Event: The Ice Ball
Established in 2008 and held each December by local tech entrepreneur Steve Poland who had one too many uneventful New Years Eves in previous years and thus took it upon himself to throw a pro-Buffalo event on the biggest night of the year.
The Ice Ball has proved to be a large success in terms of ticket sales, turnout, and general attendee satisfaction. The event has been held at the Delaware Park Casino, which has a maximum capacity of 500 people, and was sold-out three weeks prior to New Years Eve. In fact, the event demand was so high that tickets were re-sold for above face value on Internet sites such as craigslist.org.
The core purpose of the Ice Ball is to offer a one-of-a-kind, classy New Years Eve alternative to the bar scene. Guests will ring in the New Year in style with a variety of live music, exquisite food selection, and unique entertainment in the Queen City. The event is also designed to showcase the city's beautiful, historic architecture (one of the last events to be held at the Statler Towers) and vibrant nightlife.
