VIP passes to Skrillex and Justin Bieber's New Year's party cost $500,000

by Jeremy Mersereau

Ever wanted to spend New Year’s eve with EDM royalty, a pool cabana, $6500 worth of champagne, and the nagging sense your wealthy life is spiritually empty and ultimately signifies nothing? Well, Justin Bieber and Skrillex have got the package for you.

Any ultra-rich Rich Kid of Instagram worth their 100$ bill Halloween dress would be remiss if they didn’t drop 500k on the VIP party package, which includes a five-night stay at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel, access to luxury vehicles, and a table beside the stage for a Justin Bieber concert. But wait, that’s not all: fropping that kind of coin will also get you access to a late-night Skrillex gig and a yacht trip to another nightclub where you’ll take in a set from another EDM DJ, Marshmello. Well, this all definitely sounds worth it, but for some reason I’m having a hard time correlating seeing three DJ sets with 500 G’s. Oh, wait: New Year’s Day you get a spa treatment and free Bloody Marys. OK, it all makes sense now.

The production values for the Bieber show will probably be a bit higher than his seven-minute impromptu set from last Friday night, when he sat down at a local Toronto bar the Fifth Pubhouse’s piano for some quick jams:

That was… surprisingly cool to see, and to be reminded that there’s a reason Biebs is famous. Best of all, though, bar patrons didn’t have to drop a small nation’s GDP to see it.
