In a statement issued Feb. 21, the Black Tie board explained that individual ticket prices are going up this year to $500, with full tables available for $5,000, while individual Sapphire-level sponsorships are increasing to $6,000, and corporate sponsorships are starting at the Ruby level at $10,000.

The board, noting that this is the first time since 2014 ticket and sponsorship prices have gone up, explained that the increases were necessary to offset food and beverage costs, which have risen 35 percent in the last nine years.
