Preservation Hall

Bit pricey, but a fun time!

Saw the Preservation Brass Band on a Monday night in March '24 Pros: Music was fun, energetic and played to perfection. Musicians stayed after for photos and a chat, so my teen jazz player enjoyed those interactions. Good merch selection. Cons: Short - about 45 minutes; Pricey (and you'll want to pay for front row to avoid standing, to avoid being behind a column blocking your view, and to not have to worry about getting on line ridiculously early - I'm glad we did); Small facility with no heat/AC and no bathroom.

$10 A Tune!

This is a tourist trap of a place that one hears abut and may think would be worth seeing. While waiting in line and told they had no rest room facilities and if needed one should go down the street and use those at Pat O’Brien. We were than herded into a crowded room and squeezed into seat. The performance was less than 40 minutes long with lots of talk and few songs. The music was good but not anywhere worth the cost. Better performances and values for the money may be found elsewhere.

Poor experience poor value avoid

I agree with the reviewer that said what a waste of money. Many people seem to enjoy the experience but our party of 6 did not. We paid $50 for circa 5 pieces of music. Herded in and out in 45 minutes we felt rushed and on a tourist conveyor belt. There are much better options although they require more work to find and book.
