***Official Jones Beach (Wantagh, NY) 2012***

June 12-13, 2012.
Wanted to start a new thread, with the official dates. I have attached some pictures of the venue. For those of you who have never been or plan on making the trip, have a look at the pics so you can get a feel. View is excellent, acoustics could be better, although I have never really found them that bad. This is my home venue, so any questions go ahead and ask, someone will have an answer for you. Ill post more information about hotels in the area as we approach. Important notes: This is an alcohol free venue, with the exception of VIP. This includes the parking lots. It is a state park and they enforce it strongly, especially during concerts. Bring a red cup and you should be fine. Just don't make a scene. Some lower sections are prone to flooding, I was standing in 10 inches of water with crabs at my feet in 09. Don't wear your nice shoes if rain is a possibility. Happy Touring! |

Thinking that one of these shows might be the only ones I will be able to make. I live in Brooklyn, but have never been out to Jones Beach before. Any idea if its better to drive or take public transit?

Re: ***Official Jones Beach (Wantagh, NY) 2012***
So how does one get to Jones Beach via public transportation? Is there a LIRR train that goes out that way?

Yeah, i have no problem with the traffic, would rather an easy commute to my front door after the show than dealing with public transit afterwards. Any sense of which night is better at Jones? I know night 2's are typically stronger at SPAC (my old home venue), but not sure about Jones...

Anyone making the trip from Boston for this show? Is that doable? I will be in Boston for a conference and was hoping to make it to one of these shows.

Jones Beach is a nice venue especially if the weather agrees. BUT if it rains....the front sections do flood. Also its a "dry" venue unless you pay the extra fee to get into the VIP section...which only has beer and wine for sale. Since its a state park you are not supposed to tailgate....but in my experience if you keep it hidden and quiet, they pretty much leave you alone. As far as getting there, I live in the area so I always drive. Parking is pretty decent...they have several parking fields. Getting out after the show isn't all that bad. I think if you want to take public transportation you have to take a bus. Maybe someone else knows more about that. Anyway hope you get the chance to make it to at least one night at the beach! |

I might do these, considering I live a half hour from JB. Too bads it's a Tuesday/Wednesday.

It's doable, it's just a 3:30-4 hour trip....without traffic |
Re: ***Official Jones Beach (Wantagh, NY) 2012***
Eh, maybe going to these, but probably not.
Really didn't enjoy it in 09... maybe it was the weather. |

i hate, hate, hate, hate jones beach but i will probably wind up going considering its the closet venue to me on this tour. i was hoping they would go for Yankee Stadium or red bull arena or something else because jones beach isnt the best environment to see a show. i try to avoid it just cause the sound can be wacky depending on how the wind is blowing, and theres very little coverage if its raining, and the floor floods sometimes during high tide. the only reason why im considering going is if i can get tickets in the orchestra because if youre in the upper structure, its a long ways away. anyone who went in 09, theres no GA right? its all seating? i know the seats are permanent but they put out folding chairs for the few few rows, wasnt sure if they change that. ugh, just sucks the garden will be out of commission for the renovations
