Found Monterey Bay Jazz Festival ticket near Cannery Row
Description
I found a glossy ticket for the Monterey Bay Jazz Festival this afternoon around 2:15pm, sitting on a bench outside the Cannery Row entrance near the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It’s a standard rectangular ticket with a bright blue header, and the barcode reads 0469-MJF-23. The seating info shows Section 2, Row E, Seat 7, and there’s a tiny coffee stain on the bottom edge with a light crease along the left corner from being folded in a pocket. This ticket could mean a lot to the owner — it was likely a planned night out and I’d hate for it to go unused. If this belongs to you, I’d love to help get it back.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
