Where Your Car Actually Meets You After an LA Event
How your chauffeur finds you after the show, and the pickup zone at every major Los Angeles venue: SoFi, Crypto.com Arena, the Hollywood Bowl, the Greek, Dodger Stadium and more.
The answer, in one line: our chauffeurs are event-pickup pros. When the show is over, text your chauffeur: they coordinate the best pickup location and send you a pin. If you have a lot or parking pass, they stage right in the lot. Each major Los Angeles venue's own pickup zone is listed further down this page.
That matters more than it sounds until you have stood outside a stadium at eleven at night. An address is not a meeting point. “2700 N Vermont Ave” is the Greek Theatre, and it is also a mile of kerb along a canyon road with one-way exits. “1001 Stadium Drive” is SoFi, and it is a site the size of a small town. Handing someone an address and hoping they find each other is how a good evening ends in twenty minutes of phone calls. A pin dropped on the car is not.
How it works, stated plainly
The spot is decided on the night, by someone standing there, because plans meet reality and reality wins. Your chauffeur knows each venue's own rules: most major venues funnel cars into one zone after an event and enforce it, some with their own staff and some with police, and a few permit pickup nowhere else. Within those rules, the pin goes wherever gets you to the car fastest. If you would rather be picked up somewhere specific, text your chauffeur and they will make it work.
What we will not do is improvise silently. If your chauffeur has to move, you get a new pin before you are looking for a car that is not there.
Why drop-off and pickup are usually different places
This is the part that catches people out, and it is worth understanding because it is not arbitrary. On the way in, traffic is spread over an hour or more and a private car can generally use a premium or valet lane close to the gate. On the way out, thirty to eighty thousand people leave within about twenty minutes of each other, and venues manage that by funnelling every car into one controlled zone.
So the same venue can have a comfortable kerb by the door on arrival and a marshalled lot on the far side afterwards. Angel Stadium is the clearest case: you go in through the Orangewood entrance and you come out at Gate 1. Both are listed below wherever they differ.
About the wait
We would rather tell you the truth than make a promise the traffic controls will break. At the busiest venues the queue after a sell-out is genuinely long: the Hollywood Bowl's own guidance for its rideshare lot is 45 to 90 minutes, and SoFi's Kareem Court queue can run past an hour after a full stadium.
Our answer is not to claim we beat the queue. It is a chauffeur who knows the venue, is in position before the crowd rather than behind it, and pins the car the moment you text, so you walk out to something already waiting. The wait is ours. That is most of what you are paying for on an event night.
Every venue's own pickup zone
Below is the current list, for reference; your chauffeur's pin on the night is what counts. 18 of these 22 zones come from the venue's own published policy or its named rideshare partner. Where we could not confirm a designated zone, we say so rather than inventing one.
Angel Stadium
Angel Stadium splits the two directions: drop-off comes in through the Orangewood entrance, and pickup is in the lot directly in front of Gate 1, near the City National Grove, marked by a red light pole.
Drop-off and pickup are different gates here. Orangewood in, Gate 1 out.
BMO Stadium
BMO Stadium's designated pickup is the Green Lot, formerly Lot 6, immediately outside the Southeast Entrance and entered from Figueroa. Cars collect at the top of the Green Lot.
Exposition Park empties into the same streets as any Coliseum or USC event. Check for a second event.
Crypto.com Arena
Crypto.com Arena has two designated white zones, both a short walk from the main entrances: Chick Hearn Court eastbound between L.A. Live Way and Georgia Street, and Figueroa Street southbound between 12th and Pico. Your chauffeur pins the one that is quicker that night.
Both zones are LAPD-enforced. Stopping outside the white zone is a citation, so we do not improvise here.
Dodger Stadium
Dodger Stadium moved pickup from Lot 11 to Lot 1, with cars entering through Gate B to keep Gate A clear. Cars collect from Lot 1.
Lot 1, not Lot 11 — the zone moved, and older guides still say Lot 11.
Galen Center
Galen Center uses the passenger loading zone on Figueroa Street just west of the building, with additional pickup on Flower Street. Accessible pickup is at the Jefferson Street and Figueroa Street cut-outs.
Shares Exposition Park congestion with BMO Stadium and the Coliseum.
Greek Theatre
The Greek designates Lot C, at Vermont and Commonwealth, for limousines, taxis, rideshare and private cars alike, entered from Vermont Avenue. It is the venue's zone for cars after a show.
Vermont Avenue backs up badly on show nights. We come in early rather than fight it at the end.
Hollywood Bowl
The Bowl sends all rideshare and car pickup to Lot C, the Purple lot, at 6655 Odin Street. Leaving the main gates, follow the purple lights down Pepper Tree Lane and through the pedestrian tunnel. The lot is entered from northbound Highland or westbound Odin.
The Bowl itself warns post-concert pickup in Lot C runs 45 to 90 minutes. We stage before the encore so the car is there when you are.
Honda Center
Honda Center sends pickup across the street to ARTIC, the Anaheim transit centre at 2626 East Katella Avenue. Cars enter from Douglass Road off Katella. It is a short, well-lit walk from the arena.
Traffic officers direct the ARTIC approach on event nights and their instruction overrides the map.
Intuit Dome
Intuit Dome permits pickup in exactly one place: the Mobility Hub on the first level of the Standard East Garage, 3700 W Century Blvd. There is no curbside alternative, so that is where the pin will be.
This is the ONLY spot on the property where pickup is allowed. Kerbside anywhere else gets moved on.
Kia Forum
The Kia Forum has a dedicated pickup lot on site: Lot H, at Pincay Drive and Prairie Avenue. Drop-offs are allowed at any entrance, so we bring you to the closest door on the way in. Lot H is the venue's zone on the way out.
