HOW DOES THE SJCT WORK?
With 27 concerts on 23 locations the programme is so extensive that it is impossible to attend all concerts. You’ll have to make choices and compile your own
SummerJazzCycleTour. This page contains information and tips to help you plan your trip.
FIVE ROUTES
This year we’ve mapped out five routes, with various options to change over to a different route on the way. The routes are indicated in different colours on the map. The programme information also contains a route colour indication. On the road the routes are signposted with SummerJazzCycleTour signs.
FOUR STARTING POINTS
Each route has its own starting point. This year there are two routes with the same starting point (Aduard church). The starting points are the only places where you can buy an SJCT Go-as-you-please ticket, validate your e-ticket and purchase the brand new 2015 T-shirt. It is possible to pay by bank card at all four starting points!

TWO SETS
Performances start strictly on time. Every band plays two 45 minute sets. The exception to this rule are the starting points in the tent at Garnwerd and Nathan’s barn in Aduard. Here the bands will perform one 75 minute set. Between sets there will be a 30 minute interval. This may be used to cycle to the next venue.
GARNWERD TENT AS CENTRAL LOCATION
The tent near the windmill in Garnwerd is open all day for ticket sales, information, food and drinks. Various mobile catering services are posted near the tent. In the evening the nearby cafeteria ’t Woaterbörgje offers a special SJCT buffet meal. Tickets for this meal are on sale at the tent at € 11.00 each. The 2015 SummerJazzCycleTour will have its festive finale at 22.00 hrs in the tent with Black Flower.

SJCT RULES
One of the perks of the SummerJazzCycleTour is that you get to compile your own programme. But it is not possible to reserve seats for a particular concert. Nobody knows in advance how busy venues will be. In order to make things run as smoothly as possible, we’ve stipulated a number of rules, tips and tricks.
>FULL=FULL!
If you're very keen on attending a particular concert, make sure to be there early, because full=full!
> NEW! CHANGEOVER RULE AT BUSY VENUES
At busy concerts or small venues you may run into a ‘full=full’. The new changeover rule stipulates that everyone leaves the venue after the first concert. Those waiting in line are allowed to go inside for the second set first.
> TIP! OPT FOR THE SECOND SET
You can start at every second set. Second sets often prove to be less crowded.
> CONCERT CODE
Pick a convenient moment to walk in and out, for instance during the applause. And don't forget to turn off your cell phone during concerts!
