At the Wantagh station there is a poster explaining ticket collection at Forest Hills for three concerts this July 4th weekend. The poster instruct people to buy round-trip tickets and keep them when leaving the train at Forest Hills. The tickets will be checked at the exit from the platform. I hunted for this directive on the mta.info site (to link it), but I could find no trace of it. There is no specific about which direction the trains are arriving from; maybe both directions. There is no mention about a ticket check after the concert.

Shades of ticket collection on the New York, Westchester, and Boston, which had no on-board ticket check!

It's called "gating". It's the same procedure at mets willets point. It's done for east bound and west bound trains. When you get off the train there are ticket collectors at the stairs to collect your ticket .
