    Great venue!! Very beautiful! It's very intimate that you can see the stage from any seat! My only problem is the acoustics. It's difficult to hear in the back of the orchestra section.

    The front of the nose bleed section still offers a decent view at a very fair price. There are two parking lots adjacent to the building ($10 flat fee).

    Very nice. Make sure you know rather or not the event includes parking. I pod $12.50 for 2.5 hours only to find out parking was included. Great venue.

    Beautiful event concert hall. Acoustics is excellent. Sound from just 1 piano went all the way to the 3 mezzanines. Spectacular!! 🌝

    Don't confuse Southcoast Repertory Theatre stage with Segerstrom stage. Cliseby, though. Samueli stage is also part of this complex.

    Beautiful architecture and Pacific Symphony is great. But if you really want excellence on another level, go downtown and see the LA Phil at Walt Disney Concert Hall for a treat. You'll be glad you

    Great alternative to more expensive shows in L.A. Park across the street at the mall for free and walk over.

    The rear of the upper levels are a bit too far. Audio isn't loud enough. If you can afford it, spend more and sit closer. Okay if you've seen the show before though.

    Try to buy rush tickets if you can, its such a good deal. Also if you show up early for rush you may be there early enough that you don't have to pay for parking

    If you're anxious to get back to the show, preorder your refreshments to skip the long concession lines during intermissions.

    look out for the "RUSH" tickets.. Got to see the NY Phil for $50 bucks and had orchestra seats! Amazing Show! Debussy's "La Mer" was off the hook!

    Order your drinks before the show at the bar and avoid the long lines at intermission.

    Only bathrooms on first floor. Not amenable to shoes with short intermissions.
