PNC Bank Arts Center

Of course you should bring an 11 year old!! It's never too early to teach a child about good music. My mom took me to PNC in 1984 to see Billy Idol. We'll be at the Slayer show together 🤘🏻

How early can you tailgate in parking lot

Going tonite great line up!!!

Unless something has changed recently, I am pretty sure they won't scan a PDF (or other image) of a physical ticket on your phone. I would print it out if you can, just to be safe.

If it's clear

Yes it's free

If you have VIP lounge tickets there is food and places to sit down. If you do not have that, they have limited food access.

I was just there last week and a couple ppl had RVs there. They were off to the side in VIP section on the grass.

You are allowed one unopened water & food in a clear plastic bag. I go to several shows a year there.

The chairs cost $5 to rent... At least that's what they told me at orientation, because I just started to work there...

They've got plenty

Nope

It needs to be something real small and they do check everything

I saw plenty of handicap parking in red

Yes, handicap parking is free, and right next to an entrance.

No , but they do have access for handicap and special seating.

Yeah I don't think they're going to take seats out for mosh pit lol

Nicole good question. I just showed my results but I wasn't verified. They did make sure it was within the time frame of the 48 hours. I assume because who would take a covid test for someone else just to give them the results to get in. I know the paper I printed had a bar code but I didn't see them scan that. The purse thing was online. It had to be under a certain size. I didn't bother bring one myself since my crossover was considered too big. Which in my opinion is dumb since it's on the small size.

To arm the enemy with same destructive tools that hurt our own.

Yes

Rent can bring something to sit on ( blanket)

ENTER FROM NORTHBOUND! If you are traveling south to PNC, go PAST and turn around at the next exit. I'm certain I saved over an hour this way.

Yes

I don't think it makes a difference with the change in traffic pattern they may have depending on the expected rush..

Yes I believe you can.

Should be good to go

Yes

It's a great show he's phenomenal. Some songs might be a little inappropriate some might be a little scary, he is very intense but it's a great show. Depends on what you are ok with your kids seeing.

Yes, you can bring in a blanket.

Sure

Yes, the also have lawn seating.

Yes

Lawn chairs are not allowed to be brought in but can be rented inside. Umbrellas, I believe, are not allowed because they'll obstruct view. Sheets and blankets are fine.

You have to rent them. There is no grass it's all dirt and most people are standing so if you sit you can't see anything.

No.

Make them aware

No food, no chairs either. You must rent their chairs.

No & that's what passed me off!!

You are correct you can't bring your own chairs but you can rent them for only 5 dollars it's not bad because you don't have to worry about returning them and just leave them on the lawn and not have to carry your own chair back to the car.. You can bring your own if you plan to come early and hang out by your car but you can't bring it in to the event. It's better because if you need to go to the bathroom you don't have to worry someone. Will take your chair.

Yes, blankets were allowed in both concerts I attended this season.

Yes for concerts. Otherwise it is free. Figure 30-40 for the preferred parking. Alcohol is allowed. Tailgating is allowed

One time I got there 3 hours in advance no one said anything

As stated, its all about how far you're willing to travel. There are plenty of beaches within 20 minutes of the PNC Bank Arts Center. But you'll find closer accommodations in Hazlet and Middletown.

Sunday and Monday Closed except on event days. Tuesday - Friday 12pm to 6pm Saturday 12pm - 4pm

Can you please give the proper website to go to. I really want to take my son

I cant answer that sorry. I would assume if they sit in a seat then yes youll have to pay.

There are quite a few restrooms located along the entire perimeter

Nope

Yes, the majority of their shows have free shuttles taking people from the venues to the parking lots and vice versa.

Unless specified no

I read an article that said they were discontinuing ethnic heritage festivals at PNC because of low attendance. You can always check the event schedule on PNC's website.

I think they only cancel for lightning. I've been there during torrential downpours, but there was no lightning, so the show went on.

It was originally the Garden State arts center. It became the pnc arts center in the later 90s

Yes they are cashless also

Box Office Opens: 12:00 PM Parking Lots Open: 3:00 PM VIP Club Opens: 5:00 PM Gates Open: 5:00 PM

Last month I went to a concert and they had a school bus go from parking lots

Only clear bags they sell them on Amazon. Have to be a certain size too. U can see it on their website.

There was a shuttle running from the parking lot

Yes

Get off @ Matawan RR.They have shuttles that run to there.Idk why Hazlet doesn't. It's literally one straight run to get there.

