    Let me also add that we have yet to get tix. So recommended seat locations would be nice too

    My daughter just sent me this photo from the beach at Asbury Park, NJ. They're advertising the Jones Beach show this way? Really?!

    Yeah I was at my friends beach house on LBI back in the summer of 2011 and I saw the same thing for the Governor's Island Caravan.

    Probably far fetched but it worked last year so might as well try again. I'm looking for a single GA ticket for either or both nights. I can meet pretty much anywhere in the NYC area (queens, manhatta, long island, brooklyn)

    Just checked Live Nation and I'm amazed at the amount of tickets still available upstairs. Whole sections available....

    Anyone looking to unload a pair of tickets in Orch A,B,C, or D? I know it's a long shot but figured I'd ask before I purchase anything from Live Nation.

    Similar situation last year , but right before the shows, a lot of the tix sold. I just hope we have some decent weather this year.

    The sets haven't exactly been the best at JB. 07.21.09 is the worst show in all my years seeing this band.

    A lot of New Yorkers that I know hate Jones Beach , and refuse to see a show there. They would rather see the band out of state (CT,NJ) or go to SPAC.

    Plus, the weather is a huge factor. Im going both nights again, so I have my fingers crossed. There is zero cover at JB. If it rains, you are screwed. I was drenched last year. In contrast, I had seats at the PNC. It rained , but the seats are covered so I was good. Same goes for Hartford and WPB. Thats huge. A friend of mine was at Hartford 1. He had seats , so the monsoon was not an issue.

    I was saying in a thread yesterday , the Jones Beach crowd is so different from the NYC (MSG) type of audience . A lot of casuals attend the Jones Beach shows. At least thats what I noticed from both shows last year, and N1 in 2009.

    I think after last year people are waiting to see what happens with the weather, Though I have noticed less demand this year for JB than in the past. Last year on the Bamaworks auctions, second row and third row seats went for approx $700-800 for a pair. This year I decided to try my luck and scored third row center with lounge passes for $300 on N2 through Bama. Again, I think the weather last year has a lot to do with people waiting to purchase tix this year.

    Right now the 10 day weather says low 80s with no rain but it still is a week away so we will see. I'm hoping the forecast will hold.

    yeah same here. not getting anything closer than Orchestra E. hopefully there's another ticket drop before the show. the pit is soooo tiny so that might have been it.

    Last year they dropped a ton of pit tickets on the day of the show. I would guess there'll be another small one before then, but definitely keep an eye on the map day of.

    That's because the sound sucks up there. Very muddy.

    *Raises hand*.

    Worst venue for acoustics in NY if you ask me . I, too, am going both nights because my sister has a beach house I'm crashing at and that was the only 2 nighter I could swing this summer. Really hate the sound there but just want to enjoy a DMB 2 nighter. Also, best Phish concert I've seen in years at JB last year. had a great experience. Oh, and I'd rather go to Bethel for outdoor venue than anywhere else in the northeast.

    yup, right on the money. im glad they finally started discounting those tickets cause the sound is shotty up there along with it being so far away from the stage

    Seriously though, worst acoustics!!!

    I didn't even get tickets because when I've seen them there I'm just so disappointed with the sound... and I feel like all you can hear is people talking. It's awesome being that it's at the beach but everything else unfortunately stinks.

    Is the sound really that bad? I'm going for the first time. How would it be compared to PNC?

    haven't seen a show at PNC but I imagine it has to be better than Jones Beach. you need the weather to almost be perfect in order to have really good sound but for a venue that literally sits on the water, there's always gonna be wind. don't even get me started on if there's rain...

    If you're in the uppermost level, yes it is that bad. Stadium 2 isn't terrible so long as you're not all the way on the side, but if you can get Orchestra, jump on it.

    Haha alright, I guess I won't be expecting too much. I'm in the front of section 10 which doesn't seem too bad.

    If you have to be in Stadium 2, it's the best place to be.
