Seems expensive - Is that the normal price?

Shame it used to be free

[Big Boy]

Seems expensive - Is that the normal price?

No, but it's moved off of the beach, and into True Arena.

The hoi polloi aren't needed in a top class place like the Thai Riviera. There'll be plenty of Bangkok "hisos" and well-to-do farangs to give True Arena and the organizers a decent profit.

[KhunLA]

Seems expensive - Is that the normal price?

Yes, for international headlining performer, such as Kenny G.
But not sure about the venue, guessing outdoors on the football pitch. And at the start of rainy season ... risky if outdoors.

Kenny G in USA start at same price & up, for just him, and maybe 45 min, at best opening act, if any. And he'd play for maybe, 1.5 hr ... maybe.

You could buy his CDs and hear the same solos he's going to play at the concert.

As far as the price goes, If he's bringing a band that's a lot of money. Top players aren't going to leave the country for the same money they'd make at home. Depending on who's in the band, in the US they'd make a minimum of $1000 to $3000 a performance, + rehearsals. Add international transportation & a hotel room for each player & I really don't see how a Thai promoter could break even, let alone make a profit.

If they put the stage where they've put it before, we'll be able to see parts of it (and certainly hear it, probably at a higher volume than we'd like) from our house, since it overlooks the football pitches at True Arena.

Hua Hin Jazz Festival returns next month

https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/events/ ... next-month

Sunshine and the sound of saxophones is expected to draw tourists to Hua Hin next month for the return of the city’s annual jazz festival. The International Jazz & Blues Festival 2022 will take place on May 9 at the True Arena, a two to three hour drive south of Bangkok. The festival will feature a 90-minute performance from Jazz musician Kenny G, marking his debut in Thailand.

Hua Hin’s annual Jazz festival, which is finally back after a three year Covid-19 hiatus, is known for being one of Thailand’s most family-friendly music events.

Grammy award-winning artist Kenny G will headline the festival. The lineup also includes jazz fusion artist DRAGONFLY, Thai jazz singer Varitda Bhirombhakdi, Melodic Corner, Mellow Motif and blues artist Yamin & The SOS.

Tickets are on sale now and prices range from 2,000 – 5,000 depending on the package. Tickets can be bought here through the Thai Ticket Major website. https://www.thaiticketmajor.com/concert ... -2022.html

The event has a lower capacity than usual year due to Covid-19 restrictions with a maximum of 3,500 people. Attendees must be fully vaccinated – at least two doses – or show proof of a negative antigen test result issued within 72 hours of the festival.

Hua Hin Jazz Festival began in 2001 and has traditionally featured both established musicians and new local talents. The Tourism Authority of Thailand and event sponsor Singha Corporation are confident that the beachfront event, with its celebrated music and food, will draw holidaymakers to Hua Hin next month.

Can you see the beach from the top row seats at True Arena?
