|
Why should I purchase a Weekend Pass
online in advance instead of waiting
until later? |
| |
There are good reasons to purchase
a Weekend Pass
online. We only sell a limited number of Weekend Passes,
and we sold out last year before the weekend even started. And if you purchase in
advance you will save a few bucks compared to the cost of
nightly admissions. |
| |
|
|
Will I receive a refund for a Bourbon
Pub / Parade Weekend Pass should a tropical storm interfere with
Southern Decadence? |
| |
Yes, The Bourbon Pub / Parade
will promptly refund any unused advance purchases should Mother
Nature interfere with Southern Decadence events. So it is
absolutely safe to make your Bourbon Pub / Parade purchases now and save a bundle.
Please note that some other venues did not refund advance
purchases as a result of Hurricane Gustav in 2008. |

|
How will I receive my Weekend Pass? |
| |
When you purchase a Weekend Pass online using
our secure server, you will receive a confirmation email once
your transaction is processed. Just follow the

It couldn't be easier.

|
|
Can you recommend a hotel? |
| |
There are numerous hotels in the French Quarter
and surrounding areas that we can confidently recommend.
Please check our
Southern Decadence Hotel page. And this year there
will be a large convention in New Orleans over Labor Day
weekend, so it is best to make hotel reservations early. |
| |
|
|
Why should I book my hotel room through
the SouthernDecadence.net website? |
| |
We are affiliated with some of the largest online hotel booking services
in the world,
and offer special Internet rates at many of New Orleans’
finest hotels. It is unlikely that
you will find better hotel deals
anywhere else online. Rooms are booking fast and many of the best
deals are already gone. So don't delay. |
| |
|
|
Are cameras permitted at Southern Decadence events? |
| |
Of course, cameras are
permitted on the streets of the French Quarter. Each
venue establishes their own policies regarding the on-premises
use of cameras, video recorders and camera cell phones. |

|
|
Do many lesbians attend Southern
Decadence? |
| |
While predominantly a gay male
event, a surprising number of lesbians have discovered the
unique fun of Southern Decadence, and return year after year. And
in 2010, a new lesbian event produced by GirlBar in Los Angeles
will debut on Sunday afternoon.
Southern Decadence is for the entire gay, lesbian, bisexual and
transgendered community, and is very well attended by all. |
