    Is there any info about shuttle busses, park and rides etc?

    I've a hotel in San Clemente and Newport Beach that are cancelable - I'm leaning toward San Clemente but it just seems a nightmare getting to and from the shows, we will have a car but I feel like if someone rented a bus and charged 20 bucks a head and just did rides from Dana Point to downtown San Clemente they'd make a mint, as its a short drive lol
    It's easy from DP to SC... not a nightmare at all
    Looks like it isn't walkable so I'd need to drive and hope to get parking with a 30 min walk, which I've heard can be a challenge!

    Or uber in and out? No idea how much that would cost though? I'm sure immediately after the show it'd be lots, but if we waited it out an hour or two at a nearby bar, would it be affordable? Like 30 bucks? Or am I way off?

    I heard the uber system has gotten better since I was last at at Ohana in 2021. But yes, wait an hour and the availability is better and the prices should go down.

    I always find parking the trick is you just have to go early...i go eat at a local place before going in. Uber isn't such a big deal if you're patient.

    do you mean you eat at a local place and park there for the night?

    I'm trying to figure out how Ralph's would even know I was usurping a spot from them.

    No..I drive up from San Diego and park in the local area I know... eat.. walk in to festival. Driving home after Friday. Or might stay with family in OC.
    Ralphs will know because they have people watching... but hey.. go for it and don't cry when your car is gone.

    I keep getting that warning so I think I'll follow that advice lol.

    Do you park in the hilly residential area? We did that in 2021. Not bad just a brutal walk when it's all over.

    I have... also along PCH ... walk no biggie... but Ralphs absolutely has spotters in the lot and if they see you walk away and not come back they tow...I know some who had cars towed... and I go every year and have my usual parking spots in mind already.

    Does anyone know if there is a cancel option on the layaway plan? I have 1 payment left and I thought I recall someone telling me at one of the Seattle shows this year there was an option to cancel for a $50 fee if you cancel prior to the last layaway payment.

    Has anyone in here had luck with canceling and getting a refund? Does anyone remember the original terms after the original onsale stating you could cancel for a fee?
