Large stage with several obstacles blocking lawn seats. It's a large performance venue, housing over 37,000. Getting in and out can take up to 45 minutes.
Live Nation has made some improvements and offers good food and beverage options. Lots of upgrade options too.
My biggest disappointment is the over reach of law enforcement circling the parking lots with golf carts and a magistrate on-site to process arrests. It rather seems like a fundraiser for local police. There are always some bad actors in large concert settings, but treating the entire audience as such impacts the experience significantly.

The venue is beautiful, but the $36 beers leave a bad taste in your mouth. I know all venues take the chance to rob you blind once they have you confined, but Alpine Valley takes it to a whole new level. I will go back for sure, but will never buy another beer.

Up front parking! You will never get out! Horrible and we asked why and they didn’t care! Everyone else’s lanes moved and not us! Up close means never get out!

Don't listen to the negative reviews. They seem to have one thing in common: old people that can't walk up the hill and like to complain about the things that make this place special. I've been to about a dozen shows here, and have had a blast at every single one. In fact, it's even more fun when the hill gets wet and slippery (slip and slide anyone??). This venue is truly special, and it's an amazing energy and feeling you get when 37,000 people get together to see a show. I wish they had more shows.

Sorry to read all of the negative responses posted in 2019 concerning the Jimmy Buffett show at Alpine Valley. I have been attending shows at Alpine since 1978 and I have never had an experience to compare with those voiced by many of the concertgoers. My wife and I attended the same concert, had a great time and went to the show expecting that there would be lines and it would be necessary to deal with some delays parking, entering the venue when the gates opened and exiting the parking lot after the show.
If you go to Alpine and expect that there is only going to be a small crowd attending a show then you need to research the venue. The theater holds 37,000 people and any informed Buffett fan knew that it was a sell-out prior to concert day. 37,000 people don't squeeze through a few gates in a few minutes.
As for the lawn seating, many years ago we sat on the lawn when we were not able to purchase pavilion tickets (for Buffett, by the way). I swore that that would never happen again as it was impossible to maintain a minimal seating area due to fans lack of respect for personal space. And I got tired of the "beer showers" also, provided by drunk and over-served attendees who didn't seem to give a damn about the show. Sometimes I think the expensive beer prices are to purposely reduce the amount of beer consumed by some of the less than responsible concert attendees. Sitting on the lawn for a sold-out show is definitely not recommended.
As for the physical layout of the theatre, it was purposely built on the side of a natural valley to provide a view of the stage from the whole venue. Is it steep? Yes it is. Is the lawn slippery when it is wet. Yep. Can the climb from the pavilion and lower lawn be a chore for an older or disabled person. Definitely. When I first went there in 1978 I was 27 years old and the physical layout of the theatre was not a problem. Now at nearly 70 years old, that climb up the hill can be challenging but I would rather see a show at Alpine than almost any other venue in the country.
Some of the problems unfortunately experienced by the disappointed fans were created by the people who attended the show. The walkways and sidewalks should be kept clear but there obviously are not enough security personnel to keep up with constantly herding the people. Disrespect for others personal space cannot be solved by security. Sadly some people go to see Jimmy with the idea that they are going to be "blasted" or "blitzed" out of their minds and don't really give a damn about the show or the fans who came to see a concert, not a bunch of loud mouthed jerks.
While the quality of concerts over the years have improved, unfortunately, the quality of concertgoers has not. In 2019, my wife and I (sometimes with friends) attended 13 shows in four states. Most of the shows had at least one or two loudmouths within earshot who just could seem to fathom that they were at a show that was attended by thousands of people and who wanted to hear the music instead of some idiot babbling about some totally irrelevant bullpucky. The only shows where the fans respected each other AND the band were at the Sting Cheese Incident and Greensky Bluegrass shows.
None of these issues will stop me from going to see live music, particularly at Alpine Valley. But I go anticipating what to expect and try to stay as flexible as possible if some aspect of the experience requires more patience or takes a little more time than usual.

I really enjoy seeing live music at Alpine Valley. Kiss, Aerosmith, Boston, The Who, Skid Row, Megadeth, Pantera... The list goes on and on. I have never had a bad experience.

Went to Hottie and the Blowfish concert and had the best time! Always scared to do adventures due to disability and unable to walk up steep inclines. The staff was very helpful and kind! Thanks to the workers who shuttled us to the event. Our weather was perfect for an outdoor event!

This venue is stunning! The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is the layout. This is not set up for people who have any type of disability or ailment. The steep incline and crazy stairs were insane. I witnessed several people fall during the event. The rain didn’t help matters!
The building and amphitheater are awesome. The scenery is beautiful. I enjoyed the covered seating since it rained heavily while I was there. The food was great. The drink prices - unheard of - By far, the most expensive venue for drinks I have ever been to.
I would go to this venue again for the festival I attended. Otherwise, I can’t see myself going back.

Alpine Valley Music Theater is a joke!!!!!!!!!! Parking is awful-traffic is awful--sooooo dangerous--steep walking--slippery-- no lights---very very limited bathrooms--workers are rude-prices for concessions are ridiculous--I hope the farmers got some of that profit,,, no security to be seen--drunks-drugs --everywhere-How this place doesn't have 100's of lawsuits after every concert I will never know. Never take your kids or elderly people-its way too dangerous!!!! Owners should be ashamed-- too many tickets sold for the space--just a terrible venue--I am so glad this is my first and last visit to this horrible place!! Only positives--singers were great--sound system and large screens were good--Hope the farmers get some of the money from the Farm Aid Concert--I have my doubts....

Attended Farm Aid 2019 and was subjected to totally unsafe conditions. Concert was overcrowded. Security was protecting VIP walkways exclusively while lawn walkways were left totally jammed by concertgoers and completely impassable (if you could even find them). The only way to reach restrooms was to pick your way up a steep, muddy and very slippery hill while tripping over other attendees. I am 63 y/o and fell four times while spectators laughed. I did complain to security who agreed it was unsafe but made no move to correct it or any offer any assistance. DO NOT ATTEND A CONCERT HERE IF YOU VALUE YOUR SAFETY.

I'm hoping to meet up with friends coming from another direction before entering the venue. Are there some easily identifiable spots on the grounds outside of the gates? Thanks!

Has anyone ever scheduled a Lyft back to Milwaukee after a show? Was it impossible to fine them? Suggestions on best pick up location? Any info would be apreciated. Going to Farm Aid and need a ride back to MKE after...

I don't have a solution for this question as we are in the same thinking. There is a specific "Location" where folks are dropped of and or picked up. It's before you actually get in the venue. If one would know the TYPE and Color of the vehicle picking you up, that would help immensely. Waiting to see others answers on this.

I cannot see anywhere to stay or how to get back to Chicago after farmaid without driving. I’m from Scotland so not familiar with the local area. Thanks for any advice.

When we went to a show there this summer we stayed at a great little place just outside Lake Geneva on Lake Como called The French Country Inn, see review I did of them on here, and there are also plenty of places in Lake Geneva as well. We also found a great Transportation Company to take us to the concert and pick us up afterwards for $50 each way, it's about a 30 minute drive. They are called Red White and Blue Shuttle and Brad is the dispatcher I worked with. They pick up at a lot of different hotels in the area and charge you based on the distance. Their number is 262.903.8800.
