Customers looking for tables at Applebee’s restaurants on 42nd and 50th Streets must pay at least $799 per person on New Year’s Eve if they want to watch the ball drop.
The Times Square Applebee’s New Year’s Eve celebration will offer a five-hour premium open bar with an all-you-can-eat buffet with passed deserts from 7:00 pm-11:30 pm.

The Scottish Sisters answered questions from other YouTubers who commented on their Applebee’s New Years Eve Party vlog.
However, the girls’ ticket prices from last year’s Applebee’s party were apparently much different than this year’s.
‘I think we paid about $300 a ticket,’ they said in a comment last April.
Another YouTuber who brought up a starting ticket price of $650 in the comment section last September asked if it was worth spending that much to go to one of the Applebee’s Times Square New Year’s Eve parties.
‘We definitely didn’t pay $650 per ticket, it’s worth $100 a ticket definitely,’ the girls responded.
The girls also wrote that there was ‘a police presence everywhere’ near 42nd Street and once they bought their tickets from BallDrop.com, it was ‘effortless.’
