Last year it took until May to get to this many pages on the Alpine thread....and still no concert!

40 more posts and this is in the top 10!
Let's get goin' then CaptainP! I'm almost to 100 posts....mearly a newbie compared to most, but I think we can still get a few hundred pages out of this thing.

BTW; technically your contest is still valid from last year, and I'm hoping July 9th is still a possibility.

Well, remember, the unconfirmed date has been July 30......

Understood, but I can't change my guess from last year, and I KNOW CaptainP will be handling out fabulous prizes to the winner in the Alpine parking lot (July 9th)!!!

No thanks, July 30th is my unofficial bet, but I wouldn't mind being right about July 9th from a year ago. I could prove to my wife that I'm right at least once!

Further confirmation . . . my mother-in-law also heard a Buffett @ Alpine ticket give away on her radio station, out of Rockford.

I'd love to know where he is getting this information, Brian gave a pretty grim report last time and the information that I got from a clear channel employee earlier last week made it sound as if there was zero chance...I'm all for it, and haven't canceled my hotel rooms yet, just not very positive about the whole thing now

According to the station as well as the Budweiser/Corona distributor here in town, who is actually giving the tix to the station, said if the distributor is giving the tix, it's a pretty sure thing, just no date set as of yet. Both have said the same thing.

Oh - and being the fanatic that I am-----my sister works in a bar, I asked her to talk to her rep, he told her the same thing yesterday as I was working dilligently trying to find any information possible - I guess all we can do is hope it's all true!!!

I'm not disputing the facts here, but I do find it interesting that someone would be giving away tickets to a concert that's doesn't have a date, and which is at least 3 months away. Promotional tickets are usually hawked near the concert date to get the maximum exposure. Just my 2 cents....

I don't know much about the "promotional tix" game, but I was listening to a radio station out of Chicago last night and today- giving away Dave Matthews tix for end of June shows to Alpine.

My Bud/Corona rep still knows nothing.

My last info was directly from M'Ville....they said "no go", but that could've changed, still trying to re-confirm.

this lines up exactly with the message clear channel is expressing as well...my question pertained to the entier season at alpine and if a couple names were to be part of it...buffett was a no...this was over a week ago and I guess things could have changed, but I'm not buying what the bud man is selling at this point, his beer or his ticket info
