We have the whole trip booked now and I am more optimistic then ever with the border opening up in time. Flying into LAX on the 22nd. Staying a night in Malibu, then a night in Laguna beach and then 3 nights a mile south of the fest (thanks Chitty!) 

If anyone has any recommendations on restaurants, beaches or hikes in those areas I would love to hear it. We have a rental car but would prefer to stay on the coast.

el adobe de Capistrano is a solid Mexican restaurant and has an interesting local history...it was Richard Nixon's favorite place to eat when he stayed at the "Western Whitehouse"...it also is believed to be haunted...the wine cellar is a former jail cell and I believe that is the room the ghost "haunts"

Thanks for all the advice everyone. I will check them all out today!

Might try to make this work.  I dont enjoy Kings of Leon and all, but near Joshua Tree could be nice to see

Wow, that is out there. Love Modest Mouse though.

Kings of Leon play the songs EXACTLY like they sound on the record. It is uncanny. Seen them twice at various festivals and can take it or leave it. 

Ooops, meant to say I *do* enjoy KOL, but you're right they're pretty close to the album versions.  

Probably a good chance of this

I was there and well worth sitting through their set.  I can only hope we get that at Ohana.  Simply awesome.

Hell yes - this was amazing / loved Kings set at Lolla that year but this made it even better.  I was at ACL a couple years later too and both bands played with same EV cameo - so I'd put my money on EV joining them at his festival.  I never thought I'd say this but I want summer over so September is here!! CAN'T WAIT!!

I'm in Austin, so no judgement from me on wanting to skip summer

A few recs:
Malibu Seafood has some of the best fish & chips you'll ever have, plus it's BYOB and has outdoor seating with ocean views
Malibu Wines is a fun way to spend a few hours 
Definitely worth it to drive through Pepperdine and check out the campus/views. It's gated, but just tell the guard you have a son/daughter/niece/nephew who is thinking about going there and you want to drive around and take some pictures for them 
Dont know if you surf, but if you do, rent a board...if not, take a lesson!
If you are looking to break up the drive from Malibu to Laguna, Panxa Cocina in Long Beach is a fantastic Mexican fusion place

On another note, any NFL fans looking to meet up to watch the early games on Sunday? Go Browns!!

Four beautiful words now associated with my order that I placed late last year:  Layaway paid in full!

Lots of fake accounts on the Facebook groups and other social media sites.  No one imo should be sending any money to strangers imo with the ticket exchange being up and an option. I hate the fees but unless you have references from sellers I would pay the fees every time rather than risk losing money. Time it with someone on the exchange and if they back out you know it was no good anyways.

the truth. it's better to pay the fees and tickets are good. you can sleep better knowing tickets are legit.

They all follow the same script.  None of them will use stubhub or the exchange.  It’s either that those sites won’t let them post or that they just prefer facebook/instagram because they “were successful”.  I’m sure they were successful but not the victim who just got scammed for hundreds of dollars.  Having said that, I really need a Sunday GA.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

If it is too good to be true, it probably is.  I have not seen a stubhub or TM 3 day ticket for less than about $1200 and Sunday tickets are going for about $800. Still plenty of time for prices to come down depending on travel situations.  I wanted to make sure I have legit tickets so I bought through the ticket exchange. Keep in mind that there is a HEFTY fee attached to each ticket when you buy through TM exchange. $314 in fees for the two tickets I bought through the exchange.

I'm surprised at some of the 3 day Stubhub and TM exchange prices...you can still buy the 3 day charity platinum from TM for $1250+225.

I have a buddy looking for a Sunday or 3 day (and he'd sell his Fri/Sat), so I've been watching the TM exchange site periodically for him. I've only seen 2 3-day passes for sale under $1000. One was $575 and the other was around $850. I texted him immediately, but they were gone pretty quick.

Just a heads up you likely wouldn’t be able to sell Fri/Sat of a 3-day. Weekend passes are a single wristband that you wear all three days. Not saying it’s impossible, but you would likely need somebody you know and could trust to get you that wristband back for Sunday.

I meant that if he found a 3-day, he would sell his Friday and Saturday single day tickets. Sorry for the confusion

Gotcha. Sorry for misunderstanding.
