Jones Beach Question

Post by smiling bill »

I am thinking of planning a trip with old college friends for the Jones Beach Concert. If we don't get tickets for the show on monday( it probaly will sell out quick i assume), then can you get them at the show reasonable or are you better off buying them from ebay or a ticketbroker?
I am only familar with how much the tickets are in Pittsburgh--usually you can get them for around cost.
thanks

Jones Beach is not an "easy" parking lot to get tickets in. You can find them but there aren't a lot of them.

Is it possible JB can sell out JB in 2 minutes? It was 9:02 when I got the no tickets available message!

Actually it was 9:03 for me! But I could get a single up until 9:06 and now no luck, even with that.
