Open Bar New Year's Eve Celebration!!

*** Great night to ring in the new year, see you tonight! ***

UPDATE #9: Online ticket sales have closed. Since we did not sell out, tickets may be purchased at the door for $120. Please bring exact cash only. Any ticket resell transfers after 5pm will not be permitted.

UPDATE #8:

• Just a reminder, we will have a master list of all those that have paid. It’s not required, but I recommend printing out your payment confirmation email as a backup (if you are not on the list, you will be required to show it). When you check-in, your RSVP will be listed under the name of the PayPal or credit card account used to make payment. Typically, this is your LEGAL name as shown on your driver's license. Sometimes, it may be under a company name if you set up your PayPal or credit card account that way. If you are not sure what it is, please log into your PayPal account (it will say "Welcome, [your account name]" at the top) or your credit card account to find out. If you are RSVP'd under someone else's payment, you must arrive and check-in together.

• Everyone needs to present a valid photo ID at check-in and to verify you are of drinking age. (21+)

• Coat check service will be available gratis.

• Metrorail will be closing at 3am. SoberRide, 800.200.8294 (TAXI), is offering free taxi rides (up to $30). Street parking is limited. Garages may be open (see Metro and Parking section of the event posting for full details), please call them to verify their NYE hours.

• Just a reminder, the food being passed around will be light hors d'oeuvres. Please make sure to have a complete dinner beforehand.

• Lastly, and most importantly, for your own safety and others, please know your limits! We are committed to responsible drinking, so don’t drink and drive, and please be courteous towards others. We want everyone to have a good time, but in compliance with state liquor law, those over intoxicated, belligerent, or unruly will be removed immediately from the event and our group. Please don't be that person that ruins the night for everyone else. As a last resort, either we or the venue will have to terminate the event should public safety be threatened.

UPDATE #7: The early-bird price has ended and the ticket price is now $119. Looking forward to seeing you there!

UPDATE #6: We've been able to extend the early bird price! The first 225 paid sign-ups, or those who pay by Sun. Dec. 25th (whichever comes first) get the early bird price! After that, the ticket price will go to $119.

UPDATE #5: We've been featured in the #3 spot in the December issue of On Tap magazine's New Year's Eve Party Guide!... http://files.meetup.com/214400/ontapnye123116.png. I look forward to seeing you there!

UPDATE #4.5: The date for the guaranteed $159 discounted room hotel option has passed. However, since the Grand Hyatt still has some availability left, they are extending the price for our group until availability is gone. So get your room sooner rather than later (see Hotel Option section of the event posting for full details)!

UPDATE #4: There are fewer than 35 $109 ticket spots left and the price will increase from $109 to $119 when the $109 ticket spots are gone or by Sun. Dec. 18th (whichever comes first). I hope to see you there!

UPDATE #3.6: Based on a tremendous amount of feedback from members of our group, we've been able to get the venue to move the end time of our event to 2am (from 1am). This means our event will also start an hour later at 9:30pm (and as we've always done in previous years). I look forward to seeing you there!

UPDATE #3.5: Just a friendly reminder that if you wish to book a discounted hotel room (see Hotel Option section of the event posting), you will need to do so by Fri. Dec. 16th).

UPDATE #3: The early-bird price has ended and the ticket price is now $109. Looking forward to seeing you there!

UPDATE #2: There are fewer than 35 early bird spots left and the price will increase from $99 to $109 when the early bird spots are gone or by Sun. Dec. 4th (whichever comes first). To be fair to those who want to join in and are ready to make payment, I'll be removing those that haven't paid by Sun. Nov. 27th. So make payment to truly lock in your spot (see the Payment section of the event posting). If you've already made payment, the PayPal email you received is confirmation that we've received your payment (no need to email me asking for ticket confirmation). This UPDATE has been emailed to the yes RSVPs. I hope to see you there!

UPDATE #1: I've updated the Hotel Option section and added an FAQ section for information not found elsewhere in the event posting. I hope you can join us!
