    I was a late buyer too. I wasn't interested last year because I already had tickets to the Baltimore show. But with that still not rescheduled, Sea Hear Now seeming to be their first show back, and it only being a few hours away from my house, I had to grab some tix.

    Not to toot my own horn, but looking back on it, grabbing an AirBnB for this thing right after 2020's was cancelled was a genius move. Also never realized how close Asbury Park is to Philly. It's no different than driving to Sea Isle or Ocean City.  Toot toot.

    Still haven’t pulled the trigger… taking the gamble that this and Ohana aren’t the only dates this year. 

    C’mon northeast warmup dates!!

    Good article on Danny Clinch and his photography in today’s local paper.  He plays it close to the vest on the festival but his comments are encouraging…

    How can you expect anyone else to blow your horn if you are not willing to do it yourself?

    My genius move was buying 5 tix for $125 each during the early bird period before they announced the bands.

    You are correct, hell of a move. If I lived in Asbury Park I'd do the same.

    I wouldn’t have looked like a genius if I ended up with 5 tickets for Portugal. the Man 😂

    I’m not in Asbury but I’m probably 10 minutes door to door.

    More importantly - can I ride a bike from Belmar beach to the fest? Seems like the perfect ride.

    I grabbed a hotel as well last summer. I actually just checked to make sure the reservation was still good since I made the reservation in June 2020. I just got confirmation that my room is still reserved.

    Sorry… I guess I could have been more helpful with my answer =)

    Asbury Park is small… only 1 square mile.  There are no major parking lots on the east side of town near the beach. It’s all on street parking and a lot of that will be unavailable when they fence off the area near the beach for the festival.  There is a NJ transit train station in town. I saw the Foo Fighters there for the Bamboozle Festival in 2012 and it was a similar setup.  We parked on the street one town to the north and had like a 5 minute walk. But some of the surrounding towns have caught on and they put up temporary no parking signs to discourage it. The west side of Asbury Park is very sketchy in some parts and I don’t know that I would want to be walking back to my car over there late at night. All the towns surrounding Asbury Park are very safe.  Best bet might be to find a parking spot in a nearby town as close as you can get and then walk or call for an Uber.  Ocean Grove, Belmar, Avon, Ocean Twp, Loch Arbour, Interlaken and Allenhurst are all close and good bets.  Neptune near the Asbury border is an exception and is also a little sketchy. 

    Edit: Bradley Beach is also close and safe.

    Park at the target in Ocean. There is a huge complex there with ridiculous amounts of parking. they may tow, but who knows. I live in town so if anyone needs additional suggestions to on2legs let me know.

    Sorry… I guess I could have been more helpful with my answer =)

    Asbury Park is small… only 1 square mile.  There are no major parking lots on the east side of town near the beach. It’s all on street parking and a lot of that will be unavailable when they fence off the area near the beach for the festival.  There is a NJ transit train station in town. I saw the Foo Fighters there for the Bamboozle Festival in 2012 and it was a similar setup.  We parked on the street one town to the north and had like a 5 minute walk. But some of the surrounding towns have caught on and they put up temporary no parking signs to discourage it. The west side of Asbury Park is very sketchy in some parts and I don’t know that I would want to be walking back to my car over there late at night. All the towns surrounding Asbury Park are very safe.  Best bet might be to find a parking spot in a nearby town as close as you can get and then walk or call for an Uber.  Ocean Grove, Belmar, Avon, Ocean Twp, Loch Arbour, Interlaken and Allenhurst are all close and good bets.  Neptune near the Asbury border is an exception and is also a little sketchy. 

    Edit: Bradley Beach is also close and safe. 
    How is Neptune by the cluster of hotels near the 33 and Garden State Pkwy? Holiday Inn Express, Marriott Residence Inn, Etc.?
    The brand names should be ok. But 33 dive hotel I wouldn’t do.

    It’s fine and a short car ride to the festival.  Those hotels are in a business/retail corridor and not in a problem area.

    Also… go with name brand hotels.  Try to avoid the mom & pop motels.  They are dingy and attract a gritty crowd.
