A few concerts are already sold out. Billy idol is for sure can’t remember the other one.
Picked up my free tickets for living in the hood, what a shit show after waiting for 25 minutes I became “that guy” who struggles at the front of the line because they don’t accept property taxes as proof you live there :/

Do the locals just get admission or are there any other perks (e.g. discounts for the live shows)?
Grew up next to the PNE before they had this, but mum still lives there.

There is a neighborhood day where you get free playland ride passes for up to 4 people and a few little minor things but that’s about it

I haven't been to a PNE Summer Night Concert in 5+ years, before reserved seating was really a thing.
How hard is it to get a free ticket in the morning? And if you have a free ticket, what time do you actually need to show up to get a decent viewing angle for the show?

Free tickets are done for the average person.
Popular concerts people are lining up at 10am to get the tickets they hand out at 5-6
It’s either reserved seating or the beer garden

Good to know. I remember seeing Kevin Costner and his band play at the PNE a decade ago. We were just able to walk up and watch when it started, not that many people. Seems like it is a whole different ball game now.

Another friend tried to buy a ticket 2 weeks ago and the tickets were all sold out.
I loved the Doobie Brothers concert 2 years ago with the summer sky as a backdrop. My all time favorite show was Hall and Oates about 6 or 7 years ago!

You mean like watching the drive in movies from the hill two miles out?
I was going to say, like when I was a kid, but thing is, they didn't have drive in movies back then, gulolol.

The beer garden where the dueling pianos is plays the live feed and the music over the speakers, which, imo is a better scenario because you can be drinking while watching
However, even the beer garden fills up/lines up quick when big acts are on

On a side note, PNE prize home tickets used to be affordable.

Grew up next to the PNE before they had this, but mum still lives there. | 4 free tickets to pne + 1 VIP ticket to the show home + ticket for up to 4 guests for an exclusive night to Playland opened only to people in the hood.
Also if you live within an even smaller range than their usual pne radius you also get free fright night passes in October
