start for the opening act, we hung out in Pacific Beach and left for the arena around 6:30 p.m. Having attended a concert at the Bowl before, I opted for this venue to avoid dealing with Hollywood Blvd and the $30-$40 parking fees you inevitably pay in the area. Living in Orange County, I had the option of coming down to SD or driving north to the Hollywood Bowl. I came here for the Ed Sheeran concert in June 2015.
