Comittee overview
The jazz store – sale of tickets and effect
Informing the audience about, and offering guidance related to, our lineup is equally important to selling tickets. As a ticket-seller, you will always be in contact with the audience and as such, we are looking for positive, service-minded coworkers. Before the festival begins, you will receive a briefing on the lineup, as well as training in the ticket- and payment software we use. You will work either the early or the late shift, and the work-location will be at one of our ticket offices at PLASSEN, in the main street, or in one of the stands located downtown if selling festival-effects. Experience from sales would be a bonus. A friendly and service-minded attitude is key.
