Because the Fountain Ballroom is open to all ticket holders, booths (couches) are sold separately from tickets so you can secure your “real estate” and purchase the ticket type that best fits your needs. In addition, this allows the individuals in your group to choose the ticket type they want so some can come early and others can arrive late. Those that party a little less can get the GA ticket with a cash bar feature.
Your booth is basically your “real estate” for the night, so if you are all sitting, you are not at the right party! Depending on your location and space you can invite some of your entourage to stop by and party at “your place”. Keep in mind that VIP tickets are required in the Crystal Ballroom.
