    Anyone receive an email for shuttle passes yet?
    I did not receive an email about the shuttle pass, but I was able to login to the Front Gate site (linked in the confirmation email) and see the pass and add it to my digital wallet today.

    The shuttles move pretty quickly. My move has always been to start walking towards to exit when the guys are playing Rocking or YLed. You can still see the stage a majority of the walk. They usually have six busses ready to roll but after that the wait could get a bit long as youre waiting for them all to return.

    That's the problem - I never got a receipt email, though the charge did hit my CC.  

    I wouldn't be so worried about the walk, but I'll have my kid with me and there's a very good chance she'll be too tired to walk up the hill and I ain't carrying her.

    Crisis averted - they got back to me with my receipt and I was able to retrieve them.

    For those looking (or trying to sell), I just bought 2 3-day passes for the price of Sunday only. Planning to go Fri-Sun, so the math checks out.
    Wrote so that's 6 days for price of 2? Hope thats legit!
    No, meant that I bought my 3 day passes for about the price I see for just Sunday on Stubhub. The only reason to buy Sunday only passes is if you are... only going Sunday. If you are doing Fri+Sun, buy the 3 day.

    One more question from an Ohana rookie. Do they do any outside the gate merch sales, or day before merch sales, or is it within the fest only? Thanks

    last time i went in '21 there was a booth outside the gates.
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    Yes outside but line less inside usually.... not until Friday. Don't stress about merch though, there is always plenty.

    mrtsurt announced today that there would be early merch sales starting at 10 am. 


    Pearl Jam in Dana Point California this weekend @theohanafest Early Merch opens at 10am on Friday.

    Whoops super late to the show here, should have finished reading the thread. 

    Agreed with gotthebottle, there always seems to be enough.

    what are the prices for food?

    Food pricing wasn't too bad the few years I went. It's always OK stuff. I wish they'd bring in better vendors IMO. 

    Here is the move, grab merch outside if you're staying nearby, take it back to your hotel. Then go to Apizza Doho OR Vibee, they've both within walking distance of the festival.

    Be ready for $15 cans of beer though....they WILL stop people from entering with bags that aren't approved. Clear only unless small size. That being said a few get through but if you don't want to go all the way back to car or throw out the tote, don't try to sneak it in. Food prices aren't as horrible as alcohol prices.

    Food has been ridiculously expensive the past couple of years.

    I jumped on the waitlist for Sunday. Turns out my daughter has fall break next week, so we're in less of a rush to get back. Hope you manage to land Sunday tix.

    But if I buy a Glen Hanserd tshir do I have to carry it in my hand like a peasent all day then? Hmm. Outside merch would be tough. I live 10 kilometres away. well well. 

    Or what does ”clear” means? I can bring a clear plastic bag?

    Last time I went in 2021 a clear shoulder bag made things easier. Security appreciated the clear bag and really did not look too closely. The drinks onsite were weak and expensive. I was able to have a few Tito's nips hidden in the bag.

    Anyone have a parking tip within reasonable walking distance? Hoping to get there early afternoon but have no idea what’s allowed or enforced. Appreciate any messages. Thanks.
