Where to stay? Not specific hotels but areas? Looks like Inglewood is a no. Don’t mind being a bit away but don’t want Uber to cost me $200 either. Any insight on travel, hotels, Uber etc in that area in general is appreciated..

    I think most people are staying near the airport.  Atleast that's what I'm doing.

    Thanks! Any idea if there are cool places to hang out there? Not that it matters as I will be by myself:-)

    No idea.  I know there's a WishList party before each show.  Unfortunately its not within walking distance of the Forum.

    There are not. It's a weird, garbage part of LA. El Segundo is where the airport is, Inglewood is where the Forum is. Inglewood has notoriously high crime rates, El Segundo is kind of where all of the airline industry and military industrial complex offices are located. Nothing fun or particularly cool there.

    There's a thread in Given 2 Fly called "LA Hotels" where I made a bunch of recs of things to do and offered advice. It depends on what you want to do and how long you'll be here. It probably won't be a $200 Uber ride as long as you're still in LA, Hollywood, Downtown, etc. It just might be a long wait after the show. I'm coming from Silverlake and expect to pay probably $40 each way for an Uber.

    Haha. I’m like 90% there. Was just talking to car service. Rather pay the extra money than wait for Uber
