    Universal Orlando continues to make adjustments in 2020, altering their traditional events and offering new, unique experiences.

    Since EVE will not be held this year, Universal is allowing guests to celebrate the New Year with all-new, exclusive menus across select Universal CityWalk restaurants and at Universal Orlando hotels only available on December 31, 2020.

    The VIP Ticket ticket ($75) includes access to the John Lennon Room & Terrace, 2 alcoholic beverages for guests 21+, and a selection of Hors d’oeuvres. The concert will be fully seated and properly socially distanced using Hard Rock’s “Safe + Sound” protocols. All guests and staff will be required to wear masks.

    General Prices for the Hard Rock Live event will be:
    $65 First Two Rows & Balcony Tables
    $55 Main Floor Seating & Lower Balcony
