How Much Are Tickets for the Gipsy Kings at the Vancouver PNE?
The Gipsy Kings concert at the PNE is FREE with gate admission. Or think of it this way, a concert ticket to the Gipsy Kings is only $15 -- that's the price for adults and kids 6 and older to get into the Vancouver PNE this year. It's only $6 for seniors and what concert have you ever been to that pro-rates ticket prices for anyone 65 and older? Children 5 and under get in free.

Does My PNE Gate Admission Ticket to see the Gipsy Kings Also Include Rides?
Gate admission does not include rides. You can purchase gate/ride pass combinations for $54.75 for adults. If you think you might be coming to see more than 2 concerts at the PNE this year, you may want to purchase a Fair Season Gate Pass for $39.75.

How Do I Get Free Admission to See the Gipsy Kings at the Vancouver PNE?
If you're a regular member of the casino at Hastings Racecourse, just show your BC Gold or HPI Card and enter through gates 5, 6, 9 and 10 for free PNE admission and you'll see the Gipsy Kings for free.

How to Avoid Long Line-ups to Get In to the Gipsy Kings at the Vancouver PNE
Arrive early. People start occupying stands and the concert area around 5-6 pm in the afternoon, heading to the PNE right after work. To avoid long lines at the PNE gate, it is strongly suggested you purchase your 2009 PNE Vancouver gate admission in advance at any Lower Mainland 7-Eleven, Safeway, Shoppers Drug Mart and Save on Foods stores where you'll get $3 off each adult admission ticket to the PNE which includes free admission to see the Gipsy Kings.

Which Entrance Should I Enter to Be Closest to the Gipsy Kings Stage at the Vancouver PNE?
The gate entrance at Hastings and Renfrew is the closest. If the main entrance is busy, you may want to try the entrances further along Hastings and enter through Playland instead or try the entrance closer to the Coliseum.

How Do I Get to the PNE to see the Gipsy Kings?
Parking is always busy at the PNE at $15 per vehicle. There's an Express PNE bus that runs directly from the 29th Avenue station that also picks up passengers at the Renfrew skytrain station but it gets pretty packed so it's best to board from 29th Avenue. New this year is a free secure bike valet service inside Gate 1 at the corner of Hastings & Renfrew.

What Time Does the PNE Open?
You can stake a claim on the grassy area for the Gipsy Kings in front of the stage by bringing a blanket when the Vancouver PNE gates open at 11 am daily.

What If It Rains Will the Gipsy Kings Still Perform at the Vancouver PNE?
In Vancouver, there would be no PNE if we waited for only sunshiney days and concerts like The Gipsy Kings are no exception. Rain or Shine, the Gipsy Kings will perform at the 2009 Vancouver PNE. In the past, Vancouverites have braved pouring rain and PNE performers have been wowed by packed houses, so even if it rains, expect standing room only crowds for The Gipsy Kings.
