So you held out last week and didn’t purchase the $25 tickets to BestFest. Maybe you didn’t think $25 was a fair price to see Cake, the Toadies, and a million other great bands at our two-day block party. (I can’t really help you there…) But maybe you were waiting for a better deal to come along. Your wait has paid off today, in that case.
Today only, VIP tickets to BestFest are $75 — that’s 50 percent off their face value of $150. And if you’ve ever been a VIP at a Houston Press event, you’ll know that we treat you right. If you haven’t been, here’s what’s in store:
- Access to BestFest for both days
- Access to the Mercedes-Benz VIP lounge with appetizer buffet, free non-alcoholic refreshments and lounge-style seating
- Access to a private viewing area next to the stage
- And much more…
Food and refreshments in the Mercedes-Benz VIP lounge will be provided by some of our past and current Best of Houston® winners. And in case you’ve forgotten which bars and restaurants will be in attendance, here’s a partial list.
- Last Concert Cafe
- El “XX” (a.k.a. Xuco Xicana)
- Beaver’s
- New York Pizzeria
- Rudyard’s British Pub
- Kahn’s Delicatessen
- The Blue Fish
- Don Julio’s
- Sushi King
- Mandola’s Deli
- Freebird’s
Outside, in the non-VIP area, samples will be available from each restaurant for $4, while more substantial plates of food (we’re talking meal-sized) will be available for $8. But in our Mercedes-Benz VIP lounge, you’ll be taken care of all weekend long.
These half-off VIP tickets are only on sale through midnight, so get yours now — or before they sell out, which is known to happen. We’ll see you in the lounge, fancy-pants.
