    You think their Ohana set will be less than 2hrs? EV last set was 2hrs. I am hoping for 2hrs 30 mins for all 3. 10pm curfew is killer.

    I mean, I don't ask for much...
    Anywho, I'm willing to volunteer at Ohana at this point to check vax cards. Just give me food & beer, and a decent spot to watch the boys.

    my guess is standard 2 hour slot weekend 1,  2.5-3 hr slots weekend 2.

    Ohana has been famously on-time every year.....and 2 hours will be plenty....and we're glad to have it.

    Unless Rodman is in the house, then they sometimes come out late and we get shorter set ;)

    Hoping somehow for 2.5 hour set for this weekend, but odds are it is 2 hours. Even though I like Gigaton alot, I hope for this show only they don't play a ton of it. 4-5 songs.
    Anyways, if I get to cross the border and be there I will be so excited for anything it won't matter.

    Anyone heard anything regarding refunds given the travel ban? I can’t be the only one who was hoping to attend from the UK. Hoping they will offer refunds given the circumstances. Emailed a while ago now but heard nothing.

    We've a flight booked from Dublin Matt & still hanging on to the feint hope that they will open the borders, so I haven't investigated the possibility of a refund yet. I'm going to make a few enquiries this weekend because I'm becoming less & less optimistic that we are going to get to go.

    I hope you guys can make it but if it was me I would be I would do a couple of things right now. 

    Email Frontgate everyday I can until I get a response. There is also a phone number that I doubt works. 888-512-SHOW

    https://frontgate.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

    I would ask for a refund and hope they give you one. If the do not give refunds see if they will transfer the name over. Maybe you could hook up with someone here and have them have their name on it for will call pickup.  Then if travel allows I would re-buy from here or on the exchange. 

    In the meantime put your tickets up on the exchange and hopefully you can get your money back.

    I'd be very happy with 2 hour sets. Eddie hasn't done more than 90 minutes at the Ohana fest prior years that I can recall.  I agree with consensus here that encore weekend may have longer sets.  I am excited to hear a handful of tracks from Gigaton and think they'll spread it out with 5 or 6 each show.  Comes then Goes is the one I want to hear the most.

    I think it was in another thread, and I apologize for the redundancy, but we determine the best airport to fly into from a proximity, ease, etc.  Thanks in advance.

    I think it really depends on where you're coming from and where you're staying, and if you're renting a car or planning to use Uber. John Wayne is closest and makes most sense in general, especially if you're staying in OC north of, say, San Juan Capistrano (that's most of OC, LOL).

    If you're coming from New England, Alaska has a non-stop from Boston to San Diego, which I've mentioned before and which I've taken many times.

    Long Beach and Ontario -- I don't know how many flights will be available through there, I've never really looked. LAX will have the most options, but depending on when you're coming in it might NOT be more convenient than San Diego. Expect to pay $$$$ if you're thinking of taking Uber/Lyft from LAX or San Diego to Dana Point (so a more expensive plane ticket to John Wayne might cost you less in the long run).

    There's also the matter of traffic. San Diego County traffic should be lighter than LA, but there's really just one way (I-5) to get to OC from San Diego, and if there's an accident, yikes. Otherwise the worst traffic you'd encounter in SD going north would be rush hour from Del Mar to Carlsbad or so, in the 4-6 time frame.

    I'm coming in to John Wayne and renting a vehicle.  Hotel booked for San Clemente Sat/Sun and then Fri/Sat....still trying to figure out what to do/where to stay Mon through Thurs.  Was thinking about hitting up Hollywood for a day, Malibu, maybe hit Joshua Tree.

    Any suggestions?

    That's a lot of driving.

    What I keep telling people who never have been to California: it's a lot bigger than you think it is.

    I suggest choosing a direction (north, south, east) -- there will be plenty to do regardless.

    I'll put in a plug for San Diego, since in September it should be really nice ("locals' summer") and most tourists will be gone.

    There are awesome beaches -- flat and family-friendly (Coronado) or rugged and isolated (Torrey Pines/ Blacks Beach (clothing-optional) ).

    There's Balboa Park, which features the SD Zoo and a number of other museums, and there's also the Safari Park (formerly Wild Animal Park) north of town in Escondido).

    It looks like the Padres are in LA that week, otherwise I'd recommend a ball game; Petco Park is great!

    The Rady Shell (outdoor music venue) just opened, and it is lovely. Two concerts during that week, Bobby McFerrin and Pat Metheny: https://www.theshell.org/performances/list/ 

    There also is plenty of hiking -- with a variety of elevations!  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuyamaca_Peak   -- and great places to eat. (There's also Legoland and Sea World, but if you are not traveling with kids I'd avoid those.)

    thanks...we were thinking about going to Dodger stadium one of those nights.

    is Hollywood worth visiting?  Not sure what we would do other than gawk at the sign, Griffith Observatory, etc.

    Would you suggest a north side visit or south?  

    If south...Tijuana worth a day trip?
