Frequently Annoying Questions
Yes, there are such things as dumb questions ;-)
​
But don't worry... if you read through this section you won't have to call and ask us any!
1
WHERE CAN I PARK?!?!?
All of the street parking in the city of New Kensington is free.
​
There is a city-block-long parking lot for free which is across from the Post Office... which we are right next to.
​
You can not park behind the venue. Use common sense and read signs.
2
WHAT TIME IS THE BAND ON!?!?!?
Doors are typically at 6 PM. Bands typically start at 7 PM. Shows are typically done by 10 PM at Preserving Underground... usually 11 PM at latest on the Main Stage.
​
Ultimately every show is different and we rarely have this information. Check your ticket or the Calendar section of this site for door and show times.
3
CAN YOU TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT THE VIP PACKAGE/MEET & GREET!?!?
No.
​
We have nothing to do with these.
​
Contact the band who sold you the package.
4
WHAT IS YOUR BAG POLICY!?!?!?
We don't have one. We don't care if your bag is clear or what size it is.
​
No outside food or drink or weapons.
​
No, you can't bring your own chair.
5
DO YOU HAVE SEATING?!?!?!?
Yes but it's first come/first serve. We don't charge extra for seating unlike every other venue on the planet. If you have a disability talk to a security guard when you arrive if you can't find seating.
6
DO YOU HAVE A BAR AND KITCHEN!?!?!?!
Yes. Full bar. Full kitchen. Fully vegan.
7
CAN WE RE-ENTER!?!?!?
Nope. We will hold your bag in the record store for $2 OR free if you buy something in the store.
8
WILL THE RECORD STORE BE OPEN?!??!?!?
Yes. The record store is always open before, during and slightly after concerts.
IF YOU MAKE A PURCHASE we can hold your bag and also any merch you may have picked up from the bands.
​
You can also come to shop during the concert without buying a ticket but will be escorted in and out with a security guard. Check in at the door and let them know. You may skip the line if only coming to record shop.
9
ARE YOU A CASHLESS VENUE!?!?!?!
Absolutely not. We are CASH ONLY, in fact.
We have multiple ATMs on site for your convenience.
10
ARE YOU HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE???
For shows in the Underground (basement), unfortunately not.
For shows on the Main Stage, yes!
​
Contact us in advance if you are in a wheelchair via e-mail at preservingconcerts@gmail.com and we will reserve a space on our platform for you. Upon arrival just simply notify the door staff or security and we will arrange to bring you in through our ramp on the side of the building and escort you to a platform we have constructed for wheelchair accessibility.
​
This section is for people in wheelchairs and their party only. If you have other ailments we have seating all around the venue.
​
For shows in Preserving Underground, if you are capable of navigating a few stairs we will assist in accommodating to the best of our ability. With our building being constructed in 1897 there unfortunately are barriers we simply can not work around for accessibility.
11
WILL WE DIE THERE!??!?!?
Live concerts are a wild place. People mosh and stage dive here. It's pretty easy to avoid though.
​
​​It's simple. Promise.
