All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.
Said I wasn't going to fly across country for a festival setting...and here we are.
Did VIP. Didnt have much time to look into this. I see they have bleachers for VIP, and based on the map, there is some room to get closer in the VIP sidstage? Anyone do this in past years? Good and bad?
Cautionary tale. Keen disappointment here following a major fail at the Frontgate Tickets website. I snagged two (2) for Encore weekend with my Ten Club code and was then prompted to create an account at Frontgate. When I did, POOF!!, tickets no longer in my cart and the code was tagged as "invalid," likely because I had already "used" it. Errr! Avoid the same. First sign on, then select tickets.

I've posted about this up-thread I think. The main benefit to VIP, for me, is having shaded, more comfortable places to rest my 50+ year-old bones during the day. If you want to be "on the rail" hoping to get a swig of Ed's wine, you need to be camped out in GA. The "rail" in VIP is off to the side and is not a front-row experience.
Edit to add that you are free to roam throughout the venue with VIP passes, but I imagine that holding a spot on the rail in GA requires putting in the time throughout the day just as it would elsewhere. There is no "VIP pit" per se.

Why no presale email?? I literally live walking distance to the venue and didn't get a presale code. Guessing it's sold out by now.
Check "all" including your spam for Ten Club, or Pearl Jam. Mine was under the latter.

For people that live south of the Big Sur how far is far enough for a drive?
Does anyone have any idea what VIP entails. Pretty expensive, but considering I'm down to 10 concerts this year instead of the 20-25 that I normally average, it might be worth the splurge. That said, the Ohana site and Front Gate Tickets suck at explaining what VIP entails. If it's just a comfy area, but no viewing areas up against or very close to the stage, it's not really worth it. To me, VIP is more about closeness to the stage as opposed to the availability of kale smoothies and quinoa pizza. Anyone experience Ohana VIP and can offer some insight? Thanks.
Everyone thinks VIP gives them special access to the front. It does not. I have done VIP and other than cleaner bathrooms, color me not impressed.
The viewing is actually worse than GA.
Pretty much what I thought... thanks for confirming, as close-up viewing is my only reason for ever considering VIP... got on the GA barricades for U2, Metallica and others by doing early entry or separate area VIP, but sounds like this one isn't that. Much appreciated... I'm passing on this and waiting for them to reschedule my Denver show

I’m in for the Saturday show! Coming from Sacramento. No idea how I’m getting down (drive/fly) or where I’m staying. Never bought tickets like this before, usually a master planner but this one came out of nowhere. See you all there!

I'm not understanding your question. Are you wanting to plan road trips while in SoCal? Or are you wondering if you can drive in each day instead of getting a hotel room?
If you've never been to California before, I'd start by saying that it's *much* larger than you think it is. Staying in Big Sur and driving to Ohana each day is not do-able by the time you got to Big Sur from Dana Point, you would need to turn around and drive back for the next day.

Thanks! Thats actually ok. I have no desire to do all day wait for this and dont expect rail or anything BUT that off to side VIP area. I know its a hard angle, will still allow a good view, I'd like to hope. Guess Ill see how it looks when I get there.

Sorry I was typing fast. We plan on doing road trips likely in the week between the festivals if I can get work off. Just wondering how close to San Fran I really need to go going north on the scenic route. Is there a usual turnaround place for most people? We have a hotel booked close to the venue thanks!
Why no presale email?? I literally live walking distance to the venue and didn't get a presale code. Guessing it's sold out by now.
It came directly from Ten Club yesterday - still tickets left if you have a code. All codes unique and single use.
Wow, what a bummer. Why no email for a show right at my local surf spot I have no idea but that $20 membership is looking like a huge waste now. I guess I'll just listen from my house.
