Below you can find a brief description of the tasks that each individual committee handles. We hope that this makes for an easier choice when applying. Some committees require a special background or field of expertise, but for the majority, the key requirement is that you are friendly and service-minded. As a volunteer, you interact with artists and audiences alike, so you and your behaviour is key to maintaining our reputation as a friendly and intimate festival.

Comittee overview

The jazz store – sale of tickets and merch
Informing the audience about, and offering guidance related to, our lineup is equally important to selling tickets. As a ticket-seller, you will always be in contact with the audience and as such, we are looking for positive, service-minded coworkers. Before the festival begins, you will receive a briefing on the lineup, as well as training in the ticket- and payment software we use. You will work either the early or the late shift, and the work-location will be at one of our ticket offices at PLASSEN, in the main street, or in one of the stands located downtown if selling festival-effects. Experience from sales would be a bonus. A friendly and service-minded attitude is key.

Stand rentals
This committee administrates everything surrounding the rental of spaces for stands in the main street and is a very important service station for everyone renting with us. The members of this committee are located in their offices in City Hall or running between the stands in the main street.

Restaurant
In the eateries at PLASSEN, as well as in the festivals own sponsor-events, it is possible to work as a volunteer with tasks such as food-/beverage-sales and cleaning.
