Hey, i know there are like 3000 threads on this on the porch, waay too many to go through, but i was wondering how many passengers on this crazy train are making the trip to alpine valley?

i was in until last night when my 2 travel partners (primary and back up) both bailed on me. i am still waiting to hear back from backups number 2 and 3, but it ain't looking good :(

so basically i was wondering who was going and who i am going to miss meeting in person and drinking a beer with...

    unsung I stopped by on March 7 2024. First time in many years, had to update payment info. Hope all is well. Politicians suck. Bye. Posts: 9,487
    I attempted to buy tickets today but I couldn't get through. Plus the closest hotel that has rooms is about 55 minutes away, I live 2 1/2 hours away but I wonder if it is worth it. I thought about buying one of the packages but the prices are way too high. I figured after tickets, the shuttle, the special hang out area, and the posters that you were paying $900+ for hotel rooms. One of those places normally charges $90 a night. That is too much of an upcharge for me to accept.

    I'll try for tickets again tomorrow, but if I don't get them I won't be overly upset.

    The package deals are outrageously expensive! Too bad you can't car camp at Alpine.

    I'm wasted my afternoon yesterday ... today better not be a repeat!

    there is a ray of hope yet....my friend changed his mind on the condition that we camp and save some money, so i booked a campsite..

    now the hard part of getting tickets....

    hoping to meet those that are going and have a beer with you. :)

    Got my tickets! Now I'm off to physical theropy for carpel tunnel syndrome from all the goddamn clicking of my mouse. ;)

    Now to figure out where to stay :think: I'll probably end up at one of the campgrounds. Any advice from people that have been there? Snug Valley offers a free shuttle. I would like to go to one of the state campgrounds but they don't allow beer and other stuff :|

    not i.
    have no desire to sit through a bunch of bands i've never heard of (and given PJs "taste" in opening acts the last 10 years, I'm more than a bit scared...lol) ... and have ZERO desire to do that two days in a row.

    Honestly, whose idea was it to run the same line up twice and force 10c members to buy tickets to both?
    that just seems ... weird.

    I dunno.
    I'm holding my breath for some "unplanned" additions to the tour schedule for the year.
    AC, Philly, ... something.

    Not bitching, just saying.
    i don't have the $ or time to travel to wisc. this year anyhow ... and not for *that* lineup.
    ;)

    I hope everyone who *is* going has a fucking blast, rocks the fuck out, and I hope they all get to hear Black Red Yellow, Push Me Pull Me, Out of My Mind, Last Soldier, Aye Davanita, etc etc etc.
    ;):D :P

    PS - ... now SOUNDGARDEN IN PHILLY !??!
    I AM ALL THE FUCK OVER THAT ! ! !

    Nope - going home to New Zealand for a month (leaving on Saturday actually) and that's going to drain the bank account. A shame - I wouldn't mind having a beer with some of you guys in real life instead of just yakking about politics on these here interwebs. Maybe if Pearl Jam ever plays the South again and you road trip here we can go on a pub crawl in the French Quarter haha

    We don't even get Soundgarden here either (thanks for making me jealous about that, Drifting). I'm not going to lie - unlike 90% of the people who post on the Porch, if I was making my dream PJ20 lineup it would be an orgasmic grunge superfest.
    And I listen for the voice inside my head... nothing. I'll do this one myself.

    Don't be too jealous.
    Your in NOLA, goddamnit!
    (i was born there, left too soon - age 10 -- been back plenty-o-times though)

    Yeah. I'm with you.
    I thought for sure "PJFest" was going to be something like this:
    PJ
    Soundgarden
    [Temple of the Dog songs played]
    Janes Addiction
    Alice In Chains ["RIGHT TURN" played!]
    Mudhoney
    Melvins
    Tad
    Strokes
    Kings of Leon
    Sleater Kinney *Reunion*

    or some such.
    But hey. They're Pearl Jam. They do what they want.
