Do you really want to make your voice heard? Email management. Take some time and create a well-written, well thought out email voicing your disappointment in their decisions.

This band runs itself like a business a lot at times ($150 guitar straps, anyone?), and those are a lot of the people responsible. If they start getting overwhelming emails that are respectful but vocalize your disappointment well, then that's probably the best you can really do.
This decision is financial. Not only are they playing three shows instead of two by skipping Alpine, but it better captures the local markets. There will be way more casual fans attending these shows than Alpine ever would. And during a tour supporting an album, that's key.
These folks will look at this from a pure numbers perspective and justify their decision. But if you make your voice properly heard, then that's the most you can possibly ask for. Who knows. But it's your best outlet.
