A Statesman's Concierge Pass Benefit
Attend together. Sit together. Be recognized together.
Hosted Group Tables is a new benefit exclusive to the Statesman's Concierge Pass. It lets you attend the Countdown 250 Ball as part of a named group — and be seated with your people in the Statesman's Concierge Area, the event's premium section.
Whether you're an alumni crew, a neighborhood circle, an industry network, or a group of friends who want to experience Independence Eve together, Hosted Group Tables makes it official.
1. Purchase your Statesman's Concierge Pass on Eventbrite.
Group membership is a benefit of the Statesman's Concierge Pass, not a separate ticket. No group discounts or held pricing — your Statesman's Concierge Pass is the entry.
2. Choose your group at checkout.
A short question in the Eventbrite checkout asks whether you're joining an existing Hosted Group, proposing a new one, or attending solo.
3. Be seated together in the Statesman's Concierge Area.
Guests in the same Hosted Group are placed at the same table, or adjacent tables for larger groups, all within the premium Statesman's Concierge Area.
4. Mix, mingle, and be recognized.
Your group shares the Statesman's Concierge Area with special guests and All-American Hero Awardees throughout the evening.
Any Size Welcome
Groups under 10
Smaller groups are still part of the program and will be seated together. Depending on total group size, they may share a table with another compatible group.
Host Recognition
Groups of 10 or more
The organizer becomes a Host — with custom table signage, program recognition, and a public toast during the evening (see below).
Recognition at 10 or More Paid Members
Organizers whose Hosted Groups reach 10 or more paid Statesman's guests become Hosts — with distinct recognition at the event, in print, and on the record.
A Signature Moment
Toast to the Hosts
During the evening, all Hosts are called to stand — or invited onstage — for a public Toast to the Hosts in front of the full ballroom. A signature moment that honors the organizers who made their groups happen.
The Statesman's Concierge Area is where the evening's most distinguished guests gather — including recipients of the All-American Hero Lifetime Achievement Awards, dignitaries, senior government officials, military leaders, and civic figures.
Hosted Groups are seated in the same premium section, with organic opportunities to mix and mingle throughout the night. Hosted Group Tables does not guarantee seating at the same table as any specific special guest or awardee — proximity, not placement, is the benefit.
