| 2021 PNE
Never thought this would happen, but it looks like they are going for it.
August 21 to September 6.
Now, I went to those special drive through days (doughnut and fair food events) and they were offering free PNE passes for whenever the fair opens again. I wAnder if they are going to honour it. I haven't had any e-mails about it.
Anyway.......... https://www.pne.ca

Pumped! Wonder if the hood is gonna get free tickets again as per usual
Will try to go as much as possible to try and support them. Hopefully scaled down doesn’t equate to some shitty half ass fair that leaves people with a bad taste

Just called Ticket Leader, the people who're in charge of admissions and ticket sales. I was told they will email those people who participated in the events of last year as to how they can redeem the free passes.
Yay!

Superdogs, my favourite Lumberjack Show, For the Love of Drag, lol.....
Anyway, here's more info on what's lined up for this year. https://www.pne.ca/fair2021/
I miss the PNE so much, I'm even going to go into the Agridome for the first time. Frick, I hate the smell of shit and farm animals. I'm a city slicker, mang.

Have to purchase tickets for a specific day. Might actually be nice - quieter than usual without all the crazy crowds.

Yay! | Nice. Completely forgot about these as I took my family last year through the drive through as well...
I went back and looked at the email and it appears to say opening day 2021 only. Hopefully they allow more than just opening day.

Been a long long time since I have went to PNE. I don't know if I want to even buy tickets in advance. What if you buy tickets on a specific date and when times comes, it's raining LOL.

Got this email a couple of hours ago. Quote:
Thank you for your support of the PNE over the past year. We loved seeing you at our drive-thru events.
The PNE is excited that the PNE Fair will be taking place from August 21-September 6. It will be a reduced capacity event with a more limited scope that still delivers all the FUNdamentals you know and love.
Shows & Attractions
We’ve got all your favourite can’t miss shows and attractions, including the SuperDogs, live music on the Revel District Stage, animal displays, plus BCAA ToonCity, Safeway Cooking Stage, MarketPlace, Prize Home display suite, rides, games, and all the Fair food you can eat! Also back by popular demand: The West Coast Lumberjack Show, For the Love of Drag show, PNE Pep Band, and Electric Fire – the nightly pyro musical finale.
View 2021 Entertainment
Your Complimentary Tickets
As a supporter of our “Taste of the PNE” events last year, you were provided complimentary tickets for our 2021 Fair.
To access your tickets, starting Friday, July 2 at 10am:
1. Visit www.ticketleader.ca
2. Click on my account
3. Log into account
4. Click Exchange under My Tickets on the right-hand side
5. Click on the voucher program you wish to exchange tickets for
6. Select the number of tickets you would like to exchange and click next

Tickets must be exchanged by AUGUST 13, 2021.
After this date, your tickets will expire. The 2021 PNE Fair has a limited capacity, and we can only hold tickets for you until this day.
This year you will get more than a TASTE of the PNE, you will get to experience all the Fair FUNdamentals in person. And we can’t wait to see you there.
Please note that the 2021 PNE Fair will operate with reduced capacity, under all applicable Provincial Health Office orders with the health and safety of our guests as our primary focus.

I'm guessing it will completely sell out/fill up for their limited openings.

No specific dates. Just log in, cross your fingers, and hope for the best. You'd figure they'd give the people who supported them last year a special day to redeem their passes ahead of the masses................ masses with passes...........nvm. I'm a poet and I didn't even know it........that I was that bad of one.
EDIT:
I meant to say, a special day to exchange their tickets.

yup, right there in the quoted text.
I'm hoping for a weekend, so I can go with my family. If I'm not mistaken Mondays are a day of rest, 'because the PNE was not created in a week? Black Sabbath. Now why in hell would you take days off when you're forced to limit attendance? Perhaps a really good reason. Well, students get their summer job opportunity. That's a good thing.
EDIT: I may have assumed too much. Days off are not on all Mondays............. need to do more research. Off to the laundromat.

Yay! Woo Hoo! Fuiyoh! Praise Allah! Jesus Saves! Happy Hunnukah!
Just exchanged for 4 free passes. All days were available at 9:55 am this morning. Printed out the tickets. I'm good to go. I don't give a flying frisbee if it rains, snows, or lightning hits. Imma going to the PNE. Gone every year at least once. Even last year, if the drive thru's count. All I want is a new refillable "Beast" cup. My old one is about to spring a leak. Yes, the small things in life is what keeps me going.