It's not there anymore

Doubtful but they may give you an exception. Pretty easy to deal with.

Yes

Clear plastic only. You can go to the pnc live Nation site for exact size. You are also allowed one sealed bottle of water. There are water stations in the venue so you can refill as much as needed.

If you are referring to the holiday lights, it's open until 10pm on a Monday. Rain or shine, it is a drive through show

11pm

On weekends 40 dollars a car

No

It usually starts the week before Thanksgiving, this year specifically it started the 19th of November.

You can download it on your phone

If you're on the lawn you sit wherever you like. We did.

I was there on the 26th of September and they didn't ask or check for proof of vaccination. Very few people wore masks and it wasn't mandatory either. It's an outdoor venue so they have more leeway.

You will be fine

There were NO problems entering PNC Art center. No vaccination card checks. I just went to see korn there. Had an awesome time. Masks are optional.

Negative COVID test taken within 48 hours. Or full vaccination at least two weeks since last shot. (Some artists have 72 hours for test. Dmb- 48)

Not until October 8tg

Don't know, but I think gates. That's early for a week night start.

Ticketmaster

You needed a negative test or vaccine card last weekend for maroon 5.

There no Covid-19 Protocols in place. No proof of being vaccinated or masks are necessary.

I had a bad experience with a broker. Ended up taking my money, but this was years ago. Keep trying if not try the box office to see if it's there. I hope you got. Confirmation of payment.

No proof of vaccination is required at PNC Bank Arts Center and there are no Covid Protocols in place.

🔼8 smells the same

yes. you can enter between Holmdel High school and the police station

You are allowed a sealed plastic water bottle in clear plastic bag. There are refill stations inside for free use

No but you can rent one for $5 or get one for free if you have tmobile!

Wasn't when I went last week. I have tickets for September 10th concert, and received notice that for that show, proof of vaccination or a negative test will be required, and masks are strongly suggested.

No

Nope

Not sure. Tix go for $35

Blankets, or rent chairs.

No box office. You must buy tickets online or call a suggested ticket broker. The service fee is $30 per tkt.on top of the chosen ticket face value.

You can bring a blanket for the lawn but no chairs. They rent them for $5. You can bring a clear plastic bag for your stuff. They'll check them both tho. Bag and blanket.

No an it opens an hour before the show u can however bring a blanket or towel and they do have chair rentals

There is VIP Parking which enables you to park in the first lot group closet to the entrance gates. It does cost extra and can be bought at the same time as purchasing your tickets or as long as still available up to the time of the show!

No you dont...... it's a really good idea. To get vaccinated although..... me and my better half. Just saw Luke Bryan and Dylan Scott ....WHAT A SHOW IT WAS AWESOME....... ANYHOW..... THERE wasn't anyone wearing masks. And nobody ask if we were vaccinated

I believe they are doing 4 of these events through the season. From what I was told, they are: 8/26 7:30pm - Cousin Brucie's Palisades Park Reunion featuring: Tony Orlando and Bobby Rydell and the Capris 9/8 1:30pm - Vinnie Medugno and the Coda Band with the Chiclettes 9/14 1:30pm - Gary Puckett and The Association 9/28 1:30pm - Jay Siegel's Tokens and Ron Dante

Look on their Facebook page they post info for each show. I believe lot opens 4pm for all shows.

Its posted as being 1 hr prior to gates being opened on the website!

Yes, as long as there are tickets

There are no elevators, but there are ramps to the area with seats as well as to the lawn. Buses are still running from the parking lots

Depends on who's playing but normally it's about 630 or 7

Last I heard it's still pretty up in the air since they haven't officially opened yet. My guess, based on many other businesses and venues I've been to/seen, it'll be masked staff, unmasked guests. But that could be wrong based on what Live Nation and other higher-ups decide closer to the first event.

Not sure about that might want to call the Art Center

Got me. I know the schedule is out, maybe around 20 shows on the schedule

Well you went on Friday for the first very and it is a wonder I walk on Sundays debt to be open with more reason than most people rest that day and go out with their fans

Yes get there at 4 they get 3000 cars a day

No but cheaper on the site

Thank you 🤗

If it's $30 if you pay there and if you want to pay online it's $25

If you pay, I don't know if 20 or 30 per car but it's worth it, it's very nice. The day I went it was raining a little and I entered for free but if I would pay, it's worth it.

Some shows have been rescheduled, but all shows cancelled until further notice

I am not sure, call the box office and ask.

