Organizers confirmed that the concerts will no longer offer free admission but will instead have tickets starting at $5, which will be available for advance purchase. It’s believed that charging admission will assist in crowd control at the concerts, which had problems with overcrowding and chaos in 2016.
COMING FRIDAY: All WNY News & Radio columnist Ryan Gurnett will offer his take on the 2017 lineup.
