Below we've listed the benefits of each pass so that you can compare side-by-side to find out which experience suits you best.
Patron Experience Pass
The on-stage viewing area offers an up close show and spectacular mountain views!
By far the most luxurious pass option, the Patron Experience features exclusive top-notch amenities making for a truly memorable festival. Patron pass-holders are treated with access to an on-stage viewing platform and a full stage-side hosted bar. In addition, pass-holders receive backstage access to a dedicated Patron Area serving catered meals throughout the weekend. Pass-holders start the weekend with a catered welcome reception followed by a private opening concert, an open bar all weekend long showcasing the best in craft beer, wine and specialty cocktails, entry to “Jazz After Dark” on both Friday and Saturday nights, access to the Patron/VIP Area inside the Festival, seated viewing area in front of the Main Stage and much more. A portion of each Patron Pass, $400, is tax-deductible charitable donation to the Telluride Society for Jazz.
