Particularly, at Jones' Beach.

I've heard that it isn't a good place for a concert...what say all of you?

I've never been there. How far away is it from NYC (or, more specifically, Southern Connecticut)?

Do you think it will be completely assigned seating, or will there be some GA standing tickets?

I personally...REALLY want to go :D

Funny thing is I was just talking about this with my mom earlier today how I was praying they wouldn't go to Jones Beach. It's the ONE place I didn't want them to play in NY, and they of course have to go there lol...

The reason I say this is because it's not the best place for rock concerts. It's all seats and just keeps elevating quite high, and is outdoors...*sigh* ok I'm over it. We finally have some dates and they're coming to NY so yay!! :D

It doesn't look like it. They'd probably have pre-sale info up already if they were. Maybe ticketmaster will run a pre-sale...

Its actually not that close, its about an hour drive cause I'm way out east and on the north shore. But still so much better then going into the city cause I don't have to spend $20 on a train ticket. Plus my friends would actually be allowed to come with me finally cause its not in the city. And I like Jones Beach being right on the water. I don't mind if its not general admission either, most of the concerts I go to arent and I always seem to have good luck getting really good seats.

Hey, I'm from the north shore of eastern LI as well...small world ;)

I think I remember meeting you outside the Roseland concert while we were waiting for Ev a few hours before the show. Yeah, the train ticket was a major pain in the bum...so damn expensive. But we'll be able to drive to this one. The venue is rather nice being on the water and everything, but I don't particularly like having seats at a rock concert and having to worry about fighting to get good ones. GA is just so much more enjoyable and it makes ticket-buying a hell of a lot less stressful. Maybe some of your luck can rub off on me for good seats :p

The assigned seating thing is not a big deal. Just make sure you get something in the orchestra section and your fine. Because no one stays in their assigned seat anyway. I've been to several Aerosmith concerts at Jones Beach, and they always start as assigned seating but after a few songs everyone leaves their seat and moves up anyway. Last time I started way and the back and by the end I was right up front, and that was with the so called assigned seating lol. I actually prefer that to having to wait in line so long with general admission. Only time its bad is at some venues secrity is annoying and chases everyone back to their seat, but I've never had much of a problem that at Jones Beach.

The time will be on TM once its listed there. But I've found with other shows I usually get MUCH better tickets waiting untill the day of the show. I don't know if it will work that way with Ev though since theyve always been general admission before theres no way to tell. So I don't know which to do.

I'd figure either 9AM, 10AM or 12PM. Those are the usual times tickets go on sale. Perhaps, ev.com or even ticketmaster.com will post a pre-sale. I don't know if they would since the on-sale date is so close, but maybe.

If you think about it, though, tickets went on Presale for Roseland in January...approximately 7 weeks before the actual concert. That was the presale, which lasted for about a week or so.

Let me just say this: They BETTER give us a presale...

If the tix start at like 9 AM...I'd appreciate it if one of you could get one being as I would be in school till about 2 or 3, depending on whether I have to make up anything. lol.

....I. Can't. Wait. :D

We're gonna have to start a chat or something to figure out what's gonna be going on with tickets...who's going, if we're getting blocks of seats, who'll be buying them, how we're gonna go about it all, etc. This could get messy...stupid seated Jones Beach :mad:

meh, that's a dilemma. I'd certainly prefer if they came to Boston or anywhere else in MA, but i have tons of relatives in NYC so maybe my dad would let me make a trip out of it. But i don't want to buy tickets for a drive that long (about 4 hours) if they're coming closer.

I've been trying to get in contact with him for a long time now, he had offered to get me security and backstage passes to any show there, meaning I could walk right up to the stage during the show and go backstage to meet the band. I was trying to get in contact with him already to see if he'd do that for the Aero show, but now with I'll be able to get that for Ev too! I'd get to meet two of my favorite bands! Maybe I could get some extra passes for some of you too, he could get a few and I dont know if anyones going to be able to come with me yet.

