If you\u2019re 21 or older and plan to be in the Chicago area in late October, you\u2019re likely planning to party at the Haunted Halloween Ball. The Annual Haunted Halloween Ball will be held on Saturday, October 28th this year at the Congress Plaza Hotel in Chicago. This adults-only party is one of the biggest and scariest Halloween events in the city and is expected to draw in thousands of guests. <\/p>\n

If you want to experience a night full of thrills, you\u2019ll want to start preparing now. Follow this simple guide to prepare for this year\u2019s Annual Haunted Halloween Ball in Chicago. <\/p>\n

Purchase Your Tickets<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"haunted<\/p>\n

The first thing you want to do if you haven\u2019t already is buy your tickets. There is limited space in the venue, meaning you likely won\u2019t get in unless you purchase your tickets ahead of time. <\/p>\n

General admission into the ball is $30 but there are exclusive early bird specials, but in a limited amount. You\u2019ll also want to consider additional reservations, such as a VIP table package that includes top-shelf bottles and reserved seating for you and your group. <\/p>\n

Secure Reliable Transportation<\/b><\/h2>\n

Having safe and reliable transportation for the evening of the Haunted Halloween Ball is a must. Unless you plan on having a designated driver, reserving a professional driver can ensure that you and your group get home safely. <\/p>\n

Consider limo service which allows you and your friends to start the party before you even arrive at the Congress Plaza Hotel. Modern limos are equipped with everything you need for fun and relaxing travel, such as plush seating, mood lighting, and state-of-the-art audio equipment. <\/p>\n

Other options include ride-share services and taxi cabs, but these services can be difficult to secure on busy nights.<\/p>\n

Reserve Accommodations<\/b><\/h2>\n

Another aspect you\u2019ll want to consider when preparing for Chicago\u2019s Haunted Halloween Ball is accommodations. If you want to avoid the commute after the party winds down, consider getting a room directly at the Congress Plaza Hotel. Of course, there are many other hotels in the area, such as The Drake, Swissotel Chicago, and The Godfrey Hotel Chicago.<\/p>\n

If you want more privacy, consider renting out a home for a weekend. There are many affordable Airbnb\u2019s in the area that offer privacy and comfort and are often better suited for larger groups who want to lodge together.<\/p>\n

Choose a Restaurant<\/b><\/h2>\n

You don\u2019t want to show up to the Haunted Halloween Ball hungry. Before the event, grab your friends and head out for a delicious dinner at one of the area\u2019s many amazing eateries. If you\u2019re in the mood for fine dining, reserve a table at Baka Restaurant or Les Nomades. <\/p>\n

For a moderately priced meal, you can\u2019t go wrong with The Chicago Diner or The Polo Inn Bridgeport U.S.A. Chicago is also known for its amazing variety of cheap eats, such as Bongiorno\u2019s Italian Deli and Pizzeria, Velvet Taco, and Devil Dawgs. <\/p>\n

Get a Halloween Costume<\/b><\/h2>\n

Finally, you\u2019ll want to get your Halloween costume. Each year, the Haunted Halloween Ball hosts a costume contest, and the winner can get up to $2,000 in cash and other prizes. If you want a chance at winning, you\u2019ll have to choose a unique costume that will make you stand out.<\/p>\n

Consider a costume that reflects current pop culture, such as Barbie and Ken if you\u2019re going as a couple. You may also want to choose an iconic character from Oppenheimer, Bridgerton, The Bear, or Top Gun. <\/p>\n

Preparing for the Haunted Halloween Ball<\/b><\/h2>\n

With Halloween just around the corner, it\u2019s time to start preparing now for the upcoming Annual Haunted Halloween Ball. Be sure to grab your tickets and get ready for an epic night of drinking, dancing, and all-around good times with friends. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
