With modernized technology, state-of-the-art lighting, and new signature sound and interactive capabilities, the Constellation Ball is the most technologically advanced iteration of the Times Square New Year's Eve Ball.

The Premium Ball Exprience woll provide visitors an opportunity to craft a special message that will be translated into Morse code, and visually communicated through light on the Ball. To commemerate the experience, Premium Ball Experience ticketholders will receive a crystal as a keepsake, representing a piece of New York City history.
