Insider Tips for The Ball 2010 in NYC Tonight
We’ve again sold more advance tickets for tonight’s event than for any in our 16 year history! So we are expecting an amazing night. We thank you sincerely and have worked hard (and will work hard tonight) to ensure a great, fun night for you.
- Plenty of tickets will still be available at the door. And we’ve become pretty good over the years at making sure wait times to buy tickets are as short (we know it’s cold outside, although it’s supposed to be a little warmer today).
- This is an 8-hour long party and you will be able to visit as many venues as you’d like. However, some venues will fill up more quickly than others. So if you have a specific venue where you’d r
eally prefer to start the evening, we do recommend arriving at that venue early if you can.
- Important: We want you to enjoy all of the venues tonight or, at least as many as you would like to visit. However, when a particular venue is at capacity, we will direct you to one of our other venues that isn’t yet full. You can stop back at the first venue later in the evening and, as above, you will be able to enter all of the venues during the course of the 8-hour party, if you so choose.
- Super-Duper Important: If you bought a Jewniversal Pass in advance, you must pick it up at the venue you selected during the checkout process. The reason we do this is to make the check-in process run as quickly and smoothly as possible, by having people checking in a different locations. If we used one humongous guest list at all the locations, it would take forever to find your name = some dang cold Jewish peeps. So we separate the advance sale guest list by the venue you chose at checkout and y
ou must pick up your Jewninversal Pass at that venue. We will only have your name on the guest list at the venue you chose. Even though you may have a paper ticket, we still need you to pick you your Jewniversal pass at the venue you selected at checkout. We intend to send another email reminder about this to all advance ticket purchaser shortly.
- The truth about the Jewniversal Pass revealed: The “Jewniversal Pass” sounds like the Golden Ticket from Willy Wonka. The sad truth is, it’s only a wristband. But once you have it, you can enter all of the venues and use the limos, luxury buses (and the Wonkavator).
About our Limousine / Luxury Bus Service: We have reserved a fleet of Hummer and Escalade limousines and huge, 50-person luxury buses. The shuttle service runs from 10 pm to 3 am. Our plan is to run the Hummer and Escalade Limos between the downtown venues - Hiro, The Park and Marquee - constantly. With respect to Lavo (which is in midtown and where the distance to travel is much greater), we plan to use our 50-person buses and to use The Park as as “downtown hub” meaning our Luxury Buses to and from Lavo, will begin and end at The Park. From the Park, you can catch a limo to Marquee or Hiro. We may alter this slightly during the course of the night as conditions warrant and to better serve you. Our “
limousine dispatchers” at each venue, will keep you informed. (Here’s a story called “Jeeves for Jewsus” about the humble beginnings of our limo service idea).
- Coat Check: We have worked with each of the venues to make sure that their coat checks are fully-staffed. In some cases, auxiliary coat check stations have been added. However, you are not obligated to check your coat and if you are planning on doing a lot of party-hopping, it may pay to keep your coat with you, if you’d like.
- The party continues tomorrow night at Hudson Terrace: When you enter the venue where you will start your e
vening and obtain your Jewninveral Pass (bracelet), please be sure to obtain your ticket for free admission to Saturday Night’s Ball Part II Party at Hudson Terrace Roofdeck and Lounge. It’s going to be a good time.
Most importantly, drink responsibly, drive safely, and best wishes for a Happy New Year!
The Ball 2010 in LA - In the News
Don't worry; we don't believe our own press.
It’s looking like The Ball 2010 in LA is going to be a blow-out! By the time you read this, unless you are reading this this very second, which, let’s face it, you’re not, our “2 for $40″ tickets will be completely sold out. We are far ahead of last year’s sales, when we sold out Opera and Crimson.
So we’re looking forward to a huge night at The Colony in Hollywood with The LA Guardians. We do recommend that you purchase advance tickets ($30) before the cut-off on Wednesday at noon.
The Ball in LA has been getting some nice (and appreciated) attention from the press. LA Weekly picked the The Ball as one of its recommended holiday events and wrote:
“JDate? Feh … if you are determined to hook up with someone of the Hebraic persuasion, there’s one event that promises to be a bigger deal than the parting of the Red Sea: Let My People Go.”
And NBC LA has written:
“An annual spectacular held every Christmas Eve … The Ball is all about helping Jewish singles meet up, dance, network, share some laughs and maybe make a lasting connection. Thousands of attendees have been recorded at some of The Balls, so this is big, very big.”
"It ain't braggin if you really done it"
We look forward to seeing you Thursday.*
*And on Sunday, after the conclusion of The Ball 2010 in NYC on Dec 24 and The Ball 2010 in NYC for Ages 40+ on Dec 24 and the Double Happiness Ball Part Deux on December 25, we’re looking forward to officially banishing braggadocio from this blog, at least for another year, and leaving the Dizzy Deaning to Dizzy Dean.
Jewish Singles TV. Turn in. Turn On.
Twas the night before Christmas and there was something in the air:
- People making out with reckless abandon.
- A Ball engagement announcement - ‘true love’ found at The Ball..
Can love (Ian) Bloom among 4,000 Jewish Singles? Did Ally find a husband? Press play for the next exciting chapter and then join us for The Ball 2010 in NYC or The Ball 2010 in Hollywood where the answers to all your burning questions shall be revealed.
Or you'll just dance, no matter what the Bible-thumping local preacher says, meet new people, and have loads o' fun.

