EVENT CANCELLATION POLICY: The cost of each VIP Donor Pass for the JAS June & Labor Day Experience (Gold, Silver, or National Council Membership) includes a fair market value component for admission to the event and a tax-deductible donation, which supports JAS year-round education and programming. In the event that the event is canceled for any reason, only the fair market value (FMV) component will be refunded or credited for future use. The tax-deductible donation will not be refunded under any circumstances, including if the event is canceled, as your donation and tax deduction will be acknowledged (per IRS rules) in the year in which you made the donation. JAS cannot carry forward this donation to the following year under any circumstances. JAS proudly uses the tax-deductible contribution in furtherance of JAS’ mission of music education and performance programming.
If you elect to receive a credit for the FMV to a future event, if the ticket for the future event includes a tax-deductible contribution component or increased FMV, you will need to pay the difference in connection with the new ticket value. For example, if you purchased a ticket to an event for $1,500 that included a $500 fair market value component and a $1,000 tax-deductible donation, if the event is canceled you would be entitled to a refund of $500 or a $500 credit against a ticket for a future event with JAS.

Your guests will need to create an AXS account to receive tickets. Guests can transfer the tickets back to you if they can’t attend or you can cancel the transfer if they have yet to set up their AXS account.

SERVICE ANIMALS – Definition, Policies, and Procedures
JAS welcomes and supports the rights and attendance of all persons with disabilities who rely on the special skills of a trained service animal. What we DO NOT support, nor will tolerate, are pets being misrepresented by their owners as service animals, when in fact they are not. So please, don’t do it. Leave your pet at home. We mean it!
Service Animal Definition:
A ‘service animal’ means “an animal that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability. The work or tasks performed by a service animal must be directly related to the handler’s disability.”
Emotional support or comfort animals are not considered service animals under the ADA and therefore are not allowed at JAS.
Please note that all service dogs, including those from out of state, are subject to local dog ordinances, which include a valid rabies certificate.
Service Animal Policies:
For our patrons with disabilities who wish to bring their legitimate service animal to JAS, we ask that you review and follow the policies outlined below:
- Service animals must be accompanied by the handler with the disability at all times.
- Service animals must be under the control and supervision of their handler at all times.
- Service animals are not permitted to be left in camp unattended under any circumstances.
- Handlers are required to be prepared for, and clean-up after, their animals at all times.
- We reserve the right to remove and/or refuse access to any service animal from the venue if that animal is deemed to be a health or safety threat to festival patrons, staff, or other service animals, or in violation of these policies.
- All service animals must be credentialed by the JAS staff (see the procedures below).
SERVICE ANIMAL PROCEDURES:
All patrons with disabilities attending JAS this year with a service animal will need to have that animal credentialed by JAS staff before entering the main gate. This process will be performed quickly and respectfully by our Accessibility Staff.
What will you need to do? It’s easy. Once you arrive at JAS, come to the information booth in front of the accessible parking area. Staff will speak with you, record your contact information, and provide a collar tag for your service animal. Then you are good to go! Security/Staff will be on the lookout this year for all animals to have a properly credentialed JAS collar tag.
Remember, Service animals are allowed, all other dogs are not!
Keep the Jazz Green
Jazz Aspen Snowmass is committed to building a sustainable future by working with our partners and patrons to work towards a minimal waste event.
Commitment to Reducing Waste Creation:
Our touchless water stations provide fresh, clean water and reduce the creation of the equivalent of more than 13,500 plastic bottles over the festival weekend.
All food at the festival is served on compostable or reusable plates and utensils and a full-scale compost disposal system is in place. We have eliminated plastic “stir sticks” from the main field bars, eliminating over 20,000 pieces of plastic from the landfill.
Commitment to Waste Diversion:
We currently recycle all plastics, glass, and cardboard created by our back-of-house and bars and compost food waste. In 2016, we implemented a patron diversion program, allowing our festival guests to participate in the effort by separating their waste into the proper recycle, compost, or trash bins. In 2023, we reached 81% diversion. Please do your part by putting your waste in the correct bin!
Commitment to resource efficiency:
Since 1991, JAS has worked to be a positive force in the community, presenting and preserving jazz and related forms of music through world-class events, performances, and education programs. In strengthening our sustainability commitment, we aim to be a positive force on the environmental front as well. We provide a robust transportation system and are proud that over 2/3 of our guests arrive at the festival by bus.
New in 2024, we are working with our power partner to implement a battery storage system, which will allow us to significantly reduce the time our generators spend running and our diesel consumption.
