    more like not caring because of a horrible location

    It could be in the middle of a manure factory and I'd be there


    that's fine ..that's you

    as great as it will be ...pj that is...i wold rather spend my money on a pearl jam vacation to a better locale..that's my story..
    to me..alpine looks sucky for what i like in a venue

    again i will have seated seats so the lawn won't be an issue..if i were to go
    but i'd rather save my trip
    i could care less about other bands or whatever festival...i want pearl jam

    will it be epic...again pearl jam is all i care about...of course it will be
    Sorry this is just too funny to me! You've been complaining about the festival possibly being held there and call it "sucky" yet you've never been there?????????????
    Speaking as someone who has seen PJ play there on 4 occasions as well as many other shows there I can tell you that I can't think of a better location! If you want multiple bands and therefore a large capacity as well as camping and scenery and relative close proximity to airports (milwaukee, o'hare both about 30-45 minutes) there is no better location then this!

    I think Demetrios was suggesting that hopefully the band offer some bus or transportation services of their own, and to be honest, I would be more surprised if they did not offer something like that.

    What the band will offer is a chance to rent a car to drive to the show to see them. The insurance alone for something like that would be ridiculous.
    Excuse me? How is a shuttle bus not a feasible solution? I fail to see why the insurance on such a thing would be so expensive.

    He told me they have 1 Jimmy Buffet show 3 Dave Matthews shows and 2-3 days of a festival headlined by PJ. Apparently no Phish this year. They typically play there every year like Dave and Buffet. If it werent for Dave Matthews and Jimmy Buffet and Phish, Alpine likely would have been shut down along time ago.


    If it's 3 days it's definitely Labor Day weekend.

    I didn't see this original post but anyway it would be very unusual if phish didn't play alpine valley - they've played it every year they've toured since 1996 (13 times), so short of them playing wrigley field or something very large close by, this info you're getting might not be accurate
    Oh its very accurate! As of tuesday Alpine has not heard from Phish management.

    I'm not booking a hotel or airfare UNTIL an official announcement from 10 club. I don't care if I have to stay 45 minutes away because I'm going to rent a car anyways and the hotels will be cheaper the further away from Alpine Valley you stay.

    I don't see that happening here do to lack of capacity in the immediate area. I would assume that the limited parking lot camping may be somehow reserved or made available to the 10c but a nearby hotel is going to be hard to come by, let alone a block of rooms to do a package deal.

    There is plenty of hotels within an hour of the venue.

    so what's your point? An hour :lol: what part about "immediate area" got you confused?

    So do you guys really think 37,000 capacity is big enough for this thing? If it really is at AV, a lot of fans are going to be shut out.

    I don't care where it is anymore. If it's Alpine I will walk to west. Michigan, swim across Lake Michigan and run to Wisconsin. I just hope it's not on Labor Day Weekend...We need an official announcement already.

    it's all pretty nerve wracking, really. ive booked holidays to the states in this period (mid aug to mid sep). i've got 1 chance at this festival, or i'm either going to miss it by a week or so, or i'm going to have to change a shitload of internal plans... which may end up ruining the logitics of the rest of the holiday.

    but if it DOES eventuate, i'd be keen on some local knowledge/ car pooling from west milwaukee/elkhorn/east troy/wherever.... 8-)
    Yeh I've seen Pearl Jam, too. But I can't remember the dates.

    just to add to the discussion regarding shuttles... it is doubtful, i don't think from an insuarance standpoint but a logistics standpoint, the hotels are spaced out, so you better plan on finding a carpool. 10C hotel packages seem bleak too, because a lot of the nearby hotels don't really have a large capacity. i guess its possible but i wouldn't really hold your breath.

    also, for those planning to stay a bit farther away for cheapness, be aware that the parking lot gets very congested when leaving, since its essentially different parts of a field, and you could sit for hours trying to get out - i've seen this happen several times. so if your hotel is a bit of a drive, say an hour, figure on it taking 2-3 hours to get to after the show.

    yea its just not working...as great as the shows will be...the location and everything associated with getting there and leaving just sounds like a drag/hassle

    after a long day/concert i don't wanna be stuck in a lot for 2 hours than have another hour drive ..
    i wanna be in a bar /hotel within 15-20 min


    ehhh its getting repetative :lol:

    call me crazy but sitting in a parking lot for 2 hours does not appeal to me at all
    the concert is the fun/experience...not the parking lot

    i plan all my pj vacation's so that i can be doing something else or back in my hotel with the quickness...i would much rather go experience a city or a bar or get some food over sitting in a parking lot in the woods..

    granted sometimes you have to sacrifice things in life ..but again its just not worth it for me

    With all the "I'm not going because of this or that" comments, hopefully you all have better member numbers than me and if there is any senority based seating, I'll be moving closer. No offense to any of you, but this weekend should really be about the music and just be able to be there and enjoy it. I don't care where you go, when stick 37000+ people in one spot, you can't make them all happy.
