656 Saban Theatre Tips
If you go to the Saban Theater on a Sunday, there is free parking on La Cienega as well as on Wilshire Blvd. if you go early. I parked right across from the $10. garages.
The Hill Bar and Grill next door was a perfect pre-show stop for burgers, sandwiches, salads, etc. The burgers were top notch and the service was fast and friendly.
Dine in any of the eateries on Restaurant Row on La Cienega, one block west of the theater.
If street parking isn't available, park in any of the office buildings for $10.

There is street parking, but for $9 (or so) you can park in a local parking lot. Its really worth the money rather than looking for parking and the chance of parking in the wrong area because you don't have a sticker to park and getting a ticket.

Lots of restaurants in Beverly Hills to eat before the concert at the Saban. We ate at the new Spaghettini which was great.

Be careful to check where your seats are located at the Saban Theatre. I did not notice that our seats were upstairs in the balcony. I have trouble going up stairs. I contacted Goldstar by email when I noticed this and was told there was no more available seats but would refund the cost of my tickets. There was no way I could do that since I already was in the Styx frame of mind. I took it very carefully up and down the stairs to the balcony. I will not do that again. If you have trouble going up stairs, double-check that you are not seated in the balcony. The view from the balcony is excellent so if you can brave the stairs, go for it!

Happy Hour before the concert at "Nirvana" down the street on Wilshire was amazing, best part of the night.
Don't buy balcony seating here. You won't be able to see a thing.
Parking is $10 cash only in the lot on the street west of the theater. There was a big sign saying "theater parking". Alternatively, find a metered spot on the street. And, lastly, check the theater website for more options on where to park.
Very Important note: Bring Binoculars or else you will not be able to see the stage, especially from the balcony!
I wore Very nice theater with elegant lobby with bar and more. Dress up and mingle!.
Nice bar/grill next door with fast, event menu. Not much else close by.
side streets require a permit...parking garage ($10) is a half block up street... good coffee shop one block up...
Eat next door at the Hill Top restaurant! Great drinks and food for before or after the show.
The weather was Good. I wore My Biggie Smalls print hip hop shirt, black bubble vest, WorldStar Hip Hop baseball cap. It was a Hip Hop show Man so I dressed the part. So should you when you got to certain events. I saw a cat in a church type suit gray Really? Cmon Man.
