How Much Am I Shellin'?
Think about it. When was the last time you shelled out $10 (Jam advance ticket price) or $15 (Jam ticket price at the gate) for a concert? Probably 10 - 15 years ago! And if you did pay that, you probably only saw one performer. Jam on the River gives you a full days worth of music and then some! If you are bringing kids, their tickets are only $5 per child (ages 2-12; babies are free!) Advance tickets are available by calling 215.922.2FUN or visiting pennslandingcorp.com.
