    Hubby not keen on traveling for a festival...I'm bummed out...but seriously thinking of just going with a friend if he really won't go. Love him to bits but I've NEVER seen PJ so have to do something in 2011! What kind of money are we usually looking at for this? Average the travel to at least 1500 miles as I am on the east coast.
    Thanks for any info...gotta get there somehow :P

    I think Manchester, TN still sounds like a good idea.

    I bet you could do it for less than $1000.

    Say $300 for for your tickets if it's a 3 day thing
    $400 flight
    $300 food and split lodging

    Poconos would be good - its closer than Chicago.

    I hope it doesn't conflict with Lollapalooza. (Couldn't, if it was in Chicago though)

    I don't give a fuck if it's in hell, I'll be there! Of course, I'd prefer the Gorge..for what it's worth.

    The Gorge would be my choice as well. Magical. Just in summer can be a bit rough...but if we stay hydrated and watch out for each other. :D

    Well since Saskatchewan isn't in the middle of the USA, or in the USA for that matter I suppose this will be another PJ road trip. Red Rock Colorado would be cool!! Fairly central. See you all in 2011.

    Put aside $1000 and you should be good. I'm sure the ticket will be close to $100, air travel will probably be around $500.

    road trip it with 3 other fans in a four seater car and you can cut your travel costs way down. if you assume 3K miles round trip, that be like $350-400 in gas split 4 ways. that assumes you don't mind a good long drive. :lol: so $100 each

    5 hotel nights, two people per room is about $175 per person. i assumed like 75 bucks for a room. you can do better than this depeding on your tastes. we are staying in a 3.5 star place for like 70 per night on our vacation.

    tickets have been running about 75 per show, assume 3 nights and you have 225

    food & beer. $10-$50 per day or more depending on your tastes and drinking level. lets use 40, so thats 200

    souvieries. one poster and one t shirt. 65

    total cost: $765 for an average. go cheap and skip souvieniers and some food/beer and you could do it for $600

    Let the Alpine rumors officially begin...

    (middle of country, only really do weekend concerts there, etc)

    One can only hope! Crossing my fingers...

    This would be awesome. It has been WAY too long since the last Alpine show!

    I live in CT and I am hoping for Alpine Valley. I heard the place is great to see a show and flights to MI are pretty reasonable. Plus I can check off another state I saw a show in as I know it won't be in the East Coast.

    It is an awesome place to see a show with 40,000 other people, and you can get there nice and early and tailgate in the parking lot.
