Member Pricing
NEW! J members must login to receive member ticket pricing. Please use the login credentials that you use to register for J classes and programs. Your discounted member price will be reflected in your cart upon checkout. Members may purchase a maximum of two tickets at the member price per event. There is a limit of four tickets per event per transaction; this applies to members and the public.
Premium Tickets are event tickets that include a book. These tickets can be found as a price level when you select the specific event. Books can be picked up before the Festival by contacting Myla Bell, at the Bookstore during the Festival, or at that specific author event.
Virtual Recordings
Select programs (Community Read with Sharon Kurtzman and Closing Night with Merryl Goldberg) will be available to view virtually via recording with a ticket purchase. The recordings will be available 48 hours after the event and will remain available until the end of 2026.
To purchase those tickets, select the option that says ‘Virtual Recording’ before the program name. Event recordings will be emailed 48 hours following the event to online viewing ticket buyers.
