Red Carpet events
Met Gala week in New York — the surrounding events, dinners and after-parties around fashion's biggest night.
Include your dates, party size and an indicative budget with your enquiry — it lets us confirm the right tier of access first time. VIP transport — jets, helicopters, chauffeurs and fast-track arrivals — can be arranged around any event for clients travelling from overseas.
The first Monday in May in New York. The gala itself is strictly invitation-only; what we arrange is the week around it — suites, cars, dinners and the after-parties that follow.
Tell us the event, your dates, party size and an indicative budget. We confirm what is genuinely available for your date — access is sourced through our partner network and never guaranteed — hold it in your name, and arrange the jets, hotels, transfers and tables around it. Nothing is committed until you approve.
The first Monday in May, in New York.
The gala itself is invitation-only and cannot be bought — we are direct about that. What we arrange is the week around it: suites, cars, dinners and the after-party circuit.
Manhattan prices and fills for the week. Secure the suite and the car first; everything else follows.
We tell you quickly what is genuinely obtainable for your date and at what level — before you commit a penny.
Hospitality desks, promoters and rights-holders built over years — not a resale listing.
Jets, helicopters, villas, tables and security around the event, held by the same concierge.
Enquiries are free. Members get first call when scarce allocations open — which for these events is usually how they are won.
OF.luxury is a concierge and sourcing service — not a ticket vendor or box office. Availability, allocation, entry and pricing are never guaranteed and are confirmed case by case before any commitment. All events are subject to change or cancellation by the organiser.
The dates we are asked for most. Exact dates and call times are confirmed in writing before anything is committed.

We work to the confirmed date for your booking, not the provisional one — and we say so plainly if a date is not yet fixed.
The tiers that genuinely exist for Met Gala, and what each one gets you.
Hospitality at this level is not a marketplace. Boxes, suites and premium seats are allocated by the venue, the governing body or an appointed hospitality partner, and most of the good inventory never reaches a public listing at all. What that means in practice is that lead time is the single biggest factor in what you end up with — not budget.
For a marquee Met Gala date, six to twelve weeks is a comfortable window and gives us a genuine choice of positions. Inside three weeks the question changes from which box to whether anything credible exists at all. We would rather tell you a date is gone than put you in a seat that does not match what you asked for.
The date or the fixture, the number of guests, and an indicative budget. That is enough for us to come back with what is genuinely available and what it costs, usually the same day. If you are flexible on the fixture — a different match in the same week, a different session at the same event — say so, because it often doubles the options.
We do not list inventory we have not confirmed, we do not take deposits against availability we are still chasing, and we do not quote a price that moves later. Every booking is confirmed in writing with the terms attached before payment. Where an event is sold through an official hospitality programme, you are booked into that programme and receive its documentation, not a substitute.
Most Met Gala bookings travel. We arrange the private jet or helicopter transfer, the chauffeured cars on both ends and the villa or suite around the fixture, so the event and the trip are handled on one thread rather than three. For anything requiring security or NDA-grade discretion, that is arranged before you arrive rather than on the day.
