The address of the venue is Exit 116, Garden State Parkway, Holmdel, NJ 07733 and the concert starts at 8.00pm with doors opening at 7.00pm. The blurb on the venue website says "Welcome to Live Nation at the fan-friendly PNC Bank Arts Center. This is our 40th season of providing world-class entertainment and we are proud to say the PNC Bank Arts Center has become one of the most successful venues of its kind in the nation, and that is a direct result of each and every one of you, the fans!. However fans recall that the last time that Meat Loaf played here the venue had a very strict "no camera" policy that they adhered to but hopefully that may have been relaxed slightly with so many fans having such good cameras within their cell phones.

This is a venue that has seats under a cover at the front and then an open lawn area at the back. The venue has low-profile chairs available for rent and personal lawn chairs are allowed provided the seating area is less than 9 inches from the ground. As a part of a "WorryFree Lawn Chair Program", the first 300 lawn guests will receive a free lawn chair rental. This venue also has a "Family Friendly Zone" which is located on the lawn to the right of the stage. The Family Friendly Zone is a smoke-free and alcohol-free area.

Although the weather won't affect Kasim or the people at the front of the venue, it may be of a concern to people on the lawn. During the soundcheck, it is expected to be about 81 degrees with scattered thunderstorms and a 50% chance of precipitation. During the concert itself it is expected to be about 76 degrees but again with the chance of scattered thunderstorms and a 50% chance of precipitation. (I've just spoken to someone on the phone near that area and heard two massive claps of thunder!) Thankfully the wind will be very slight all day and evening.

This venue are offering some special "on day of show" tickets from this link. Currently it's possible to buy two seats together in the 10th row on Kasim's side of the stage. The tickets are $65.25 each, plus a $12.30 Convenience Charge each, plus a $6 Building Facility charge for each ticket! Lawn tickets are $25.25 (plus all the other charges.)

No opening act is listed for this concert (so far there have been no opening acts on this leg of the tour). The last time that Kasim Sulton played at this venue was on Saturday 10th June 2006 as part of The New Cars.
