Dates of the concerts???!
All are on June 8, it’s in the first sentence.
Hi Mike,
It says Free Concerts and then says $100 admission???
Admission price is just for drinks. The concerts are free to attend.
This article is titled “Free Concerts in Riverside Park”. The article from May 12 titled “Party in Riverside Park” states:
“All ticket sales ($50 in advance, and $100 on day of the event at either Ellington’s or Pier I) go directly to the Conservancy’s ongoing work to care for Riverside Park.”
So, are these concerts free?
Sorry for the lack of clarity here. The concerts are in fact free. Priced tickets are for the open bars.
Would you please post a list of the upcoming concerts by the tennis courts. This way can plan ahead.
Thanks.
