    Milwaukee is close to Alpine...otherwise another hub would be Chicago and then you'd have at least a good hour if not longer drive up into the Milwaukee area...If I were you...I'd just go straight into Milwaukee. But that is my opinion.

    Thanks....I'd rather stay relatively close to the venue in a city that isn't as hectic as Chicago, so Milwaukee makes sense!

    I am hoping there is a Brewers game the Thurs/Friday before the shows (not that they are "officially" happening yet!)

    Chicago probably has the most options and better prices.

    Yup $500/$600 in the offseason. :roll:

    When PJ played there in 2009 my 3 nights was just about $225 total at a four star hotel right in downtown. No need to try and inflate every price for no need.

    I can get to Alpine by plane/rental car fairly reasonably. I am still hoping that it ends up being one of a few other places.

    Most people don't plan on going alone.

    If you booked the Chicago Hyatt right now for August 26-28(2 night stay) it would cost you $358-$958 for 2 people depending on what room you wanted. So how exactly was I off on price. that's just the first giant hotel I checked.

    You dont stay in Chicago or Milwaukee.
    You stay at the motels/hotels in East Troy. Most of which are about 10 miles from the venue.

    Cheapest seat I found on aircanada.com is $351 from Halifax, to Toronto, then to Chicago. Aircanada has a 20% discount on select North American flights: Book by February 9. Hopefully it's not more expensive in the day's ahead (which it will be). :(
