Alpine Valley Music Theatre | 07.03.10 - 07.04.10 | East Troy, WI (link in post 1)
Hey fellow DMB fans...I was just wondering about what the cost of the Alpine weekend is overall. I am planning to take a trip out there this summer and would love to make this happen.
[MOD EDIT]  Due to popular demand, this is now the Official Alpine 2010 thread. Start makin' yer plans. [MOD EDIT #2] Here is the post with the WDS members going to Alpine, and all the pertinent info about the meet-up Alpine Valley Caravan and Tailgate thread

It cost me about 360 dollars with tickets, travel, beer, etc, but I also stayed a friends place, so no hotel costs or anything

Depends on your costs really... are you flying or driving? Going to both nights? Pavilion or lawn? Hotel or camping? Do you drink in the venue at the show? Do you compulsively buy posters, t-shirts, etc.?
Here's a couple standard costs that may help you... Lodging Holiday Inn: $120/night Camping: (Never camped at Alpine, someone else could maybe throw out some costs here.) Tickets Pavilion: $75/ticket (2 night stand = $150 per person) Lawn: $40/ticket (2 night stand = $80 per person) Beer In the venue: $7.50 Strip n Go Naked: Free at the WDS tailgate Food Standard stadium prices inside the venue... parking lot is a great place though to tailgate and bring your own grill and do your thing pre-show to save big dollars. Really, its all on you. Last year, I shared a hotel room with 3 other people at the rate above... so it was $60 for the hotel, $150 for the tickets, 3 tanks of gas = $90, and then food and drinks up there, so yeah, I think $360 was a decent number... Gas cost would've decreased if I rode to Alpine with people and didn't drive solo.

Camping is cheap ($15-$30, per night), but make sure you make reservations. It is a giant pain in the ass if you wait until you get there.
I have stayed at three different campgrounds in the past: Scenic Ridge, Snug Harbor and Counry View, listed in order of party-friendliness. Scenic Ridge, all night bashing - Country View, quiet and family friendly. If you haven't experienced the AWESOME CRAZINESS of Alpine, I highly recommend.

I make the journey from Illinois. I stay in Racine which is about 45 minutes north of East Troy, in a Knights INN. The room was about 105 for 2 nights. I take about 400 with me and im good for the weekend. And yes I buy both posters, beer at the show, and whatever else I feel I need for a good time.
Its worth the journey. Alpine is beautiful. Looking forward to seeing everyone there in about 8-9 months.

I can tell you this, the cost of regret of not going far outweighs the monetary cost of going.
Start saving now, use a credit card, whatever you need to do. Don't miss it. Alpine 2010 here I come!!!
