With the price of admission, Guests will be treated to music, dancing, live entertainment, refreshments including a Ketel One Vodka bar, hors d’oeuvres and dessert. Patron tickets are $250 per person and include all of the benefits of the Guest level as well as an invitation to the Patron Party from 7 – 8 pm, access to the exclusive VIP and Patron Lounge and a keepsake photograph.
