We are proud to partner with the County of Los Angeles Department of Parks &amp; Recreation to help make the Hollywood Bowl even more accessible and inclusive to our community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For each Hollywood Bowl performance in 2027 presented by the LA Phil, at least 100 tickets will be made available to Medi-Cal and EBT card holders for $10 each. Tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.<\/p>\n<p>Detailed instructions on how to request these tickets will be announced closer to the 2027 season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccess is about more than just attending a performance,\u201d LA Phil Board Chair Jason Subotky said. \u201cIt is about creating opportunities for people to see themselves as part of our cultural community. By extending this innovative program to the Hollywood Bowl, we are welcoming thousands more Angelenos to experience the joy of live music and helping build the next generation of audiences, artists, and arts supporters across Los Angeles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The expanded program is the latest addition to the LA Phil\u2019s growing ticket access commitment to ensure the Hollywood Bowl is more accessible and welcoming to all new audiences. Each year, the organization makes more than 50,000 tickets available for just $1 and distributes tens of thousands of complimentary tickets to community and neighborhood groups across Los Angeles. This includes 2,000 tickets with transportation and a meal provided to seniors and at-risk youth in partnership with the LA County Department of Parks and Recreation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLA County Parks is proud to deepen our partnership with the LA Phil to make world-class performing arts experiences more accessible to communities across Los Angeles County,\u201d said Norma E. Garc\u00eda-Gonz\u00e1lez, director of the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation. \u201cBy offering $10 Hollywood Bowl tickets to LA County residents with active Medi-Cal or EBT cards, we are breaking down cost barriers and opening the door for thousands of families to experience live music at one of our County\u2019s most iconic parks and outdoor music venues. This initiative builds on an unprecedented commitment to access, including the Hollywood Bowl Access Program for teens and seniors, the expansion of $1 tickets to 50,000 seats, targeted partnerships with school districts serving Title I schools, and extensive outreach and engagement with more than 120 community-based organizations.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The LA Phil has announced the expansion of its accessibility program, which debuted to notable success at The&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":456094,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[3057,48,52,51,47,50,49],"class_list":["post-456093","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-arts_and_entertainment","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456093","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=456093"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456093\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/456094"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=456093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=456093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=456093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
