“Nothing is off limits. We have tickets to absolutely everything.”

A Boston concert you’re longing to see is sold out, you say? A city hotel begs to differ.

Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport just launched an All Access Pass package that includes VIP tickets to concerts and events taking place in Boston throughout 2026 — even if they’re sold out.

Concert tourism is on the rise and projected to reach $18 billion by 2029, according to market analysis firm Technavio.

“It’s one of those things where it’s all about experiences,” said Leon Bolivar, director of marketing at Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport. “[Concert tourists] are wanting to experience a concert, band, but in a brand new city.”

Boston is a hot concert destination this year, Bolivar said.

“We have Lady Gaga later on this month, Ariana Grande, Bruno Mars is touring again. So we wanted to be able to offer folks not only a place to call home when they’re in Boston but also provide them white-glove service, give them access to tickets that may be sold out with this concept of the All Access Pass,” he said.

Winter rates at the hotel begin at $300, Bolivar said, and the starting cost for the All Access Pass ranges from $1,000 to $1,300.

“It’s tiered based on the budget level of the guest,” he said.

Guests get overnight accommodations, guaranteed tickets, transportation to the venue, and an in-room amenity tied to the event, he said, and can add perks like sound check access, VIP lounge entry, and a meet-and-greet with the artist (if available).

What’s more, all guests enjoy the property’s 24-hour art gallery, seven restaurants, and Boston’s only heated rooftop pool, which is open year round, he noted.

Event tickets aren’t limited to concerts, Bolivar said. Hotel guests can also get into theater and sporting events, including hit Broadway musicals like “Hamilton,” the FIFA World Cup, and playoff games for Boston sports teams.

“Nothing is off limits,” he said. “We have tickets to absolutely everything. We have a third party company that we work with.”

Guests are guaranteed premium seating, Bolivar noted, adding, “You’re not going to be up in the rafters.”

When asked if he has enough tickets to meet the potential demand, Bolivar said, “Our objective is to test the market to see if there is an appetite for this. We know that we have access to a solid number of tickets for our guests.”

Travelers who book the package stay in a patron tower room, but can also upgrade to a suite, he said. Guests with existing room reservations have access to the package as well, but additional charges will be added.

Here is a list of upcoming concerts and events the hotel has exclusive access to so far this year:

Lady Gaga
Ariana Grande
Bruno Mars
Chris Stapleton
Doja Cat
Zach Bryan
BTS
FIFA World Cup Games
Celtics games (including playoffs)
Bruins games (including playoffs)
Red Sox opening day
One-on-one session with Will Dailey
