orchestrated seating arrangements aimed at social distancing while providing outstanding views for audiences. With the stage situated in the outfield, the entire playing field area will be reserved for some 400 four-seat café tables (VIP seating). General admission will be open seating in the stands and a limited number of standing room only tickets will allow access to the grass outfield berm behind the stage, the Tiki Bar, and various concourse high-tops and picnic tables. This will be a reduced capacity event so advance tickets are highly recommended. Tickets are $25 for general admission; $10 for standing room; VIP tickets sold as tables on the field of 4 and 2 only, $200 per seat. Two day and four day weekend packages start at $40 and $80, plus fees. For more information, go to clearwaterjazz.com
