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. Only a limited number of Weekend Passes are sold,
and VIP Weekend Passes always sell out before the weekend even starts.
If you purchase in
advance, you will save a few bucks compared to the cost of
nightly admissions. And credit cards may be used for
online purchases ... On-premises purchases are cash-only. |

|
|
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. |
