The Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival is one of the most highly anticipated musical events that the University of Idaho produces. As one of the largest and oldest jazz festivals in the world, it’s an event that sells out quickly. 

Tickets for the festival are on sale now, and they can be purchased online.

Ticket prices vary depending on the event, type of ticket or other possible discounts. 

Student tickets range from $25-35, and general admission tickets are $30-70. Season passes, which offer prices lower than individual tickets, range from $112-168.  

The jazz festival features over 400 student performances, world-class artists that perform and nearly 100 workshops, clinics and exhibits to attend.  

This has been a UI tradition since the 1960s to honor the late Lionel Hampton along with the art of music, dance and jazz.
