Three quarters of general admittance tickets for tomorrow night’s America’s Cup Jam have sold out.

Almost all the VIP tickets have also gone for the event headlined by Maxi Priest and Shaggy, organisers announced this morning.

A spokesman for Premier Tickets said in a statement: “Everyone has worked tremendously hard to get this event together and it is going to be an amazing night. With the acts that we have and the world-class sound and light system by Great Sound, I think it will be the party of the year.”

An AC Jam spokesman stated: “There is limited capacity and without tickets you will not get to see the concert — a mariner’s exclusion zone extending 100 metres from the concert dock will be enforced by the police in order to protect the race boats which will be moored close by, so the best place to see the concert is at the venue.”

Two charter boats will be docked at the concert and will act as floating private lounges for ticket holders. The UberVida will be available as a VIP option and will be docked in the VIP section; Calico Jack will be available as a general admittance option, docked in the general admittance area. Boat ticket holders can come on and off their boat throughout the concert.

Gates will open at 7pm tomorrow and the concert, at No 1 car park, on Front Street, presented by Fidelity International, will be MCd by Nadanja and Uzimon and opened by Bermudian act The Kings at 7.30pm.

Maxi Priest will come on stage at 8.15pm, Spice & Co Soca at 9.30pm and Shaggy at 11.15pm. The venue will close at 1am at the latest.

The spokesman added: “We have made sure that the concert is as accessible as possible and a wheelchair viewing area will be available at the border between GA and VIP. However, because of space, we will not be able to allow people to take coolers inside and there will be standing only and no seats.

“Anyone wanting seating for the concert is encouraged to purchase a VIP ticket or a ticket on UberVida or Calico Jack.

“We are also taking security very seriously and there will be security checks at all the gates including random bag checks.”

The general admittance entrance is at the east end of No 1 car park and the VIP entrance is by the Bird Cage. The VIP area will be open from 7pm and guests will have private bars, private food concession with VIP menus, tables, private bathrooms, beanbag chairs and a chill area.

The MEF group will provide food within the VIP area and VIP dinners can be purchased online in advance at www.ptix.bm.

Gosling’s will be running several bars inside the secured concert venue and MEF will also provide food within the GA area. The GA area will also include several large TV screens to ensure a great view of the concert at all times.

As well as today’s flash sale, tickets can be bought online at www.ptix.bm, the Premier Tickets office in Sofia House, Church Street, next to the General Post Office, and from information booths at the event village on Front Street.