I know..it's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it. Therefore, I guess I'll step up to the plate and take one for the team ;)

Seriously, in general, that would be rather awesome of both your friend and yourself to get some extra passes to dispurse to others. :)

I'll do my best but remember I can't gurantee it. He did offer but it was a few years ago that I worked with him, but he was really nice I'm sure he'd still do it if I can find him. At most I'd have one friend coming with me so I should be able to get at least a few extra if I get them. Only problem with that would be deciding who to give them to. I want to be fair with who I give them to. But I'll worry about that when and if I get them. I'm so excited now :D

Thanks everyone, I really hope I can get them. Mainly its a matter of if I can get in contact with the guy and if he can still get them. I'm going to be away for two weeks, leaving Saturday. But after I get back I'll get in contact with him. I'm hoping the nature center still has his phone number. Anyone have any ideas for a fair way of deciding who would get them?

Thanks everyone, I really hope I can get them. Mainly its a matter of if I can get in contact with the guy and if he can still get them. I'm going to be away for two weeks, leaving Saturday. But after I get back I'll get in contact with him. I'm hoping the nature center still has his phone number. Anyone have any ideas for a fair way of deciding who would get them? I'm thinking maybe I could do some kind of contest with hard questions about the band.


i like that idea, a contest or something even though it would suck to lose but the bright side is

WE ARE ALL SEEING EV (I think...)

I used to work with this guy who works on securtiy at Jones Beach. I've been trying to get in contact with him for a long time now, he had offered to get me security and backstage passes to any show there, meaning I could walk right up to the stage during the show and go backstage to meet the band. I was trying to get in contact with him already to see if he'd do that for the Aero show, but now with I'll be able to get that for Ev too! I'd get to meet two of my favorite bands! Maybe I could get some extra passes for some of you too, he could get a few and I dont know if anyones going to be able to come with me yet.
*girly squeal* Ooo ooo pick me pick me!!!! Lol. That would be awesome. I've never had backstage passes to anything before. And i've certainly never met Evanescence. Actually...i don't think i've ever met ANY band at all. Unless you count my school band which i am a member of, but i hardly think concert wind band counts... ;)

Let us all know if this happens, i want to be part of the...contest or whatever you do.

I think I'm the only one that is kinda dreading this Jones Beach show. I've been to this place for shows in the past many times and have always had decent orchestra seats :) The thing is though the sound is not always the greatest and if it's windy it will totally suck. Also, if ure not in the center and end up on the sides it will be cold as hell cuz you're right next to the water.

The upside about this show is no ga. I wont have to be tempted to fight anyone who doesnt belong in front of me like a few other shows. Especially people I know who werent waiting longer than I was and still somehow managed to get in front of me grrrrrrrrrrrr. As far as moving up don't count on it at Jones beach. They're pretty strict with that kinda stuff although if you wanna get kicked out then go ahead and try it :)

Im also bumbed because this show leaves little hope of catching the band afterwards or before the show because that place is huge and theres no way of knowing where theyll be. Unless some of us are lucky enough to catch Amy laying on the beach or something ha ha!

Im tempted to do philly the next day but that place is just too ghetto for me so I think I'll be skipping that road trip.

ps : oh yeah sarah and rio if you even think of ditching me ill kick your asses Im not sitting alone at Jones beach!!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I dont think the tickets will be more than 45 bucks. If they are I will be shocked. Anyways as long as you get on ticketmaster in the morning you should be fine with seats. Also remember to keep checking as the concert gets closer if you don't get good seats right away cuz they usually open up days before the show.

I wasn't really expecting any updates today since it's a holiday. I'm thinking info for the show will be posted on ticketmaster either tomorrow or Wednesday. If there's going to be a pre-sale, they usually post the info just a few days before the actual date for it, if not less. It is rather annoying that info has been posted for shows going on sale the same day as NY's, but nothing about NY. Also, evanescence.com seems to have been slacking with details for a few shows actually. According to that site, Philly still hasn't gone on sale even though it has and there's no sale date info for some other shows, so I wouldn't rely too much on it for updates. Keep checking back on ticketmaster and such cause I'm sure details will be out really soon...I know, they like to torture us. :p

you can always call a ticketmaster number to order tickets. that way you don't need the speedy connection. Try a number that isn;t in the city of the show (use albany, for example). It most likely won't be busy because there won't be the same rush as there would be for the number local to the concert. Hope I could help :)

I don't know exactly what the conditions of your event are, but you could try ordering with a cell phone, as strokesnstripes suggested. Try a ticketmaster number in a location such as albany which isn't in the same place as the event, as it probably won't be as busy.

