How Much Are Tickets to the Met Gala?

Tickets to attend the Met Gala are incredibly pricey.

The Met Gala, officially known as the Costume Institute Benefit, is an annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The money made from ticket sales goes to the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, which is home to more than 33,000 pieces of clothing, jewelry and accessories that date back all the way to the 1400s.

Do Celebrities Pay to Attend the Met Gala?

Celebrities don't attend the Met Gala for free, but that doesn't mean they always pay for their own tickets to the event.

Famous stars are typically invited to the event by various brands, who in turn pay for the celebrities' tickets, according to NBC New York.

How Do Celebrities Get Invited to the Met Gala?

The guest list for the Met Gala is exclusively invite-only, according to NBC New York, and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour ultimately decides who makes the guest list. Typically the celebrities and people invited are currently relevant in the culture, meaning they are usually promoting new art, content, etc., such as a pop star with a brand new album, or a movie star who has a big new film coming out soon.

The guest list is kept secret before the event, so it is unclear who will be attending this year's event. What is known is that between 600 and 700 people will be there, according to Business Insider.
