Unbridled Eve Expands the Experience with New Ticket Tiers

The Unbridled family is excited to announce the launch of a newly enhanced tiered ticket system for the Unbridled Eve Derby Gala. While we’ve long offered our $1,200 standard ticket and $1,600 VIP ticket, we are now introducing two exclusive new tiers designed to elevate the guest experience and reflect the prestige of Derby weekend: 

  • Premiere Experience Tickets – $5,000 
  • Derby Experience VIP Couple Package – Call for information 

A Celebration That Matches the Moment 

The Kentucky Derby is one of the world’s most celebrated and stylish sporting events, drawing international royalty, cultural icons, and celebrities from around the globe. Over the years, the York Sisters have perfected the art of hosting a world-class gala during this iconic weekend—curating a celebration filled with purpose, elegance, and unforgettable experiences. 

While Unbridled has quietly offered premium packages in the past through select partners, we’re excited to officially expand these offerings in 2025 and beyond. 

Elevating the Experience for Our Guests 

These new ticket tiers are about more than price—they’re about deepening our engagement, expanding our services, and honoring the generosity of our guests with a level of hospitality that reflects the values at the heart of Unbridled. 

Premiere Experience Ticket Holders will receive: 

  • A dedicated personal concierge on Derby Eve 
  • Access to the exclusive VIP & Celebrity Reception before the gala 
  • Premier table placement

Derby Experience VIP Couple Package guests will enjoy: 

  • Three nights of luxury lodging at the Galt House 
  • Premium experiences for Oaks Day and the Kentucky Derby 
  • An unforgettable experience hosted personally by the York Sisters, who will welcome guests into a once-in-a-lifetime Derby celebration 

This experience is designed for those who want to immerse themselves in the spirit of Unbridled, during one of the most prestigious weekends in American sport and culture. 

Vision for the Future 

These new offerings are a reflection of the York Sisters’ evolving vision for Unbridled—one that continues to celebrate joy and generosity while reaching new heights. As part of that vision, we are also excited to launch a new event in the coming year- Unbridled Revelry. You can read more about this exciting addition in the feature article later in a future newsletter. 

We are proud to continue building unforgettable moments with our Unbridled family—and we can’t wait to celebrate with you in 2026.
