Covered Seating at Jones Beach Theater

Where Can You Find Covered Seating?

With its location just off the Atlantic Ocean, Jones Beach Theater is one of the best venues for soaking up the sun and catching a world-class act. Unlike most outdoor music venues, the theater has multiple levels of seating - and each level comes with its own unique advantages.

Among these levels is the Stadium level that sits above the Orchestra. Ticketholders in these sections will enjoy an elevated view of the stage, along with excellent views into nearby Zachs Bay. The lower-level sections in this area (101-107) are known as 100-level seating, while the sections above are known as 200-level seating. The most significant advantage of 200-level sections is that roughly half of the seats are under cover.

The Mezzanine (sections 301-311) hangs over the back portion of 200-level seating, creating protection from the rain (and often the sun). Rows NN and above in sections 202-206 are covered by the overhang and will keep you dry in the event of rain (of course, blowing rain might still find a way to sneak in). Sections 201 and 207 book-end this level, but seats in those two sections are not covered.

In addition to the sections listed above, all Stadium Box sections (commonly labeled SB1-SB15) are fully covered and almost entirely shaded. Besides for offering the best protection from the weather, these are premium sections and include upscale amenities like wait service and private restrooms. Tickets in the Stadium Boxes won't come cheap, but they do guarantee one of the most comfortable experiences in the amphitheater.

  Answered by an RYS Expert · June 21, 2018

  Most of the seating at Jones Beach is uncovered and open-air. However, because the venue is split into multiple decks, there is a small portion of seating at the top of the lower deck that is covered. If you are looking for cover, the only parts of the venue that have overhead coverage are the rows after Row NN in sections 4-14. Apart from these sections, you will not be able to find any seating with overhead coverage.
