There is a $5 cover charge on Thursdays at 9pm for Band night, Fridays and Saturdays at 10pm and random Wednesdays for special events. Hope you visit soon!
I haven't paid one; maybe for special events.
I was there afternoon last Easter Sunday. The entertainment then didn't require a cover charge. The visitphilly.com site mentioned night time entertainment is either free or inexpensive. Check schedule on the morgan pier site.
