I just can't see forking over airfare and what is sure to be jacked up hotel prices for this. Only 7500 seats? Pretty good chance you could wind up on the lawn.

Not complaining and no offense to anyone who is going, but I think I am getting less enthused about this the more I know about it.

I'm right there with you. I think there are too many logistical issues for this venue, even if it does look beautiful. Hoping there are shows in Western Canada or Western US because our plan is to see the band each year for as long as we can and those are places I would love to visit.

Seems as if any non-stadium venue that holds 40k people would have logistical issues.

Yeah, I don't know. May just hold out and see if there a nice LA or San Diego show in this whole "West Coast" rumor.

But I have been known to change my mind 100 times before finally deciding on something for sure.

I do know it gets old having to travel so far.

I'm actually kinda excited if its Alpine. I just looked at flights and getting into Milwaukee is hella cheap. Even for Labor Day weekend. I might be able to swing this.

I'll print up Keno-type cards with all of their song titles.....people will have to guess the setlist

Just don't assume that ticket prices are going to be what you normally are used to. At least not for the seated section.

Will somebody spare me having to read through this entire thread and tell me the percentage chance that this happening at Alpine Valley and when it might happen? Just give it to me straight, doc...

I'm not too worried about that. Even if it's 200+, it will still work if I can get a 199 roundtrip airfare like I can now.

You know what why would PJ hold this in a venue where they can't secure all of the seats knowing how many fans will wan't them, if this is a celebration of 20yrs of them being a band and of us supporting them all this time shouldn't this be about them given back to us a bit more than say 10% of venue seats i don't get this at all ... Nothing against AV but they probably could of done it in an ARENA like the 3shows in Philly .....
