    I rarely post on here as you can see, but I am thoroughly confused with this 'GA pit' option here. I have been to Nikon (tommy hillfiger etc) many times. The seats are permanent fixtures all the way up to the stage. Does anyone know if this is numbered seating or something else? Thanks guys.

    I just ventured into this thread about to post the same thing. I have no idea. I'm almost positive theres no room for a GA pit.

    There isn't... I tried to call Jones Beach but that sends me to livenation and they don't know a thing. Warehouse apparently doesn't open until 11?! haha.. Been a member for 12 years I have never had to call. This is really irking me. And why are the VIP tickets $250 each? That is quite a leap from $75 GA Pit seating. None of this makes sense to me, although I could have tunnel vision and seeing everything in front of me?

    as i said, the first 4 or 5 rows in front of the stage are fold up chairs as you can see in the picture i took. im curious to see if they make it into a little vip ga area, though i doubt it.

    I went to Jones Beach N2 2009. It was a really great show. Kind of annoying that it's all one price range, so the uppers (where lawn would be) are still just as expensive as great seats. But there are no visibility problems or anything. I will try to make it to these two shows

    I have been to JB probably 20 times and I have NEVER seen a standing GA, im confused terribly. I have never done reserved so would anyone know how close it could possibly put me?

    I agree with this. Its very odd. I don't know how many people they could possibly fit in that small amount of space. All I know is I have been there tons of times, as I said before.

    If you have a seat all the way up or very close it is a great venue. You have the stars, beach, etc. The one downside is that it is dry. But just be creative...

    I am going to go reserved and hope that my seniority gets me close.

    This will be my first time at this venue. Does not being able to drink cut into the fun at the show? That probably sounds bad but I am curious.

    For the people saying there is no room for a pit, I believe they'll be removing a bunch of seats in order to create one. No idea, but that doesn't seem too far-fetched.

    Pregaming is allowed. Get a nice buzz if you need the booze.

    The lot here can be pretty fun. Keep it in a cup and everything will be ok. As with any venue, you can always sneak stuff in....I happen to like shows here, especially if it's a nice day, it's the driving home that bites.

    Always great to hang at the beach before and theres a mini golf course thats crappy, but after a few drinks it's all good!

    Trying to decide on which day to go for...can't do both on this one.

    Jones Beach is always fun.Great venue.Going both nights this time.

    I agree N1 '09 wasnt a top show.I was disappointed.The crowd were quiet,it rained,and the band,IMO,just didnt seem into it.They seemed flat to me.Considering the band hadn't played Jones Beach in ages,I thought they would have been more fired up and were going to put on a killer gig.

    Wasnt N1 '09 the show were Dave cursed a guy out ?

    Yea, someone close to the stage did something that pissed him off. Typical Long Islander.

    On a side note, I hope this thread stays busy. In 2009 it was never on the front page.

    if you want to drink inside the venue, you can buy a pass to the "beer garden" which is left of stage and standing room. not a bad view if get a decent spot in there.

    The state troppers and park police patrol the lots but they have always been good to me as long as you don't do stupid shit. drink out of a solo cup and they won't give you a problem.

    Any idea what time we all think the openers and then DMB will go on? Will likely have to work these days and just want to get a sense of what time I will need to be out there from Manhattan.

    So shit, there's essentially no way to get back to the train station from the venue, is there?

    The MTA runs shuttle busses from the lots back to the train after the show.

    Can this be officially proven to me? Because it could be the piece of information that makes or breaks my decision to request seats. I need a website link or something.
