Maybe with people struggling to make ends meet in this economy and the fact ticket prices are high, it might be a sign for PNE to think about adjusting their prices.
With lower attendance, the merchants, who no doubt are struggling already with higher material costs, might decide it's time to call it quits. Hopefully, it's the poor air quality that's keeping people from attending.
It was $7.00 entry day, as well.......... so maybe air quality. https://clk.ticketleader.ca/e/es?s=6...id=691&elqat=1

I guess people are staying in due to the smoke. | Yup went to Playland yesterday got there around 5pm and stayed till 1030 but holy it was quiet as hell on the rides side.
This is the 2nd time I've gone and just a FYI to people who are going and plan to play games they've changed the pricing model now which might be a good thing or bad thing depending on how you look at it. In the past you pay money for x amount of balls etc for a chance to win prizes. Now they straight up have a price tag on each of the size of prices so you're essentially just buying it at a jacked up price. Note this doesn't apply to all games, like some of the ones where you can win crazy prices like a PS5 for example. My son really wanted this slothy doll which was an extra large size at the stupid kids fishing game, $40 lol jesus fuck. It made it ok because on our way out a group of teens/early 20 year old boys wanted to get more players to join the scooby doo racing game, you know the one where you roll a ball and depending on where it lands the scooby doo (they have a horse version) moves and a certain distance. Anyway they needed more players to get to the larger prizes and my son (age 9) fucking smoked them the next closest scooby only made it half way down the track it was pretty funny and the boys defeated look was also hilarious.

Opening weekend is historically low attendance. Everyone goes final weekend before school starts.

Gotta think that the Richmond Night Market and other events, like the Greater Van food truck festival and beer festivals, have taken some of the business away from the PNE as well, at least when it comes to food offerings and the "vibe".
West Coast Amusements does pop up carnivals across the Lower Mainland at various times of the year too. People don't need to wait for the PNE to get their fix of low budget rides and mini donuts in either.
I'm not that old and I remember when the PNE used to give away tickets to kids during report card season. Yes, the economics are challenging, but times are rough for the demographic they're trying to attract (RS families in detached houses notwithstanding). They need to get people in the door and you can't do that when they're charging adults $20.

Shit me not, I'm going to be the first RS member to reach 100 and still be alive and posting shit..............

Lol, we used to go every year before school started with those free tickets. Since I graduated elementary, I've probably only gone to the PNE like less than three times.

Went to PNE yesterday (Sunday). Bought the tickets ahead of time for $7 discount price. I was expecting long line ups at the front gate at 11am, turns out to be quite short. Inside was less busy than I expected it would be.
$7 tickets sure, I will go, but not $20 reg price. Even the buy one get one Friday deal seems a bit much.
Lots of food truck options. Wanted to try a few places but each one costs anywhere from $12-20. Just getting way too expensive everywhere.

The change with 2006 is when my wife and I started dating and her parents lived by the PNE and would get 4 free tickets every year and since we had our first kid 9 years ago we have just made it a yearly thing to go with them.

Even the drinks are pricy at the PNE.
$10 one oz. cocktails of cheap booze?
That with entrance ticket ($25), concert tickets ($80 each, my GF is a retard booking those seats..), food, drinks.
Pricy lil night.

I think the issue is that it used to be free, then it was $20 GA, now it’s $80+ for the prime seats

Is TLC worth going back to watch a second time? Seems like their set-list would be pretty repetitive at this point in their careers, but I guess nothing beats the power of nostalgia.

For the record we were both too full from all the donuts and shitty food anyways

Chili still looks like she's in her 20s, that blew my mind how good she still looks in her 40s.
Here's a trick that my dummy GF didn't realize, for any of these concerts.
Book the cheapest seats possible, way up in the bleachers, pay like $20 for those seats.
Don't even bother sitting in your seat, just stand in the GA area and watch the show, you'll be grabbing drinks at the bar anyways. Security doesn't bother checking unless you go into the seating up front.
Doing it that way, the concerts are cheap, they're all short sets anyways (no openers or anything), you don't need to actually sit.

For those who have gone already, do they still have those refillable cups? They're plastic with a handle and flex straw.

In regards to the souvenir cup for soda refills, didn't get a chance to ask around, but there were people asking me where I got mines. Told them to check the Snack Shop to see if there were any.
I utilized all my cups for soda, slushie, and popcorn refills
