Hollywood Bowl 2026 Summer Presale Begins — Here’s the Code for Early Tickets

If you’ve been patiently waiting to purchase single-concert tickets to the Hollywood Bowl 2026 season, presented by the LA Phil, the wait is finally over. You can get presale tickets now. Per usual, Grimy Goods has the Hollywood Bowl presale code for you to use! With a stacked season including performances by David Byrne, Lucy Dacus, Erykah Badu, Orville Peck, St. Vincent, Nathy Peluso, Music from the Films of Wes Anderson featuring Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Britt Daniel (Spoon), Beck, Jeff Goldblum, and many more — this season, with all the latest additions, is shaping to be one of the best summers at the Bowl. Not to mention, concerts that went on sale early, such as the Blue Note Jazz Festival and A Roots Picnic Experience.

Please note: all tickets for the Hollywood Bowl’s 2026 summer season are sold directly through their website. These tickets are not available on Ticketmaster or any other ticketing platform. I can’t tell you how often people will go to Google Search, get duped by ads and sponsored links that get pushed to the top of a page, and are then forced to buy speculative tickets double the price of what they actually are sold for. Don’t be that person.

How the Hollywood Bowl Presale Works

There are two presale options for the Hollywood Bowl’s summer season: the official Hollywood Bowl presale and the American Express presale. We have outlined details for each.

To get single concert tickets to the Hollywood Bowl, you don’t have to buy a package deal. All you have to do is head over to their website, select the concert you want to attend, and then use the presale code below. Make sure you’re selecting an LA Phil-presented show, and not a Live Nation show. Unfortunately it can get confusing with Live Nation booking shows at the Bowl, however, you can use the filter option and check mark ✔️ “events presented by LA Phil.”

If you are an American Express cardholder, you can also access the American Express presale now until May 4 at 11:59 PM. Don’t forget to use your American Express card when at the Bowl to activate all those special perks like a dedicated fast-lane entrance, complimentary seat cushions (while supplies last), and 10% back on concessions. Use the American Express exclusive presale portal to get your tickets.

And if you’re not an American Express cardholder and you absolutely love going to concerts and music festivals, what are you waiting for? This is the credit card to have for music and culture lovers. In addition to the Hollywood Bowl, AMEX gets you exclusive perks to venues, concerts, and music festivals across the U.S. and around the world.

All single show tickets for the 2026 Hollywood Bowl season will go on sale to the general public on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at 10 AM PT. But why wait when you can’t snag your ticket now?

Pro Tips To Know

Please note: Live Nation-Hewitt Silva (LNHS) also books shows at the Hollywood Bowl, but those are not part of the LA Phil-presented official summer concerts season. Needless to say, LNHS has some great shows coming through. Tickets generally cost a lot more, whereas LA Phil-presented shows are much fairer in pricing and more accessible. Some concerts at the Hollywood Bowl can be purchased for just $1, and many can be bought for just $10 and $16

You can bring your own outside wine and beer to LA Phil-presented shows at the Hollywood Bowl, but you can’t do that when it’s a Live Nation show.
