PNC Music Pavilion

Yes you would need to..or you will be on the ground

Yes, you are allowed to bring one clear water bottle

Everyone should boycott a few concerts and maybe they would lower the prices, but yeah, I know that would never happen!!

I have never had those tickets,but I hear it's very nice .... It be worth looking into I bet....

I dont think so

Yes cigerettes anything else you would have to basically smuggle in and smoke at your own risk 😉

Yes, as long as the lens is under a certain size. Would need to go online and check specifications..

Yes you can!

I had mine stolen last year. Never got any responses. I think there are ppl who go there just to do that. Sorry

There is, although I don't know how long they hang on to stuff.

Yes I'm almost positive. No bags unless they're clear tho

Are the drinks still expensive?

If your event has a HEALTH CHECK requirement you do. You have to show ID with either your covid vaccine or negative covid test. And likely if you get a $39.99 covid test at the venue you need ID.

Yes, but the chairs can't have a shade over the top, nor can the chairs have those leg recliners

Yes

Yes. They check though it entirely tho.

Yes you can. You can even pick what seats you want.

Located directly to the right of section 1 and left of section 2 under the cover. They are visible from all areas. How well depends on your eyes. I have very poor sight and was able to see as I entered the venue.

No they do not but you can take lawn chairs & ponchos. Or blankets

Idk if they have it setup where you could slide in amd out i would doubt it so you woukd hit concert traffic of course but like i wrote about it i was back on the interstate in juat a few minutes

There are food stands inside the venue.

You can bring your own low folding chairs for the lawn but you can save lugging them and rent chairs there for $10 each.

I believe so but the best answer would be from the venue webpage.

I moved somebody out of my seat personally but the staff will do it for you if you're willing to wait.

No

Yes, you can actually bring own chairs!

Yes

No extra lenses.

Starting Sept 4. All must show proof of vaccination or negative recent Covid test..

I don't think so was just there ?

Only if you are a performing artist or a beer guy.

Ticketmaster, Facebook marketplace along with local groups in your area. Event posting on pnc pavilion facebook page is great too

Regular parking lot or VIP parking.

Included with your ticket.

Yes

Yes!!

You can have bags. They will search them when you enter.

I do not know personally but $12 a can sounds about right.

Yes

Yep

Yes, yes it is.

Any type of bag is allowed. They do have metal detectors and they will do a bag check. Honestly you wouldn't want too big of a bag if you have a seat but the lawn would be a little more spacious.

Yup

Yes

Go have fun. Enjoy yourself. It really would have to be something major. I help build the big pavilion porch. For Prime paving. The master mind of the project really was Jeremiah. Paul and I followed his lead. I myself learned alot. We rebuilt it. I promise you. It will be the safest porch you'll ever stand on. . Murdoch

Yep well worth it to bring your own or bring a blanket

The view from the lawn is good there's a nice slope and they do allow you to bring binoculars been there several times always a good time

You are allowed to smoke on the lawn

Yes.

Not sure I think so.

Yup

Limited to 11'' from the ground

Full size umbrellas will be confiscated and stored. You will be issued a claim ticket and can pick it up after the event.

You can have bags but they have a security team that searches you kind of like TSA at an airport but you cant bring outside food or drinks in

We have taken our pocket size with no problems

On the ground or in the wheelchair?

I agree , any entrance should be able to assist you.,no worries.👍

Good question but I doubt it on a show night unless it is advertised.

Free

Yes, most motorcycle parking is newr the front entrance. Very safe.

No

You can bring it in your car. However the only liquid that comes in with you is a unopened bottle of water

Yes it does.. If you haven't purchased seats, you will have to bring your own or blankets..always take an umbrella because you never know

From what I saw the traffic flow is very good. So, yes, pretty easy.

Yes you can bring chairs but if it's a real good show everybody on the lawn is going to be standard

Free with ticket

Mostly flat & gravel... But you gotta walk

No it doesn’t. I’ve been going there for years never had an issue with a regular purse. They do check them though.

