Anyone else remember how hard it was to get tickets in 1996 (ok, dating myself a little here)? You think getting tickets for 35,600-capacity venue is gonna be hard? PLEASE! Try getting a ticket to a 5,000-capacity Savage Hall in Toledo OH!

Hahaha...that was a great show though.

Don't apologize bro....I'm in the south, too, and don't have the money to travel much to see them, and they haven't been close to me since 2004(and I was there). You have been to some kick ass shows.

Unforunately WI is just too expensive for travel at this point. Flights for me on labour day weekend are 500 + taxes, then when you factor in tickets, and that all the hotels are already booked, and the rental car - plus food and bevyy's... I can't do it.

I can totally relate to this and I am worried about it too...it is going to make me sick if I can't go so you're not alone.

or have plans. A lot of kids start football that weekend so parents may have a hard time getting out of that. There are a lot of things that make this show inconvenient for people.

Totally agree- whole total cost will prob be close to $1000 for out-of-towners (tickets/plane/hotel/food/merch)...

I still want to go, too! Man, it will be much more than $1000 because I reserved a room yesterday just in case, 10 minutes away from the place, for $670 freaking dollars!! I have no idea if I will rent a car to go (cuz I don't have one), or fly--either way, mucho dollars. On top of that, tickets!! THEN food/bev/merchandise. Jeez!! I'm really hoping...and it's all on my tax return.

Just want to say I'm not complaining in any way, this PJ20 is a once in a lifetime thing...

To all of you: I apologize for opening my mouth in the first place. Every time I read another confirmation for Alpine Valley I get a little more frustrated, because Alpine Valley on Labour Day weekend does not work for me, and I really really really wanted to go.

boo fuckin hoo dude. i live in South Dakota. Dont tell me it costs too much to travel to see PJ. No excuses. Get there.

Dude, I gaurentee you I have spent more money traveling to see Pearl Jam than a lot of people on this board would even dream of, but unfortunately I cannot justify the money to head to Alpine Valley when I can do Montreal and Toronto for so much cheaper. And this pisses me off.

In 08, I flew to Toronto and took a 16 hour bus ride (that was supposed to be 8) to NYC for the MSG shows.

In 09 I flew to Toronto for the show so I could take my brother cause he couldn't even afford the ticket on his own, and he works at the fucking Amp!

In 10, I drove 6 hours to New Orleans and got gouged by Jazzfest price hikes. On top of that, 2 weeks later I flew to Boston, and drove to Hartford to catch 2 more shows.

Don't talk to me about spending money to see the jam.

Am I the only one completely entertained by the disgruntled responses of those opposed to possibly traveling to Alpine?

People saying, "yeah well, I'm not gonna go! I'll show you! I'm waaay too good for that bullshit. I can't believe that's where it is. Here would have been the best place!"

Really?
Really...

Do you really think youre going to take a shit on the rest of our birthday cakes by saying things like that? Does it make you feel less shitty in doing so? Knowing you're going to miss an amazing, once in a lifetime event, put on by a band we love and fully support?

Why do you feel the need to even spew your madness? You just look like a fool... A fucking fool that is going to miss out on memories and great times with fans.

I agree, I do look like a fool for my post, and I apologize I am frustrated - and I am happy for you that PJ fest will be in your backyard. It must be nice. But I have to ask how you would feel if I told you PJ were playing there festival at Flatonia, Texas, which is about 90 minutes outside of Houston, in rural no where? I think you would have similar emotions... sorry they got the best of me.

If you were an East Coaster would Wisconsin still be bullshit? And how about the Gorge, would that be bullshit? Same question, as if you were an East Coaster again. How could one location please everyone within a country of an area of 3.79 million square miles? Now add your friendly neighbours up North. Now those under you in South America. Now those across the pond.

I plan on enjoying my stay in Buttfuck, Wisconsin; and feel as though someone like you might encroach on my ability to do so. Hope you don't bring your bad vibes to Montreal or Toronto though!

That is completely unnecessary. I will go to Toronto and Montreal and have a blast at the Peel Pub and Moe's in MTL, and hit all my fav spots in DT T.O like McVeighs, the Horseshoe, Sneeky Disease, etc, etc...

I live in the south, I never get a show in my backyard, I always have to travel. However I like to travel in a city. I'm sorry that it makes things a little easier on the budget. Access to hotels and friends couches....

I'll make sure to avoid you in Toronto and Montreal, I'll be having too great a time to even register that most people are there.

I would love to go to the Gorge. I've always wanted to see the place, and I was hoping PJ 20 would be there, where there is no roof, and preferred seating, just one big open stage. I strongly disklike ampitheatres unless I'm under the roof, cause the lawn always sounds terrible. No matter what, it always sound terrible. And unfortunately the lawn at Alpine is huge, and I gaurentee you that seats under the roof are going to be very very expensive and difficult to get. Mind you I would buy them from 10C, but I don't think I'll get the opportunity when the server crashes for 60,000 ten clubbers trying to buy about 4000 available tickets.

Me me me.. Listen to yourself.. I hope you have fun in Montreal and Toronto>> you will not be missed in Wisconsin!! Me and some awesome PJ fans are gonna be having the time of our lives, and the cost and what we each had to sacrifice to be there will get get brought up once.. just before we thank god that we are not in Canada

To you, just sorry. You're right, I am only thinking about me, but that's because if I don't look out for myself, who else will?

Enjoy your time in WI. I am sure that it will be a blast, and that's why I'm so pissed, because I know it will be fun and I wanted to go.

And I can't wait to get back to Canada, I was born and raised there and hold a Canadian passport. It is the greatest place on earth. You're missing out if you think otherwise.

Unforunately WI is just too expensive for travel at this point. Flights for me on labour day weekend are 500 + taxes, then when you factor in tickets, and that all the hotels are already booked, and the rental car - plus food and bevyy's... I can't do it. So yea, I'm pissed off I can't go. For me to do Toronto-Montreal, I can drop in on a bunch of good friends I haven't seen in a while, couch surf for free, and hop the train between the cities... it works out well for me.

Again guys, sorry, I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade, it just frustrates me to all hell cause I was going to do this thing.

I'll shut up now
