One of the many places we traveled to while on vacation was to East Troy, WI to see the Dave Matthews Band play at Alpine Valley. We have done this nearly every summer since 1999 and is one of my favorite summer traditions. This year however, was a little different from the rest. We were pulling into the venue when I decided to look over our tickets to see what this "Reserved Lawn" business was all about. After some careful examination, I figured out that Brian did not grab our Alpine tickets from our desk drawer, but our Xcel Center tickets! In 11 years of making this trip we have never forgotten our tickets! The show was sold out so we started making phone calls, and talking to scalpers. Eventually we found one that was willing to sell us a pair of pavilion seats for under $200 so we were able to make it in. All in all it wasn't so bad... we got the tickets for WAY under face value, got to use the VIP entrance, lounge, patio, and restrooms, and best of all... I didn't have to sit on the lawn!
