We just spotted Brit, her brother Bryan, his new wife Graciela (yup, Jamie Lynn's manager) and Brit's agent Jason Trawick boarding a private jet and heading to New Orleans!

Sources reveal exclusively to X17online that Britney will put on a full costume performance for her family on Saturday before she kicks off her tour on Tuesday March 3 at the New Orleans Arena.

Lucky them - we'd love to see a sneak preview of her Circus tour!!!

P.S. Brit's single "Circus" has hit the No. 1 spot on the Top 40 radio charts, and "Womanizer" and "If U Seek Amy" are also holding their positions in the Top 40 - way to go Brit!
