Its probably about $20-25 round trip for the LIRR, but you'll also need to get from the train station to Jones Beach, which will probably cost another $15. So your looking at not much of a difference when all is said and done.

    Sweet. I have friends that can probably pick me up at the train station, so that's a win. But, this shuttle is a good option if it's that expensive to taxi/uber from the train station. Thanks, dude!

    I feel your pain ....I'm Feb 2001 member , fan since '93 only because of my wife's good friend , as she was always pushing DMB on us since day 1.

    It is what it is . I live in South Florida now , and Im actually back in NYC that week so I requested tix for JB..Im from NYC and lived there for over 40 yrs........denied pit and $85 reserved so Im in the uppers....

    I got uppers for my 3 Fl gigs as well lol.....whatever , the public sale was insane..I couldnt find a single to Tampa for 2 hours so Ill take it .

    WH should take a look at how Pearl Jams 10 Club treat their hard cores from back in day....confirmed for 4 of 5 gigs for PJ...and I will without question be handed some fantastic seats from the 10 C for my gigs....and one of my confirms is MSG N2 , a show that sold out in 30 min so Im good .

    Does anyone actually have seats in the orchestra? I have never been to Jones beach and we have tickets for section 22. Will that still have a good view and audio quality?

    What transportation do you suggest from the train station to Jones Beach? How long of a walk would that end up being.

    Yes, I have seats in Orchestra, but they are 3 singles, separate from each other. Section 22 will have a great view. Distance wise you will be pretty far back, but you will have a clean and clear look at the stage, and also, since you are that high up, you get a really really nice view of the ocean and bay. They also have huge video screens on both sides of the stage that you can look at. Sound used to be real shitty up there, but they have improved it. I'm pretty sure this is a view from section 22: http://aviewfrommyseat.com/wallpaper...1201172710.jpg

    Transportation wise, my suggestions is taking the Long Island Rail Road into Wantagh or Freeport, and then taking uber (I prefer it) or a cab to Jones Beach. You cannot walk. I know the Wantagh train station has a cab stand outside of it (Freeport might also). Keep in mind, unlike the city, cab prices are not regulated on Long Island (there is no meter and they can charge whatever they want, hence why I like Uber).

    Its directly to the right of the usher/security guard in bright yellow/green.

    Now that I'm looking at it, they may not have a GREAT view, but you def can clearly see the stage. A bit of stage left might cut off though. I'm having a hard time remembering now.

    Got WH tix but they gave me the cheaper seats...grrrr. Oh well, dance on....

    Got tickets, this will be my first time at Jones Beach. Coming from the city after work, and saw some great advice as to how to get there earlier in the thread. Thanks for that.

    I haven't heard many great things about this venue- do they really not sell alcohol there?

    Someone mentioned earlier in the thread "who knows, maybe this will be the last year they play Jones Beach." I doubt that will happen, since it sold out last year and seems to be sold out this year as well.

    Looking forward to a great time!

    They sell alcohol in 2 areas.

    1) VIP
    2) In a special area designated just for drinking alcohol. You can only drink in this area. You cannot bring it back to your seat.

    There are singles available for this show still, but does anyone here need a seat buddy? Debating this show but will probably add it because I'm here for it. Would rather get a better ticket via somehere here and if it helps you out, it can be a help me help you situation. Thanks

    Just text me about it moving forward. I'm probably gonna add it but if the sets are like the two after cville, idk I probably won't add. Only adding because it's a train away for me and itd put me at 60 shows. Nice round number to end the year
