“We look forward to presenting another spectacular Club Pass Series for our 20th-anniversary edition with the highest level of creative music possible from around the world, this year due to skyrocketing price increases across the entertainment supply chain including 30 to 50 percent increases in artist fees, production, and travel, we must raise prices, which have remained the same for several years,” Producers Marc Iacona and John Nugent, said in a statement. “We truly believe that RIJF’s club pass series remains the heart of the jazz fest, and the Club Pass is a huge value and the hottest ticket in the American music scene. We greatly appreciate people’s understanding and loyal patronage over the years and thank them for purchasing tickets in advance and trusting in our programming.”
