| The Official 2010 PNE Thread
Starts this Saturday. No free admission on Saturday (opening day), but free on Sunday from opening to 12 noon. As long as you get in before noon, you're good to go.
I used my Gold Card to get in for free a few times last year, but it seems it ain't gonna happen this year. Admission thses days is like 20 bucks, for crying out loud. Being a typical frugal Asian, I go on opening day when it is free and that's it.
There are discounts on admission and ride tickets, so if any of you know of any, post them here.

Are they still doing the same shit every year? I haven't gone in a few years. Working at PNE/Playland has ruined it for me.

Wow, I'm not sure how old most of you are, but the PNE parade decades ago was huge. It stretched from Burrard and Georgia area to Hasings and Clarke.
It was always televised and people lined the streets and buildings to watch it. If they had such an event nowadays, the clean up would take two weeks.

Everyone loves a parade.
With that in mind, organizers of the annual PNE have been planning since 2003 for a giant parade to celebrate the fair's 100th anniversary.
About $500,000 has been spent on the extravaganza that starts Friday at 7 p.m. in Stanley Park and winds down Beach Avenue, ending at Sunset Beach in Vancouver's West End.
The kickoff for the annual PNE is a throwback to the event's heyday, when a parade was held each year to mark the opening of the late-August festivities.
The last PNE parade was in 1995, and PNE organizers say tonight's free parade is a one-shot deal.
"We have been planning this parade for a long time," says PNE president and CEO Mike McDaniel.
"With more than 2,000 participants and 12 giant parade balloons similar to those seen in the Macy's parade in New York City, this is going to be a spectacular night," he adds.
McDaniel points out that while organizers want to celebrate the fair's history, the parade will have a contemporary "Disney-esque style" complete with a soundtrack.
"People have these incredible memories of the PNE parade," says McDaniel. "But this is not going to be like 25 years ago."
Still, given that it's a historic summer for the PNE, the floats and participants will pay tribute to the memorable events that have taken place at the fair.

Yup, the parade has created a headache for us and a couple other productions filming downtown today, namely with transport and logistics, oh well, its a one time thing at least.

BTW, here's the thread from where I got the information: RFD.

I've heard that if you buy tickets using the PNE app on your iPhone, you save $5 off admission. Not confirmed though.

Bryan Adamns and the Beach boys will open for the PNE and there will be a very special Parade that starts from Stanley park. There's many more events and attractions at the PNE. I for one will definitely attend this years as it's a bit different than many others.
