The Essence Festival is not as expensive as everyone thinks. They actually have cheap seats! You don't have to mortgage your house or take out a personal loan. In 2013, I bought cheap seat tickets for all 3 days of concerts, the tickets were $50.00 each with a 2.00 fee. Essence even has a 3-day package that is cheaper than buying the individual cheap tickets. In 2014 the cheap seats went up to $62.
Some good things about cheap seats:
- The cheap seats are warmer. The Superdome is known as the FreezerDome, so bringing a jacket is a must.
- The cheap seats are where the truly fun people are, if they stand up and dance (which they will), you can still see the stage or the Jumbo-Tron.
- No one will be in your seat when you comeback from the bathroom.
- The cheap seats are always available, even if everything else is sold out. People give away their cheap seat tickets A LOT on the last day.
- Someone in the cheap seats always wins the Grand Prize and giveaways.
- If you are traveling with a group, the cheap seats are affordable and within everyone's budget.
- You still get a free Essence Magazine subscription if you purchase cheap tickets
- With your cheap seat tickets, you will still be the envy of everyone who didn't have tickets to the Essence Festival.
- Cheap seat tickets make the best tip for a hardworking waitress or hotel worker.
- The cheap seats are great because they are cheap!
