Jazz à Juan organisers hit the top

This year, an increase of 5% was noted in the number of paying visitors with a sale of, on average, 1753 tickets each evening. Only the youth ticket sales were down, decreasing from 5 to 2.5%, as the organisers chose not to apply a reduced price on the evening James Blunt performed.

On the other hand, the four evenings of the festival ticked all the boxes for jazz-lovers as more than 70% of the tickets were sold, particularly for the performances by James Blunt and Al Jarreau.

The first year with Internet booking was a clear success with more than 37% of the total ticket sales purchased from the comfort of festival goers homes at the click of a mouse.

The choice of performers this year has led many to chapeau the festival committee for their balanced programme of new stars, established artists and jazz legends, which undoubtedly helped the Jazz à Juan festival see one of its most successful years to date.