I haven't been to Jones Beach in a while and I know cameras aren't really permitted, but if you don't get caught with one as you are entering the venue, then you should be fine. Security inside really isn't too tight there about cameras from what I remember. It is a large, large place and I think it only has ushers near the beginning of each section, so depending on where your seats are, you should be fine.

ALWAYS bring a camera. Even if the venue states that they aren't allowed, bring one anyway and see what happens. Disposables are the easiest way to go. They're simple to hide and if it does get taken away, it's not as bad as a regular or digital cam being confiscated. Sometimes, they'll be a little strict about the use of digitals, but more times than not, the security inside doesn't really care.

Usually they'll pat down the guys, but they'll just check whatever purse or bag a lady is carrying (unless you get a female security guard, she is allowed to pat down another female). Last year I got to hit the beach a few times & security was looking mostly for cameras, but also recorders & alcohol. There is usually at least one security gaurd posted in each aisle between sections, & they'll be looking for flashes & other things. Also, there is a no alcohol policy at the beach, they don't sell it, & if a ranger catches you in the parking lot with a beer or otherwise, you're out. During the show, if they catch you with a camera, just hand it over without arguing, they will probably let you stay. (It's not as lax as Roseland, where I was told no cameras allowed, so I left it home, meanwhile everybody had one except me. But you can get one in at the beach, & I always bring a disposable. My sister holds it until we get passed security.)
Another note on disposable cameras, get a good quality one. Go for the 800 speed film. They're harder to get than a 400, about 20 bucks (should get me through the week), but you can leave the flash off & get a good pic without the attention.
I've been to alot of Jones Beach shows. It's my favorite place to go, & since my b'day is in July, I can't think of a better b'day party than Evanescence at Jones Beach. Well, within reason, anyway. So if you've never been there, don't worry if you can't be up close. I know everyone wants to be up front (me included) but there really isn't a bad seat in the house. It holds 14,000, but the seats are arranged well. There are large tv screens on each side of the stage & they do allow binoculars if you want to bring them. But I've been in the very last row with nothing but a cheap camera & still had a great time. I grew up on LI, lived on the water all my life, & there's nothing like a show at Jones Beach on a hot night with the breeze off the water & your best band on stage. And I have to disagree with someone who said the sound sucks. I'll agree when it's too windy the sound gets blown around a bit and that sucks, but It is one of the better sounding places to see a band, especially since they upgraded the system. An example I guess, last year Aerosmith / Kiss sounded perfect. The sound does get a bit washed if you're way to one side of the stage. But you know Ev will sound perfect. I'll tell you this, if you were at Roseland, & didn't like the sound there, this place will blow it away.
See you guys there, happy hunting with your tix. You'll see me, I'll be one of the old guys in the front row. You'll hear me in the back.

Shit. I just realized that the show is on a Thursday night which means its gonna be hell asking my dad (or someone) to give me a ride there. :o

I've been to Jones Beach before and at the gate the guards yell out "no camera's or video recorders". So i put it back in the car and when I got there, they ended up not searching me at all. I would bring it just incase.

It's actually not a flat rate. The range is from $37.50-$39.50 and this is the seating chart:

Of course I'm going to the show...wherever the seats end up, I'm going. I'll still be trying on the phone when they go on sale and I have other people that will be working with the internet as well. But, I'm a control freak when it comes to this stuff. I want to know that I was trying for them and that if I can't get good seats, that it's on me. I hate having to rely on other people to try for them even though I know they'll do their best.

I will be proudly displaying my evboard nametag and I'm pretty sure everyone I'm going with will be wearing theirs as well. They worked really well at the NYC show back in Feb. They're convenient and come in handy in detecting who's a fellow evboarder without just randomly asking a person. :)

if anyone is in the city i recommend checking to see if J&R Musicworld or Tower Records are selling tickets, i got 2nd row center pearl jam tickets at msg for my friend there when you couldn't get through on the phone.
i hear jones beach security is up, so don't bring any pocketknives or anything you don't want taken away. the only real downside to jones beach are the mosquitos. :( if anyone from outside the city needs help with directions or anything just say so. :)

Guys!!!! Listen to this!!

