A limited number of special VIP tickets are left for the 10th Anniversary All For The Sea benefit concert at Southampton College featuring folk-rock icon Bob Dylan. The legendary artist will perform with his band Monday, August 19 at 7:30 p.m. in his only appearance in the New York Metropolitan area this summer. General admission and alumni tickets have already sold out.

VIP tickets, starting at $350 each, provide reserved, front-row seating and parking and admission to a private, pre-concert party in a tent adjacent to the stage with food, wines and beer from the East End's finest restaurants and caterers. For VIP tickets, or to advertise in the concert journal, call 516-299-3298. Tickets are limited. The concert benefits Marine and Environmental programs at Southampton College of Long Island University.

The concert is part of Dylan's current world tour for "Love and Theft," his critically-acclaimed new album. His recent shows have included rarely-heard and newly-introduced cover songs as well as material drawn from all phases of his extraordinary career from his early days as a coffeehouse folksinger through his years as a rock & roll iconoclast.

In its 11th year and after 11 concerts, All For The Sea enters its second decade as a Hamptons tradition benefiting students in Southampton College's marine and environmental science programs. All For The Sea has raised more than $6 million since its first concert in 1992. Jimmy Buffett began a string of consecutive sellouts with his 1996 All For The Sea show. Since then, artists James Taylor, Rod Stewart, Tom Petty, and Paul Simon have also sold out the popular venue.

Previous performers were Crosby, Stills & Nash (1992), Tina Turner (1993), Foreigner and the Doobie Brothers (1994), Tony Bennett (1995), the Allman Brothers (1996), Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band (1996), James Taylor (1997), Rod Stewart (1998), Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (1999) and Buffett again last year. The marine and environmental sciences programs at Southampton College are nationally acclaimed for their excellence and have produced 33 Fulbright Scholars in the past 27 years.
