LA County Board of Supervisors approves price hike for Hollywood Bowl tickets

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved an increase in ticket prices for the 2019 Hollywood Bowl season on Tuesday.

Most of the increases amount to $1 or $2 a seat.

Concertgoers paying for the highest-priced garden and pool circle boxes will see hikes of up to $7 on weekends and $12 for special events.

Forty percent of all tickets will still be priced at $37 or less.

Increased production, labor, marketing and artists' costs are to blame for the hike, officials said.
