Looking to have — and see — the best ball of all in Times Square on New Year’s Eve?
You better have big bucks for it.
The Marriott Marquis is the marquee place to be — but “prime VIP seating” with eighth-floor terrace access, a ball-drop view, buffet, desserts and a five-hour open bar will ring in at a whopping $7,500 per person.
If you’re paired up, though, we have bad news for you: The VIP couple’s package, at $15,000, is already sold out. Last year, it cost $12,500.
“We are seeing higher demand, year over year, of 3% to 5% for premium tickets that include a live view of the ball drop,” Joshua Perla, the founder of NYE events producers Ball Drop and NewYears.com , told The Post of the soaring interest in spectacular “bucket list” experiences in the Big Apple.
“Our goal is to have a live-view event for all price points. This year we were able to range prices from $399 per person up to $7,500 per person at Marriott,” Perla explained. “This is a bucket list item on someone’s wish list, and we want to be the New Year’s concierge for all revelers.”
