Hey guys -- looking forward to Voodoo but haven't purchased tickets yet. For those who have gone to Voodoo Fest in prior years, as far as I can tell purchasing VIP tickets do not offer better seating just access to perks - parking, bathrooms, rest areas etc. and a spot in covered pavilion seating WAY in the back (no way im sitting in the back!!). Is it really worth the extra dollars??
Also, for purpose of planning, is it like jazz fest with people claiming lawn with blankets, etc or are everyone just packed together? does the crowd "change over" with each set or must you grab your real estate early and not move? I am not expecting to be able to ride the rail -- dont have the stamina and like to partake a few beers and mingle around -- but would like to be no more than "half way back on the floor" distance if this were an arena show. thanks for input.
Unless someone has been lying to me, there is an entire area in front of Mccready for VIP.
See message #23 in this link for the pic. You can see the defined area up front to the right of the pic... directly in front of the stage!
thanks!! i think you are correct ..... voodoo fest webpage now explicitly states VIP credentials gets access to front of stage seating. done deal, i am purchasing VIP credentials!!!!!!!!!
I was fortunate to get free VIP the year STP played and they are terrible seats. Pretty far from the stage and not worth it. You get 2 drink tickets and some food. Way over-priced. Buy the weekend pass and get a reasonably priced hotel from TravelZoo. Usually the Wyndam is available for $90 for the night and downtown is about a 15 minute cab ride to the venue.
I'm a little worried about the rest of the lineup but hope they announce soon and hurry up and announce when PJ will be playing. I'm thinking Friday is the best bet. No way they play Sunday

Anyone know which date PJ is going to perform at Voodoo? I've got the opportunity to go - very excited! Just want to know which date they'll be on stage just so I'm sure I'm in town for it.
Any idea? :-)

God I hope something leaks soon... I imagine PJ might be reserved for the 3rd (which would probably work best for me)... But I'm going no matter what!! Pretty pleased w/ this decision :-)

well i won't be able to make it. I know it's early but if there's a NOLA themed PJ shirt (like the Wrigley stuff we're seeing now) can someone pick me up one??? PLEASEEEEEEEEE.

If one comes out, and you remind me I will try to get you one! Just pm when it gets closer

Put your party boots, singing shoes, and drinking glasses on as we're going to get down and dirty for this MOFO. Wrigley was beyond EPIC and I doubt anything will beat that for me unless I see them in a small town in Italy one day but seeing them in my hometown is tough to beat.
As Joanna mentioned, we are planning a party with The Five Horizons Foundation. We're looking at raising money for Team Gleason (ALS) and Autism. More details to come soon as I will be conducting a small army of PJ pub crawlers to scoop out our party sites. If PJ plays on Saturday or Sunday, we should have a our own little PJ pub crawl the day before.
"I'll ride the wave, where it takes meeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
they announced the rest of the lineup minus the 3rd headliner. The Revivalists are really good!
I am very disappointed in the lineup. Will not take away from the weekend but was looking for a deeper mix of artists. It got thin very quickly in that group.
Who should I brush up on from the list that came out today?
I can tell you which New Orleans bands I like. So, if you have time and you're interested in experiencing all sorts of New Orleans music (brass bands, jazz, quirky, bounce, etc...we do a lot of shit here!), these are my suggetions:
Preservation Jazz Hall Band
Flow Tribe
Quintron & Miss Pussycat
Big History
I hope they announce the third headliner soon! The anticipation is killing me!
ALSO, if anyone plans on being here for the weekend, there are usually a lot of great post-Voodoo shows. I'll keep you up to date once things start getting announced.

This may be old news, but I just noticed on the tour list on the new PJ app that the New Orleans show is listed as being November 1st. I hadn't seen anything from VooDoo confirming what night they would play.
I think the rumor is they'll play the 1st, but it's not confirmed. If you check the tour page on the website, it says Nov 1 on the far left, but then under the section where you "buy" tickets, it's still listed as Nov 1-3 TBD.
Nitro, you can email me and I'll make sure myself, Joe, or Tavis get with you. Do you live in New Orleans?
Dear people coming from out of town, looking for fun things to do -
Rebirth Brass Band is playing the last show of Jazz in the Park on October 31st. This is in Armstrong Park, which is just across Rampart Street from the French Quarter, and the music is from 4pm-8pm. You won't be disappointed!
Quick question, I hope someone has the answer. Would Loa VIP tickets get me access in front of the stage or is it just a designated area off to the side (like some other typical festivals)? Thanks for the help.
