On February 20, the price for a Brass Pass changed to $425 in accordance with price increases implemented by the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

Brass Pass Features

  • Brass Passes are now fully transferable! A different person can use the pass each day of the Fest. There will be no ID checks and anyone you choose can use your pass for a day. (Only one person per day.)
  • The Brass Pass is still a slab 'o brass, but now it comes with a bar-coded laminated pass — no more worrying about lost or soggy tickets.
  • Enter and exit through any of the public pedestrian gates
  • Come and go as you please throughout the day
  • Enjoy the WWOZ Hospitality Tent with fresh fruit, iced coffee, tables & chairs, misters and separate bathrooms 
  • You can access Jazz Fest with your Brass Pass if you ride the Jazz Fest Express shuttle, or use the Accessible car gate (with proper placard, $50 fee, very limited parking).

Other Helpful Brass Pass Info

1. 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.

2. There will be no vehicular in and out from the Accessible parking lot/gate.

3. 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.

4. Brass Pass holders may bring in one other person per day to the Hospitality Tent (not to the Festival itself). Children under 12, the elderly, and the disabled are also allowed in with a Brass Pass member to the Hospitality Tent.

WWOZ Hospitality Tent: A Testimonial

"To me the  WWOZ hospitality tent is an oasis in the middle of Jazz Fest.
It is where we do our broadcast, so there are always musicians and crafts people coming by.
It's an area where people are great music fans and also fans of WWOZ,
so you find great folks and have some wonderful conversations.
During Jazz Fest it is my home; I don't know what I would do without
it. I spend most of my time there whether I am broadcasting or not."
— WWOZ show host Tom Morgan
