ride-sharing service to the event.

It is also a good idea to plan out where you will be eating before or after the event. This will help make for a smooth and fun-filled night!

Tip #3: Show your Feet a Little Love!

This one probably depends on the type of concert you will be attending. However, either way, you will most likely have to walk form the parking lot to your seating. That alone could be many steps. Having said this, show some love to your fee when headed to concert venues in Los Angels!

Dress the part! Have a good time! But maybe stick to tennis shoes. They are totally in right now anyways! Grab some comfy shoes so you can completely enjoy your night instead of worrying about blisters and sore toes.
