Show Caption Hide Caption PNC Bank Arts Center 50th anniversary It's the 50th anniversary of the PNC Bank, Garden State Arts Center in Holmdel.

Patrons of the PNC Bank Art Center need to be prepared for a new inconvenience this concert season. Those holding tickets for lawn seating will no longer be allowed to bring in their folding beach chairs. Mind you, it’s not that chairs are a problem and won’t be permitted, it’s that they couldn’t make any money from them. You will now need to rent their chairs.

Management has invoked multiple revenue-enhancing measures. These include eliminating water fountains, adding hidden parking fees, reserving paid close proximity “VIP” spaces, as well as hosting pre- and post-show alcohol-focused services.

So this season, leave the chairs at home and instead pack a blanket or a little extra cash.
