The Wiltern

Pro: - It's located in the business area. - Many popular entertainers held their concerts here. - You can view the stage from all seats. - It's closed to many freeways so it's easy to get there. - There are restaurants, drugstore and supermarket closed by. Actually in the same block. - The building, itself, is a classic design. Con: - The parking is not easy to find on the street since it's a business community. If the more popular entertainers are in town, the parking price is as high as $25. - You have to get in line in order to get the seat you want. There is only few concerts that give you the assigned seat. - The theater is considering small comparing to other out-of-town theater. Overall: Very good theater to spend time with your friends. more

I've been to this place what seems a hundred times, and it's one of my favorite venues to see a concert. First off, I LOVE the layout. Instead of just one big floor like a lot of general admission venues, the floor is divided up into sections, one higher than the next so you get a good view of the stage. They also limit the pit to the first 200 people so you feel really safe. (It doesn't really protect you from people who want to mosh anyway though). Unfortunately, they take away your ticket and give your wristbands before you enter the pit, but you can get your ticket stub back after the show near the main entrance/exit. I've also been up the mezzanine level and you still get a pretty good view up there. The art-deco architecture also adds class to the place. I've usually been able to find street parking around the venue even on a Friday and Saturday night so you save yourself the $10 parking if you're willing to walk a couple blocks. more

This old restored theatre is a beautiful place to enjoy a concert. The facilities are clean, well kept and they feel safe. The venue may be small but you hardly notice and there is no way you’ll be in the nosebleed section because there is no nosebleed section. There are a lot of different bands that play so you can always catch a different act and afterwards there are some restaurants within walking distance. more

The Wiltern Theatre is located in on the corner of Hollywood and Wiltern in Los Angeles. It has about 3000 seats total including the balcony. I thoroughly enjoy watching the concerts in this theatre. There is no bad seats because this theatre is so small. It makes a concert going experience a lot more cozy and personal. There is available parking down the block in the Ralphs groceries store complex. The only down side is that because the theatre is so small, when the bigger bands or names in music come into town, it is difficult to get tickets because they sell out in seconds. I like come to this theatre for my concerts. more
