How much does a Met Gala ticket cost? A look at the price of entry for fashion's biggest night
CBSN
Even the 2024 Met Gala isn't immune from inflation, it seems. The cost of attending the annual black-tie event, dubbed "fashion's biggest night," is up sharply this year, with the price of an individual ticket soaring above the average down payment on a house.
Officially called The Costume Institute Benefit, the gathering of celebrities from the worlds of entertainment, design, sports and other industries supports the Metropolitan Museum of Art's acquisitions and exhibitions related to fashion. Attendees often wear outlandish attire in keeping with the event's theme.
The co-chairs of this year's benefit, held on May 6, are Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lopez, Anna Wintour and Zendaya. It celebrates the opening of the Costume Institute's spring exhibition, "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion." The dress code? "The Garden of Time," according to The Met.
