Due to high demand, the National Gallery of Art has implemented a lottery system for tickets to Jazz in the Garden. Each concert will have a separate lottery which will open Monday at 10 a.m. and close Friday at noon. Results of the lottery will be announced via email the Monday prior to each concert at 10 a.m.
In addition to the lottery system, a limited number of passes will also be available at all entrance gates starting at 5 p.m. on a first-come, first-served basis.
Registration is required to attend and all guests over the age of 2 must have a reservation. Attendees can reserve up to four passes per reservation.
