Here are the Southern Decadence questions that we get asked
most often.
If you don't find the answer to your question,
please email us at
info@southerndecadence.net
Q. When is
Southern Decadence Weekend in 2008?
A.
Southern Decadence is always Labor Day Weekend. In 2008, the
Southern Decadence
dates are Wednesday, August 27 through Monday, September 1.
Q. What is
the minimum age for admission to Southern Decadence events?
A.
It's 18 to enter, 21 to consume alcohol for
all events at The Bourbon Pub / Parade. Much of Southern
Decadence (including Sunday's parade) takes place in the
streets of the French Quarter, and is open to the general
public.
Q. What does a
Southern Decadence Weekend Pass
include?
A.
If you want to save money and don't like to
wait in line, this is for you. Purchase a Weekend Pass
and enjoy Free Admission to nightly Southern Decadence
events at
The Bourbon Pub / Parade. You will have full access to
the Priority Entrance, which
allows you to bypass the general admission line.
You will also receive a free seven-day full membership to
the "Mardi Gras Boys Street Fair Men" website when
you pick up your Weekend Pass in New Orleans.
A weekend pass does not include admission to the Shirley Q.
Liquor and Lady Bunny shows, but advance tickets to these two
sure-sellout events may be purchased online. Weekend
Passes and advance tickets are on sale now. Click

to get yours now.
Q. Why should I purchase a
Weekend Pass online in advance instead of waiting until later?
A. 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. The weekend pass price will increase
as Southern Decadence approaches.
Q. Shirley Q. Liquor sold out two shows
last year in advance. Can I buy tickets in advance this
year?
A.
Yes, you may purchase Shirley Q. Liquor tickets online
in advance this year, on the same secure form used to buy
Weekend Passes. Shirley Q. Liquor performs upstairs at
The Bourbon Pub on Saturday afternoon. Advance tickets to the Lady Bunny show
on Friday are also available for
purchase in advance.
Q. How will I receive my Weekend Pass,
Shirley Q. Liquor and Lady Bunny tickets?
A.
When you purchase a Weekend Pass or tickets to
the Shirley
Q. Liquor and Lady Bunny shows online using
our secure server, you will receive a confirmation email once
your transaction is processed. Just follow the
instructions on the confirmation to pick up your purchases
when you arrive in New Orleans for Southern Decadence weekend.
It couldn't be easier.
Q. Can you recommend a hotel?
A.
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.
Q. Why should I book
my hotel room through the SouthernDecadence.net website?
A.
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.
Q.
Are cameras permitted at Southern Decadence events?
A.
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.
Q. Do many lesbians attend Southern
Decadence?
A.
While predominantly
a gay male event, a surprising number of lesbians have
discovered the unique fun of Southern Decadence, and return
year after year. Southern Decadence is for the entire
gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered community, and is
very well attended by all.
Q. I have an interest in the adult entertainment business.
Will I be able to meet and
speak with Chi Chi LaRue?
A.
Absolutely! Chi Chi will be at The Bourbon Pub / Parade throughout
Southern Decadence
weekend, and is always looking for new talent.
Q. Is it possible to purchase a
copy of the music played during Southern Decadence?
A.
Yes, most of the DJs featured during Southern Decadence at the Bourbon Pub /
Parade
will have CDs available for purchase at Hit Parade, located at the corner
of Bourbon and St. Ann Streets.
