The Hollywood Bowl Box Office opens May 5 at 10AM, marking the start of single ticket sales for the 2026 summer season. For many fans, this is one of the most important dates of the year, as it provides the first opportunity to purchase individual concert tickets.

Single Tickets now Available

Up to this point, ticket access has been limited to subscription renewals and “Create Your Own” packages. Now that those sales periods have ended, the Hollywood Bowl Box Office May 5 opening allows all fans to buy tickets for specific shows.

Tickets can be purchased in two ways. First, fans can buy tickets online through the Hollywood Bowl website. This is typically the most popular option, and you should expect a queue when sales begin. In addition, tickets can be purchased in person at the Hollywood Bowl Box Office.

Going to the Box Office

For those planning to visit the box office, it is worth arriving early. Lines can form before opening, especially for high-demand shows. In some cases, the Bowl uses a wristband system to organize the line and manage entry.

Online buyers should also be prepared. Logging in early and having a plan for which shows you want can make a big difference. Popular performances can sell quickly once the queue opens.

The Hollywood Bowl Box Office May 5 opening is often the moment when the summer season truly begins. It is the first time fans can build their schedule show by show, rather than committing to packages.

If you are targeting a specific concert, it is a good idea to act quickly. Demand can be high, especially for opening weekend shows, fireworks nights, and major headliners. The Hollywood Bowl Box Office will post on X which wrist band numbers are being served. Good luck!

Please note: There is no online handling fee for $1 seats. $1 seats are limited to 4 per household.
