All I'm gonna say about finding tickets in the lot is it won't be impossible, but don't necessarily think it will be easy. Lots of people showed up ticketless at dc and av in 2010 and there was lines at the box office. Especially at deer creek, some missed the first set the first night no joke.

A lot of history between those two venues too, in terms of ridiculous hows and personal memories. This little trip will take me back to the 90's and I absolutely hope they bring the heat.

PhishDicks, there are lawn tix for Alpine N1 still available through livenation - are you looking to get tix below face on the lot?

I will be at both Alpine nights, really looking forward to my 3rd and 4th shows...GA for N1 and pavs N2. Just hope I can keep it relatively under control N1 haha.

I haven't missed a DC to Alpine or Alpine to DC run yet. I told the wife that if this weekend happens it will always be the one vacaton i get a year. So stoked just about to get the camping gear checklist out and put it in order. Who's getting in early on wednesday? Always a great time at the campgrounds and you get a whole 24 hours of pregame the day before.

frantic0blivion bring cash. just a tip if you are going to get tix at the alpine box office & don't want to stand in a huge line waiting for plastic transactions to process. they have employees with stacks of tickets walking around the area near the box office. same might be true for deer creek or at least there's a cash only line that moves a lot faster. pretty sure there aren't any additional fees associated with buying like this

great woods would do well to learn this trick, but nothing about that place is easy or makes much sense

I know I'm waiting, too. The wife is calling home asking everyday if the dc + av tix have come. We are vibrating with excitement.

Angler I'll be back at Deer Creek again. Had a great time at the Phish shows in '10. Camping at the venue campground was really cool. Love this venue. First went there in '92 to see the Dead, so it will be my 20th anniversary of sorts. Alas, can't make Alpine.

guys, how is the parking situation at alpine? horrendous? I'm thinking about a VIP parking pass for Sunday night, group of 4 of us would probably like to skate out of there as quickly as possible

Not bad if you park in yellow lot and are a "lot driving ninja" as my friend called me. Bob and weave, if a line gets stale zig and zag. We always chill for about an hour to let people mad dash it and peep the traffic flow...plus sometimes you get to see a w00k fight like 09.

Yellow lot is your friend in many-a-ways = off to the side (far west)...I've never spent more than 30 minutes in traffic leaving av...even less entering and that's every year since 2003.

JayDubya RE: Parking at Alpine

We always plan to sit and chill in the parking lot post show, but usually have ended up trying to leave. It can be maddening.

Also, the cops force everyone onto the interstate after the show, which is just nutty. It's also scary if you didn't get to Alpine via the interstate. Boom, you're immediately lost.

frantic0blivion Permalink
frantic0blivion vip parking at venues is for suckers & lazy people. i mean unless you have a physical condition that prevents you from walking very far in which case you'd get a handicap spot in lot & venue for free anyway

get there later & you'll be parked at the rear of the lots. easy exit post show. no real lot scene so no need to get there particularly early unless you're low-key

SconnieGuy Alpine for this guy. Staying at Country View Campground in Mukwenago which is a new one for us. We've usually stayed at Rome Riverside and like it, but wanted to try a closer proximity to the venue. Gonna be a great weekend of camping, hiking and the Phishy Phish!!!

RE: the questions on the AV lawn being crappy. It's steep, which is means you are closer to the stage than you might expect. But if you have ankle or knee problems, standing the entire show might get uncomfortable. And if it had rained or is raining it could get slick. Personally, I love AV Lawn, and our group usually makes a point to do an AV lawn show every year just for the laid back vibe and the scenic Wisconsin sunset and hilly countryside in view while the band is playing. That will be N2 for us this year. N1 we in the Pav Page Side.
