Premium Seating as a Business Asset: Prudential Center Sets the Standard

The Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, redefined what it means to merge luxury with long-term investment strategy. At its Premium Club Tour & Tasting Event, the arena hosted a curated group of professionals, business leaders, and infrastructure stakeholders to showcase its Premium Seating Packages and Season Suites—not just as perks, but also as powerful business development assets.

Held inside The Pier Club, the event gave attendees exclusive access to luxury suites, immersive tastings, and tailored walk throughs of the venue’s premium spaces. From white-glove entry at the VIP West Entrance to expertly crafted cocktails and truffle hors d’oeuvres, every detail embodied the Prudential Center’s vision of elite client experience.

At the forefront of this effort was Nicholas Gallo, Manager of Premium Partnerships at the Prudential Center and New Jersey Devils. Gallo and his team offered guests exclusive membership packages as well as one-night-only incentives. The tour demonstrated how premium seating can strengthen corporate visibility, support executive engagement, and open doors to elite networking.

The event drew a powerful cross-section of industries, each exploring how premium access could serve their brand, their clients, and their communities:
