We have the following passport types:

Festival pass/day pass: Festival pass gives you access to all the concerts during the entire festival/current day. For our club stages with limited capacity, a number of seats will be reserved for our audience with passes. It may be a good idea to be out in good time.
For concerts in Kongsberg Musikkteater and Sølvsalen, it will be possible to pre-purchase a seat ticket for NOK 25, and thus be guaranteed a seat. These seat tickets are made available on the Monday of the festival week.

This pass gives access to all our club stages and is tailored for anyone who loves jazz or is curious to explore new artists.
This pass gives access to around 35 concerts at Energimølla, Smeltehytta, Kongsberg Kirke, Argus, Galleri Låven, Steinhuset, Privat Bar, Kongsberg Musikkteater and Sølvsalen. A number of places are reserved here for those with a JAZZpass.
For concerts in Kongsberg Musikkteater and Sølvsalen, it will be possible to pre-purchase a seat ticket for NOK 25, and thus be guaranteed a seat. These seat tickets are made available on the Monday of the festival week.
