  1. True, but I’m a subscriber, and I have better seats than what’s available through the discount, so it doesn’t apply to me. But it certainly applies to any non-subscribers who follow any of my suggestions.

    And of course, you get a substantial savings just by taking Metro to the Bowl, even without any discounts: on-site parking (stack-parked!) starts at $17, and goes up, so with the price of gas, even a family of four would probably at least break even by taking Metro, and certainly a smaller group would save a few bucks. (Coming alone, from Orange County, and parking at the Wardlow station, I probably save around $30 per concert, just by taking Metro!)

    Note also that (as both the Metro Bowl page and the Bowl Parking page point out) if you don’t feel like walking up the hill from the Hollywood/Highland Station (about a mile and a half each way, platform to seat), the Bowl’s shuttle service is free to Metro riders.

  2. What’s better than dinner and the Dodgers?

    How about dinner and the Philharmonic? Maybe prime rib at Musso & Frank, followed by an evening of Rimsky-Korsakov, Sibelius, and Tchaikovsky? Or a hamburger at JuicyBurger, followed by Bugs Bunny at the Symphony? Or some “Mongolian Barbecue” at the H&H food court, followed by an evening with John Williams? Or pasta at Miceli’s, followed by an evening of Liszt and Respighi?

    Not that I’ve heard of any discounts for Metro riders, at any of those places.

    At any rate, as far as baseball is concerned, I prefer the Angels. Even though lately, they’ve been snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
