The festival is scheduled to take place on nine stages around Linn Park and 5th Avenue North on June 15-17, 2007. Ticket prices are expected to be $28 for a one-day ticket (the same as 2006), but perhaps as much as $50 for a three-day pass (compared to $35 in 2006)

Finances
A campaign launched in September 2006 involved City Stages organizers partnering with Catalyst 4 Birmingham to raise $1 million to retire its debts and create a cushion for ongoing operations. Six major donors have pledged $600,000 so far, while about $150,000 has been raised in smaller increments by Catalyst. Another $300,000 for the next three years is sought from public sources.