When SoFi has a major event the same night, the Forum RELOCATES this zone to the other side of the building. Confirm on the night.
Microsoft Theater
The Microsoft Theater is now the Peacock Theater, the same building at 777 Chick Hearn Court. Pickup uses L.A. Live's two white zones: Chick Hearn Court eastbound, and Figueroa Street southbound between 12th and Pico.
Renamed venue. Tickets and listings may say either name for the same room.
Pantages Theatre
The Pantages has no designated pickup lot, and Hollywood Boulevard at curtain-down is not somewhere to wait. Your chauffeur picks a quieter side street and sends you a pin.
No official zone published. Hollywood and Vine is heavily enforced on show nights.
We have not been able to confirm this one against the venue's own published policy, so rather than guess, your chauffeur picks the spot on the night and sends you a pin.
Pasadena Convention Center
The Pasadena Convention Center publishes no dedicated pickup zone, and the right spot depends on which hall your event is in. Your chauffeur picks it and sends you a pin.
UNVERIFIED — no official policy located. Confirm with the client before the day.
We have not been able to confirm this one against the venue's own published policy, so rather than guess, your chauffeur picks the spot on the night and sends you a pin.
Peacock Theater
The Peacock Theater sits inside L.A. Live and shares Crypto.com Arena's two white zones: Chick Hearn Court eastbound, and Figueroa Street southbound between 12th and Pico.
If the arena has an event the same night, the L.A. Live zones are shared and slow. We stage early.
Rose Bowl
Drop-off at the Rose Bowl works normally: your chauffeur brings you to the stadium. For the way out, the reported rideshare pickup point is Holly Street, between Fair Oaks and Raymond in Old Pasadena.
We have not been able to confirm this one against the venue's own published policy, so rather than guess, your chauffeur picks the spot on the night and sends you a pin.
Shrine Auditorium
The Shrine holds all pickup traffic at the bottom gate from about 30 minutes before the show ends until the parking lots clear, which can take around 45 minutes. There is a rideshare lounge on the Redwood Deck in the main plaza where you can wait in comfort, and we will come to you as soon as the gate opens.
The gate hold is the venue's, not ours. Nobody gets up the hill early, so we plan for it.
SoFi Stadium
SoFi routes rideshare, taxis and limousines to the same place: the northbound curb lane on Kareem Court at Manchester Boulevard. Your chauffeur knows the curb and the queue, and pins the quickest way to the car once you text that the show is over.
After a sell-out the Kareem Court queue can run well over an hour. We stage early and hold, so the wait is ours and not yours.
The Forum
The Forum and the Kia Forum are the same building. Pickup is Lot H, at Pincay Drive and Prairie Avenue.
Zone relocates when SoFi has a major event the same night.
Toyota Arena
Toyota Arena takes pickup on the north side of the building, reached from Via Asti off Fourth Street, with the marked spots at the northwest corner.
Walt Disney Concert Hall
The Music Center takes pickup on Grand Avenue directly in front of the concert hall, in the marked loading zone. There is a second point at 218 N Hope Street beside Jerry Moss Plaza if Grand is blocked.
Wiltern Theatre
The Wiltern has no dedicated pickup lot. Wilshire itself is a poor place to stop, so the usual spots are Oxford Avenue behind the venue near the parking structure, or Western south of Wilshire. Your chauffeur picks the better one that night and sends you a pin.
No official zone published. We agree the side street with you rather than assume.
We have not been able to confirm this one against the venue's own published policy, so rather than guess, your chauffeur picks the spot on the night and sends you a pin.
YouTube Theater
YouTube Theater at Hollywood Park uses the Pink Zone in Lot P, reached via Century Boulevard and Yukon Avenue. Cars turn into Lot P off Yukon.
Shares the Hollywood Park campus with SoFi. On a double-event night the whole area gates off early.
How current this is
Venues move their zones, and some do it routinely. The Kia Forum openly relocates its pickup lot whenever SoFi has a major event the same night, because the two sites share the same streets. So this list is not written once and forgotten. It is re-checked before big nights, and the same record that produced this page is what your chauffeur works from. On the night, your chauffeur confirms on arrival, which is one more reason the pin, not a line written days earlier, is what you walk to.
If you are booking for a venue that is not on this list, that is not a problem. It works the same way: text your chauffeur when the show is over and they send you a pin.
Questions about this
Where will my driver be after the concert?
Wherever works best that night, and your chauffeur handles it. Our chauffeurs are event-pickup pros who work these venues all the time. When the show is over, text your chauffeur: they coordinate the best pickup location and send you a pin, so you walk straight to the car. If you have a lot or parking pass, they stage right in the lot.
Can I ask to be picked up somewhere else?
Yes. Text your chauffeur where you would like to be picked up and they will make it work, traffic controls permitting. The only places we cannot flex are venues that enforce a single zone, such as Intuit Dome, which permits pickup nowhere else on the property.
Is the pickup spot the same place you drop me off?
Usually not. On arrival a private car can often use a premium lane near the gate; after the event, venues funnel every car into one controlled zone that may be on a different side of the building. Angel Stadium is the clearest example: in through Orangewood, out at Gate 1. Your chauffeur's pin accounts for that, and each venue above lists both where they differ.
How long will I wait after a sold-out event?
The venues themselves publish long figures: the Hollywood Bowl says 45 to 90 minutes for its rideshare lot, and SoFi's queue can pass an hour after a full stadium. Your chauffeur is in position before the crowd rather than queueing behind it, so that wait is absorbed by your chauffeur rather than by you.
What if the venue changes its pickup zone?
Some do it regularly. The Kia Forum relocates its pickup lot whenever SoFi has a major event the same night. We re-check before big nights, your chauffeur confirms on arrival, and the pin you get is for where the car actually is.