Yes

No close but not there take train to Matawan then uber there

I would definitely call them Monday thru Friday for that kinda question. I would like to give you an answer but would just be guessing and that would be wrong. Happy New year and Good Luck with your question.

Yes.Enjoy the show.

30.00 per car at the gate.

11pm

Buy online for 25, 30 at the gate. They charge per vehicle.

It's a Groupon

Not sure of the answer but we rented chairs. 5.00 per chair. I believe your better off renting in the event something happens to it. (Spilled beer, food, or theft)

Pick a spot wherever you want. Its rowed in the system so they can keep track of how many tickets are sold, before their sold out, it doesn't effect you, your free to sit wherever you like. Best spots are by the walkways down to the beer stands away from the front of a pillar on stage so ypu have easy access in and out freely as desired without getting crammed in.

You can't bring chairs in. They will rent them to you. Any blanket is permissable.

No chairs are allowed in the venue. You can bring a blanket or buy one for 5 dollars. If you have tmobile then at the current time you can get up to 4 chairs free

People stand close to the stadium entrance selling tickets so you can probably find one if needed

They were smoking all over the place

12noon

95.9 WRAT

Yes

Parking lot is probably open now

Pretty sure they just refund everyone's ticket

Its best to check their website for an update.

Umbrellas are allowed, as well as backpacks under 16"x16"x18"

Not allowed

Especially if you go there before the event

Yes, tailgating is always allowed in the parking lots

Not sure of the price but they are low lawn chairs. However I believe your allowed to bring you own chair but jo higher then 9inchs off the floor.

There are lawn chairs available for rent. It is safe for the whole family.

No.

They have a special section for handicap as long as you have a handicap tag

I live in Plainfield, NJ. It's 35 mins from my house. I am about 1 hour to 1.5 hours from Manhattan.

What are you buying a space for? I didn't know you could do that... And why would you want to? If you get there early enough... There is good parking. If you come from North...pass the parking on South bound side...go to next exit and come back... Park in additional lot... Then you can get out of there in pretty good timing after the event.

Never yet.

They still charge you facility fees and tax but if you live close by then it's worth it to avoid the Internet fees. Box office hours vary, check their website, also if there is a concert that day their open all day and you can just tell the parking attendants that you just want to go to the box office to buy tickets for another day and tell let you park up by the box office

yes

That is a horrible experience to have! Live Nation or PNC Bank Arts Center should be able to give you answers as to what will be done for you, be it rescheduling or refunding. Contact them with your questions and don't let them put you off! Sorry to hear about this awful experience! Good luck

Go to the garden state arts foundation. There will be a contact number for you to call

General parking is free. Great place, big place, I like so much.

Go online to see. These storms are passing through.

Free

I drive so wouldn't know.

You'll be guided in to drop off area by lot attendants.

Hey there early

Better online

I would call the box office just in case

No clue

Blankets and cushions ok but no chairs they have rentals inside

Good Question.... I hope someone can answer it for you....

If you need earplugs you shouldn't be at a concert

Bring subs and beer. Tailgate like it's a football game.

Go on their website and there is a link to upgrade tickets or you can wait until you go thru the gate and there's 2 booths where they will upgrade them

When we arrived one hour before the concert, people were already there, and most were tailgating. Grills, food, etc.

Doors open 1 hour before the show. The parking lot opens roughly 3 hours before

Yes you can pay for parking through the app and that ticket will be available in the app

I think only in the parking lot. You should call and check on that so there are no surprises. A lot of people tailgate. Concession stands inside at Concerts is how they make their $ much like the Movie Theatres. So ya never know.

Can not bring your own - must rent them at venue

Yes, they have a box office at the venue.

You could wear a backpack if you need to but be prepared to have it searched and you'll have to discard any food or drinks especially alcohol.

Yessssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My guess is yes

Yes

Yes! There's a metal detector/bag check on your way in though, bags can't be any larger than about an 18 inch backpack, I believe.

Around 5 o'clock

You can only bring the small mini umbrellas with the collapsible handle

Yes you can bring lawn chairs

You can bring in a bottle if water sealed. You can also bring in small snack bars or pretty much anything pocket size... hint hint

I would get there about an hour and a half there is usually a lot of walking. Then security, then walking and finding your seat. But the concerts are well worth it. If you get there at 4 you can tail gate and that's a lot of fun too...

Yes. If your tailgate, get there as close to 4pm as you can.

At least 2 hours before the show!

Check with the box office

Yes, but it'lll be searched. Best to use a clear plastic/stadium bag. They come in all sizes.

