I just went through my tickets from past shows, there have only been 3 on Saturdays - 1988, 2004 and 2006. I wouldn't hold my breath for a Saturday show this year. With Boston on Thursday I think if there's a Jones Beach show it's more likely to be on Tuesday than Saturday.

All the shows listed have the same basic URL structure artist name followed by jonesbeach.com/ so Ozzy is http://ozzy.jonesbeach.com/ and Poison is http://poison.jonesbeach.com/ etc... I tried http://buffett.jonesbeach.com/ and it redirects you to the list of shows at Jones Beach. But if you try other names who are not performing at Jones Beach in 2018 and have not performed there in a while like Pink http://pink.jonesbeach.com/ or Seal http://seal.jonesbeach.com/ the links are dead (page can not be displayed wording) no redirect. If you try a performer that played there last year that is not schedule to play this year like Train http://train.jonesbeach.com or Journey http://journey.jonesbeach.com you get redirected to a page that reads "Sorry, this event has expired." Buffett played there last year and when using the http://buffett.jonesbeach.com/ URL you don't get the event expired link you get the redirect. My conclusion is they have the Jones Beach Buffett 2018 page in development for his 2018 show which is why it is not a dead link and why it is not showing the date has expired.

But I have no idea when that date is, so much to do about nothing. My Guess, is it will be within the first 12 days of August.

I'm driving up to Virginia so the only way I could make both shows is to drive up to Long Island, then to Virginia on my way back to SC. Since I always stop about halfway when I drive to NY, I'd be going SC-VA-LI-VA-SC. An extra day on the way up, probably an extra day or 2 on LI to see some friends from when I lived there. That trip would blow my travel budget sky high.

Well, my sleuthing was correct, the URL for the show is indeed http://buffett.jonesbeach.com/

We have gone to Great Woods every show for the last 8 years--disappointed he is not returning, but excited for a new adventure. Any advice on hotels would be great! Also, when can we start our tailgate? Any info would be great!

Great job! Seriously, if there was ever a "Buffett Detective Work of the Year" award, I'd nominate you for that one. I'm always amazed at how smart Jimmy's fans are (or perhaps it's more a case of how badly I'm the weak link in the herd, lol!) Either way, I tip my parrot hat to ya, that was kewl!
