The midnight countdown is the program’s anchor, but the included Celebration Package runs later. General admission covers appetizers and drinks; optional table packages cost extra and do not guarantee a seat for every guest.

At Hopsmith Tavern, a table purchase changes the group setup, not the basic terms of entry: everyone still needs a general-admission ticket. That distinction matters when comparing a single ticket with a package that adds bottles, food trays and a dedicated server.
The published schedule names a midnight New Year’s countdown and no performer or DJ lineup. Do312 displays the event from 9 p.m. to midnight, while the organizer says the Celebration Package—including its food and drink inclusions—ends at 1:30 a.m. on Jan. 1.
Hopsmith may remain open later, potentially until 4 a.m., but the organizer does not guarantee that closing time. Treat the package’s 1:30 a.m. cutoff separately from any later venue hours.

A general-admission ticket includes entry for one, passed appetizers, party favors and the midnight countdown, plus a premium drink package. The organizer specifies premium spirits, craft and domestic beers, house wines and champagne; shots are excluded.
Drink quantities are not stated, so the package description does not promise unlimited service. General-admission gratuity is not included. The organizer’s ticket listing shows $75 and $85 general-admission tiers and says tiers differ by price, not by package inclusions; check the ticket page for the amount in effect when you buy.

The organizer suggests table arrangements for six, eight or 12 guests, plus a private Skybox suggested for 20. Listed prices are $250, $350, $450 and $900, respectively. These are separate purchases from admission, and a package’s suggested group size does not mean every member of the party is guaranteed a seat.
The six-person arrangement includes one bottle of premium vodka, one bucket of White Claw hard seltzer, an assorted food tray, party favors and a dedicated server. For eight, the package lists one vodka bottle, two White Claw buckets, one assorted food tray, favors and a server.
The 12-person arrangement includes three vodka bottles, two bottles of Freixenet Diamond prosecco, two assorted food trays, favors and a dedicated server. The Skybox package lists two vodka bottles, two bottles of Freixenet Diamond prosecco, three White Claw buckets, three assorted food trays, favors and a dedicated server.

Online purchase is the only way to reserve a table. The purchaser must be present to receive its inclusions and should claim the reservation within 60 minutes of the 9 p.m. start; the rest of the group does not need to arrive together.
Table placement follows purchase priority. If one party buys multiple packages, the organizer will try to place them near one another but does not guarantee that. Table inclusions expire with the Celebration Package at 1:30 a.m., and the server adds gratuity for table service on the night.