Go on the website

I would contact the box office. But they have specific wheelchair areas. So you probably need a ticket and use the ramps to sit there. Also there is a handicap entrance by where handicap parking is. Usually the businesses don't read these threads so for s p.o specifics you should contact them directly.

What time dose the concert close today

They have several free lots with bus transportation to the venue.

Usually two or three hours before the show

Will have to call

Which gates? The gates into the venue? It really depends on the start time of the event.

I was told it's an eight dollar fee per ticket when I called the box office.

There is no reserved lawn seats. To many drunks in that area. Its horrible after any type of rain. Get a seat in the 100s, 200s, 300s, 400s first.

N

Tuesday-Friday 12PM-6PM Saturday 12PM-4PM Closed Sunday and Monday

Give them a call see what's your options.

The chairs suck. Not comfortable at all. There are lines sometimes to get the chairs but after the show I just left it where it was on the lawn. Don't know if they ever run out.

I do not believe so..however that is a good idea to have one there..the bathrooms have outlets

I don't know... wish I can help

Yes. Anyone any age

Please give them a call.

No. They rent out chairs

Sorry Don't know.

I'm over 6 feet tall and find the seats uncomfortable. Not much leg room.

He's right Ticket master or box office

No

Don't think so. With the roof design it is cool underneath

Yes you can.

Ticketmaster. Every show I have ever been to at pnc, Ticketmaster/Livenation sold the tickets.

Yes, however you will get better deals online for sure.

Ticketmaster or another ticket site.

The parking is free but there is a entrance fee.

Black Sabbath's tour was canceled because Ozzy Osbourne has to have hand surgery

Sunday to Thursday 10pm Friday and Saturday 11pm

Yes, Mahic of Lights

Don't know

Yes you can just get their super early

Been answered by everyone

There is no fee and they have handicap parking

A small bag, one bottle of water is allowed. If you are on lawn then a blanket is fine. But expect to be checked snd the go through your bag extremely well.

Try NJ Transit or Path from Grand Central or Penn Ststion

It probably matters on the show.

stone sour

VIP parking is good

I neva asked a question I jus answer them. So this 1 I can't.

No clue, I drive from S.I.

yes

hi Linda. I work security at pnc. yes u can bring it in of course! enter through the ADA gates for easy entry for you and you'll walk in and go to your right where there is a ramp you can use to get down to the theater to your seats.

It's free to sit in the family area

Yup

Call the venue for specific details..they do have a limo lot

I'm not sure. We BBQ in the yard before we go any shows.

Ask on the FB event page.

Def per person

Yes...but carry your ticket with you

No, nothing higher than the sand chairs

If you think the music is appropriate for him. What do you think

If he the opening act then you're looking at 8 pm or 8:15 pm. I recommend that to get there early to find your seat or if you're on the lawn then to get a good spot

There are plenty of people there to guide you in

George Washington bridge to NJ turnpike south to exit 11 Garden State Parkway south to exit 116 PNC Art Center

They can via NJT, they have shuttles.

No outside lawn chairs can be brought in anymore. You can rent them once inside

Yes

Unopened

It really depends on the concert you go to. Some wull allow the camera while others restrict what kind of camera is permitted

Yes, they even have picnic tables scattered around the main lots ... Just no gas grills

Shuttles are available. Umbrella is a no go. She might freak out and throw it like a spear at the lead singer if he doesn't play what she wants to hear.

I saw shuttles last weekend when I was there. The shuttles seem to be a problem at the end of the concert when everyone is trying to leave. I say no on the umbrella. They were taking small things from peoples bags that I have no clue why.

If it says show Starts at 7 pm (1900) thats when the show starts. The gates usually opens up two hours before.

Parking lot sounds about right!

If your an old timer like me you remember when The PNC art centert was the garden State art center. The main lot is no longer free its now Premium parking for like $50.. Whst used to be known as the over flow lot is now the general parking and that is free. Get there eatly. , If you show up close to show time youll be parking way far away out towards the grass next to the Parkway.

Are his grades below a C? Then, sure, his life is already sloping downwards. Make sure you count his face tattoos before he leaves so you can identify the body.

Yes they can park in normal spot

Yes when you pull into the venue they will direct you and there will be signs

I believe the gates open 1 hour prior to the show.

No

Call

Backstage

Its stated that no reentery but had a friend who was allowed to re enter after losing her wallet in the parking lot.

