Big Cheif experience at New Orleans Jazz Festival

Ok it is almost time for the NO Jazz festival.  Last year was my first time attending and I had no idea what ticket to buy. I knew I wanted a premier experience but  when I researched online where the seats were compared to the stages, it was very confusing.  I didn't want to be in the sun for four days, but I also did not want to be so far away from the stages that I couldn't see anything.  I took a chance and bought the Big chief experience.  I am SO GLAD I did.   When we went into the festival with that  incredible excitement you get when you go for the 1st time, we were welcomed in with our own special line and directions to the Big Chief Building.  What is the Big Chief Building you ask?  Well it is a air conditioned room with Big screen TV's, Bar tenders serving mimosa's, Coolers with good old fashion dove bars, tables of sweet treats, baskets of salty munchies and that is just a few of the perqs.  Now I am not one to stay away from the real thing. (The Tunes) so off we went.  We checked out every stage our first day.  "OH THE MUSIC." Ok I digress. The seats at the big stages were a little further then I  wanted but I have to say in the big scheme of things, they were the best out of the choices.  They offered shade, beer and wine without lines, great people and most important, especially for the ladies.  Clean and  cool bathrooms.  "We are talking the real thing." No outhouses.  Now anytime we went to the smaller stages you were aloud to go up front right behind the  section reserved for the Grand Marshall VIP pass.  This was my 2nd choice of  ticket as you get to stand right on the stage, at every stage.  "Standing is the relative word here" No thank you on four days of standing. Yes I am a wimp".  I have to say my first experience at the NO jazz festival will be on the top of my favorite memories list forever.. Oh and did I mention I never want to miss a year of the heritage festival fun again.   Big Chief experience at New Orleans Jazz Festival.
