Free Tickets! Special Discounts!

Jazz Week

Live jazz will be more accessible and affordable than ever during Jazz Week '09. JazzBoston has put out the call to venues and presenters to offer free tickets and discounted cover charges for selected shows from April 25 to May 3. We've also asked businesses providing music-related products and services to join the Jazz Week celebration by offering special discounts. 

All offers will be posted on this page as they come in, so check often for updates. Also, see our Chefs Jam for Jazz Week promotion for restaurants offering specially priced jazz-inspired lunch and dinner menus all week.

Note that ticket offers and discounts vary from venue to venue. Some offers require advance reservations, others are good at the door. Just mention Jazz Week when you make your request.
