Ohana 2022?

You can take a bus from LAX to downtown union station, then take the train to San Juan Capistrano (1 hr 20 min. $12.50 one way), then you're 5 miles from Dana Point for a taxi, a long walk, or a folding bike ride.

That really only works if you have minimal stuff. Add a suitcase and a bag and that "long walk or folding bike ride" gets a lot more complicated. Also, getting home AFTER the show has to happen too, and to the degree there are bikes and all, pretty sure not enough for all who'd want them, just like never enough Lyfts/Ubers, cabs for all who want them when everyone is leaving at once.

These are typical festival challenges although the harder it is to get onsite, the more complicated the logistics are.

Not complaining about it, just explaining that it's all part of the calculation for each individual on what is worth the effort/cost, and what maybe isn't.

I think the concept of Encore weekend is inconsiderate . While no one is being forced to go either weekend, it seems like it does the fan a disservice.

Why not just make Ohana a 2 weekend festival, which would be easier to plan for?

Why all the secrecy about the upcoming Encore weekend, instead of confirming it, which would be easier to plan for?

What if someone wants to attend both weekends, but only allotted vacation time for one, based on the super slow, too cutesy, will they/won't they info rollout?

What if someone with limited funds likes the Encore lineup better, but already blew their cash and/or paid leave on the first weekend?

What if someone wishes to attend Encore, but is no longer able to select vacation dates, due to the super slow info rollout?

All valid points. However they simply will sell as much Ohana as they can before announcing Encore. Just like they always sell Europe before announcing NA. It’s a business and it’s all about optimizing revenue. As a fan sometimes we have to make decisions with imperfect info.

Monday I had no intention of going. This morning I bought tickets and airfare (I sprung for first class since it was relatively cheap). Funny how quickly things change.

My wife is not really a fan of concerts in general, so we are flying first class and staying at the Waldorf. That's what it takes...

Encore had its issues for a few reasons:
- Small window to announce & plan, well after most people made travel plans for the first weekend
- Crazy expensive to stay near it for the touring fans, and alternative lodging (shuttle busses, rideshare) wasn't too convenient
- Still riding out what we thought was the end of Covid (pre-omicron)
- Already had PJ the first weekend, less incentive to spend another $300 weekend pass for two more fest-length sets
- Fanbase still didn't know how quick 2020 rescheduled dates would come, fest might not be their thing

I know I broke the bank to figure out how to do both weekends, and would've been completely content with doing just one. If they announce anything during the spring vs mid-summer I'll likely come in for Encore (regardless of lineup) as the first weekend doesn't line up with my schedule.

I feel your pain my man! If I’m traveling solo to a show, I can usually do it fairly on the cheap since I don’t really require all that much.

However whenever the wife is in tow, it’s a completely different ballgame. Case in point, I locked up a room at the Westin once the new Vegas date was announced in the event I won the ticket lottery. I win the lottery & secure two reserved seats and think I’m golden. That’s until the wife ask where we’re staying at while there. 😂🤣

Long story short, we’re now booked at the Cosmo for our stay and taking a small 30 seat commuter jet to Vegas (JSX.com if anyone is interested). 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

They should just focus on making one Ohana weekend the best it can be. The idea of the encore was a cool one off thing, but to keep it up is a little silly to me

CROJAM95 · April 2022

Yea, Encore to me was because 2020 was cancelled

Don’t know if it will or won’t happen again, but I’m not buying tix til I see the big picture

if they sell out, I’ll get in for cheaper anyway

Ohana 2018 - $106 single day pass
Ohana 2022 - $196 single day pass

Almost double. Kinda ridiculous!

The_Giant_Midget · April 2022

The problem is the festival organizers said they wanted to expand this festival + they did an encore last year. Combine that with Stone’s comments, the vendors apparently booking that weekend and the other social media clues it kind of creates a mess. That being said I hope it happens

I believe that last year vip was
$1500
This year $1400 but only 1 complimentary alcohol beverage

Yeah I noticed that too. That's a crazy price hike.

matt84 · April 2022

I hope if Encore happens the announcement will come soon. Like others have said, people need to make plans in advance - getting time off work etc.

DEGBTI · April 2022

here's my take. Its clear people are asking on social media about an encore weekend. Why, because of comments made last year by the band and expectations of it happening again. So that being said, the 10 club, the band, people close with the band and most of all, Ohana themselves know if there is an encore. The fact that nobody has address it to shoot it down speaks volumes, its happening!.

Gotta do the right thing!

I don't mind paying first class for airfare. I'm 6' and 210lbs so flying coach is brutal cross country. The Waldorf bill is steep though. But she's pleased so...

Anyone do VIP in the past? Was it worth it? Some festivals the extra cost is worth it and some not so much. We have not been to Ohana so wondering if anyone has any insight into it? Thanks!

Not worth it... most of VIP end up in general area cause their view is so limited. I see so many of them wandering out

gotthebottle · April 2022

Being local to So Cal has its privileges and last year 2 PJ shows in 2 nights was it!
I have heard from many in the industry that shows are not planned for the fans that travel, but for the fans in the area.

Ohana 2022?