Yes

Most of the shows are for an older audience. There's usually a festive atmosphere fueled by the abundant alcohol sales. I personally wouldn't take my ten year old, but it comes down to what you deem acceptable.

Yes. They'll tell you to meet them at a numbered or lettered section. They have big sign up like parking A. They call you when they arrive and tell you where to go. My Uber experience there was fantastic. I'd leave about 15 before the concert is over and they'll be waiting.

The Hampton Inn was nice with a great breakfast spread and very close to the venue...I enjoyed my stay here

I just think it's a fast pass....

Moves much quicker than expected now that tickets are done mostly on line

Are you talking about taking pictures from the audience, as a professional for PNC or something else?

$13.75 for the beer and $5 for a can of water!

They are about the same. Handicapped Parking is to the right of the gate, Premier is to the left and is a larger lot. If they open Gate 4, handicapped Parking is closest, but I think they only use Gate 4 some of the time. If you are able to let a staff member know you need help, they may be able to help with a golf cart to some point in the lot. There are no guarantees and they don't go everywhere. Inside the venue, there are three pick up/drop off points. One is near the main gate and the others are in the concession/merch areas. They are not necessarily marked but if you ask staff, they will direct you. You still have to walk to your seats, but you'll be fairly close.

Day of show is never cheaper. At s venue like this. The price will remain the same. At a smaller venue the price will typically go up. Ticket fees are not waived by purchasing at the box office (most of the time) If the show doesn't sellout. You could get cheaper tickets last minute through places like, stub hub.

You can park free, but traffic is terrible unless you arrive hours before the show starts. You can pay for preferred parking closer to the venue and be guaranteed a spot, but the traffic is still rough getting in and out.

No they didn't 🙂 no masks either 🙂

Make sure your bag is clear & your wristlet is super small they are very strict on that.

No, they are not making people COVID test.

No, they were not where I was. It was a Great Show, like ALWAYS!!

We got to jimmy Buffett at 4 and lot was open.

Will call is open during normal box office hours day of the show until the main act starts.

Do they make you show test results or anything else bout the covid

Yes they are. Only in tailgate areas!

I think so north Carolina is still mandate it

The closest hotels are about 5 miles away. Just off Burton Smith Blvd

Yes there are plenty on N Tryon

Slipknot was last show I think and it was absolutely awesome

Pretty sure the site says u gotta have both shots atleast a month prior

I was there Sept 10 didn't require either.

I think the gates open at 3

Cans and extremely overpriced.

I just found on their website that they are starting that on October 4th. Thanks for the info all! Update....I'm here now no vaccination or test was required.

Paul pizza is real?

Was there for Jason ALDEAN and no proof but looking at upcoming events if you try and book a event so far September is okay BUT it is showing that YES OCTOBER there will be proof of vaccinations or negative testing 72 hours prior to events.

depends on event

If you don't feel safe here... you might have problems. No need for a weapon.

We paid for premier, and we had to have a ticket to get into that area. We were very close to the gate, and we liked it better than the parking across the street.

No but be respectful and consider wearing one

No but be responsible and respectful in your decision

Yes but not chairs with umbrellas or tops covers on them

No

No restrictions

Call guest services. Or you can also look up the venue on line they will always give you a map of that venue when purchasing your tickets

I work there and there's a standing pit in front of the front row seats there's also a loan area if you're worried about having to look up which is not that high to look up I'll work on getting you a seating chart

They sure do!

Parking lot for non handicap is gravel and its hard to find ur car.Did not c handicap parking but probley si think it's a law.

It's usually about two hours before the show

Also not only do they have assigned smoking areas outside the sheltered seating, but in the lawn section they do have a family section that doesnt allow smoking, but it also doesnt allow drinking alcohol beverages either.

Chairs are good until show starts then everyone standing up in your way

I need VIP parking on July 22 for Luke Bryan concert

Yes there is

Yes!

$25 & up

Personally I always Uber in and out. Parking isn't terrible but getting out is a big pain.

