Vancouver’s PNE feels like the star of the summer, and we don’t just mean during the World Cup. Its newly constructed amphitheatre, the Freedom Mobile Arch, has rapidly become a hot spot for live music and events, and it won’t be long before it hosts the PNE’s popular Summer Night Concerts.
PNE Fair admission with every concert ticket
From Aug. 22 to Sept. 7, the outdoor concert series takes over the venue, with admission to the PNE Fair included in the purchase of every concert ticket. According to the PNE, this year is unlike any other for the popular summer series, as the new Freedom Mobile Arch features enhanced sightlines, next-level acoustics, and an elevated fan experience.
Tickets start at $49 plus tax/fees at all the concerts when purchased online, which isn’t too bad at all when you consider who’s performing this year.
