Phish, Kenny Chesney, Dave Matthews Band and Jimmy Buffett are some of the headliners this summer at the Nikon at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, NY. Ticket sales for many of this season’s confirmed events begin May 2 at 9 a.m. through the theater’s box office, as well as Live Nation.

As sales open on the first day, purchasers will be restricted to a six-ticket, six-show limit. Some performances are already on sale. The three Phish concerts and only concert by Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band have already sold out.

Of all the performers coming through the venue this year, there are a few shows with ticket prices exceeding $100. The co-billed Kid Rock and Lynyrd Skynyrd concert tops the list at $160, followed by the Aerosmith and ZZ Top co-headliner at $155.50.

For the Saturday on-sales, the Nikon box office will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., but will be closed the following day. Individuals wishing to access the May 2 on-sales may collect a wristband in front of the box office on May 1, from 12 to 6 p.m., while supplies last.

Nikon at Jones Beach is not like the other amphitheaters in the Live Nation chain of summer venues because there is no lawn. The theater was built decades ago as a summer venue for traveling theatricals and has an inclined vertical configuration for its seating.
