Hi guys, I went to PNE last weekend for the Fright Nights event and I just want to share something I observed during the event that is related to business
1: Residents near PNE make profit from private parking during Fright Nights event. (Since the parking is usually really overloaded, people would stand beside the road and ask you to park at their house for $10 per night, which is cheaper compare to $15 parking fee at PNE parking lot)
2: The Fright Nights ticket is sold as two separate prices. One being twice expensive as the other, and the benefit you get from the more expensive ticket is that you do not have to wait for the line up. (For every haunted house, there is a fast lane and a regular lane. Surprisingly, I saw no one waiting in the fast lane…failed marketing strategy?)
3: A big thumbs down for the Triple O’s at PNE, not only is it more expensive than other places, but they actually charged me $3 for a cup of hot water, I tried to argue with them but they said they don’t supply hot water and I ended up paying the price of a cup of coffee…(I guess the demand is high during Fright Nights so they could be careless of their reputation anyway).
Overall I think it was a great experience, I strongly recommend people to go there!!!
