Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Ahmanson Theatre

135 N Grand Ave

Los Angeles, CA 90012

Located within The Music Center in Downtown Los Angeles, the Ahmanson is steps from cultural landmarks, dining, and public art — a central spot that’s easy to reach from across the city.

• Parking: On-site parking is available at The Music Center garage (entrance on Grand Ave), with rates typically ranging from $10–$20. Additional nearby lots and street parking may be available.
• Public Transit: Convenient access via Metro Red and Purple Lines (Civic Center/Grand Park Station), several bus lines, and DASH shuttles.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup/dropoff zones are located on Grand Ave near the theatre entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before showtime to allow time for parking, security screening, and a relaxed pre-show experience. If you’re using public transit, the Civic Center/Grand Park Station on the Metro Red and Purple Lines puts you a short walk from the theatre.

As an indoor venue, weather is generally not a concern, but give yourself a buffer if you’re coming from farther out — Downtown traffic and garage queues can add time. There’s some walking from the parking garages to the entrance, and while elevators and ramps are available, comfortable footwear is always a smart choice.

If you’re picking up concessions or browsing merchandise, arriving early helps you skip lines and settle into your seats before the curtain rises. You’ll also have time to enjoy The Music Center plaza and views of Downtown LA’s architecture and evening city lights.

Venue Navigation

The Ahmanson’s modernist design centers around a spacious lobby with clear wayfinding to Orchestra, Mezzanine, and Balcony levels. Elevators and ramps provide access to all floors, with restrooms and ATMs available on-site.

Concession stands serve snacks, beverages, and light fare, while bars offer wine, local beer, and specialty cocktails. Merchandise stands appear during major productions. Charging stations may be limited, so arrive with a fully charged phone and keep your device silenced during performances.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Arrive early to explore The Music Center plaza and enjoy Downtown LA’s architecture before the show.
• If driving, plan your route to the Grand Ave garage entrance and budget time for parking queues.

Pre-Event Planning

Make a night of it by arriving early to explore The Music Center campus and nearby cultural highlights. The plaza outside the theatre showcases public art and striking city views, and evening performances pair beautifully with the glow of Downtown LA.

For groups, pick a clear meeting point in the spacious lobby or on the plaza to streamline your arrival. If you’re choosing seats together, use the Ahmanson Theatre seating chart to coordinate the right sections — whether you prefer the intimacy of center Orchestra or a full-stage perspective from the Mezzanine.

If you plan to dine before curtain, consider one of the many nearby restaurants and leave time to pass through security and find your seats without rushing. A little planning goes a long way toward a relaxed, memorable evening.
