Ring in 2012 with Chicago Scene at the Hottest New Year's Eve Party in Chicago!

Chicago-Scene 11th Annual New Year’s Eve Party at The Drake Hotel.

Join over 2000 people as they bring in the New Year in style at the historic Drake Hotel, one of the finest hotels in Chicago on the Mag Mile at Michigan Ave. & Oak Street in the heart of the Gold Coast.

Purchase your tickets early, the price goes up as we sell more tickets; this party sells out in advance every year!

New Year's Eve ticket prices often go up significantly (100% +) the closer you get to New Years Eve. Also note that many NYE Events will sell out well in advance of New Years Eve.

Tickets are sold out!!



A few VIP Tickets will be available at the door for $200.
