How long are the sets, generally speaking?  I find it so odd that it's over at 7pm.


(am I concealing my inner freakout at all?)   :D :D :D :D :D

On the site it shows MMJ performing the first weekend with the very first artist on the list being TBA...anyone have a feeling this could be Phish.  I sure hope so...Phish & MMJ at the same festival in New Orleans no less.  Wow, I'm getting excited just typing about it.  

Would love to see Trey on stage with the Jacket or Jim on stage with Phish.  
And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

God I hope so...It's exactly what I told my brother.
Because we're all in this together...

Some of the smaller bands, kid's tent sets, and Indian sets are 30-45 mins.

Most of the sets are an hour, and the bigger names are an hour and a half-ish.  Panic might get a double slot of 3 hours.

Depending on who's running the stage, the closing act may play a song or two beyond the closing time.  Acura Stage, Congo Square, and Gentilly Stage (where I hope MMJ plays) sometimes go beyond the cut off.  Not by a whole lot, but maybe a song or two.

I think tix are on-sale already.  It does not sell out.  At the gate you will pay more.  From the site:

Adult ticket package: $40 per day x 3 tickets ($120)
(a limited number of ticket packages are available)
Includes three date-specific tickets, one for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Not sure when single day tickets will go on-sale -- but if you can, go for a full weekend.  :)

My tickets say i am viewing the acura stage (first weekend). So there is a chance i cant see MMJ?

Hmmm, did you buy one of the special VIP packages?

In any case, you are free to roam to any stage at any time to see any act that you choose.   The also use big video screens at the big stages so that if you're really far back you can still watch.  

There are VIP bleachers at the bigger stages which, IMO, are too far away.

I think the weekend packages did sell out last year, but I'm not positive. I seem to remember scrambling to get mine in February and then hearing they sold out.

Try to get whatever tix you're getting in advance. Those lines are icky.

Also, it was asked elsewhere, but I believe the TBA is Simon and Garfunkel.
God sure baked a lot of fruitcake, baby.

I talked to Ben, the tuba player/creative director for the Preservation Hall Jazz Band tonight and he said that MMJ is playing on April 24th.  He also said they will be joining Preservation Hall on stage the next day.  Now he may have meant just Jim because that was how we got to talking about Jazzfest in the first place.  Either way, that's pretty awesome.  Almost, ALMOST makes me wish I still lived within a days drive of NOLA.

yeah, i got the krewe VIP tix. probably a ripoff, but i thought it might increase my chances of getting closer to the stage and apparently we wont have to wait in line for beer. I dont think i would be able to get up front with GA tix. either way, this just sounds too awesome to pass up.

now i am to the point of wondering what the set will be. will it be covers? new stuff?

hahaha....that is so true...money becomes no object and the distance means nothing..I have to agree with you on that.

the Krewe VIP seem to be the best option if you want to be up close, they cost like 550.00 per ticket

I'm wondering if i can pull off 500 for tix, 300 for a flight, and another 150.00 for a room... or just wait till they have a full o :on tour and follow them for two weeks
