Romantasy fans will get a chance to take their love for the genre beyond the pages and into real life when a Rittenhouse Square mansion becomes the setting for an elegant fantasy-themed event.<\/p>\n
General admission opens at 8 p.m. with early access to three floors of the mansion for exploration. Guests will discover a lineup of experiences, including vendors, tarot readings, photo opportunities, billiards, harp music, and a flash tattoo artist. Tattoos and vendor purchases will incur an extra charge.<\/p>\n
After doors to the ballroom open, guests will be invited inside to enjoy performances by a live string quartet. A group ballroom dance will take place at 9 p.m., complete with aerial acts, drag, and burlesque performances inspired by fantasy and romantasy. The ball wraps up at midnight.<\/p>\n
Drinks and light bites are included with admission. General admission includes two drink tickets; the couples package includes four. VIP admission includes early entry at 7:30 p.m., plus an open bar. A full bar will also be available to non-VIP ticket holders during the event.<\/p>\n
Formal fantasy attire is required. Organizers note that the dress code invites gowns and formalwear with a fantasy twist.<\/p>\n
General admission is $225 through Sept. 15 and $275 after this date. The couples package costs $400 during the early-bird period and $500 after the early-bird period ends. VIP tickets are $350.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Romantasy fans will get a chance to take their love for the genre beyond the pages and into…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":277487,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[69,71,70],"class_list":["post-277486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=277486"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277486\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/277487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=277486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=277486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=277486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
