I agree especially after listening to their latest show. Going to sound much different without Marco.

Same thing happened to me trying to buy the 2-day passes. Ended up having to buy GA on both days, with separate processing fees.

I got 2 day floor pass after refreshing a few times. Does VIP get anything besides balcony access?

Not worth it. Pit FTW

SOLDOUT SHOWS:
The Meters @ The Orpheum 4/22
JRAD @ The Joy 4/29&30

More ticketmaster awesomeness. Right now jazz fest tickets are "60". You only get the 60 price if you buy them at the Smoothie King center box office which is only open M-F 9 to 4:30. Online there is a 10 fee per ticket. I am thinking of going all 7 days so I'll pay $70 in fees.

It says tickets for Night 2 are still available on the Joy website right now.
