Hell of a lineup

Pres Hall, Gary Clark Jr., The Head & The Heart, and Hurray For The Riff Raff all on the lineup.  I'd say the One Big Holiday bands are represented quite well.

I'm a stones fan, but what garbage this is. Tix to the festival every other day are $75. The thursday the stones play they are $185 and will be very limited. This is gonna piss a lot of hardcore jazz fest goers off I would imagine. Tons of folks book their travel plans way in advance, and now the thursday fest is essentially not available to them.

Thursday, May 2 General Admission Tickets

Price: $185
Day-specific Thursday, May 2 tickets are required for entry.
May 2 will be a limited capacity Jazz Fest day
Tickets are expected to sell out quickly
Second weekend single-day tickets are not valid on Thursday, May 2.

100% agree, I'm afraid that's the directions festivals are heading too.
