Decoding the ticket system for the virtual NAF

-

The Festival will have various options for audiences wanting to enjoy the virtual experience - from a small taster to a complete feast. Tickets start from as little as R 25 each and a Full VNAF Festival Pass will cost you R600 for hundreds of hours of enjoyment. Buy any pass or ticket and you can watch whenever you want to until 16 July 2020. Here’s a guide to the different tickets and experience­s.

VNAF Daily Programme Pass

Enter the world of amazing online by checking out the Daily Programme. The Daily Programme has been carefully curated by the Festival and will allow you to sit back and be entertaine­d. You will have the option of buying a Day Pass for R80 per day (this includes about 4-6 hours of viewing) or

VNAF Full Festival Pass

If you want to lose yourself in the 2020 experience it is well worth investing in a R 600 Full Festival Pass which will give you access to all eleven days of the Daily Programme. The Full Festival Pass also includes all the jazz on the Standard Bank Jazz Festival. Festival passes don’t include access to the vfringe and the Festival is hoping that online Festival audiences will support artists on the vfringe who are taking home 90% of their ticket price.

Jazz Pass

Mad about jazz? If you only want to access the jazz on the Standard Bank Jazz Festival programme then you can buy a R 400 Jazz Pass for hours and hours of power jazz!

The vfringe Tickets
