But management pulled them I suppose. But other people saw them, so they're legit.

    I saw Phish here last summer. Some upside, some downside. I wish they were going to Alpine, but it is what it is. The worst part for me is having to stay in the city.

    Just booked a hotel near the venue, not many left! Better safe than sorry and especially better than after the rates are jacked up!

    Any suggestions on hotels within walking distance of the venue? Also, is the area safe?

    No. Will need bulletproof vest for sure. Probably several bodyguards as well.

    the surrounding area is not too bad. its downtown chicago and there are always large groups usually in the area walking around, so no need to worry about anything major happening to you, just be smart like you would normally.

    very excited to hear this show is happening. As much as i love alpine, it was getting costly for us to drive,tailgate and get a hotel for the weekend. Now we can just do a short drive in or take the train.

    Define walking distance.. IMO walking distance is less then a mile. lol

    Is the area safe? Well, compared to the Lakeside caravan, yes. lol

    Ehhhh? No Alpine??? If true, I'm sad cause Alpine concerts live/taped are special. I really enjoy listening to the old shows. But, I would be thrilled jumping on the southshore to and from the venue. No designated driver for me! This will be my daughters first dmb concert too. Nothing like dreams of the summer dates to warm me up this cold ass night

    From what i heard camping is a plan for educational groups to do. They want to do a bunch of educational stuff with the rest of the island. So doubt they would allow camping for shows, at least not right away.

    This will be me too if we decide to go. Our group was once again set on Alpine for this weekend so it stings a bit...we shall see.

    I booked directly through Hilton.com and got the same rate / deal if you don't want to use booking.com. In the end it's the same thing.

    wow, I am shocked that there might not be any Alpine this year! It is always such an amazing time. It will be cool to see DMB back in Chicago though. At least the commute is much easier for me and will just being taking the el down

    Agreed, I remember hearing all the horror stories last year from people that had lawn tix for Buffet last year. Hopefully they have made some improvements