Yes, you can bring in a factory sealed bottle of water. https://www.livenationvenue.com/pnc-music-pavilion-formerly-verizon-wireless-amphitheatre

The parking is normally included in your ticket price, unless you want Premier or VIP parking

You have to have a place card. You dont purchase a handicap parking spot like you pay for the $35 dollar spots.

It depends on when the event starts. Usually between 30 mins to an hour before

No problem

Everyone who answered no was wrong. This section is covered.

You can look online at venue details

Patking for that event opened at 430. Gates at 6

Probably 1 hr before start time

Yes, just have your bag open for security to look through. And you can bring in up to a 1 liter of unopened water. I believe 1 per guest.

No

Yes but only if you don't use it to beat someone over the head like John Cena

There was a chance of showers when we went to see KISS, but I didn't see anyone with umbrellas..

Yes i belive its under one they are free

Open at 3

I cannot answer that as I did not upgrade

Each packages are different for each show.What show are you going too?

Yes and you can also rent some

If they have little chairs or even a blanket as there are overhead screens so they can still see the show if they need to rest. It's a a great time for all!

VIP parking near stage area 40.00

Basic lawn chair they also have chairs you can rent

It's free.

I would say at least 2 hours to get a good parking space close to the exit because it can take up to an hour to get out plus the events before the concert starts.

We parked pretty close they didn't charge us.

Yes

I think the chair legs can be no higher than 9 inches

You will need a chair.

U cant

You can but don't trust much. There is scams

Not what you would like to call walking distance. But by the time yoh get out of traffic, you could have about walked to one, and not needed a DD!!

Marriott Fairfield.

I think you should go to their website and check for times.

You can but a blanket would work just as good

No you dont need one anyway

No but you can bring one bottle of water, a cup with nothing in it.

Actually seats under cover...double lettered rows put you closer to the edge of the covered area away from the stage. (If facing the stage, the seat numbered 1 will be to your right.)

Yes, you can bring your own lawn chair (or rent one for $5). However, it should be lower than the typical lawn chair. Venue requirements prohibit chairs with legs any higher than 9 inches (most beach chairs, Tommy Bahama, for example, fit the requirements) Medically necessary chairs such as wheelchairs and motorized chairs are always allowed, and there are adequate ramps and assistance to comply with ADA requirements.

Yes

In a clear ziplock bag, you can bring snacks in. Like a gallon sized bag.

Clear bags are best to bring

Yes. It needs to be a short chair, like the beach style chairs -- legs no higher than 9 inches. Sometimes they close off the lawn area depending on the size of the anticipated crowd. Then they won't allow lawn chairs.

Gates open at 6:30pm

Don't believe so. They do have a specific Uber/Lyft drop off/pick up area that may be a good choice

As soon as you can!

They take both

$7 for a qt of water

They definitely had tall boys and they're expensive. Pretzel and a bud light $18

As an actual employee of PNC Music Pavilion there are seats for everything except for the grass the grass then you are able to take in blankets or low-back chairs such as low back beach chairs but not camping chairs

As an actual employee of PNC Music Pavilion some parking cost money other parts of the parking lots do not if you bring an RV or anything that is oversized such as a limo then it's $60 for parking regular vehicle parking for general admission usually starts several hours after early parking in early parking passes have to be obtained online

Yes all affixed seating is covered. The lawn is not.

No chair required. Check the website to see exactly where you will be

Yes you can, during Ticket office hours

Always buy direct from the source not from 3rd parties as it could be a scam

Yes

Yes

Inform parking you have an injury and they will direct you to an Ambassador or Guest Services who will take great care of you.

The lot will be open early but inside maybe hour or so before show I think

American but they have amazing food at the pavilion

Probably Homewood suites is the closest

Yes

There is a pick up area across from the entrance for shared rides .

The ones under the covered area are numbered. I believe beyond those it is open

Yes.

Usually the VIP lot opens between 3:30-4 if the gate opens at 6 pm

2 years or younger, children are allowed for free. If older then they need a ticket

No. Only to drink alcoholic beverages.

