Penske Media's Desperate Gambit to Sell Golden Globes Tickets for $70,000: A "Shameless" Move in Hollywood
In a shocking move, luxury magazine Robb Report is offering three pairs of Golden Globes tickets for sale at an eye-watering price tag of $70,000 per couple through its concierge service, The Vault. This brazen attempt to cash in on the prestige of the awards show has left many in the industry fuming, with one insider calling it a "shameless" move.
The luxury magazine's gift guide promises buyers an unforgettable experience, complete with primo seating near celebrities, a private gathering at the Golden Eve Party, and a stay at the Peninsula Beverly Hills. The package also includes bespoke styling from Thom Sweeney for the red carpet, as well as access to the exclusive after-party and the coveted swag bag. To top it all off, buyers will receive an expertly curated Ultimate Gift Bag filled with ultra-luxury experiences.
Despite the Golden Globes' official website stating that tickets are not available to the general public, The Vault's site appears to be selling the tickets through its concierge service, touting them as "VIP Golden Globes access." When contacted for comment, a spokesperson for the Golden Globes confirmed that no tickets have been sold, but The Vault's site promises buyers will receive an invitation to the intimate Golden Eve Party and premier table seating at the ceremony.
The Golden Globes' recent shift towards becoming a for-profit entity under Penske Media has left many questioning the ethics of this latest move. Last year's official gift bag was valued at a staggering $1 million, and it appears that The Vault is trying to cash in on the prestige of the awards show by selling exclusive experiences.
As one industry insider aptly put it, "This is shameless... $70,000 for a pair of tickets, and the tix come with a tux!" The fact that Penske Media owns several major entertainment sites and publications has raised eyebrows, with rumors of the company attempting to sell studios on a "Golden Globes salon dinner series" for $70,000 per event.
Despite the controversy surrounding this latest move, it remains to be seen whether anyone will take the bait and shell out the staggering sum of $70,000 for a pair of Golden Globes tickets. As one thing is certain, however, The Vault's brazen attempt to capitalize on the prestige of the awards show has left the industry reeling.

like who needs that kinda cash? and whats wrong with the golden globes just giving it away or makin a small donation to charity 2 promote diversity 4 all 
this feels like they're sellin out the whole point of the awards
I gotta say, 70k bucks for a couple of Golden Globes tix? That's just outrageous! 
. And let's be real, who needs to pay that much for a night out in LA when you can have a similar vibe at a fraction of the cost? 
It's like they're trying to nickel and dime the industry dry. 
I'm not surprised the insiders are calling it out as "shameless" - it just smells like a money grab to me 
I think this is SO shady 
! Like, who comes up with these prices?! $70k for a couple's tickets?! That's like, a down payment on a house 
It just feels like a way for Penske Media to make more dough 
. I'd be all over that swag bag tho 
, but $70k?! No thanks! 
I don't get why they gotta make it so expensive lol! $70k for a pair of tix? That's just crazy talk 
Is it even worth it for the exclusive experiences and stuff? Idk, but it sounds like a total rip-off to me