My friend Rio and her friend was all set to get the tickets today so she gets them and she ends up with 13L in stadium!!! This was at 9:02am. So were thinking its general admission and I was like that's impossible cuz its Jones beach they dont do that and were like maybe they changed the venue and took out the seats blah blah anyways...she later calls the venue and the lady said the promoters hold back the really good seats sell what they can first and then open them up later.

So basically those who got tickets today were most likely fucked over because of this. don't know why I didn't think of this before cuz they always do this for concerts but I didn't think they would with Ev.

So those that couldn't get tickets today you're probably better off waiting til about a week or two before the show or even days and checking then. That's what Im gonna do now. Otherwise it's Philly here I come :D

We had two DSL computers refreshing every 5 seconds or so...and about 20 seconds after they went on sale, i managed orchestra: G section, NN row. I'm unbelieveably happy about that. I'm really sorry to everyone who didn't get as good seats... :( I'm sure it'll be sloped, so you'll still see really well. I'm sure they held some back because i doubt 35 rows in front of us sold out in 20 seconds, but i don't know.

Well, i think most of us didn't get awful seats, mine were good and Jes' aren't bad. Besides, you'd have no idea when they'd release those other tickets and could end up with the very back or something. I think buying them right away was the right choice. It'll be fun no matter what seats we have.

I already knew they were going to do that, but I really didn't think it'd be this bad...I figured the first few rows and such in the front sections, but just getting into the orchestra area, period, was tough. *sigh* Orch H is pretty decent so I'm not really complaining, but we'll keep trying for better.

oops my bad, its that thing on Stadium 1 where it says 13R seats 10 & 11. you know what. I just went to this website and it could have gotten in section c of the orchestra for the exact same price !!!! That pisses me off lol. The lady said it would give best seats first so I thought i was like damn good thing I came now. And to find out thats not true ! WTF~!

At first I had Sec G Row SS, but since my tickets are my 16th b-day gift, I found this website: ccetix.com, where they have Sec C and B tickets for $37.50!! So, I now have Sec C Row P seats!!! and it only cost about $180 and change. I'm so excited :D I will probably sell the Sec G tickets to friends of mine now ;) I'm just so happy I have 16th row seats for my first concert ever :cool: I'm really sorry for everyone who didn't get the best seats. I know how that feels (from going to Broadway shows and what not) I hate the fact that venues hold back the best tickets..it's just not cool :(

Put them on ebay or if you know somebody who wants EvanescencE tickets you can sell those tickets to them. Just a thought :)

$120 is deffinately more than enough for the tickets. It's amazing that EvanescencE, a huge international band is selling tickets for $37.50 a piece! You can't beat that price.

Yeah, same here. I just don't know if i wanna risk it...my dad would probably stick me with the $200 if i didn't sell them, and i'd only get a few rows closer. I'm in the 35th row. It's not bad. God though, if i'd gotten farther back then that...i'd be so mad right now you guys would probably have to run away in fear of your computers exploding just from reading what i'd type....

Just count the letters in the sections in front of you (A-V is 22 for A,B,C, and D) then just keep going back from there. I'm NN so it's around 37 i think if i counted right...

26 letters of the alphabet...whatever letter row you're in, just count off what number the letter would be.

I'm in L with the tickets I got this morning. I'd love to get better tickets and sell the ones I have but ccetix.com doesn't seem to be working. There's no mention of the event anywhere on the site and when I try to search, the site locks up and then after about 30 seconds it gives me an error. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Not too bad. About ten rows back from me. Honestly, i think it'll be great wherever you are, and you're probably on a slope if you're in stadium, so you'll have a better view than people with mediocre orchestra seats like me. :/ lol. But i'm still not complaining. I'm bringing binos and a zoom camera if i can find one i don't mind being confiscated.

Well, I guess I'm 35 rows back. If there's no way to upgrade them, I guess that's ok. I'm still new at this whole concert thing.

No telling. I think that's why they didn't release them. Noooobody knows. It's a mystery so that ticketmaster business people on their lunch break can gather round the people answering the phones and yell mean things into them like "Nah...why would i sell front row tickets to you!?"

Honestly, i doubt they'll ever post it or anything. You just have to keep checking really often up until the show i guess, or just go for whatever you can get now.
