CATALINA JAZZ FESTIVAL 2017

Categories: Blog | Posted on Jan 17, 2017

It’s time to start planning for –

Catalina Jazz Trax on Catalina Island Oct. 12 – 16, 2017 (Thursday – Monday)
Cheap seat – $154 – gives you 5 shows – 1 on Friday night 6pm, 2 shows on Sat and Sunday – 12 noon and 6pm.
Cheap seats are good seats We had them last year. No problem. The next price is $215, then $295 and up.
THURSDAY (Oct. 12th) is Jazz on the Beach – 6pm – it’s $45. We bought tickets for this last year and got to Catalina too late to go. We went shopping for provisions instead.
Total price for 4 days – $199.00 
 
The rooms I got are at Pavilion Hotel – and easy walk to the concerts. A little more of an easy walk to the beach. Rooms range from $1150 for 4 nights to $1380 for 4 nights ($575 – $690 pp). The $1150 rooms are small and are on the first floor with garden patio. The $1380 rooms are kinda up the hill then up some stairs. Much larger room with fireplace, king size bed and a sofa. I would like this room BUT with my mobility issues and being of altered stated of consciousness after the show I am no good to deal with trying to get to that room up the hill then up stairs.  So, I’ve opted for the smaller first floor.  PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE UNTIL BOOKED.
 
Then there is airfare to Long beach and the round trip ferry ride to Catalina. The ferry does not have it’s prices up for that week, yet but some of us paid $51pp each way and some of us paid $31pp each way. So far, no airlines is booking for Oct. However, the prices could range from $97 rt to $118.00 rt per person. I charge $25 service fee per person.
 
An estimated cost per person is $1009.00. This does NOT include insurance which I HIGHLY recommend. That cost is based on the total cost of your trip and your birth date. I can help you with that later, however, restrictions apply if you are interested in coverage for “cancel for any reason” and flight coverage.
 
There are NO refunds for Jazz Trax nor Catalina Express – which is another reason why you would want to get insurance.
 
Jazz Trax  has announced Norman Brown, Rick Braun and Richard Elliot  – West Coast Jam. So far, that all we know. They will release names weekly as they get them. I don’t want to wait for the line up because hotels are too hard to get the longer you wait.
I can purchase your tickets to Jazz Trax as soon as you give me your credit card. I have already put up my credit card for rooms. You have until July 15, 2017 to put up your credit card. First come, first served on the rooms.
 
Let me know as soon as possible.
