Forum Arrival time before concert?

You won't have any problems getting a space in the Forum parking lot or the lot across the street on the Hollywood Park grounds up until showtime...I arrived at the Forum for last Thursday's opening night at 7:15pm and had no problems getting in with time to spare. Not recommended but point is that the lot isn't packed as it has been in years past.

For the show on 4/14 doors did not open till around 7pm, a bit later than scheduled. I thnk standard door time is 6:30.

Forum lot costs $25 & was not packed. I paid $15 to park on the corner of manchester & Prairie & would do the same again.

He didn't go on until a little after 9 last week and then around 9:20 or so tonight. We got there early tonight and just hung in the parking lot with friend for a few hours having a few drinks and eating. Will probably do the same on Saturday again.

It's no dead or phish lot, but still better than sitting at home and worrying about traffic etc.

I came south on the 405 and got off the freeway at 7:30 pm thinking I was early. It then took me another whole hour to get from the freeway to the Forum, which is only a mile and a half but traffic on Manchester Blvd was bumper to bumper. Completely missed Sheila E's opening act. Got there just in time to find the bathroom, my seat and be on time for Prince! I'm leaving home an hour earlier tonight!

if you come from the other side off of 110, there is MUCH less traffic on manchester.

If you take the 405 go one more exit to Century. take that to prairie and come up from the Hollywood park side. Very little traffic there and their lot is $5 less than the Forum.
