How to get Jazz in the Garden tickets

The catch: Like many other ticketed events this year, you need to enter a lottery to get in.

How it works: The free lottery will open each Monday for the performance of the following week, and will stay open until Fridays at noon.

• That means the lottery for the May 19 performance with Martha Redbone Roots Project is open from today until Friday. Winners will be notified next week on Monday.
