Penn Community Bank Amphitheater in Bensalem Township will host That Arena Rock Show next Wednesday, August 26, with gates and admission booths opening at 6 p.m. and the performance starting at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $5 for Bensalem residents with proof of ID and $10 for non-residents, while children 12 and under get in free. Season pass holders get early access, with gates opening for them at 5:30 p.m.
That Arena Rock Show is a touring theatrical tribute act that recreates 1970s and 1980s arena rock concerts, with authentic costumes and anthems from bands like Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Bon Jovi, and Guns N' Roses, according to the City of Mount Dora. The show is the latest stop in the amphitheater's 2026 summer concert series, which runs 14 weekly Wednesday nights from late May through late August and has already brought tributes to Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, Queen, David Bowie, and Pink Floyd to the Bensalem stage, according to Patch. Hoodline previously covered the Pink Floyd tribute show earlier this month, as well as the Jimmy Buffett night that played the venue last Wednesday.
Where to Buy Tickets — and Where Not To
According to Bensalem Township, tickets and season passes should be purchased directly through pcbaevents.com or at admission booths starting at 6 p.m. on concert nights. Online purchasers must present a printed ticket or digital QR code for admittance, and the township notes concert tickets come with no refunds or exchanges. Notably, tickets are not sold at the Bensalem Township Municipal Building, a detail the township is flagging directly to steer fans away from confusion or unofficial sellers.
The township's post also urges residents to immediately report any suspected scams, warning that social media scammers attempt to defraud patrons through fake contest, giveaway, season pass and ticket-sale posts. That warning fits into a wider pattern: law enforcement agencies across Bucks County, including the Perkasie Borough Police Department in 2024, have documented residents falling victim to social media concert ticket scams involving peer-to-peer payment apps, as reported by FOX 29 Philadelphia.
State and Local Scam Warnings Pile Up
Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday issued formal consumer protection warnings in April, advising eventgoers to avoid clicking social media pop-up ads and to rely on credit card payments rather than wire transfers or peer-to-peer apps when buying tickets, per the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General. Lawmakers had already moved to address speculative ticket resales back in September 2023, when Pennsylvania House Bill 1658 was introduced to ban selling event tickets a seller does not actually possess, as detailed by The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Bensalem's own police department has separately flagged fraud concerns this year. The Bensalem Township Police Department issued an alert in May regarding fraudulent email and invoice schemes that impersonate municipal building and planning officials to trick residents into paying fake fees, according to a notice on Bensalem Police Department CRIMEWATCH. Together with the ticket scam warnings, it paints a picture of a township pushing back on multiple fronts against social media and email-based fraud targeting its residents.
Contests, Raffles and Concert-Night Extras
Fans looking to win prizes on concert night have a couple of official options. A selfie and photo contest invites participants to post a concert-night selfie or photo on the @pcbaevents social media accounts under the corresponding recap reel or photo post comments, with photos allowed anywhere the public is permitted on the amphitheater grounds; one winner is selected across all concerts to receive a swag bag. Separately, an Ultimate 50/50 raffle offers tickets for $1 each or six for $5, with raffle tickets sold at tables on either side of the complex walkways and winners chosen at random and announced during intermission.
Food trucks scheduled for the August 26 show include Cornhub, Rooster and the Chick, and Spuddy Buddy Fry Factory, though the lineup is subject to change without notice. Concert premises prohibit pets, alcohol, bikes, skateboards, scooters, hula hoops and ball playing, and smoking is permitted only in designated areas. Weather updates, including any postponements or cancellations, are posted on the @pcbaevents social media platforms and assessed on an individual or situational basis.
A Long-Running Bensalem Tradition
Built in 2000 within Bensalem Township's Central Park, the outdoor amphitheater accommodates more than 3,000 spectators in open lawn seating adjacent to the municipal complex, per Bensalem Township Parks and Recreation. The venue kicked off its 24th season in May, when naming rights partner Penn Community Bank presented a $92,500 check to the township during the opening ceremony. Penn Community Bank has held naming rights to the venue since 2017, following prior naming arrangements as the Commerce Bank Amphitheater and TD Bank Amphitheater. This year's season sponsors also include Parx Casino, Foley, Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton, PECO, Xfinity, Lou's Farm Mart, Sherwood Steel, Bensalem Township Country Club, Waste Management, and ShopRite.
Attendees needing accessible parking should head to Municipal Lot 2, the parking area closest to the amphitheater's main entrance, which the township designates exclusively for vehicles displaying valid state-issued placards or plates on concert nights, according to information from Penn Community Bank Amphitheater. As with every event this season, entry constitutes consent to being photographed, filmed or otherwise recorded, with media usage authorized by Bensalem Township and/or the amphitheater for any purpose in perpetuity.