They were open when the got there at 5:30.

Any reasonable price hotels and motels near the PNC pavilion amphitheatre

No RVs. But tailgating YES! 😁

No

Yes you can purchase at the concert. It's best to book online in advance to in case the show sells out. Lawn seats are fairly inexpensive and you can upgrade when you are there if there is availability

I am here wonderful 💙💙💙💙

Where is the Lyft pickup area at PNC PAVILION?

Yes you can.

Absolutely! Way cheaper than renting chairs at the venue.

Grand Funk Railroad

Yes but the lawn chairs can't exceed 38" or so in height.

Thanks for the feedback and thank you too.

It depends on what show you're attending

Depends on show...like Dave Matthews it's at four

It's a long walk, still. Even with handicap parking. Is he in a wheelchair?

Ya u two go have fun.. better leave me some money tho conrad wes hansen!

I would buy them online thru Ticketmaster.

If show not sold out

You'd have to check their website

They are not allowed

Parking is free.

We had seats on the side and the visibility was just fine. You could also see the monitors very easily.

The only seats that you have to bring is if you have lawn tickets all other seats are provided

Yes they are also can bring own lawn chair

Livenation.com or the PNC box office

If there is an event that day, it's open.

It will tell you when you choose your seat if it's covered or not most of the seats there are covered...

Not that I heard of...great idea!

Only certain events

If they allow under 21 in the event than yes that should not be a problem

Section

PNC Music Pavilion has a capacity of 18768 and is a fantastic venue to see your favorite performers. There are approx 8614 reserved

Yes

Handicap parking is free with a valid handicap plate or placard. Follow the signs for handicap and premier parking, get there early it's first come first serve.

Call up the Ticketmaster you ordered them from. Tell them you need to change the name on your tickets.

Grass and

Watch the PNC website

As long as there is only rain, yes. However, if lightening is seen they postpone until circumstances clear

Call them directly

If I'm correct it was $10 per chair

Yes...They have a area for wheelchairs.

They open the gates usually 90 minutes to two hours before the first act. You would have to check with the venue for gate opening. Tailgating can be done as early as you like. Like the person above said the earlier you get there the closer to the gates you will be but you will also be one of the last to get out of the parking lot. I suggest another tailgate (eating) after the concert to let everyone clear out.😀

A lot. Eat before you go. Don't try to sneak anything in.

Definitely bring some lawn chairs.

U dont have to do the stairs there r ramps

We weren't allowed any umbrellas, pocket or otherwise. They sell ponchos, so I imagine umbrellas cut into their sales.

Maybe 5-10 min depending upon traffic

Soft sided coolers, sealed water bottles, food in clear ziplock bags. Everything is searched.

I noticed the same thing as Jessica Kramer. People were cooking in the parking lot on small grills. Attendants were near enough to see, but didn't seem to mind.

Sometimes $20 depending who's playing to How Many your Getting.

At the box office where they sell the tickets

Usually opens several hours before gates open so that you can tailgate before the show.

It depends on if the show is sold out or not

I dont know exactly

I believe they have designated areas for this

If you have a clear bag they will search it quicker.

Should be

You need to arrive about 1.5 hours to 2 hours early. That way you'll get parked and in the gate and still have time to use the rest room get drinks, food, etc.

You can take water. I've take back packs. They search them.

I would call and ask. I think it varies

Regular bathrooms located in buildings. The men's restrooms are what you'd expect in terms of cleanliness. I cannot speak for the women's restrooms.

Smoking IS allowed on lawn. But not in the covered seating area. Lawn chairs have to be the really short ones. I think 9 in off ground.

Yes they scan the phone

Beer margeritas

No healthy food. You would have to bring your own

No, they are free

When I wenr I didnt know you cpuld rent chairs. All I hear was that you werent allowed to bring your own in unless they were small but a ton of other people apparently got in with normal sized lawn chairs

It's easier if you print ,cause sometimes you phone don't load fast enough and it's better for the guys at the entrance to see it better ANF faster to get to seat

Yes

That's going to differ by event. Just Google it.