The Ball 2009 at Hiro - Just One of the Five Venues for The Ball 2010

People come from far and wide for this event. As the Village Voice reported “Matzo ball parties are Jewish camps all grown up… LetMyPeopleGo.com has been the grandest one of all, packing ‘em in … including Jewish jet-setters from London, Toronto, and Sydney.”

This year, we’ve reserved five amazing NYC venues - including Lavo, the Las Vegas import that is currently the hottest new New York City nightclub. And, of course, we’re providing complimentary Hummer limousine and Luxury Party Bus service for party-hopping.
It looks like this except it's not gold and it fits around your wrist

- “The mother of all Jewish Singles parties and the largest Jewish Singles event in the nation.”— TimeOut New York
- Contrary to what JDate woud have you believe, the hottest event in town isn’t the Matzo Ball.” - Jewcy.com
- “A high end event” awash in cocktail dresses,” “attended by
Cosmopolitan’s Bachelor of the Month” and “3,000 singles who mingled
their way over three vast floors.”— New York Magazine
- Matzo ball parties are Jewish camps all grown up… Letmypeoplego.com has been the grandest of all, 3,000 strong, including Jewish jet-setters from London, Toronto, and Sydney— Village Voice
- “With an estimated 3,000 guests and music calculated to permit conversation,
both the dancing and the flirting were said to have been great.”— New York Times
- “The gold standard” - The New York Post
- “More than 3,500 dressed-to-impress” attendees expected to “venue-hop in style” at “the country’s largest Jewish Singles event.“— The Washington Post
In fact, The Ball in NYC has been the Nation’s Biggest Jewish Singles Event 15 years in a row! More than 4,000 people now attend in NYC annually (see videos). That’s more than attend any Matzo Ball party or JDate event in the country.
In Los Angeles, this is the third year in a row that we are partnering with The Guardians of the Los Angeles Jewish Home for the Aging. Our events the previous two years have been amazing. Last year’s event at Opera and Crimson was totally sold out, covered by The Huffington Post, and, we believe, the biggest Jewish Singles event of the year in LA! (Check out some of our LA photos!)
For The Ball 2010 in LA, we’ve reserved our biggest LA venue yet and one of the newest and hottest in Hollywood: The Colony where “The Hamptons Meets Hollywood.”
Please join us on Thursday, December 23, the night before Christmas Eve:
- We again expect the biggest and coolest Jewish holiday event in the city! We expect 1,200+ Jewish professionals to attend this event!
- We’re taking over all 13,000 square-feet indoors of The Colony’s indoor-outdoor space, from the “full beach right outside the club” (EaterLA.com)
to the lifeguard stand that serves as its entrance to the hammock-covered pool to the boardwalk-like flooring to the meticulously landscaped outdoor garden to indoor boat in which to lounge to the open-air dance floor.
- Can’t wait? Check out this video of The Colony from the guys at Thrillist.com.
Come out and have some fun and help us raise some money for The Guardians and the Los Angles elderly community! Over 600,000 Jews live in Los Angeles. But there is only one Home that offers kosher food, a warm Jewish environment and Jewish holiday celebrations for our elderly, no matter what their financial situation.
Each year, nearly 1,000 frail seniors are fortunate enough to have a wonderful place to call “Home”. Help us add years to their lives and LIFE to their years!
We look forward to seeing you at The Ball 2010 on Thursday, December 23.

The Ball 2008 - The Nation’s Biggest 14 Years in a Row
Just a belated post with a belated thank you to everyone who came out to The Ball 2008 on December 24. Over 4,200 people attended our event in NYC making it the biggest Jewish Singles event in the country 14 years in a row (thanks again!). From what we understand, our event at the Highlands in Hollywood with The Guardians of the Los Angeles Jewish Home for the Aging was the biggest in LA, too! We’ve posted hundreds of photos.
Behind the scenes, we had a number of discussions with The Travel Channel who were kind enough to offer to feature The Ball in NYC on it’s “Most Extreme Party” Series. We ultimately decided that the nature of the filming would make it much harder to operate the event smoothly.
Hope you had a great time at The Ball and stay tuned for details about “Queen Esther’s Ball” - our next big national event coming in March!
