Met Gala is one of the most anticipated fashion events, where the celebs and fashionistas put their best foot forward with their sartorial picks. Over the years, we have seen many A-listed celebs walking the red carpet while showcasing their stunning looks. However, the event has garnered a lot of limelight recently for the sudden rise in the price of its ticket.
Met Gala ticket price increased from 30,000 USD to 50,000 USD
Yes, you read that right! As per the publication Page Six, the ticket prices of the world’s most famous fashion event have been increased from 30,000 USD to a whopping 50,000 USD per person. The Met Gala is set to take place on May 1, 2023, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The steep increase of 20,000 USD in ticket prices created an outrage among the masses, who feel the increases are unjustified and absurd.
