The Hollywood Bowl is offering tickets for just $1 for select 2026 concerts, with the sale set to open Thursday morning at 10 a.m. The discounted seats are limited to four per household and cover bench sections L-U.
The lineup includes the Blue Note Jazz Festival on June 13 and June 14, Chance the Rapper’s Juneteenth Celebration on June 19, Salsa Spectacular: Nathy Peluso & Grupo Niche on July 15, Brahms & Bizet on Aug. 6, and How to Train Your Dragon in Concert on Aug. 9. Customers must enter a promo code provided by their organization to qualify for the $1 tickets.
For a venue known as much for the experience as the bill, the draw is simple: a seat in the Bowl for the price of a coffee. Chris Schauble said he would suspect the seats might be a little further up, but added, “who cares, you’re in the building,” while Ginger Chan said, “Especially if you’ve never been to the Hollywood Bowl.”
The offer is aimed at select 2026 concerts, and the seats included in the promotion are in the bench sections L-U. That puts the deal within reach for listeners who want to get inside the Bowl without paying standard prices, though the low fare comes with a strict catch: the tickets are non-transferable and cannot be resold.
The venue said violating the resale policy may result in ticket cancellation and loss of access to future offers. That warning matters because the promotion depends on trust, with access tied not just to a low price but to a code from a participating organization and a cap that keeps the offer from being scooped up in bulk.
For fans who can use the code, Thursday’s sale is the chance to lock in some of the Bowl’s most recognizable summer dates for $1 apiece. For everyone else, the message is equally plain: the deal exists, but only for those who qualify and follow the rules.
