    It's important that each side focuses on the big picture, what's best for the merchandise.  Too often these devolve into petty squabbling about things that are unimportant.  Good for you guys. 
    We somehow manage to make it work.

    prices are getting crazy.  $500 for a 3 day GA with how expensive hotels are make it a non-starter for us.  glad we went in '21 though and it was a blast.
    Yup. We had a great time at the first weekend in 2021. We arrived a couple of days early and went to San Diego, then drove in and stayed in Laguna Hills. (by the way, quickish drive into Ohana every day - 15/20 minutes? Then park on one of the side streets and walk right in. Hotels are cheaper, too.)

    Who knows, we may end up going...but I doubt it. I hope everyone that's going has a blast!
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    I am sure I could work out an agreement with my wife for joint custody. We could switch them periodically from the room I listen to records in and the living room. 
    Open communication is important, and always keep in mind what’s best for the merch and sometimes you may have to set your own needs aside.

    I'd do it for $5k. Ten is a bit much, IMO.

    Same. $5K would be a solid value IMO. Ten -- it's a lot to spend on a three-day vacation. Two VIP passes = $3K; hotel = $1K Merch = $100- 150 (we don't buy much); Food = probably $300. The "Butter" wines they have give me massive headaches, so our alcohol bill will be minimal. So another $5K to stay within walking distance and autographed album/poster. And re-entry, which is a nice perk.

    I wish the VIP was a bit cheaper too. I really didn't totally think about doing this this year but just really love the lineup and my wife actually likes it too. So we thought what the heck? And then of course the hotels are sold out. So just because why not I got the Waldorf. It plus the tickets comes to about $5,000. That's a lot, but for kind of a splurge why not vacation to a kind of cool spot and lineup, we'll see. Got a cheaper hotel at much less rate that we will debate on transportation and other logistics as it gets close. 

    It is obviously a little more of a walk but it isn't terrible. So is the $400 of merch/food, the access and the Eddie Vedder signed merch worth the extra five grand? If I had unlimited money, sure. But it is a lot. If it was even like $7,500 I'd think about it.

    Plus, if PJ really tours, I can't not go to at least one show. So hard to justify it.

    PJ dates leaking makes me want to save part of my travel budget for Chicago, etc. We’ll see, much to discuss tonight!

    Also — yeah I know people who did the ultimate VIP a few years ago; they are older and have a lot more money than we do, and for them I think it was a no-brainer. I’m not there yet.

    I thought I had much to discuss tonight, but then just went for it. I really dig this lineup and just enjoyed the crap out of Ohana when we went to Encore.

    I will not be able to avoid at least one PJ show, and some of the dates are right around my birthday, but I may need to go solo if we splurge on Ohana. My wife, who has humored me by traveling far and wide to see Pearl Jam, really would rather go to this Ohana (and funny enough, I think she likes Eddie Vedder solo more than PJ as a band). So it's probably a win, win!

    That's really unlikely to happen that time of year. September and October are "locals' summer."

    We stayed in San Clemente and really liked it. Long walk though. I know some people biked it but that might not be the best at night.
    Did you try to get an Uber but couldn't?  I've considered San Clemente but was worried about the Uber situation.  We ended up staying at the Waldorf which is the other way.  Walked about two blocks and then got an Uber pretty easily back to the hotel.

    I’ve stayed in San Juan Capistrano and had no issue with Uber.

    After the show?  You were able to get an uber quickly?
