Ticket Purchase Terms

No Guaranteed Seating or Refunds: All festival tickets and passes are sold on a non-refundable, non-exchangeable basis; all sales are final. Festival events are held rain or shine, and the performer lineup and schedule are subject to change without notice – no refunds or credits will be issued due to weather delays, schedule changes, or artist cancellations. 

We cannot guarantee entry into any one venue or seating once inside. Purchase of a higher-tier pass or VIP ticket does not guarantee a reserved seat or access to every performance; purchase of VIP or enhanced seating does not guarantee a seat at any level. Therefore, even premium “front-of-stage” sections are first-come, first-served:  there is no promise of a seat or space after the area has reached occupancy. If you intend to see a specific set, we recommend you plan to arrive early. As we cannot guarantee entry, please plan accordingly. DC Jazzfest tickets are non-refundable or exchangeable for any reason.
