Olive Garden in Times Square charging $400 for New Year's Eve tickets
Olive Garden in Times Square may be a deal on a regular weeknight, but on New Years Eve, the chain is putting on the Ritz.
For $400, partygoers can enjoy an Olive Garden buffet, open bars and a DJ, according to the New York Post.
The Italian-themed chain is just one of a handful of restaurants in Times Square charging hundreds of dollars for a chance to dance the night away a few blocks from where the ball drops, according to New York show tickets.
While some may shake their head at the idea of spending $400 to ring in the New Year at Olive Garden; the price tag is worth it, Jessica Parkin told the Huffington Post.
Parkin, who rang in 2014 at the Olive Garden in Times Square, told the Post people were ?desperately trying" to scalp tickets beforehand.
"From the Olive Garden you couldn't see the main stage or the ball drop, but around 11:40 p.m. we were taken through the back door to the Olive Garden and onto the streets in our own gated section where you could see the ball drop and be part of all the action. It was perfect," she told The Huffington Post.
Maybe easy access to a bathroom and an open bar is worth it.
