And because Bryan Adams and the Beach Boys are performing on the opening day, the free admission before noon (that's typically offered on day 1) is moved to Sunday, August 22nd.

If you plan on going during that time, watch out for all the cheapo Asians!

Yep, got it figured out. You gotta fight fire with fire.

Anyway, free on second day is awesome. a lot of vendors are not fully ready on day one.



Things not to buy at PNE. That hose sprayer thing. It's less than half the PNE price on Amazon. Product is good, just not the price.



Any other ripoffs, please post in this thread.

Remember back in the late 90's when PNE says they have to move out of Hastings year after year?

I think moving from Hastngs Park would have killed the PNE.

On a side note, I hope the roller coaster stays forever at Hastings Park. Wooden ones like that are nearly extinct.

Except for Asians. Through wind, rain, hail, and sleet, Asians will endure and prevail for freebies.

There are discounts on admission and ride tickets, so if any of you know of any, post them here.

Probably a one time promotional thing. Could be they realized too many people were getting gold cards just to get into the PNE, LOL.

Is street parking on Hastings still free if you get there early enough? If so, what is the time limit? I'm assuming it is something like 2 hours.

Fo sho but for many walking 25 mins vs paying $30 for parking is way better. Plus going to PNE/Playland involves a full day of walking anyways, whats another 25mins. Personally I rather pay haha fuck I'm lazy.

Yeah, I also noticed there was tons of traffic on the Hwy 1 at the McGill exit around 1pm. I was wondering what was going on - I'm guessing it's the PNE.

People are charging $20 to park on their street or driveway...

I thought they had made it illegal.?? Beats paying $30.

There are about 15 houses that can legally sell spots. As for the rest yes it is illegal.

It is illegal, and they have cars patrolling the area (saw 2 within 3 minutes and they approached a lady selling a spot)
