Found Jazz Fest tickets and passes near French Market
Description
I found Jazz Fest tickets and a VIP pass this afternoon around 3:15pm near the French Market on Decatur Street in New Orleans. There are two paper general admission tickets with a green gradient and a pink stripe along the edge, plus a black lanyard VIP pass with a white badge that says 'Guest' and a small holographic seal. One ticket has a coffee stain on the corner and a tiny handwritten note in pencil: 'D. Rivera' on the back. I wanted to do the right thing because these look important and part of a special night. If you recognize them, reach out and we can meet near Jackson Square to get them 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.
