Treatment Awaits"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">M.G. Orender rattles off a list of the great sporting events he has attended: the Super Bowl, the Olympic Games, the Kentucky Derby, the United States Open (tennis and golf), the Daytona 500 and the Indianapolis 500.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">\u201cI\u2019ve had the chance to see about every major sporting event there is,\u201d said Mr. Orender, a founder of the golf course management company Hampton Golf. And he saw them all in style: \u201cI don\u2019t believe I ever went to an event and sat outside the ropes. I always had a seat in the infield or wherever the premier spot was.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">Sporting events have long drawn companies eager to throw up a tent near the action and host clients with food and drink. But in recent years, a desire for an even better and more exclusive experience \u2014 at events that are already pretty exclusive \u2014 has driven event organizers to create their own private luxury parties and charge handsomely for them. And the red carpet has rolled out to other areas, including concerts, food festivals, art fairs and museum exhibits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">Mr. Orender singled out two of his V.I.P. experiences that did not come cheap: Berckmans Place at the Masters golf tournament at Augusta National, a premium venue within what is already&nbsp;<a class=\"css-1g7m0tk\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2013\/04\/14\/sports\/golf\/at-augusta-national-if-you-have-to-ask-the-answer-is-no.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">one of the most strictly controlled events in sports<\/a>, and the Players Club, a luxury package for the Players Championship, a golf tournament being played this week in Ponte Vedra, Fla.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">Entry to Berckmans, which has replicas of several of the Augusta National greens inside, is rumored to cost $8,000; the Players Club limits the number of $6,000 tickets it sells to 500 people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">Jared Rice, executive director of the Players Championship, compared the Players Club to packages at other sporting events, but also to the Aspen Food &amp; Wine Festival. \u201cWe wanted to have something to match aspirational event seekers,\u201d he said. That includes not only golf fans but those who want to experience any event at its most luxurious.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">Unlike many other golf courses, TPC Sawgrass, the course that hosts the Players Championship, was designed with the fan experience in mind, offering spectators views better than most golf events and something more akin to the way they would watch a baseball or football game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">But the Players Club pass, now in its third year, aims to offer a higher level of luxury. There are many vantage points to watch players try to land shots on the 17th hole\u2019s famous island green, which is surrounded on all sides by water. But the Players Club pass puts holders in a club 30 feet in the air, with a cocktail in their hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYear 1 was golf fans,\u201d Mr. Rice said. \u201cBut it\u2019s grown to a nontraditional set of fans of sporting events and experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">One of the first organizations to come up with this idea on a large scale was the National Football League, with its NFL On Location program at the 2006 Super Bowl in Detroit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">\u201cThe N.F.L. could package its own assets and create a pregame party inside the stadium,\u201d said Frank Supovitz, who created the program.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">He said the N.F.L. realized it had extra tickets for V.I.P.s but it also had hotel rooms that were reserved in bulk years in advance. \u201cWith multiple venues inside the stadium, we could take all of these things and package them together,\u201d he said. \u201cA ticket that is worth $1,000 is now worth $10,000.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">For that experience to be worth the money, though, Mr. Supovitz said it needed three things: high quality, exclusivity and uniqueness. For instance, at the highest price point for the Super Bowl package, fans get to go on the field after the final down is played.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">But this model does not work with all sporting events. The World Series and the Stanley Cup are not as easy for event planners because the location of the games is not known far enough in advance. And with baseball and hockey playing seven-game series for their titles, it\u2019s hard to know when and in which stadium a championship is going to end.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">In contrast, the host cities for the Super Bowl are known several years out, and events like the U.S. Open tennis tournament and the Masters are played at the same place every year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">Concerts would seem like a big draw for private events, but for wealthy people, the enticement of briefly meeting a performer backstage is not always enough. Instead, they opt to arrange a private concert for a small group of peers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">These high-dollar events are not limited to sports and music. Art festivals have gotten in on the game by offering an insider\u2019s edge. Pamela Cohen, head of V.I.P. relations and sponsorships at <em><strong>Art Miami<\/strong><\/em>, which runs seven fairs in Miami and New York, said her group\u2019s platinum packages cost $5,000 a ticket and give buyers access to private receptions and conversations with well-known artists.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">But the real value to serious collectors is the preparation her team does to accommodate connoisseurs before they arrive \u2014 knowing which works or artist they would be most interested in seeing, and making it happen. \u201cWe do almost all of the work for them and give them an easy, short time to see everything they want,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019re really providing that curated experience for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">Some exclusive art events work differently. The Brooklyn Museum, for instance, is selling a premium $2,500 ticket to its David Bowie exhibit that gives two patrons access to the show when the museum is closed to regular visitors. It also includes Bowie merchandise and a private guide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">Masha Rubtsova, the general manager of Indochine restaurant in Manhattan, which Mr. Bowie frequented, said she recently went to the exhibit with a friend. On a tour with the museum\u2019s \u201cAladdin Sane\u201d ticket, she ran into people from the restaurant world and was able to network.<\/p>\n<p>The show itself felt more like a nightclub than an art gallery. \u201cIt was crowded but in a good way,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">Super fans are certainly willing to pay more for an elite event, but people who go just for the experience can become jaded and more demanding. Some companies that use high-priced events as a marketing tool have had to add even more exclusive events to their roster to compete.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">Consider private jet companies like NetJets and Wheels Up. Both had big V.I.P. facilities at the Masters and big parties featuring professional golfers and television commentators. NetJets hosted the Zac Brown Band one night, while Wheels Up recreated Rao\u2019s, the exclusive East Harlem restaurant, by flying the chef and staff down to Augusta, Ga.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">Both companies also have parties at the Super Bowl and the Art Basel art fair in Miami Beach, Fla.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">\u201cThe No. 1, 2 and 3 reasons for these events are retention, retention, retention,\u201d said Kenny Dichter, chief executive of Wheels Up. \u201cIf people show up, they\u2019ll always renew.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">But if other jet companies \u2014 and luxury purveyors in general \u2014 are throwing the same great parties at the same exclusive venues, the events lose their unique appeal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">After a five-figure initiation fee, Wheels Up charges $4,500 to $7,500 an hour. Another industry rival, VistaJet, which aims for a more global client and so has bigger jets, charges $12,000 to $19,000 an hour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">To woo their well-heeled clients, such companies create events so intimate that they beggar belief. Want to play tennis with Roger Federer? NetJets has organized that. If you\u2019d prefer Serena Williams, Wheels Up has set up private events with her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">Then there were private viewings of the David Rockefeller collection before it went to auction this week at Christie\u2019s. To see it all meant hopping among international destinations, and VistaJet took care of it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">\u201cIn London, 20,000 people saw it, but I arranged a dinner for 12 people in Christie\u2019s ballroom with the head of Christie\u2019s London and the head curator of the Rockefeller auction,\u201d said Matteo Atti, executive vice president for marketing and innovation at VistaJet. \u201cI put people in the room who might like each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">And for many, that\u2019s the cachet: rubbing elbows with other equally wealthy people who may have shared interests or present a business opportunity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">Of course, sometimes the bar is not that high. Mr. Orender recalled a simple perk of having exclusive access to the Olympic Games: \u201cThere was a special line so no one was hassling you and you didn\u2019t have to wait to go in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read Full Article in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/05\/11\/your-money\/vip-event-packages-wealth.html\">The New York Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>M.G.
