New Year’s Eve at The J. Parker: Ticket Packages, Prices and Seating
The key distinction between general admission and a table at The J. Parker is space, not guaranteed seating: table buyers get a reserved party area and added service, but the organizer says a chair is not promised for each person. The New Year’s Eve celebration begins at 9 p.m. on Dec. 31, 2026, and the listed ticket choices range from individual admission to packages for groups of six, eight or 10.
What the individual ticket includes
The general-admission Celebration Package includes admission for one, premium spirits, craft and domestic beer, house wine, champagne, gourmet passed appetizers and party favors. The event listing also promotes dessert, photo opportunities and a countdown as part of the celebration.
The organizer uses “premium” to describe the brand and level of spirits, and explicitly excludes shots. The package is described by drink categories, not as unlimited service. General-admission gratuity is not included.

Group packages add bottles and a server
Every table option includes general-admission tickets and Celebration Package amenities for its stated guest count, plus a dedicated server and party regalia. The package for six adds one bottle of premium vodka and one bottle of Freixenet Diamond prosecco. Packages for eight and 10 include those bottles as well as two combo buckets of beer and hard seltzer.
Listed prices are $1,025 for six admissions, $1,350 for eight and $1,750 for 10; general-admission ticket tiers are listed at $125 and $135. Table-package tax and gratuity are included at checkout, while general-admission gratuity is extra. Check the ticket checkout for the amount charged when you book.

The event window and package cutoffs differ
Doors open at 9 p.m. Do312 lists the event from 9 p.m. to midnight on Dec. 31. The organizer sets a later last call for the general-admission Celebration Package: 12:30 a.m. on Jan. 1, 2027. Table inclusions expire at 1:30 a.m. Neither package cutoff is identified as the event’s closing time.
A countdown and a midnight encounter are promoted, but no performers or detailed running order are named.

Before you book
Reserve online; seating is not guaranteed
Buying online is the only way to reserve a table. The group does not need to arrive together to claim it. If you purchase more than one table package, the organizer will try to place them near one another, but does not guarantee that arrangement. Table space is reserved; seating for every guest is not.
Guests must be 21 or older
A valid ticket and ID are required, and every guest must be at least 21. The organizer asks guests to dress to impress. All sales are final with no refunds; tickets can be transferred or resold. Venue staff may refuse service and will monitor consumption. The event terms also say the venue and organizer are not responsible for lost or stolen items and that attendance is at the guest’s own risk.
Printed tickets are not the only option
The ticketing FAQ says guests who opted in to SMS tickets can use that option instead of a printed ticket. If you have neither a smartphone nor a printer, bring your order confirmation number; the FAQ says ID may also be requested to verify the purchase. This event separately requires a valid ticket and ID for entry.
