Gov. Chris Sununu is hosting two inaugural balls, one at the Doubletree by Hilton Downtown Hotel this weekend in Manchester and the second is at Bretton Woods on Jan. 21.
Tickets are at https://www.nheverywhereman.com/ Some of the higher-priced tickets allow for people to attend a VIP reception and get a photo with the governor.
Tickets start at $200 per person for the event at the Doubletree by Hilton Downtown Hotel in Manchester on Jan. 7 to $10,000 for a table of 10. The event at the Mount Washington Hotel starts at $100 per person.
There were no balls at the last inaugural because the state was in the midst of a pandemic.
In 2013, tickets to then-Gov. Maggie Hassan’s, now a Democratic U.S. senator, black-tie inaugural ball at Manchester’s Radisson Hotel were $200 per person and one at the Mount Washington Hotel at $100 per person, according to NHPR.
