Brass Pass Details


WWOZ Brass Passes are a great way to enjoy Jazz Fest and help WWOZ bring you the best in New Orleans music 24/7.

2011 Brass Pass Features

  • Brass Passes are fully transferable. A different person can use the pass each day of the Fest. Passes are transferable from day to day but not within the same day. Whoever uses the Brass Pass to enter the Festival that day is granted full benefits on that day, any may not leave and transfer the pass to someone else on that same day.
  • The Brass Pass comes with an attached bar-coded laminate. Please be sure to keep them together for smooth entry to the Festival and Hospitality tent. The Brass Pass itself is not valid for admission, and entry will be denied if the accompanying bar-coded laminate is not present.
  • Enjoy the WWOZ Hospitality Tent with fresh fruit, iced coffee, tables & chairs, misters and separate bathrooms
  • Enter and exit through any of the public pedestrian gates, which include the Gentilly, Sauvage, Trafalgar and Shuttle Bus entrances. Please note that the Mystery Gate is not a public gate, and you may be rerouted if you attempt to enter at this gate.
  • Come and go as you please throughout the day via any one of the public gates listed above. You will not receive a wristband upon entry into the Festival, so before you exit please make sure to visit security personnel at the public gate to receive your re-entry wristband. You will not be re-admitted into the Festival without a wristband and your Brass Pass and bar-coded laminate. Please have all items ready to show gate personnel so you can quickly re-enter.

Other Helpful Brass Pass Info

  • The Brass Pass special lines are located at the Sauvage and Gentilly gates. You can enter through these special lines if you wish, but it is not mandatory.
  • There will be no vehicular in and out from the Accessible parking lot/gate.
  • WWOZ Will Call is located at the Sauvage Street entrance and may also be picked up from the ticket booth at the Jazz Fest Express lot.
  • Brass Pass holders may bring in one other person per day to the Hospitality Tent (not to the Festival itself). In addition, children under 12 may accompany their Brass Passer parents to the Hospitality Tent.
  • The WWOZ Hospitality Tent is wheelchair-accessible.

For the past two years, New Orleans Jazz Fest producers have unveiled the festival schedule in December; in 2007, they revealed a handful of headliners even earlier, in November. But all indications are that the announcement for the 2011 event will be sometime in January.
