The Kia Forum on Manchester Boulevard in Inglewood is the round, columned arena that was the home of the Lakers and the Kings for decades. It now runs as a concert venue for about 17,500 people, and it sits in the same district as SoFi Stadium and the Intuit Dome.

Bus drop and pickup follow the venue's plan for each show, and the operator confirms the current curb before the date. The venue has its own surrounding lots, but coaches usually drop, stage nearby and return for an agreed pickup time.

Concert crowds arrive over a short window before the headliner, and the exit comes all at once. Pick one meeting point near the bus for after the show and tell the group the departure time, about 20 to 30 minutes after the encore.

Manchester Boulevard, Prairie Avenue and Century Boulevard carry all three venues' traffic. On nights when SoFi or the Intuit Dome also have events, Inglewood streets slow sharply, so leave earlier and allow extra time on the way out. The 405 and the 105 are the main approaches.

Pricing is one all-in number with driver, fuel, standard mileage and tolls. Most Forum concert nights run five to six hours door to door, and minibuses suit groups under 35.