No sure

Get lawn and when u get there upgrade your seats

Check the pnc arts center website the day of the event and it usually shows start times for the artists.

Yes , over the past two years my wife and i had lawn seats for the country mega ticket. We werre able to bring in a bag with chips and bottled ( unopenef ) in to the. Concert

5 dollars

You can camp in cheesequake state park. Never have but have seen tents and campers. Not sure of the facilities

Where are you traveling from. There are no trains nearby, but there is a New Jersey transit park and ride there, so busses definitely travel there.

I think that would be allowed, i saw special seating areas ( covered) in the lawn section but i would call ahead anyway kust to be sure

You can buy tickets but I don't know how much

It varies from show to show ie who's playing. Generally you can find cheaper tickets on line the day of any show because any venue would rather sell a seat than not. We saw 30 seconds to Mars a few weeks ago. I got same day tickets online 200 section for $22 each.

Tesla 7-7:50pm; Styx 8:05-9:20pm; Joan Jett 9:40-10:55pm

I dont think they'll care as long as you have a ticket. Get lawn seats so he can move around a bit. No five year old can sit in a seat that long!

You have to rent a chair. Enjoy the show

Its usually on rain or shine, but severe thunderstorms are predicted along with flooding so i would definitely call

Never had to show my VIP ticket for parking a few weeks ago. Not even sure how they regulate who goes in there.

If there's any available

Yes I agree, they will be towing your csr

Website

Go early and tailgate. Food is okay but beer is expensive inside.

Yes at the box office window, but you got the risk to not find anything on the same day. I'll recomend stop by there, a week or more days prior the show.

No. You can't.

You can rent beach chairs

Let the mudfest begin!!!

If it has a removable lens, they will not allow it.

All sections except for lawn

Yes that is true

Usually about 2 hours before the gates open.

Probably at will call but call to make sure before you go.

What I would do is to call the box office this week and ask them exact question. They're pretty helpful at answering questions

you cannot bring your own chair. when we went to the Dierks concert in May 2018, rental prices were $5/chair.

You mean an opening act? Peter Wolf and Atlanta Rhythym Section

Not sure but know you can bring an unopened bottle of water per person.

Yes

As far as I know only Lauren seats but the last time I was there in the beginning of May they did not allow any lawn chairs call to confirm

Yes there is Ubers drop people off at the parking area

Well, no airports are particularly close to my knowledge. But, Newark international may be your best option, as it isnt too far north of the venue.

Privately owned chairs are now banned

There is no metal detector at this location guards use a wand you can ask to be patted down

This is my 14th Slayer show. Usually don’t come on till 9 or after. Depending on local curfews for noise

Call them.

It was a great concert. Each act better than the next.

I believe water is fine.

No

There is a handicap accessible walk way on the south side of the entryway. . That will bring you upnto the lawn area.

Not sure what you're referring to but parking is free. Unless you want to park in the first few rows up front. Then you need to pay for premium parking online.

At the bottom of the great lawn across from lot 5

Correct train is the North Jersey Coast Line rather than the NE Corridor to Mattawan/Aberdeen

Gonto the web site

The parking lot opens 2 hours before the time of the event

You are allowed to bring an umbrella if there is thunder and lightning the concert will probably be canceled

For sure.

You get wet...

Check the website

Lawn seats go on sale the same time as reserved seating in the theater

Wouldn't have it been easier to just check the website?

no

Call the PNC box office

The past 2 years ive been going down there to see concerts my wife . were able to bring in a ciuple of sealed water bottles each and bags of chips n stuff. We had lawn seats and bought our own chairs . They were the low height beach chairs. They didnt alow your chairs ina bag like you use to watch your kids games

No outside food or beverages. Possibly an unopened water, 1 liter or smaller. At the Susquehanna center you can bring water

It just cant be used in the seating area. Lawn, food stands, and vendor areas are fine.

No

I believe they're only open during concerts. Tickets would probably need to be purchased online or by phone

No, you'll get inside. They're just going to scan your ticket

Never heard of free parking for Cadillacs in VIP... But general parking has always been free whenever I've been there.

Al is incorrect. There are seats and lawn seats. Big difference.

Better to have seats then lawn. Judy Ann nailed all the points.

You can buy tickets at there box office

nice while it lasted

The photographer should've handed you a card. The information on how to obtain your picture is on it.

I third that- all GA!

I guess depends on severe weather like a hurricane I've been to shows in the thunderstorms .. you can't bring umbrellas , ponchos work well

I don't think so. Call them, they should have taped information. Good luck
