Festival Productions, Inc. – New Orleans provided seven (7) different Department Heads, within the City of New Orleans, between 284 to 424 free admission tickets to the Jazz Festival in 2017. The majority of the aforementioned Department Heads and their employees stated they were aware that they could not accept free tickets to the Jazz Festival for personal use. They also said they either did not use the tickets at all or only used the tickets for the purpose of conducting official City business. The Parks and Parkways Department “loaned” three gazebos to the Jazz Festival in 2017 without executing a “Hold Harmless Agreement” nor charging an equipment rental fee.
