Los Angeles County residents with active Medi-Cal or EBT cards will be able to buy $10 tickets to Los Angeles Philharmonic performances at the Hollywood Bowl beginning with the 2027 season, the LA Phil announced Thursday.
At least 100 tickets for each Hollywood Bowl performance presented by the LA Phil will be offered for $10 each to eligible residents on a first-come, first-served basis.
Details on how to request the tickets will be announced closer to the 2027 season, according to the LA Phil.
The program expands an initiative launched at The Ford during the 2026 season.
“Live music belongs to everyone,” LA Phil President and CEO Kim Noltemy said. “Expanding access to the arts is at the heart of our mission, and throughout the year we work to ensure that our concerts and programs are open and welcoming to all Angelenos.”
The LA Phil operates the Hollywood Bowl in partnership with the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation.
Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger, whose Fifth District includes the Hollywood Bowl, praised the expansion.
“The Hollywood Bowl is one of Los Angeles County’s most cherished public assets, and every resident should have the opportunity to experience the joy, inspiration, and sense of community that it offers,” Barger said.
Norma E. GarcÃa-González, director of the county Department of Parks and Recreation, said the program aims to reduce financial barriers to attending performances.
“By 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’s most iconic parks and outdoor music venues,” GarcÃa-González said.
The LA Phil said it already makes more than 50,000 Hollywood Bowl tickets available annually for $1 and distributes tens of thousands of complimentary tickets to community and neighborhood organizations.
The organization also provides 2,000 tickets, along with transportation and meals, to seniors and at-risk youth through a partnership with the county Department of Parks and Recreation.
