Great place to tailgate. Recommend getting reserved seats so you don't have to worry about the weather. Also can avoid the crazies in the lawn.Upvoted Dec 20, 2024
Rose CherusseryAugust 12, 2014The amphitheater is an amazing venue for concerts! Love the open feeling & sound. Get there early or be prepared to park far--it's a bit of a hike. Food, drink, & restrooms are available once inside.
PNC is GREAT! Being in the music industry and seeing tons of shows, this is a great venue to go to. Much better than Jones Beach. The staff's great too...really nice and accommodating!
By far and away the best place to see a summertime concert in the Tri-state area. No bad seats here. Lawn seats are cheap and good. Tailgating is ENCOURAGED!Upvoted Jan 11
🫥June 12, 2022Excellent venue!! Very clean spaces, lots of too . Huge bathrooms, very clean. The only downside is every purchase is credit card only - no cash.
- Alexandra GebhardtNovember 28, 2011Best way to see great concerts is the $20 lawn seats, you get to sit and enjoy the great outdoors & you can still see/hear the show. If you go and it's raining, ask about a ticket upgrade once there.Upvoted Jan 14
Jessica GoleyJuly 24, 2011If you park in the alternate parking area there is usually a shuttle to bring u there. Or there is a secret path through the woods for about 50 feet and will bring u right there!
Michelle RothfeldtApril 26, 2013OMG, really!!?? 8 hour concert, allowed 6 beers/drinks total @ $10-12/per... BYOB & drink before you go... however, once your in, you cannot leave & re-enter
NO OUTSIDE CHAIRS! The website says you can if they’re 9” or less from seat to floor. That info is wrong!- Hub Middletown MiddletownFebruary 8, 2023Hotels near PNC Bank Arts Center.

Dan CanalesApril 4, 2011Bring your own beer and drink it in the parking lot? If you buy it there you will spend more on one beer than your average 6 pack.
Brian AndersonSeptember 2, 2024Best atmosphere for fun concerts!!! Outdoors. A lot of space!!! All around good time!
Gaurav YadavAugust 7, 2014One of the better venues for concerts. Lot of food stalls. Carry your own sheet or chair. Open air is where you wanna be chilling.
The platinum club is not that good. Go with the VIP club it's much better but still a great place to see a show, free parking also.
Ethan LewisSeptember 2, 2011to my shigrin I went here to see Stevie Nicks nice venue good concessions as well I like it here MEGA BURGER IS GREAT
Great Place, but it really needs to be updated and cleaned, make sure you have cc , no cashUpvoted Jan 17
Steve MackJune 4, 2018Great place for shows as you can see from everywhere and have a disabled section.
There are free concerts for senior citizens. There are 4 in the spring and 4 in the fall.
billy galbavySeptember 9, 2013Bring cash. There's a single atm per side of the venue. Meaning theres two atms in the whole place that holds 17500 people. The line was an hour long.
Ivanessa DelgadoAugust 5, 2012Skip the first concession area you see upon entering, there's more as you get closer to the stage with way lesser lines...this goes for restrooms too
This Week on LotJanuary 23, 2011Traditionally a great place for Jambands, there have not been any visits to this venue in many years. Crossing our fingers they let Phish back here. We promise to behave ;-)
Cyndi StiesiJune 23, 2013I saw Luke Bryan last summer at PNC!!!! Amazing! Beer was pricy though but you get that at any venue.
Meela PalomxDecember 9, 2023Bring a clear bag +/- 10” or purchase one for $10. No backpacks/purses/bags allowed
Kristin McHaleSeptember 24, 2012$25 for premier parking is beyond worth it. Wish lot opened earlier than 5pm so we had more time to tailgate though.
Kevin HaughwoutJuly 6, 2012Follow the signs when you enter for "Additional Parking" and you can park practically on the GSP on-ramp.
GustavoAugust 6, 2015Seat prices are steep but at least you get to sit. Lawn is steep and crowded but at least you save some bucks
Rich CitrinJuly 15, 2016Was told you couldn't bring in chairs with more than a 9" height, yet people were all over the lawn with ones that were MUCH larger!
Take the train to this venue. That way you can avoid the DUI checkpoint.
Nice venue, prices are very high, but only Credit Cards or Debit cards, no cash accepted!!- Deleted DeletedAugust 15, 2011Don't park in the parking lot furthest from PNC. The walk is so long, especially after your tired from going crazy at an event there!
GREG BESSONIJanuary 23, 2023ParkingAccess shares information on free parking at the Commons at Holmdel but would require Lyft or Uber.
Stop by the Oink and Moo food truck! It's awesome and new this year!- Maureen RaffertyJuly 22, 2022This place is shady! When I tried to post my negative review on Facebook, it came up as recommended. Now, every time I try and repost it says something went wrong. Shady!

Jillian GuariniAugust 6, 2015They need a better bathroom setup! Missed several songs bc I was waiting on line!
Drink prices are utterly insane. Pregame in the parking lot instead.
