CHECK-IN & BUS LODING INFORMATION:
Check-in takes place at Wanaki Golf Course from 2:30pm – 3:15pm. The bus leaves at 3:30pm. The ride to Alpine valley is about 1 hour and you will be arriving a couple hours before show time.
After you have checked-in, please make sure to not leave the premises so you don’t miss your bus. Once we have checked in enough to fill a bus, we will make an announcement and a staff member will direct you to your assigned bus.
There is a high chance your bus will be full and there might not be an empty seat next to you. We kindly ask that you stow your belongings in the overhead compartment once you board on the bus to allow room for patrons to board quickly and find seats. Please also make sure you’re whole group is present at check-in and during bus boarding if you want to ride and sit with a specific group.
After you have checked in, please wear your lanyard pass for the duration of your trip on the 21st. This is your ticket back onto the bus and back home to Wanaki. If you you bought a 2-day pass, you will need to re-check on the 22nd and you will get a new lanyard for day 2.
YOUR CHAPERONE:
Each bus is assigned a chaperone for the duration of your trip. The bus you get on and the chaperone you are assigned will be the same on the way there and back. They will give you information on your drop-off and pick-up location, inform you on additional information, and help direct you onto your bus after the concert ends. If you have any questions or concerns, please ask your chaperone for assistance.
BUS INFORMATION

You will receive a lanyard for your round-trip bus ride. Your bus pass includes all you can drink on the bus there and back.

PICK UP & DROP OFF INFORMATION
What do I do with my belongings?
For those of you who have extra belongings you don’t want to bring into the concert, you are welcome to leave them on the bus. Once the bus parks, the bus will be locked until the end of the concert.
Where does the bus pick up and drop off?
The bus will drop you off in a bus parking lot at Alpine Valley. This bus will stay in this parking lot for the duration of your time at Alpine Valley. Where you are dropped off is the same location where you will be picked up. For those who are nervous about finding the bus after the game concludes, we suggest
dropping a pin in the maps app on your phone or looking at the map on the back of your pass.
When does the bus leave?
Your chaperone will start checking people onto your assigned bus after the concert ends, but you have 55 minutes after the concert ends to head back to your bus. The bus you ride to the concert is the same bus you ride back. If all passengers are back before the 55 minutes have elapsed, you will hit the road sooner. For those that have opted in for our texting service, we will send you a courtesy message to head back to your bus.
