Ticketed Experiences
Iconic New York Experiences Worth Planning Your Trip Around
From Thanksgiving morning to the YVP Tree Lighting Gala and the YVP Met Gala Viewing Party, discover ticketed experiences created around some of New York’s most anticipated moments of the year.
Where to Begin
Two Ways to Experience New York
Whether you are booking a seat at New York’s most iconic events or planning a private evening for family, guests, or clients, YVP arranges both the moments the whole city talks about and the ones only a few will ever know.
Insider Access
Be First on the List
Some of the best YVP experiences are limited long before the date arrives.
Get early announcements, first access to select ticketed experiences, private opportunities, and occasional updates from Your VIP Pass.
Private & Exclusive
There is another door,
and it opens for you.
YVP plans private and corporate events across New York City, from intimate dinners with a private chef to evenings at venues the public cannot book. Beyond the calendar and the public list, this is the work we do quietly, for the clients who ask for it. If you can picture it, we can arrange it.
The Chef Comes to You
A Michelin-trained chef and sommelier at your own table, in your home, on your terrace, or in a room only your guests will see. Private dinners in New York, cooked for the evening and no one else.
Sourced, Not Ordered
Beluga and Oscietra. White truffle from Alba. Allocation champagne from cellars that rarely answer the phone. We find what is not on any list, for the table that expects it.
Exclusive New York Venues
Rooftops with a skyline view, galleries between exhibitions, townhouses that never advertise. Access to New York venues that take a phone call, not a booking form, to open.
