I really liked the variety of the lineup. Event was well paced, with adequate time to use the restroom periodically. Would have preferred a longer set for some of the later acts. Favorites were Lady Antebellum, Taylor, Sia and Pharrell.
** Venue: Overall it was pretty clean, didn't see much trash on the ground, staffing was good. Had positive interactions with all Hollywood Bowl staff. Event goers were well behaved too. Seating area was as expected, though the goodies left on the seats were a pleasant surprise. CBS and AMP Radio did a great job marketing the event appropriately throughout the venue.
** Transportation: Used the Shuttle / Park & Ride option, which was a great way to get to the bowl. Avoided traffic on the freeway and the tandem parking fiasco. Only draw back was leaving a bit early to make sure we made our bus on time. Bus was clean and not crowded.
** Food: Like any venue, not a great value. But the option to bring your own food is great. Alcohol was incredibly expensive, but I expected it. Just wish if they were charging $9 it was for a good beer and Sangria for $28 is absurd.
**Dislikes: Leaving early to catch the bus home, costly food and beverage, late start compared to what was printed on tickets, no mention of fundraising amount for cancer (the event was supposed to be for charity, I'd like to know what was raised)
**Likes: Ease of travel to and from the bowl, variety of performances, clean venue, polite staff,
