Good news, indeed!
If it's on a scalper site, it must be true..... :D :D
That's Jones Beach's official site, no?

I'm thinking no. They have James Taylor tix for $1,500.00
Id take this as the official ticket site.

I may be wrong....

No, this is not Jones Beach's official site. Jonesbeach.com appears to be a scalper's site. The "official" Jones Beach site is here: http://www.nysparks.state.ny.us/parks/i ... ?parkID=46

The "official" site for the theater at Jones Beach is through livenation.com

I am happy he is playing at JB. I wish it was not a Thursday however. I am already taking Monday off since I am going to the AC show. I can't take off for Tailgating Thursday and a Recovering Friday too. What to do??!! :-?

Metro PHC ticket person tells us that Mohegan Sun and Jones Beach concerts in August have been confirmed by the PHIP contact, but no dates released yet.....

So that August 28 date is lookin good!!

Anyone else feel like they have been manipulated??? Why release dates that are so close so far apart?? Perhaps because they knew that MSG wouldn't sell if there was also a Jones Beach Show??? How much money do they think we have??? Already have tickets for MSG and AC...I have to really think about this and Jones Beach is where I really wanted to see Jimmy again!

Marketing, my friend, marketing. :-? Just do like us. We're going to hit the lot early & tailgate all day. Not even planning on getting tix, going to listen outside. It will still be a great day. :D

I was determined to hold out for Jones Beach & Mohegan Sun (both closer to home) -Hopefully it will be worth the wait. I thought Vegas might be my only show this year but now it might be 3 (my personal best in 1 year is 5).

I really wouldnt worry about it, since there is no Jones Beach show. The rumor is still out there, but eventually the rumor will disappear. I hope I am wrong.....but this show seems very unlikely at this point.

Why does it seem unlikely? Its a viable date and there is plenty of time to sell tickets.

I hope I am wrong, but it seems that we arent getting any moew new dates, aside from West Coast dates for the fall.

But you never know.......I am just not confident

As i said above, the Buffett Parrotheads In Paradise Organization which is authorized to distribute concert tickets to the official Parrothead clubs, has advised the Metro Parrothead club of NY, NJ and Conn that there WILL BE a Jones Beach as well as a Mohegan Sun concert in August...but no dates confirmed yet.

So unless you disbelieve them, i'd say we're going to have those concerts...getting tickets to them is something else, since it looks like every parrothead on the east coast and many beyond want to make it to this unique venue (JB), including me!!

Patience, patience~~~~~~~~~~ :wink: :wink:

It's mid-April, the rumored date is late August. I don't understand all the anxiety. If the July 4th weekend rolls around and we still don't have an announcement about Jones Beach, then maybe I'll start to worry. Or not.
