Just in time for Christmas, Tri-C has announced it’ll offer discounted passes to this summer’s 40th anniversary of Tri-C JazzFest Cleveland. The festival takes place from June 27 to June 29 at Playhouse Square.

Starting today, fans can purchase a special $200 festival pass that includes VIP seating to all nine ticketed concerts, an invite to the opening night party, and other perks and discounts. The lineup will be announced on Jan. 24, a day after the deal expires. At that point, the price of a pass increases to $250.

“The regular pass price is already a bargain at $250,” says Terri Pontremoli, festival director, in a press release announcing the promotion. “And we can assure everyone that the lineup will be great. Plus, festival passes make great holiday gifts.”
