    Awesome...couple questions.

    Does the bus stay at the parking lot so we can go into the veue at our leisure using the bus as a tailgate hub?

    What time will the bus leave from The Cove? Anything before 3pm (3:30 or 4 would be ideal but this is a democracy ;) )would be a deal breaker for my large crew currently at ~15. Depending on how this pans out, I am sure we can come to some sort of arrangement on pre-booking/payment for this bus.

    If we could get an agreeable time of departure and return amongst all involved and we could get at least 30 people, $25 roundtip per day is a very reasonable rate. Those who did not put money up front for the bus would just have to paypal those who did in advance of the show to secure their spot. This way payment from everybody would not be a concern at game time.

    Nice work. Thanks for looking!

    You guys are gonna love this. Bus that seats 40 is right around $720 (including us paying $100 for parking). They allow smoking and drinking on the bus but no kegs or glass. by smoking, I doubt they mean 420 friendly in case any of you shady buggers were wondering. Has to be paid with cc or money order a week before hand so that may get tricky, but i may be able to cover one night if someone else could take the other.

    Whats the verdict peoples?
    I DO love that!

    do not forget about the coupon mentioned in this thread. it is good for 20% off if presented upon arrival and mentioned when booking. The rooms are a steal imo with this factored in.
    sweet, didnt see that. Thanks!!!!


    yes, use the coupon! print it!

    So since this is turning into a large crowd I sent a few emails about getting a bus of some sort. Ideally I'm thinking we leave for the venue early afternoon (2-3?) both days. It looks like it will be cheaper to have it drop us off and pick us up later, but the pickup seems like a bit of a logistical nightmare. PM me if you're definitely in for this, already going to assume:

    Glorified Greg-2
    Nothingman4-4
    Dimsdale-4?
    Mademewise-4
    Anez98-4
    Usamamasan1-6

    Add Halifax2TheMax plus 1 for the bus. We're staying at the Cove. Thank you and if you need help on researching or planning logistics, let me know. So stoked!

    Peace!

    I was hoping but since nothing has happened I went ahead and booked a tailgate bus with YDrive Limo. I am organizing for 4 of us so did not want to have to end up driving by waiting til the last minute. This is from their site:

    We will have both Tailgate Buses going to the concert from several different hotels / resorts and spending the whole day. There are only 40 seats available on each bus (two buses available) and we WILL sell out so buy your tickets early! You will get round trip transportation from one of 6 pick-up locations TBD and we will set up the grill and cook burgers, brats, and dogs with cole slaw and chips available. You just need to bring your own beverages and snacks or desserts. Pick-ups will be between 9:30 - 10:30 am getting to Alpine Valley depending upon traffic around 11:00 am. We will stay all day so you can go into the concert at whatever time you decide and we won't leave until all 40 passengers are back or Midnight, whichever come first. Tickets are non refundable and are on a first come first serve basis. Please remember to tip the drivers as they will be there the whole day watching your stuff on the bus and doing the cooking and cleaning while you enjoy your day!

    $35.00 + gratuity

    It's a little steep but looks like you'll get fed too ($35 each day). Before I booked I emailed them and asked if one of the p/u - d/o locations was at or near the Cove of Lake Geneva Resort and was told it would either be there or very close. Not sure if there is space left but here is the link to their web site if anyone is interested:
