On Tuesday, August 24, 2010 from 11:00am onwards, Vancity members can purchase a Fair Gate Pass for only $5 each for themselves and one friend. With the ticket prices at $20 each, that’s a savings of $15 per person.
Tickets can be purchased at any PNE ticket booth on that day only by showing a Vancity MEMBER CARDŽ debit card or Vancity enviro Visa* card. Vancity employees, along with President & CEO Tamara Vrooman will be on-hand at the main gate at Hastings and Renfrew to greet members, answer questions, and encourage participation in games for a chance to win great prizes.

when we were cutting the free admission, I yelled out "less than 2 mins" and people started running. Eventually people were denied the free admission. Like com'on, you have 3 hrs to get there and you wait until the last few mins...geez

Just got back from a day at the PNE. Same old stuff, but a good experience nonetheless. My favourite free moment was at the News 1130 booth. You get to play announcer and have the session e-mailed to you. I had a bit of fun, but didn't go the nine yards. I stated my name as 89blkcivic from revscene. I was going to say a few funny things that included the use of El Bastardo, Skinny Pup, and Vansterdamn, but decided not to. I just read out the script they give you. They won't play it on air or anything, but they will send you the session for kicks. It has the familiar music background playing as you make the announcements.
I wanted to upload the mp3 file on RS, but didn't know how.
I dare any of you to do a funny revscene related newscast and upload it here. It's free and it is fun.
The other fun free thing was at the BC Sports Hall of Fame. You get to create a baseball, hockey, basketball, etc. card with your picture and stats, and get it e-mailed to you.
If any of you are into cotton candy, there's a place just inside the Pacific Coliseum main doors. One BUCK each!! Only thing is, they don't have bags. You frugal Asians need to bring your own bags so you can take it home to your families. They're not that big, but worth it for a buck.
One thing to avoid. The motorsport show called "On the Edge." Wow, that was one lame show. Maybe it was me, but it was a total waste of my time.
Lumberjack show was the same as previous years, maybe smaller.
Oh, I got free parking by the elementary school a block away from Hastings. Went at around 8:45 am.

The acrobats were very good a couple of years back. I was sad last year when it was the celts who performed. This year acrobats are back again!
How was the finale kaboom compared to last year?

I don't know what prizes are available, but there should be a game where you have to toss a ring on to a bottle.
Apparently the trick is to throw two at the same time. That way, if the bottom ring hits the correct part of a bottle and deflects upwards, the upper ring will prevent it from flying away, sending it back down.

Easiest game to win, IMO. Yes, I have won that game many times already.
