The 2011 Barbican International Jazz and Blues Festival starts today transforming the Barbican into an action packed festival full of colour with a vast lineup of live local & international acts playing a wide range of Jazz and Blues music.
There is something to suit everyones tastes. Many of the acts are free to listen to, but for access to the festival’s main stage – within a licensed marquee at the centre of the all-new Festival Village on Commercial Wharf you’ll need to pick up a handy stroller ticket.
Festival Stroller Tickets – For access to festival the Marquee
The Stroller Tickets give entry to the Festival’s main stage. The marquee will have a rolling programme of excellent live local, national and international acts.
Festival-goers can choose:
– Weekend Stroller wristbands, for £40 each, giving unlimited access to the Festival Marquee every day and evening of the Festival.
– Half-Day Stroller tickets, for £10 each, giving access to the Festival Marquee daily either from 11am to 7pm, or from 7pm until 11pm.
There will also be a limited number of tickets for each marquee gig, priced at £6, on sale at the marquee entrance just before each gig.
Stroller tickets are available online from www.barbicanjazzandbluesfestival.com and on sale from the Barbican Tourist Information Centre.
NB: Individual concert tickets will only be available on the door subject to space after stroller ticket holders have been seated. Due to the limited size of the venues a ticket does not guarantee entrance. Stroller ticket holders must make sure they arrive at the venue early to get a seat.