Yes, they allow lighters

They are

There is handicapped parking up close to the entrance.

Not inside the facility

Yes if available

Blankets, yes for sure. Chairs are questionable, I've seen the low beach chairs get denied. Rental chairs are available inside.

They will accommodate you..

And if you plan on eating and drinking in the venue, prepare for the crazy prices.

No

I did see one last time i went...last week

Depends on what you're smoking.

You can take water in, not sure about juice boxes.

They let me bring in a bottled water but thats it

I didn't use the restaurants just the beer stands. The concert t-shirt I bought was $40

The whole facility is handicap accessible

Wow. Great...i guess i need to find out their hours so i can go in the day before show.

Yea  The Avett Brothers, Jamey Johnson, and Sarah Shook and the Disarmers.

Around 11

Anyone that has seen a previous show that can shed some light how the line up was?

Yeah Jeff is on point. Be waiting at the gate an hour before and go down the middle with a blanket and or chairs then you can go grab some food. The lawn stays pretty open until just after the main act starts.

You can also purchase a special parking ticket which will allow you to park at 1 pm and tailgate

Should be fine take a towel, blanket toys. It's not that loud when you're that far back from the stage.

There are at least 8 within 10 mins of PNC.

Contact your bank first and than call the number that should be on the reciept for the Pavilion. You can also google the website and there should be a customer service number on the actual site

No "professional" DSLR types, but your phone camera is fine.

Usually there's no chance of that. Security pretty tight

I dont see why it would be a issue to keep cool....they have some small fans at walmart that hook into your phone port...i am sure those would be fine

It starrs at 330 and tickets are selling out.. It will probably last a few hours because there are many artists performing

That will be pretty difficult. The crowds access to the artist is extremely Limited

Yes

I would call to see if there are tickets available

Yup

Not inside the pavilion, and the beer on the inside are $13 each for 25oz can! Best best is to pre-game at your car and then go in. Its really great if you have VIP Parking! Bring your lawn chair and cooler and enjoy until your favorite band gets ready to take the stage.

Four hours and twenty minutes, exactly! Hey, the geezers are getting some years on them. Ole Tom Johnston himself wanted you to know that you'd be okay and to just listen to the music.

Definitely yes

Pretty sure. Ada requires it I think.

Campers are okay in specific lots. Tractor trailers and bobtails are not permitted. I'd find a lot somewhere along North Tryon street and take an Uber or taxi to the event.

between

If you're seeing buffet, get a cab/uber. That way you can have all the landshark and margaritas you want

You'll need to contact the venue for information about upgrading

I work there you can carry a small bag no alcohol no drugs no food or drink items allowed

In a VIP box? A chair, a roof and a waiter, i believe

Yes it is true bad weather

I have seen people use them. but I always use a poncho

There is an early parking pass available for $20 which allows you to park and tailgate beginning at 1pm.

It depends on the weather and the artist, usually

You can probably just Uber to and from. But you should be able to leave your car overnight.

I live nearby. The answer is no unless you want to walk a few miles with no sidewalks.

You can search for hotels in the area and sort by price or rating.

It varies, but there is free parking available further from the arena.

Yes, there are several different parking lots

I took my daughter to this for years. The first year I made her stay right by my side. The next year I made her stay close. The next year I sat in the adult day care tent and had her check in. The last year she went alone. It is SO safe. No for underage alcohol. Extremely safe. I was pleasingly surprised.

It's all lawn area except close to the stage there is a cover and some seats on the lawn. That's why there are different lawn prices.

You may want to call the venue about that.

Best to buy online of you can

It's easy to drive and get into. The only thing is the wait to actually pull back out if the parking lot when its over. If you're an inpatient person go uber just for that.

$5 i think

$15 for the "Rita" flavored drinks like "Strawberry-Rita" and "Lime-a-Rita" in 24 oz. cans

1L bottle of water, refillable is ok, lawn chairs (no long ones) or a small blanket, cellphone, no high techcameras. They check bags and have metal detection.
