Organizer of both events, George Wein said, "Last year's festivals were an amazing experience to those who attended and we feel that the 2010 festivals will surpass the success of many of the past events. I want it to be as easy and affordable as possible for the jazz and folk fans of Newport and the surrounding areas to attend these unique events which have become so much a part of Newport's and Rhode Island's cultural history. That is why we are making General Admission tickets available to local buyers at the reduced price of $50 for a limited time only."
