The initial line-up for the 2009 amphitheatre season at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ, has been released. Tickets go on sale on May 2 at 9:30 a.m. exclusively through Live Nation ticketing. The PNC Bank Arts Center is owned by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority and operated by Live Nation.
There is a six-ticket limit, six-show limit per person on the first day of sales only. Throughout the season, special four-pack pricing will be offered on select shows. The PNC Bank Arts Center box office will be open 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. for the beginning of on-sales on May 2. The box office will be closed on May 3-4.
Wristbands for the May 2 on-sale will be given out on May 1 from 12 to 4 p.m. for use on May 2. Patrons with wristbands will have priority purchasing on May 2. Each person is entitled to one wristband only. PNC staff must place the wristband on the wrist of the person who will be purchasing the tickets.
Wristbands will be attached upon pick-up and may not be removed until tickets are purchased. Any transferred, broken or tampered with wristband will be voided. It is recommended that patrons with wristbands arrive one hour prior to the on-sale in order to secure their designated placement.
Each ticket purchased for events at the venue includes a $6 facility and parking fee. A 25-cent donation is also added per ticket to benefit the Garden State Arts Foundation.
Box office hours of operation for the remainder of the season are Tuesday through Friday, 12 to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 12 to 4 p.m. The box office is closed each Sunday and Monday if there is no performance, but hours are extended until 9 p.m. on show nights.
The PNC Bank Arts Center introduces on-going fan appreciation contests this season, wherein fans at each show are selected at random to win VIP access, concession cards, seating upgrades and more. The venue will also continue to offer the designated indoor “Parent Zone,” where parents can wait for their children during concerts.
