2008/2009 New Year's Eve Parties in Amsterdam
- Popular Leidseplein comedy club Boom Chicago gives guests a chance to laugh in the face of an ailing economy and glam it up like high-rollers at "The Game." Expect DJs, a Champagne lounge and "Millionaire's Bingo." General tickets (€ 37 pre-sale, € 42 at the door) include free Champagne at midnight; or pay € 120 for all that plus a pre-party comedy show, three-course dinner and unlimited beer and wine during both.
- Out in the Eastern Harbor, you'll want to wear your best parachute pants or sport "The Rachel" do for the "We All Love '80s and '90s" party at Panama. General tickets are € 37.50 pre-sale, € 45 at the door, or € 75 if you want a three-course meal beforehand.
- Get "Fierce, Flawless & Fabulous" at trendy Supperclub on the last night of the year (they suggest glitter and glamour, along with dozens of other dress-code categories). With your € 120 ticket you'll get a glass of Champagne, a surprise goody bag, a selection of finger foods and entertainment that's sure to live up to Supperclub's anything-goes reputation.
- At just € 40, the "Border Community Night" (named for a prominent electronic music label) at the Melkweg offers a good value for money -- if you like electronica, which will pound in both main halls. The theater will pump disco while the cinema screens animated films.
