What is the layout of the event and seating arrangements?

The Main Event areas are more of a reception-style setup at the event - encompassing the Gaylord's vast Ballroom Complex w/ very limited seating for the Main Event tickets to maximize event space and comfortable crowd flow. However, there are more open seating areas available in the VIP sections for the vast majority of the VIPs. If seating is of concern, VIP is the way to go.  There is also open-seating for POSE ticket holders in POSE Club, and designated tables for the Cherry Blossom - Velvet Rope ticket type in the Cherry Blossom Ballroom.

 

What is the dress code?

There is no formal dress code enforced, however, we want people looking their best. Creative, upscale attire is definitely encouraged! Gentlemen: range from club attire to black tie. Ladies: range from stylish cocktail attire to formal gowns.

​

 

Do you offer a designated driver/non-drinker discount?

Unfortunately we cannot offer a designated driver ticket option or a discounted ticket option for non-drinkers due to the layout of the event.  All event areas offer open bars, and there is no way to monitor a drinker vs. a non-drinker.

​

 

What is the typical makeup of attendees?

The event typically attracts a 21 to early-40's crowd, but anyone over 21 years old is of course welcome. People travel in from around the country for the event, so the event has a nice diversity to it. There is typically a 50/50 split of singles and couples, as well as a pretty even split of women and men. There are  many different party areas and a variety of entertainment, so there is always something for everyone.

 

What is the difference between the POSE Club Ticket and the Velvet Rope-Cherry Blossom Ticket?

• The Cherry Blossom Ticket has reserved tables. The POSE Ticket has limited, open seating

• The Cherry Blossom Ticket has access to POSE Club, but the POSE ticket does not have access to the Cherry Blossom Ballroom

• POSE is more of a club atmosphere while the Cherry Blossom is more of a reserved-seating, dining environment.
