So, took these 5 steps to barely making the show on time having left Los Angeles area 4 hours ahead!!!! This was freakin' ridiculous. Step 1: be patient just to get into the parking lot Step 2: find parking (wasn't so bad If you had VIP Parking) Step 3: Waiting in freakin' long line to be bag Check Step 4: bag check procedure Step 5: you're finally in but if you had to use the rest room, there went another line here. Aside from this issue, the line was Extremely long just getting through bag check! There was some time wasted during the bag check process too. Came to find out that it took an additional 1/2 hour Just to turn Into the parking lot. I had to be extremely patient Just to enter into the Venue's parking lot for a VIP. I was overly excited for the Andre Rieu concert they hosted here only to find out that Just getting into the parking lot was a Complete nightmare & disaster. Don't bother visiting this venue: it's not upscale as the Hollywood Bowl truly is.
