If you are a baller or make music about getting money you should be in attendance at the Sean “Diddy” Combs grammy after party.  If you are really ‘poppin’ tags’ then you will cop the ‘Monster’ Cabana for your crew: $50,000.

That 50K will get you 2 cabanas, VIP admission for 20 people, buffet dinner, open bar, free bottle service and 15 dedicated female promotional models at the 54th annual Grammy Awards after party.

 

If that’s a little bit too much for your budget you can grab tickets in other price ranges from $25,000 down to $1500.

 

The event is for a very good cause. It will benefit Angelwish.org. The organization grants wishes to millions of children around the world who are living with or affected by HIV/AIDS.
