Nikon USA ManagerSeptember 26, 2011Get Creative - Try both wide angle and zoomed in shots. For example, get some of the crowd in the scene to help establish the mood.
Nicole HeringSeptember 22, 2011The only venue where the party is just as fun on the outside as it is on the inside
If you're 14-17 just leave. This is why the drinking age is 21 I'm laughing as your parents drag you by your hair to the car while you puke your brains out LOLOLOL
I love this venue! It really doesn't matter where you're sitting. Always an amazing show.
Cindy O'ConnorJuly 22, 2017If you stay for the whole concert, don't plan on getting out of there anytime soon
Catresea CanivanMarch 9, 2011Great place to see big name rock/pop acts IF you can afford middle floor or first tier tickets AND the weather is good
JeannieNovember 3, 2010there's pretty much no bad seat here, had a great time sitting in the front, and up in the back as well... make sure you bring great company ;-)- Roxanne ParetsAugust 17, 2015Such an awesome venue!!!! Right off the beach and water behind the stage.
Identity FestivalJuly 28, 2012Welcome to the 2012 Identity Festival! Be sure to check out the TIGI Bed Head Bar to get your hair styled and receive free product samples!
Live NationFebruary 25, 2010Spend a summer day at Jones Beach and come see a concert at Nikon at Jones Beach Theater in the evening..a wonderful way to make some memories!
Nikon USAAugust 7, 2011Time it right - Get into the rhythm of the songs, and zoom in on the lead singer when the microphone isn’t obscuring their face.
If you have orchestra seats, don't wear any shoes you would hate to be ruined! High tide can cause flooding (happened at Maroon 5 Wednesday). Had to stand in ankle deep water until the end of the show
VH1July 21, 2010Tickets for upcoming shows are on sale today only! Look for the roaming ticket sellers in the plazas for your chance to get great deals on great upcoming shows!” – Team Live Nation
Nathan WalbeJuly 1, 2017May only be the event I attended, but the place need porta potty's during concerts.
Guyetri PAugust 19, 2016Venue is fantastic. The place is great and sounds was good. Women's restroom was disgusting. Toilets that had exploded. Really dirty.
Dietmar StorkJuly 15, 2013It might be called Nikon at Jones Beach, but don't bring your nice camera. Nor a backpack or bottled water. Not allowed
Kate Ruby KlenfnerJanuary 27, 2016I have to go at least once a summer... Drive if you can. The LIRR experience is a nightmare.
Jena MihalovicJune 11, 2011Eat before you get here. 13 gets you 3 chicken fingers, handful of fries and a the tiniest soda I've ever seen. Also 6.50 for a bottle of water.

Rostrum RecordsAugust 3, 2012Ridiculous views here. Hope you got the opportunity to see the sunset with Mac Miller on stage! :)- VH1July 21, 2010Look for the Grasshopper ticket sellers roaming the plazas for your chance to purchase a discounted ticket close to the stage for tonight’s show – Team Live Nation
- Nikon USAJuly 8, 2011Turn off your flash to get good exposure of both the subject on stage and the illuminated background.
Best to tinkle at the Northern restrooms. No lines.

Sean O'ConnellAugust 23, 2011beautiful view, but the acoustics stink. Go to the beach early and try to catch the soundcheck for a pleasant day.
DRINK BEFORE U GO IN! .... they serve outside or pregame in the lot. Once you're in they don't serve alcohol and they don't let u out .. it's a cruel trap!
Jackie VazquezJuly 25, 2012Even if you didn't bring the weed, you'll end up feeling high by the end of the concert.
Justine BurkeAugust 14, 2011Awesome venue but it didn't look like any alcohol was served inside -- ignore the parking lots and tailgate your tush off!
Nicolle FAugust 9, 2011Try to park closest to the exit, otherwise you'll be stuck in the parking lot for half an hour, possibly more. Also no backpacks or outside food/drink is allowed.
Julia PerezSeptember 4, 2011Eat before going inside and no alcoholic drinks. Only in the VPI area witch is an extra charge and ticket. Plus NO SHUTTLE BUSES to train station. Be prepared to pay $10 per person for a cab.
