Got your tickets yet? The Monterey Jazz Fest is about to get underway - September 17 - 19, 2010

About 13 year(s) ago by The Inns of Monterey

Its time to buy your tickets for the Monterey Jazz Festival! The number of three-day Arena Packages for this, the 53rd annual Fest, are dwindling.

An Arena Package provides intimate access to exclusive world-class music on the legendary Jimmy Lyons Stage, the site of countless musical memories and historic events since 1958. The Arena Package also allows jazz lovers to keep their seating choice year after year. Patrons get access to all the additional grounds venues as well, plus the ability to exit the fairgrounds and come back for the evening’s shows with the next Arena Show Ticket, so it allows the greatest freedom.

For jazz fans on a budget, the Single Day Arena Tickets are a great option to see the shows on the day of choice, while getting all the grounds festivities at the same time.

Arena Packages are available starting from $225, and include one reserved seat for each of five concerts on the Arena/Jimmy Lyons Stage, access to all performances and activities on seven additional Grounds Stages throughout the weekend, plus conversations, exhibitions, panel discussions, international shopping, food and beverages, and more. Arena Packages are on sale now at (925) 275-9255 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting and at www.montereyjazzfestival.org.

Where to stay while at the Fest? At the Inns of Monterey, naturally, a proud sponsor of this year’s Festival.
