It's the closet lot to the front/box office. Our group parks there every year as it's also on gravel and is just the easiest too coordinate with everyone. If you're worried about getting out quickly, you can obviously make it to your car before the rest of the lots.

I haven't stayed at the Alpine resort since 2013 but is there still not a way to get to the parking lots from the resort without going completely out and on to the main road?

I know you can enter straight into the venue and they sometimes have golf cart rides. I don't know why the resort doesn't run a shuttle to the lots. I would seriously pay like $25 per day for that.

Let's organize one!

I was just listening to the Q101 solo "show" and someone asked what his favorite venue to play in was. He immediately said Alpine, because that place is LOUD. things might have changed over the last 15 years or so, but I'm thinking they haven't. There's a special connection between the band and Alpine. I know I can't just be imagining that.

I've heard many many times throughout the years that Alpine is their favorite venue to play because of the energy.

And I don't know how Dave is at other venues but I know almost every year he's caught riding his bike around the lots talking to fans and hanging out before the shows.

You want VIP if you're gonna spend the extra money. Better than Premier.

[bubbaugly18]

Just got the email that tickets have shipped! Woot woot!!!

I'm not sure who/what is going to hate me more...my bank account, my liver, or my Snapchat friends when I have a 30 minute long story!

I doubt it will, can't imagine them shutting down that road. I did ask their fb page the question. the day they posted about camping they were answering questions, but of course my question was never answered.

I like to play piano. I hit the auto key then walk away. Mozart would be great for the horns to finish.
