Tickets for July 7 went on sale Tuesday morning. The festival announced a new tiered ticket pricing structure for this year’s event that gives early ticket buyers an “exclusive deal.”
“There are 250 Tier 1 tickets available for July 7, at $65.00 (plus tax and service charge), followed by 250 Tier 2 tickets at $70,” the festival said. “From there, tickets cost the regular advance price of $80 until capacity and/or day of show (which increases to $90 DOS).”
The announcement comes after a rebrand launch last week, which renamed the event from Saskatchewan Jazz Festival to Sask Jazz Fest.
The festival said more headliners will be announced on March 3 and March 6.
