OUR SECTIONS & ROOMS: SEATING LAYOUT

The seating style at Jimmy’s reflects that of a restaurant layout. Every seat at each table is a reservable ticket.

For example: If there are four seats available at a table and you purchase tickets for two of those seats, then the other two seats are still available for the public to purchase.

3RD FLOOR

• MAIN STAGE (MS)
• CASABLANCA (CB)
• SKY BAR (BAR)
• LIBRARY ROOM (TL)

4TH FLOOR

• ELLE’S MEZZANINE (EM)
• ELLE’S BALCONY (EB)

If you can’t make it to the Box Office at Jimmy’s Jazz and Blues Club to purchase tickets for an upcoming show, or our box office phone is closed, this link to our page on Ticketmaster is available to you 24/7. Jimmy’s Box Office and Ticketmaster uses the same ticketing system. You may only use one service at a time to complete a ticket purchase. Fees and charges differ based on how you order your tickets. Ticketmaster has both a service and facility fee, whereas the Box Office only charges a facility fee. All ticketing is done through Ticketmaster using digital eTickets.

Shows at Jimmy’s Jazz & Blues Club typically run for ninety minutes long. There are sometimes two 45 minute sets with a short intermission in between.

• ONE SHOW EVENING: At Jimmy’s Jazz & Blues Club your seats are typically available to you 2 hours prior to the show – which is when doors open – unless otherwise specified by Jimmy’s prior to the event.
• TWO SHOW EVENING: Doors open 30 minutes in advance and you will be able to enjoy full dinner service during the show.

Tickets & Fees are non-refundable and all sales are final. This includes tickets purchased through the box office, Jimmy’s phone services & online through Ticketmaster. We do not offer seat changes or upgrades. For extenuating circumstances, please call.

TICKETS PURCHASED ONLINE THROUGH TICKETMASTER.COM

A facility and service fee is added to each ticket purchased through Ticketmaster’s E-Delivery Online System. Verified Resale Tickets also have fees attached to each sale separate from the facility and service fee.

TICKETS PURCHASED THROUGH JIMMY’S BOX OFFICE

A facility fee is added to each ticket purchased. Like other organizations, these fees are used to help offset the costs of operating the box office as well as continuing to improve the facility. The service fee is waived if tickets are purchased at the box office window or through the box office phone service.

In New Hampshire, reselling legitimate tickets is legal (even at a higher price than the face value of the ticket). Tickets sold by resellers or brokers, including many online websites, often have substantial service fees and/or markup to the original price, resulting in prices that are significantly higher than face value. Additionally, when you purchase your tickets from anyone other than the Box Office at Jimmy’s Jazz and Blues Club, Jimmy’s Box Office cannot vouch for the seller’s credibility or the ticket’s authenticity. The most reliable way to purchase legitimate tickets at face value is to always begin your search on our website at jimmysoncongress.com and/or by calling the box office.

Ticketmaster provides the option of reselling your ticket as a Verified Resale Ticket but only if you purchased your tickets online at Ticketmaster.com. Please note that not every event is enabled for resale.

How to resell your tickets through Ticketmaster.

1. Select Tickets to Sell

2. Set Your Price

You’re in control. Set your price using our pricing tool and see exactly how much you’ll be paid when your tickets sell.

3. Get Paid

When your tickets sell, you’ll get paid via your selected method of payment typically within 5–7 business days, provided we have all the necessary information.

Your show tickets automatically serve as your dinner reservation, and you will be seated at the location indicated on your tickets. Full table and bar service are available throughout the performance; please note that our kitchen accepts dinner orders until approximately halfway through the show.

To complement our atmosphere of outstanding music, excellent cuisine, and fine drinks, Jimmy’s Jazz & Blues Club recommends business casual attire. During the summer, polished golf attire is also welcome. We kindly ask guests to refrain from wearing torn t-shirts, ripped jeans, or flip-flops. Management reserves the right to determine appropriateness of attire and refuse entry to ensure a comfortable experience for all guests.

Latecomers will be seated at the first appropriate pause in the performance, as predetermined by house staff and performers. Please remember to silence all electronic devices before entering the venue.
• We ask that you be respectful of others and behave in an appropriate manner related to the performance you are attending. It is never permissible to stand in any aisle space. Ushers and security representatives are available should you need assistance.

Jimmy’s Jazz & Blues Club is committed to the freedom of creative expression and serves as a platform for a diverse range of artistic voices.
