Last verified: January 15, 2025 · How we verify
Official websiteThe Wiltern is a theater with a capacity of 1,850 located in Los Angeles, CA. The theater hosts concerts, sporting events, and major productions throughout the year.
The Wiltern has a relatively open bag policy — clear bags are not required, and most soft-sided bags are permitted as long as they comply with size guidelines. All bags are subject to inspection at entry. Arrive a few minutes early to allow time for bag inspection at the security checkpoint. Keeping your bag organized with essential items on top speeds up the process. Locker or bag storage is available at The Wiltern if you need to stow a larger bag.
