I promise u that Tinley and Alpine would be instant sell-outs.

LOL, I knew this was going to happen, oh, the northside of Chicago, what can u say.

I think most people can figure out where to and where not to go. Let's get off this topic before it gets ugly, yikes!!

Ok, LOL, let's not let people freak out when they show up at these places, I live on Clark and Irving, right down the street from the ballpark. Any place east of Halsted to the lake is VERY MUCH ALTERNATIVE LIFESTYLE!!!!. On Halsted, from Waveland to Belmont, is very much gay and so is the Days Inn,...

It will be interesting to see JB's popularity, everybody knows how outrageous the ticket prices are $130.00 and $90.00. Basically, it's show up to the concert and go home, absolutely no place for tailgating or parking anywhere. They're putting about 39,500 on sale. I've been to many a Cubs game and ...

Let's just close out this thread, I'm from Chicago and there is no day I look forward to all year is seeing Jimmy at Alpine, for whatever reason, Jimmy's not coming this year. I still would like Jimmy or Alpine to address exactly_WHY_he's not coming. We've loyally supported Jimmy for years at Alpine...

Sam, a Coral Reefer from '83-86, played on stange with Jimmy last night..the current band is great, but how 'bout a night with Sam Clayton, Robert G, Utley, Fingers, Josh Leo, Vince Malamed, Matt Betton, Deborah McColl, Roger Bartlett and JIMMY....Wow, could u imagine that!

Sam Clayton, on stage with Jimmy tonight, was a Coral Reefer from '83-86...

Jimmy just said Sam Clayton is with the band tonight, he was a former Coral Reefer......

I'm am very much against the Wrigley concert. However, Jimmy did play to play many times at the Quiet Knight club on Belmont and Sheffield, four blocks from Wrigley Field. I've read about JB playing there with Steve Goodman. He did write, "He Went to Paris", about an old war hero from that...

Buffett is flat out screwing us fans over, we have loyally supported him for years, he knows how important Alpine is to us.

Common, Jimmy, u cant take one night out of your 2005 calender year to play at Alpine Valley?

Well, I usually always have a pavilion seat. But, for me, it's the Alpine experience that is the best. It's leaving Chicago on an RV with ten other people around 12, getting to Alpine around 2:30 and setting up the tailgate, the incredible anything-goes vibe u get at Alpine with the tailgate, and th...

Nobody owes you anything. Get over it. Yeah, they do, Alpine has been a regular stop on the tour for years, it's not some backwater venue that he plays once every ten years. This is an annual event at, IMO, the best Buffett venue anywhere. It's a 40,000 seat venue that sells out in two minutes every...

Jimmy Buffett and Alpine Valley officials owe us an explanation on why there will be no concert. That's the least they could do us at the point.

Since Buffett won't give us Alpine, I am, in fact, boycotting the junkyard that is Wrigley for a concert. I live right down the street, but, I'm not going. It's got to be the worst place on earth for a concert and I'm dissappointed our neighborhood gave in on this. Tailgating is over, CPD will be ou...

It looks like the unthinkable has turned into reality, Buffett is not going to play at the cathedral of all Buffett venues, Alpine Valley. IMO, as I just posted on the Alpine thread, this is the end for Buffett. Jimmy, you might as well just retire if you're not going to play at Alpine. Thanks for t...

Well, if Jimmy is gonna turn down Alpine and a 35,000 instant sell-out, what can we do?

This tells me the end is very near for Buffett if he's not going to play at Alpine Valley, the best venue on the tour.

If you're not going to play Alpine, just retire, Jimmy.

It's been a great ride.

--Pay him what he's asking, and have us pay enough to cover it!--

I at this point, I have to agree. Just charge it back to us. The latest update I also got from the head of Alpine is there's no news to report at this time. Unbelievable.

Buffett has raised his ticket prices, read this article about how Alpine wants to keep the costs down.

LOL, Yeah, I guess, I'm gonna have to!

Wrigley is going to be a total and utter gong show, I live six blocks away and I want no part of it, but, I'll probably go to one show. Alpine is a day I look forward to all year, I cannot believe Buffett cannot get a date hammered home. Im gonna flat out say it like it is if he blows off Alpine, th...
