Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam Updates

VIP Ticket Price Increase, Pepsi Southern Original Finalists, Clear Bag Policy

Nashville, Tennessee – Organizers of the Fifth Annual Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam, set for Labor Day Weekend, September 1-3, 2017 at Frank Brown Park in beautiful Panama City Beach, Florida, announced VIP Pit Experience Tickets increased from $439 to $469 starting Friday, August 4. Jason Aldean, Little Big Town and Luke Bryan are set to headline the exciting Festival, and they will be joined by 18 other acts over the three days.

Over 25 artists competed in three cities for the title of 2017 Pepsi Southern Original. The Top 5 artists from 2017 will join the Top 5 finalists from 2016 to perform for the top prize. The finals are set for Thursday, August 31 at Ms. Newbys in Panama City Beach. All 10 acts will perform, and the winner will open the Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam on Sunday, September 3. The Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam staff would like to thank HWY 20 Entertainment for coordinating the competition again this year.

“It was difficult to narrow down the finalists from such great talent,” said executive producer Rendy Lovelady about the Pepsi Southern Original Finalists. “We’re excited for fans to check out all of these acts and see the winner on the big stage a few days later.”

Lovelady also emphasized the Festival’s “Clear Bag Policy” for patrons entering the Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam. Similar to the NFL and other major events, attendees may carry one large clear bag about the size of a one-gallon Ziploc bag or no larger than 12″x6″x12″. In addition, a small clutch purse no larger than 4.5″x6.5″ is permitted. Ticket holders are encouraged to visit www.GulfCoastJam.com/entry for additional items that are allowed or prohibited from being carried onto the Festival grounds.

In addition to the headliners, Brett Eldredge, Tyler Farr Lee Brice, Kip Moore, Dan + Shay, Granger Smith, Luke Combs, Colt Ford, Kane Brown, The Oak Ridge Boys, Darryl Worley, Diamond Rio, William Michael Morgan, The Railers, Gal Friday Band, Them Dirty Roses and Muscadine Bloodline are all scheduled to entertain during the action-packed weekend.

VIP Side Stage and Skybox tickets are already sold out, and a very limited number of VIP Golden Circle remain at $699. Fans are encouraged to follow Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam on FacebookTwitter and Instagram for exclusive pop-up offers.

Preferred Lodging Packages are available exclusively from one of the official Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam lodging partners and includes a condo or hotel, access to a special viewing area between General Admission and VIP sections and exclusive entry line to festival grounds. Prices vary based on accommodations.

Military Tickets are available for $109, and that price will not increase. The ticket includes all General Admission benefits. Military ticket holders must hold a current or former military ID and present it at gate upon entry. Active and separated military may purchase tickets for immediate family, and the entire group must be present and escorted by the ID holder upon entry.

Special Early Entry Passes are available for $40 for one day or $75 for all three days. Early Entry gates will open at 1:30pm. An Early Entry Pass is not a ticket but allows ticket holders to enter 30 minutes early to claim a spot within their ticket section with a maximum of 2 chairs per pass.

More information about all tickets and package can be found here.

Music will begin each day at 2:00pm, so festival goers can spend the morning taking a leisurely walk on the beach, enjoying the bright sunshine, grabbing lunch at one of Panama City Beach’s wonderful restaurants or checking out other area attractions before heading to the concert grounds for an afternoon and evening of entertainment.
