Important Schedule Discrepancies
The official festival-pass descriptions state that the passes cover 22 performances: 11 nights at the South Theatre and 11 nights at the North Theatre.
However, the public event calendar contained only 20 individually named performances when this guide was checked. Two additional performances could not be identified from the published listings.
WowJordan has not invented or inferred their names. Visitors should recheck Jordan’s official events calendar for newly added or updated performances.
There is also a naming inconsistency in the official 24 July listing. Its title displays “7SOUL,” while the event description identifies the group as 47SOUL. This page uses 47SOUL based on the official description, but visitors should check the final ticket information.

How to Buy Official Jerash Festival Tickets
Follow these steps before paying:
- Select the performance from the verified schedule.
- Open the linked official eTathkara booking page.
- Confirm the performer, date and starting time.
- Check whether the event is in the North or South Theatre.
- Review the available seating categories.
- Confirm the final price before payment.
- Read the cancellation and refund terms.
- Save the ticket confirmation and QR code offline.
- Recheck the event status on the day of travel.
WowJordan does not recommend buying tickets from unverified social-media accounts, informal resellers or forwarded payment links that cannot be traced to an official source.
North Theatre or South Theatre?
The 2026 program uses both the North Theatre and South Theatre.
Your ticket should identify the correct theatre. Do not assume that two performances on the same evening use the same venue or entrance.
Allow additional time for:
- Festival traffic
- Parking
- Walking to the venue
- Security checks
- Ticket verification
- Finding the correct seating area
Read how to visit Jerash Festival from Amman before arranging your transport.
Can You Attend Two Performances on the Same Evening?
The schedule includes several evenings with a 6:30 PM North Theatre performance and an 8:30 PM South Theatre performance.
However, the published times overlap. The earlier performances are listed as ending at 9:00 PM, while the South Theatre performances begin at 8:30 PM.
Visitors should therefore not buy two individual tickets for the same evening unless the organiser confirms how access between the performances works.
Festival-pass holders should also ask how overlapping performance times are handled.
Before Travelling to Jerash Festival
Before leaving your hotel or home:
- Verify that the event has not changed or been cancelled.
- Confirm the theatre and entrance shown on your ticket.
- Arrange return transport, particularly after an 11:00 PM finish.
- Wear comfortable shoes suitable for stone paths.
- Check current rules for bags, cameras, food and water.
- Carry an offline copy of your ticket.
- Do not assume that archaeological-site admission is included.
- Allow extra time for festival traffic and entry checks.
