    The fiancee and I will be honeymooning this tour and it's gonna include Jones Beach/Camden/Bethel. I can't tell you how pumped I am.

    I thought about trying to make this happen, but don't have the money and it's too much time off of work.

    I am jealous.

    It's definitely an undertaking. We've budgeted like crazy because we wanted to be eventually able to look back at how cool we used to be.

    I am curious to see who opens this show, considering it's one of the few tour stops without an announced opener. Head and the Heart would have been phenomenal.

    If anyone gets an extra GA single for either nights or both, I'm 100% interested. it was my favorite GA experience ever, even though I can't stand Jones Beach. i know it's really far in advance but I can pay either via cash or paypal for a GA ticket. thanks!

    just my two cents and i'm really hoping to get a GA ticket for at least one of these nights again this year, if not both. if i cant, then i'll more than likely end of volunteering

    are tickets really 89$ ? or is that just the presale price?

    that's a little crazy if it is. . . prices are over 4 times the price of my first show.

    Going to both night for the first time here. Any decent places to stay around there or we might stay in the city if there is a train that can be caught around there. Do not know too much about the area. Went through warehouse for n1 and am scared as to what I got for seats!!!!!

    I'm scared too about my seats. I grew up down the road from Jones Beach, so I've been to 100s of concerts there because of geography, but I think it's one of the worst concert venues as far as sound goes. The venue has a beautiful setting on the water, but if you are not on the floor or the first few rows up, the sound is muffled and awful. I'm going to both shows, approved by warehouse, but have no clue where they put me.

    i hear the sound complaint a lot, and you would know more than me i suppose if you've gone to so many shows there, but i've probably seen around 15 and i've never had a problem. granted i wouldn't enjoy being on the top level, but other than the i've never had much of an issue with sound

    I know to keep it cool in the lots but was just wondering if canopies are allowed? (those pop-up tent things)

    No worries on that. Saw plenty of them last summer (even a few rigged up tarps because of the rain) it's actually pretty laid back at the JB lots as long as ur not acting a FOOL! haha

    I have never had any issues with the sound, though I have never sat way up top.

    My biggest complaint is that the venue is dry...but one of the few times I get to tailgate before a show, so that is nice. (Usually go to shows in NYC)

    I agree about the dry part being a negative, but I solved that problem with those tiny nibs of jack daniels. if you get a solid buzz right before you head in, and can manage to sneak in 3-5 of those bad boys you're set.

    I generally use the concert to sober up. Maybe one beer when I get in the venue but that's it. So I have no problem with Jones Beach being dry.

    Yeah, I do the same, but it would be nice to have one during the show...especially if we actually get some decent weather this year for a change!
