    Here's the Ride Sharing / Taxi pickup area.
    Thank you for this!  Though I live in LA, I'll be Ubering there and home.

    One thing I want to mention to those of you flying in to LA International(LAX), if you plan to take an Uber/Lyft/Taxi upon flight arrival to LAX to a hotel or elsewhere, LAX has a cockamamie setup that you need to be aware of.  No curbside Uber/Lyft/Taxi when you get out of the baggage area.  You need to take a specific green bus that will take you to a special area(lot) which is a staging area for Uber/Lyft/Taxi.  Once you get to that lot, then you line up.  This scheme is called LAX-IT.  Research this in advance so you know what to expect.  It was 1st implemented last October.  Didn't go well, they made adjustments and I'm not sure if it is better or not.  There isn't a lot of signage and when I arrive home into LAX, I see tons of confused people who don't know what the hell to do.  So they ask parking shuttle drivers, etc., and slows them down.  Trust me, do your research before you arrive.  When you leave LA, Uber/Lyft/Taxi can drop you off at the terminals like at normal airports.  Black cars (limos) exempt from the LAX-IT lot/rules.
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    Wow, that sounds really ugly. Makes me glad I got a hotel with it's own airport shuttle.

    Which I've just learned, hotel shuttles are only available on the Departures level, so when arriving in LA, you need to go up to the Departures level to catch your hotel shuttle.

    I'm in for both LA shows too, still looking at travel options.  Staying in Corona with friends, so not close to Forum.  We still need to figure out transportation options. Thanks for the info on the Uber arena areas.  
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    Anyone know if this is set up is the for other shuttles or if I book a ride through my hotel. Is there anywhere to hang near the venue before the show?

    Both LA shows here. Driving down and staying near lax. Hotels are relatively cheap. Hopefully the crowd is a little better than 2013 n2 at the sports arena or the TOtD show.

    The short answer to your second question is no. The area around the forum is going through a massive phase of redevelopment with the new football stadium being built. Once the stadium is open, there will be a ton of new options, but not now. I’d recommend hanging around the airport - nothing special, hotel bars, etc. but it’s close and less risk of traffic.

    Wife and I are flying in from Chicago for both shows. Can't wait. Was thinking of getting a hotel in Hermosa Beach...is that a decent choice?

    Looking forward to seeing PJ at the Forum!  Ever since the remodeling the sound quality of the shows I have seen there (Rush, Elton John, U2) have been stellar

    I am staying at the LAX Marriott. Great hotel. Newly renovated. Nice rooms, bar, pool. Close to Forum as stated above. If you’re just in town for the shows perfect spot. Renaissance around the corner is good too.

    Pretty quick Uber’s to Manhattan, Hermosa, Redondo.
