Which airport should I fly into and do I need a car?

John Wayne Airport-Orange County (SNA) is closest to the venue, with LAX, Ontario (ONT), and Long Beach (LGB) as alternatives. There is no airport shuttle, so rideshare, taxi, or commercial shuttle is recommended; given parking costs, public transit and rideshares may be preferable to renting a car.
