Golden Globes: A Pricey Night Out With Stars

USA, Beverly HillsTue Nov 25 2025
The Golden Globes, a big deal in the movie world, is stirring up trouble again. This time, it's about the price tag for a night with the stars. A fancy magazine, The Robb Report, is selling a package for $70, 000. It includes tickets to the Golden Globes, a pre-party, an after-party, a walk on the red carpet, and even a free tuxedo. But not everyone is happy about this. The package also comes with a hotel stay in Beverly Hills and a gift bag like the ones celebrities receive. There are only three pairs of tickets available, and they're not sold online. You have to fill out a form to show interest. As of now, none of the packages have been sold. The Golden Globes' official website still says tickets can't be bought for the event. This has rubbed some people the wrong way. An unnamed industry insider even called it "shameless. " This isn't the first time the Golden Globes have faced controversy. In recent years, they've added new categories that have raised eyebrows. Last year, they introduced an award for box office success, which many found unclear. Next year, they'll be giving an award for podcasting for the first time. The Golden Globes are a big deal, but they're not without their issues. This latest controversy is just another example. It's not just about the money, but also about the changes they've made to the awards. It's a reminder that even the biggest events can be controversial.
