- Michael ULas Vegas, Nevada47,037 contributionsIconicAs iconic an arena as one can name outside MSG The Forum remains a venerable institution next to the grandiosity of SoFi. Attended for a concert it is easy to appreciate decades of nostalgia in clean sight-lines, pure acoustics and the flow from outside to in. Highly recommended for the nostalgia but also for continued excellence.Visited December 2023Travelled soloWritten 14 January 2024

Good memories of the days seeing great concerts and the Lakers and the Kings. Still a good place to see a concert. Way better sound than across the street at SoFi.

- Teresa PDubai, United Arab Emirates384 contributionsFantastic venueMy daughter and I travel to LA specifically to go to a concert at the forum. We booked into a motel in Inglewood and got an Uber to the venue. The venue its self is clean and appears to be well managed. Considering the crowds the restrooms are amazingly clean. It is a cash less venue. You can purchase food from a grab and go shop. It is venue food - pizza, hotdogs and nachos with a few extras To get a ride back we took the advice of our Uber driver and walked across the road to Sizzler/ Starbucks and ordered a ride from there. It meant there were plenty of people around for us to feel safe and it gave the drive a good chance of stopping and finding us easily. Concerns over safety have been reported but we felt safe and took all precautions not to walk to far from the venueVisited July 2024Travelled with familyWritten 29 July 2024

I love the forum for concerts. We came to see the amazing Eagles play here.The acoustics are fantastic and the place is open and very comfortable.. not a bad seat in the house for this concert and I got to sit in few different seats around the stadium. The staff is amazing dealing with covid protocols and place is very easy to get into and find your seat. seats a comfortable and both food and beverage is great and lines are not long. There are few sections open to the outside where you can get "fresh" air if you want and there were bars set up outside as well. Very well run and can't wait to go back to see another convert at the Forum. Parking is plentiful and i should have driven because getting home is very tricky from here. taxis are basically non-existent as uber and other ride sharing companies have taken over and taxis dont want to bother coming here.. the issue is that uber and other guys are deplorable.. and complete scammers... they accept rides, then cancel right in front of you driving prices higher and higher.. got to a point where some of these guys were scamming ppl for $120 for $30 rides.. completely unacceptable.. the Forum should not accommodate these guys and allow taxis in their place.

The Forum has been my favorite concert venue. Now new stadium opened the next door. They raised parking fee from $25 to $45. $45 parking may be norm for NFL game but it is too high for a concert.

I was here on both 9/11 and 9/12 for the Ghost concerts. The Forum is a very nice space, both acoustically and for visuals. I was straight back from the stage in 101 and had no issue with seeing everything that was going on. I dropped it to four instead of five because the venue had no idea where to have different categories of tickets line up the first evening. It was pure chaos and afterwards as well -- security pushing people walking towards the ride share lot into the parking lot to get around the building. With the number of cars trying to get out, it was dangerous. However, the second night they seem to have a handle on the lines and it went much smoother. Kudos to the kind staff who kept their cool, a little more training needed for those who didn't. Also, all the venue staff inside were very cordial as well. Great place to see a concert.

Still during COVID pandemic when we attended concert, so many more restrictions with size of purse to enter, vaccinations, masks, etc. Sooo many people attending but I have to say the staff were helpful, courteous, and patient.
Their professionalism made the concert more calmer with attendees' emotions focused more on the music, the performers, and the excitement of being there at The Beautiful Forum!

From the poorly directed traffic on arrival to the forced one-way traffic on leaving, this place is a nightmare.
The Forum parking lot was full except for prepaid so we had to use the overflow parking at SoFi Stadium. But they had no one directing the three lanes of cars as to which lane they should be in so we were in the wrong lane until we got right up to the parking lot we could not use. Then had to get in another lane that Sent us around to SoFi. The paperless ticket entry caused no end of delay and long lines to get in. The opening act had already started so it was dark and we weren't sure where our seats were but ushers would only vaguely point that our seats were "that way" (the other side of the auditorium), leaving us to mill about in the aisle until the lights came up and we could see to find them ourselves. The seats are tiny and close together, no room for your legs at all; I'm 5'2" and my knees were folded up uncomfortably. Snack stand was cashless forcing my husband to switch glasses just so he could pay for his beer and read the card machine that turned out to only be asking for a tip (as if). On leaving we had to walk all the way around again to get to our parking but they wouldn't let us use the convenient walkway around the arena, we had to go into the forum parking lot and walk the longest route possible to get to our far away parking spot. Then they force us to all leave by the same route, putting us two Iles out of our way. I have lived in So Cal my whole life and been to the Forum countless times. Not only has it steadily gone downhill over the years but this was the worst expenirence I have ever had there. Absolutely no care or consideration for the customer. You had better hope your show is good because that's the only saving grace.

HORRIBLE SOUND. Earth Wind and Fire and Lionel Richie concert sounded like they were singing under blankets. The sound was muffled and you could barely make out the lyrics. I've attended Earth Wind and Fire concerts for 50 years and never has it sounded muffled like this. It was not the performers fault. Something wrong with the venue sound or the sound engineers working that night.
Never going back to this venue.

I've been to a lot of music venues, I understand that there are unruly crowds, but the rules and policies at the Kia Forum are ridiculous. Two places to park, but signage is terrible. They yell at you for doing anything wrong, but you can only ask certain people for help. It's a cattle herd and feels very impersonal, especially when you are paying hundreds of dollars for a ticket and parking. They want to pack as many people in, take all your money, and make you feel like it's your fault that you want to enjoy yourself? No standing at your seat? No "blocking" the exits. Only certain ways to enter/exit places. I feel bad for the workers enforcing these dumb rules, instead of the Forum making the building more accessible and safe for the patrons.

Way better sound than across the street at SoFi. Parking is way overpriced so if you're already upset at having to overpay for tickets thru the MONOPOLY TicketMaster and their 38% in fees, just be prepared to also feel ripped-off to park... and for Merch.

Went here to see harry styles. It’s placed in a very interesting location and it’s kind of hard to get out of, but there’s a lot of parking. I believe I paid $30 to park at the venue. The lobby area isn’t super roomy, but it’s got a different vibe to it. Make sure to bring a sweater because it’s gets chilly! Would see more concerts here again

I was wondering if me (16) and my friend (16) are able to go to the Arctic Monkeys concert alone together at the Forum. I checked the event details and there is no indication of an age limit but I want to make sure.

Hi, How is the traffic around The Forun the day of a big concert? How early do we need to make our way there if we are 20 miles away?
Written 2 November 2022
Traffic is awful and then you need to park which takes some time. If you are 20 miles away you need to leave 3 hours ahead of time.

Can you go without and adult to a concert in honda center ? To the enhypen concert on October 3 I'm 15 btw
Written 25 September 2022
One additional answer to your question =
A response from the Honda Center regarding you as a minor (15 year-old) purchasing and attending a concert at the Honda Center alone:
"There are not age limits for any upcoming events. It is as the discretion of the parent or guardian to permit a minor to attend an event without a chaparone."
Written 26 September 2022
I'll be 15 by the time I go to the harry styles concert and the plan is that my younger sister (11) will be sitting next to me but my mom is sitting in two sections away from us. Is this ok or would my mom need to be sitting with us. And if possible would I be able to sit alone and my sister and mom sit together ?
Written 27 May 2022
You will be able to do whatever you want. Simply go in as a group and then you can decide where you would like to sit. No one will say anything to you. Don't talk to strangers.
