    No, just the 2nd weekend. But you can buy a single-day ticket and it's good for any day of that weekend.
    nothing's changed but the surrounding bullsh1t

    OK...

    I am REALLY bummed that the festival maps out all of the front several rows for VIP's that pay 600.00. One of the main reason I like to go to the festivals is that all the fans can group together and get on the rail, which we can hardly ever do here in the US. That shit should be earned, not purchased.

    *sigh*

    sweet
    this adds a bit of credence to the east coast in May rumors
    I will pass on NO
    I am done with US festivals-at least I think so

    For that reason, I may pass up this festival.

    how do these one day tix work?

    what's to prevent 200,000 PJ fans from buying a one day ticket

    and then only showing up on PJ day?


    then what?



    how long will PJs set be?

    how long has the headliner played in the past?



    and yes VIPs get special treatment... welcome to reality

    I have NEVER been to a festival where the VIP's had the front section. They are almost always to the side, or on the side stage.

    Some info on NO Jazz Fest:

    You can either buy a single day admission ticket to the first weekend or the second weekend. Thus, weekend 1 tix are good for one day Fri-Sun (and can only be used once).

    Also note, Jazz Fest does not sell out. They will sell as many tickets as possible, so don't worry about getting tix when they go on sale. You can buy them at the gate if you need to. I've been to days when there were over 100,000 people there.

    And finally, Jazz Fest is better than any other festival in the US. Sure it has become a little commercial over the years, but they celebrate music and New Orleans. How can you go wrong?

    Last year the front of the stage was blocked off & guarded for people with either VIP for Krewe tickets. but it was that much area in front. I still felt close to R7 from behind the line.

    I am going to wait it out. There is no reason for me to rush this decision. If other dates come along, I'll see what those are. If nothing ever comes along, I'll probably wind up going to NO.

    this fest is different-not comparable to rock fest or smaller blues and jazz fests
    hard to explain, but its been very popular with VIPs for a very long time

    anyway, we shall see-hard to believe they would have a VIP front section for MMJ or PJ

    JazzFest is not really like other festivals, so if you're tired of typical festivals (which I usually can't stand), JazzFest is still worth it. It's cheap, the food is reasonably priced and delicious, it doesn't sell out, it's a huge community event as well as an event that people return to from all across the globe year after year, plus it's in New Orleans. It's in a league of its own and Pearl Jam just makes it that much more of a sweet deal. It's a good excuse to get back to NOLA :)

    Exactly- I've always wanted to see a PJ show in New Orleans, but I was hoping for a regular show. I went to Roo a couple of years ago- and had the time of my life- but there's nothing like a proper PJ show
