For the first time, discount tickets for the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival’s “Locals Thursday” can be purchased online in advance, the festival’s producers announced Monday.
In past years, Louisiana residents could only buy a pair of $50 Thursday tickets at the gate that day.
In 2022, that resulted in epic lines at the ticket booths for a Thursday headlined by hugely popular country act Luke Combs.
Looking to head off any such bottlenecks this year, the festival will start selling “Locals Thursday” tickets on Tuesday at 12 p.m. via www.nojazzfest.com or the Jazz Fest app. The online presale ends at 11 p.m. Wednesday.
The online price is $50 per ticket, the same as “Locals Thursday” tickets purchased at the gate, with no additional fees.
Purchasers must use a credit car with a Louisiana zip code in the billing address.
The presale Thursday tickets are mobile only, non-printable and non-transferable. Customers who purchase two tickets must enter the Fair Grounds with their guest.
“Locals Thursday” tickets will also be available at the gates on Thursday for $50. At-the-gate tickets on Friday, Saturday and Sunday are $95.
Acts scheduled to appear this Thursday include Santana, Buddy Guy, Leon Bridges, Morgan Heritage, Larkin Poe and car salesman turned crooner Ronnie Lamarque.
