**Please note that we try to keep tickets as reasonably priced as possible so as many people as possible can attend and enjoy the event. We have no control over the added fees/taxes added to the ticket price - that all comes from the venue/ticketing service. We feel that in other cities, tickets for an event of this caliber often go for triple what we list ours as. Do not assume a lower ticket price equates to an event of lesser quality - visit our FB page to look at photo albums from our past 8 years of hosting a January Ball event. We pour everything we have into it.**
