Two great music venues, The Greek Theatre and Gibson Ampitheatre, are paired up to offer concert-goers options to make seeing live shows an even greater experience. It's called Premiere Marquee Club, and they offer premiums to members who purchase tickets to multiple events from a selection of shows* between the two venues. Their annual concert subscription program, which was supposed to end today, was just extended 'til 10 p.m. Friday. Starting now LAist is giving away a Silver Level Membership! This means that our winner will be able to customize their own 3-show VIP concert package from the list of available shows*. Premiere Marquee Club members get benefits all summer long at both award-winning venues such as retail and restaurant discounts, a dedicated concession line, guaranteed seating at both venues for ALL shows, and much more!

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
