It shows that my tickets were in Austin and now in Tolleson, AZ.  UPS, wtf?  I live in between those two. 

Don't worry about it.. geez 

You take care of you. I need to sell and ship them still. Can no longer go. Time matters.
Geez.

I'm the same as you as I NEED the tickets here ASAP so I can sell. I can't go either.

But, I have a bad feeling because I got them on StubHub(3-day ticket was just under Face Value) and I have NO clue when I'll get them. Anyone ever get them with StubHub? If so, do you know when you got them? I'd hate to have to eat the cost.

Stubhub purchases are shipped by the actual seller, so the ship date is different for all sellers.

Contact SH, they can always reach out to the seller for an update.

So if one wants to try their luck getting in for under face, they should go hang out at the gate and look for extra tickets and not bother with StubHub?
Does the Ohana exchange ever drop below face or is it minimum face value?  I bought tickets off the Ohana exchange in 2021 and thought I picked up my wristband on site, although I may not be remembering correctly.

There might be a StubHub wristband pickup location near the event, that might be easier. The fan-to-fan exchange does not go above or below face value.

I don't think that's true for Ohana. 

Last year and the year before there were drops closer to the date as unsold listings piled up and people got motivated to sell. 

It's not through F2F.

I tried selling my extra on the F2F exchange in 2021 and it would not go below face.

Anyone have experience with the GA bleachers? This will be our 5th or 6th Ohana and we've always crammed up close or stood on the road behind the lawn. Since it's usually just my husband and I, it can be difficult to find each other again when one person stays to hold the spot and the other one goes all the way over to the porta-potties. Wondering if it's worth posting up in the bleachers so we have somewhere to reconvene when one of us takes off for a bit. We usually come in later in the day and listen to the first few bands from the beach so by the time we get in, it's already fairly crowded (not that it's ever too crazy!)

We like to stand and rock out so if the bleachers have people sitting in them during PJ, that definitely won't be our spot. If everyone's on their feet (or won't yell at us for being on ours) we might check it out. Also, I'm short so no matter where we are, I can't usually see unless I bob around a lot so I'm thinking the bleachers might give us a better view of the stage, albeit further away.

Anyway, interested in hearing people's experiences back there!

We sat there the first year (2016 -- time flies!) and it was nice; people were sitting, though. Crowds definitely pack in later in the day as more people show up, like you do.

I have only done it once, in 2021. But we went in early. Put a blanket in front of the soundboard, and chilled most of the day. The soundboard was our beacon. I think my buddy took a nap at one point. Around 6 pm it started getting crowded and it was much harder to move around. Wish I was going this year, it is a fun event.

My envelope came in the mail opened. Just a single 3-Day pass band and cardboard for activation. Am I missing anything?

If you ordered two passes, then yes, you’re missing one.

I can't believe there are rooms available at the Marriott next to the festival grounds. $640/night though. About $1000 more for three nights then I currently have booked in San Clemente but being able to walk to the festival is tempting.

How are you planning to go back to San Clemente?

I was struggling with that but ended up getting shuttle passes. I like to know exactly where I'm going.

It looks so barren when I tried to google. Is anything else cool playing in Los Angeles end of September, Early October? No Paul McCartney or Taylor Swift or Nine Inch Nails or anything?

My Morning Jacket plays the south. Kings of Leon the east I think

I know Paul Weller and James & Johnny Marr are in the area for sure.

It's a great time to visit the area because both the marine layer (fog and gray gloom) and most tourists are gone. It's "locals' summer." You can go kayaking, parasailing, hiking. Visit museums (in LA, the Getty is amazing!), hit up some great restaurants. Go to Disneyland, if you're a masochist (I kid, sort of).

Southern California is massive, with millions of people, a variety of climates and ecosystems, and endless things to do.

Excitement is growing.  Got my tickets and lucked in to a hotel that is across the street from the festival.  Staying at The Hilton Garden Inn Dana Point Doheny Beach.  This will be my very first Ohana Festival.  Can't wait

Oh. I missed those... But I guess I still can walk/run the 7 miles.

EDIT: Wait, how do you know the stops of the shuttle?

I'm not going to Disneyland (or Universal studios SUPER MARIO BROS LAAAAAND) by myself like some god damn serial killer.

But I have some stuff lined up. And can always do some work while Im there at some café.

Paul Weller and Johnny Marr isn't really my thing (and most things are my thing), but will check it out.

There are no stops...it's just a pickup point where you park and it takes you directly to the festival and back

Glen plays again in LA on the 29th. And The Cult. 

Might go to one of those.

Also going to a showing of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. 50 YEARS THIS YEAR!

Do VIP tix include a shuttle pass? I just happened to notice that it is included on the VIP Defender tix but wasn't sure if that applied to ALL VIP?
