What People Are Saying About Hollywood Palladium
The Editor

More than 68 years after the Tommy Dorsey orchestra and Frank Sinatra opened the stage of the Palladium, Jay-Z had the honor of kicking off the Hollywood landmark's second life in October 2008. This time around, the stage where Betty Grable sang to WWII servicemen and where The Ramones and Led Zeppelin rocked out is able to accommodate larger and technically complex productions of today's superstar acts. Yet old-time fans can attest to the preservation of the original aesthetic of the space with the tastefully updated interior and exterior areas. However, with new ownership comes a new…

Worst venue in LA
by Foment3 at Citysearch
The new Palladium suffers from some of the same problems the old one did. UItra aggressive staff and tape lines in the venue herding you into specific spots to stand. In other words, you get in and can't see a thing and all of a sudden some flashlight is in your face saying that you can not stand there. Try this the whole night everywhere you go. This equals a lousy experience and I will never go back no matter who is there. Stay away from this zoo and go to the Wiltern, Fonda or the El Rey and enjoy the show instead of being hassled by some junior with a light. Lousy venue and terrible policy.
- Pros: None
- Cons: Staff, size, parking, prices

easy to find

the Bob Dylan show was great. The security harassed us for sitting on the rail,only us!Once you leave they won't let you back in to buy merch. They allowed children(8yrs,old) and families in and they carried on as if they were in their livingroom-very annoying to everyone else.Prices of drinks($12) makes you head for the water fountain and settle for the contact high. There are no seats in spite of what is printed on the tickets-NO ROWS and NO SEATS.A plain wooden floor only. Your feet are really gonna hurt cause you can't move around much unless you go to the dance floor where you cant see very well.If they have someone I like a lot I'll return.
- Pros: good show
- Cons: high prices

The Palladium is GREAT!

Saw Keane at this recently renovated venue last Saturday. What an amazing place to catch a show. I loved the fact that there was TONS of parking, friendly security, minimal lines for drinks AND clean bathrooms. I couldn't recommend a better place for a concert.
The Details on Hollywood Palladium
Know Before You Go:
Prepare for a body search before you walk in, so leave the tape recorder at home.
Know Before You Go:
For those who want to avoid Ticketmaster, the box office is open on show days and accepts cash only on the night of the event.
Parking:
Scoring a metered spot nearby is difficult but not impossible. Street parking on Sunset Blvd. begins at 7pm, an hour or two before the shows start and when the busy street is full of open meters. There are also paid lots on Argyle and surrounding areas.
