Odd there has been no official announcement on this site, but tickets go on sale in like 20 minutes.

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

How cheap is cheap? I can't seem to find the link to the single day tickets or any info on them. When do the single day tickets go onsale?
