I really enjoyed my experience at The Shrine Auditorium. The chandeliers, though old, added so much charm and character to the space. I loved the classic, old-style architecture — it felt like stepping back in time. I came to see the Italian composer Ludovico Einaudi, and his music filled the hall beautifully. The combination of timeless design and breathtaking music made the night unforgettable.
I bought tickets for Hugel concert on Vivid app, and I was scammed. This place doesn’t have VIP cabins or First Row experience. There are no rows — only a huge dance floor and a balcony on the second floor with limited access.
I recently attended a concert at the Shrine Auditorium and had an amazing experience! I highly recommend getting Preferred Parking — it was super convenient, quick in and out, no waiting at all. The staff were friendly and helpful, and there were plenty of food and drink options available, which made the night even better. Overall, everything was smooth and well organized — a great venue for live shows!
You must be kidding me. I bought this ticket to come to see L’imperrice. The ticket was changed from Nov last year to Now. Finally I thought I would see L’impetrance’s performance. Then started from 8:45 entering in, then till 9:00pm, it started then. However, it was still not L’impetrice. A hip hoop instead, lasting for more than 40mins. I am like what?????? You must be kidding me. I am not here for hip pop. There was no any notification or guidance to know the schedule. Standing here for a hip pop instead. Super disappointed!!! Will not come here for any event. The ticket was $179 or more. I don’t think it is worth it. If unfortunately you must come here, think some questions like: 1. If you want to stand in the first row, come as early as possible. 2. How do you go to restroom before you really see your desired band since some other artists will perform first? And how will you squeeze back in the crowd. 3. Time planing. After some warm up for more than 40 mins, then another setup will take 20 mins or so. If you work tomorrow, then plan wisely. 4. Think if the ticket is really worth it. Ok. I was going to give 1 star for the crap beginning. But L’impetrice is an awesome band, I take back the words that I said the ticket is not worth it. Today I finally know I am not the only one who likes this band, and worships their talent. It was a great performance! These really talented artists should be seen!!! And thank for their music. It was so much fun. We need more great french artists such as Vendredi sur Mer, Ichon, Vanille, Emma Peters, Lewis Ofman… come to L.A. I am soooo satisfied with the price I paid. Just I still hate that the opening show was too long, and I hold my pee during the entire show.
Huge venue and paying for parking is actually worth it here! I bought parking on the website and it came with a private entrance that was easy to get in and out of. They even had a private parking attendant to direct traffic. The restrooms were clean. The crowd had plenty of room to mosh. If you didn't want to be rowdy, there was an amazing balcony that I'm sure had a great view. The sound system was great as well. I wish I wandered around more to see more of it!
