My cousins and I are so grateful to the Essence Music Festival for this unexpected opportunity. This was our first visit to the New Orleans Superdome but it will not be our last. There was so much excitement! We had an memorable experience and we hope to see you again next year...

Thank you so much Vet Tix for a great experience. I finally know how to utilize the website and app. I have heard about Vet Tix for about 10 years know and when I first tried it, I didn’t know how to use it and deleted the emails. A couple years ago, a fellow veteran reminded me of the benefits and I have finally be able this year to utilize the benefits. I’m so behind but that’s okay because I was finally able to attend the essence festival for the 1st time! Thank you to everyone that made this happen.

Thank you Essence Music Festival! This was my first time attending and because of the wonderful experience, I've already booked my hotel for the full weekend for 2026! While my college student did not attend the concert, she came with us to the Convention Center for the daytime activities and thoroughly enjoyed herself even meeting representatives from Disney - she's an animation major! It was an experience she will never forget all thanks to you! My husband and I, pictured, enjoyed the entire concert and the seats were great. I sweated my sleek ponytail out singing along and husband, a graduate of the Southern University and A& M College during the late 90s rapped along with No Limit until he was almost hoarse. A good time was had by all!

Thank you Essence Festival for the donation! Being able to secure tix for Sunday while we were there gave me such joy! This was on my bucket list to attend one year, and it finally came true. I didn’t have the finances to pay for the entire trip traveling from Ohio, but when I secured vet tix for Friday I used all my resources for the trip. We booked flight for Monday just in case I got Sunday co cert in the lottery. We had a ball and I’ll definitely start coming every year. I have been sharing my experience with everyone and hopefully encouraging more to attend next year. This was self care weekend for me, a true stress reliever . It was so exciting seeing some of my old school faves Sunday night
