Ticketing Philosophy
Beginning in 2025, the Jazz in the City series will move to a ticketed policy to ensure retention and support the program.

The museum uses a tiered fee structure for select events. Charging moderate fees allows the museum to invest in diverse and engaging programming, supports program costs, and helps us maximize event attendance. If you are able, we ask that you purchase a General Admission ticket; Community Access pricing is available to keep program tickets accessible. A limited number of no-cost tickets are available. If ticket cost is an issue for you for any reason, please contact learning@fryemuseum.org.
