More Info
Note: Grand Marshal VIP ticketholders are part of an exclusive, up-close, standing-room only club of Festivalgoers. The stage-area pass does not allow the holder to camp out or to reserve space in the special viewing areas, all of which are chair-free zones. A festive flow of Grand Marshal patrons between performances throughout the day is part of the ethos of this priceless Jazz Fest experience. In addition, during some music sets, photography may be restricted by the artist on stage. At those times, cameras, other than simple point-and-shoot and cell phone cameras, will have to be put away. On occasion, photography may be prohibited entirely.
A Grand Marshal ticket is required for all children over the age of 2 to access the Grand Marshal viewing areas.
The Festival offers a payment plan for all VIP purchases.
Grand Marshal VIP tickets will be mailed in April.
