Kennedy Center Rolling Out $25,000 VIP Rooftop Tickets for July 4th Celebrations
The package includes reserved roof tables, an indoor lounge and parking, with $18,912 of the $25,000 price tax deductible.
- On Thursday, the Kennedy Center announced $25,000 "Presidential" VIP rooftop packages for Saturday's July 4 fireworks, offering 36 seats and "unparalleled views" of the National Mall.
- President Donald Trump's name was court-ordered removed from the building in May, yet the center claims this could thwart "hundreds of millions" in pledged charitable contributions tied to his name.
- Offering multiple tiers, the venue sells a $15,000 "Vice Presidential" package seating 24 guests and general admission tickets starting at $425, all including "prominent on-site signage recognition" on the event map.
- Despite a federal judge blocking the center's planned two-year renovation, the institution faces "no meaningful operations" after July 5, with many staff dismissed and no programming scheduled.
- Tarps remain over the building facade, obstructing the name of former President John F. Kennedy, while the Trump-backed "Salute to America 250" fireworks show is scheduled for Saturday.
