Or do they have to offer you a "Safe Ride", sponsored by the Wisconsin Tavern League, someplace else ... like your home — or more likely, a motel nearby?  And what if there ain't any motels available?

My group and I usually chill out in the parking lot for about an hour or so before we actually leave. We let the parking lot empty out a little bit, have some food, drink some water. The security there never really give us a hard time about doing that after the show

It is nice to see Alpine has already matched last year's season with 5 concerts so far. Jimmy, Hootie and 3 Phish.

I hope Alpine can have a healthy 10 show schedule, but I have my doubts.

Haha, I called and they shut me down immediately. Got a hotel about 8 miles away, and I’m hoping they have a shuttle. Otherwise, it looks like Lake Geneva has a bus or something? Might move my reservation to somewhere there!

FYI — MOTOR COACH TO ALPINE VALLEY
INCLUDES GENERAL ADMISSION LAWN TIX


First, in the interest of full disclosure, I have absolutely nothing to do with this.  I am merely posting this information for the benefit of any Parrotheads in the western WI/southeast MN/northeast IA area who would maybe like to go and find that something like this is the only option open to them.

Radio station KQEG 102.7 FM ('The Eagle') appears to have gotten together with TicketKingLaCrosse.com with regards to a bus trip to the Jimmy Buffett concert at Alpine Valley on July 20 2019.  Cost is $169.00 (plus $7.95 processing fee) and includes motorcoach from La Crosse WI to the concert and back, as well as one general admission lawn ticket.  MUST HAVE A SMART DEVICE TO PULL UP TICKETS ON.

What few details that are available as well as the order form can be found HERE.  If I find out anything more, such as time of departure, whether or not any pre-concert party time is included (although it certainly doesn't sound like it!), or whether you can BYO refreshments on the bus, I will try to update this.

My honest opinion is that you could probably do better — FAR better! — elsewhere, but again, I'm putting this up for informational purposes only.  I do not have any personal or business connection with the radio station itself (other than the fact that I listen to it) or the ticket reseller, TicketKingLaCrosse.com.
