***Official Jones Beach 2016***

In past years, this has not been a very active thread. I hope that changes this year.

    i wish they'd give up this venue. it's a m*therf*cker to get there, they always play a mid-week show so you're fighting NYC rush hour traffic, and we often get crappy weather.

    with that said, i'll see you there

    personally i enjoy the venue and can't complain much about breaking up the work week to catch a DMB summer tour show. loved the acoustic set and encore last year (can't top that encore for me). who knows, depending on attendance, this could be the last show they may play at JB; you never know...

    You can take the Long Island Rail Road from Penn Station to Wantagh or Freeport train stations. At one point ran bus service back and forth between Freeport and Jones Beach. I believe this may have stopped but I'm not sure.

    In any event, my advice to you is simply take the LIRR from Penn station to Wantagh. There is a cab stand outside of the train station. Grab a cab to the theater. It should be fairly cheap. Its a very short drive. Getting home is a little more difficult, but there should be plenty of cabs. I would actually suggest taking an uber though. Take it back to Wantagh and take the train back into Penn station.

    The train from Penn to Wantagh should be direct (meaning you don't have to transfer anywhere). There are about 6 or 7 stops before you get to Wantagh. The ride itself should probably be around 45 minutes.

    Just to make things clearer, here is a map of directions from the train station to the venue. You can see its pretty much a straight shot south, which is why I recommend the Wantagh station. There are also several bars and restaurants within walking distance of the Wantagh station (although if you are going back to the City, you might as well eat and drink there).

    Hoping to be there!

    Got screwed over last year, tried to make my wife's first ever show really special and bought fake tickets for a few hundred bucks. If anyone is interested in pre-ordering a pair from the WH and helping me out, i'd be much obliged. Will pay for 'em and buy you a beer at the show. PM me if you can help me out!
    Been a while since i've been on the boards, so I apologize if i'm in some way asking for something that's not allowed on here!
    Cheers!

    I got screwed with fake tickets last year as well from this guy named "Christian" on craigslist. Everyone be careful with tix from secondary market.

    Stayed the entire show outside the venue and listened to the muffled sound from afar and watched what we could see on one of the video screen.

    Hoping to snag a decent pair for this year!

    The problem with the warehouse and Jones Beach specifically, is that if you request tickets, they can end up being anywhere in the venue, and you have to keep them. With that said, if you don't care where you sit, and I request and I end up thinking I will do better via ticketmaster, I'll sell the warehouse seats to you at face.

    I really don't think there is a need to purchase tickets from any outlet outside of TM/LN or the warehouse for Jones Beach. It doesn't sell out until very close to the show. Also, they usually release standing room only tickets (which actually have a great view), as the show gets closer.

    Since they stopped doing Bethel I hit up Jones Beach last year and will do it again. It helps that they serve beer at the venue now. Hopefully they can start on time this year.

    Thinking about doing this show. My mom doesn't live too far from there, and I think she'd be down to go. I just hate driving to Long Island.

    Can we just get some nice weather? That'd make me appreciate this venue/show much more.

    I got 2nd row in the pit last year and the crappiest LI family ended up in front of me. If you see a huge dumb guy in a Jets jersey this year in the pit, go the other way.

    ^ Does Jones Beach have a pit? From pics I've seen it looked like there was only reserved seats.

    Very small pit. Never been in it but it looks maybe 7-10 people deep along the stage.

    Yes, its very small and usually packed. I like orchestra seats better here.

    Thanks for the info Scott. I assume its pretty hard to get pit tickets if the pit is small?

    For those of you coming from the city and are looking to avoid driving, here is an option I stumbled upon when I was trying to pull tickets this morning. Bus from the city to Jones Beach and back to the city post show:

    That's not a bad deal, but isn't it wayyy cheaper to LIRR it from the city? I should be living in NYC by then and I'll probably spontaneously go to this show.
