Introducing…The Grand Marshal VIP Pass
For the first time, a very limited number of Jazz Fest fans can upgrade their Festival experience to a pass that allows exclusive access to an upfront, golden circle viewing environment at the Festival’s three main stages: The Acura Stage, The Gentilly Stage, and The Congo Square/State of Louisiana.
The Grand Marshal VIP Pass is designed for the Festivalgoer who wants the luxury of moving from stage to stage, combined with the thrill of seeing Jazz Fest’s world-class performers up close. In 2006 and 2007, Grand Marshal VIP ticketholders would have enjoyed front-stage viewing privileges to see artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Jimmy Buffet, Rod Stewart, Lionel Richie, Dave Matthews, Norah Jones, John Mayer, Harry Connick Jr., Paul Simon, John Legend, Bob Dylan, Ludacris, Bonnie Raitt, The Meters Reunion, Jill Scott, Keith Urban, ZZ Top and many others.
The 2008 Jazz Fest music lineup will be announced early next year, but interested patrons are encouraged to purchase their Grand Marshal VIP Passes early. (The Big Chief VIP Experience, the Festival’s only other premium package, sold out in both 2006 and 2007.)
The Grand Marshal VIP Pass is sold by specific weekend and includes re-entry privileges (pedestrian only). A very limited number of Grand Marshal packages that include reserved parking are available.
1st Weekend (April 25, 26, 27) three full Festival days
$450; or $600 with daily reserved parking
2nd Weekend (May 1, 2, 3, 4) four full Festival days
$500; or $700 with daily reserved parking
