Jimmy Buffett Concert
Alpine Valley Music Theater,
East Troy, Wisconsin
Saturday, August 29, 2009
2009 Tour Name: SummerzCool
(Summer's cool? Summer School?)
TICKETS:
Alpine tickets will be sold via LiveNation.com rather than Ticketmaster. LiveNation owns Alpine Valley Music Theater, while it is just the promoter for the Toyota Park shows. There is not a link or on-sale date posted yet, but I think tickets will go on-sale Monday 2/23. Our club is NOT eligible for club tickets to Alpine. We get the closest venue via MapQuest mileage, which is Chicago.
VIP BEER DECKS:
Want a guaranteed Alpine ticket before they go on sale? You can if you
simply pay for your beer deck spot today.
Stay in the parking lot longer. Don't miss any of the show standing in line for beer
or potties. Don't fight to maintain your spot on the crowded slippery lawn.
VIP Beer Decks are located along the right side of the lawn (when facing the stage). Each deck holds 50 people. Price includes: Concert ticket, Private bartender, private port a-potty, and a security guard. Keg Beer is available on the deck but is not included in price. There are no chairs on the deck.
Just like last year, I need firm commitments and PAYMENTS before I will agree to purchase the decks. Space is limited to the first 50 (2nd 50, only if the first deck sells out quickly). I love all of you, but these deck spots will be awarded on a first PAID basis. If you want a deck spot, please contact me to get on the list and then quickly follow up with your payment. Deck spots are not guaranteed unless they have been paid for.
Price is not confirmed, but I'm pretty sure it will remain $180 (or $186 via Pay Pal). A later adjustment may be necessary. Note: Make checks payable to Christie Buckrop, 76 Sunny Hill Drive, Orion, IL 61273 or Pay Pal to buckrop.christie@mchsi.com . Do NOT make check to QCPH.
TWO SEASON'S BOWL:
A big part of the annual Alpine Mecca for many QCPH members involves Two Season's Bowl in Elkhorn, WI. There will be live entertainment by Matt Wahl and by the Cedar Island Band on Friday night and a DJ/Karaoke on Saturday morning and Saturday night after the concert. Two Season's offers affordable camping for Fri & Sat nights and bus transportation to & from the concert. Look for more details as they develop. For details and contact information go to

HOTELS:
Many members have their favorite hotels that they stay at year after year. The bulk of those that participate in the Two Season's Bowl activities will camp on-site or will try to get a room in Elkhorn at the AmericInn and, new this year, the Hampton Inn. Both of these hotels are currently sold out. However, some of our members may be holding extra rooms. We also have access to a block of rooms at the Hampton Inn. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure the blocked rooms will be $199 per night with a 2-night minimum. For those of you that have rooms reserved that you don't need, please consider offering them up to other members before canceling them.

ROOKIES:
QCPH is not hosting a bus trip. We haven't confirmed that Rookies will be offering their bus trip again. In past years, they offered a package which included bus ride there and back, a lawn ticket, plus some extras like party favors, etc. Call Rookies Sports Bar at: (563) 324-2434. Tell them you are a QCPH member so they know we are out here and spreading the word for them.
See you at Alpine!
