Essence Festival 2012, The ESSENCE Music Festival and QuintEvents are elevating the fan experience to a new level in 2012 with special, behind-the-scenes access to America’s largest annual gathering of African-American music and culture.

The New Orleans extravaganza, which drew over 422,000 for its 17th edition last July, is offering a wide variety of travel, ticket and hospitality packages featuring pre-access to events, premier ticket locations in large blocks so groups can sit together, exclusive in-stadium hospitality, hotel accommodations and transportation through QuintEvents, the Exclusive Official Provider of ESSENCE VIP Ticket, Travel and Hospitality Packages for the Festival.

The Official packages are available now at www.QuintEvents.com and will be featured on a separate website, www.ESSENCEVIPEvents.com in early 2012.

“The ESSENCE Music Festival is so much more than a concert; so much more than a cultural happening,” stated Brian Learst, C.E.O. of QuintEvents, which provides similar services to the NFL, NBA and Kentucky Derby. “It is one of the nation’s elite events and there is demand for an ‘insider’ experience that has a once-in-a-lifetime feel.”

“With the size and scope of the Louisiana Superdome and the event infrastructure we have, it’s time to add this dimension for our fans,” offered ESSENCE General Manager Joy Collins.

The program is named ESSENCE VIP Events and all tickets and amenities are available only from ESSENCE, which owns and operates the world-renowned festival. By purchasing direct from the “Official” source, fans have a one-stop shopping experience for their transportation, hotel accommodations, hospitality and ticket needs, eliminating the uncertainties of purchasing on the secondary market.
