The Novo

Saw Giveon here. Seats have a great view from every location. Love this venue!

Amazing sound system! I wish they didn't push it so loud (earplugs required) but unlike other venues, the speakers could handle the power without distortion. The main floor is VIP but not much further back is GA. A friend got me into VIP but I would have been happy with GA too.

Big, nice modern venue, but definitely with some downsides. The biggest one is the pit situation for GA shows. If it's a sold out show, unless you're literally one of the first in line (so BEFORE the doors open), you will NOT be able to get into the pit. They distribute wristbands to the first chunk of fans who get in, and they run out of wristbands right away. Everyone else is stuck way on the periphery, far from the stage, on the other side of a totally useless railing - even if you have a GA Floor ticket. You can go for the balcony instead, but that's a separate ticket and there are all seats up there. The other downside is the parking. Good luck if you're coming on the same day as a game at the Crypto.com arena, which is right next door. You might get lucky at the LA Live structure but it'll cost you $30 on game nights. Keep in mind the train station isn't far away so maybe look into that. Security was fine. Service at the bar was fast, but a double drink cost 27 dollars and even so I didn't even taste any alcohol.
