Juneau Jazz & Classics is a small festival with limited slots for performances. The organization does not have a formal application process.

Is there seating at Juneau Jazz & Classics? Is it reserved, or general admission?
Events are held in a variety of settings and venues. All venues contain seats. At our events which involve dancing, such as our blues events, it is possible that we will forgo some seating for dance floor space, and will sell more tickets than there are chairs. So that all may enjoy our performances, we ask that dancers be considerate of those in seats.
Entrance to the venues and seating is general admission and is available on a first come, first served basis.
Certain contributors, including Angels, Benefactors and Sponsors have advanced seating privileges through our Presto Pass Program. For more information in regard to this benefit, please refer to our Support Us page.
