Hate paying for shopping events? I mean, you’re paying to spend money. Weird. Well, fortunately Goldstar is offering VIP comp tickets for Fashion Elements’ holiday shopping event this coming Saturday. All you have to pay is the $4.75 service fee (otherwise it’s $15 if you’d rather pay for full price, or $5 for general admission full price).

A VIP ticket gets you in the event at noon, two crucial hours before the general admission shoppers. You also get to relax from your minutes of shopping in the LA.com-hosted VIP Lounge where you’re treated to free cocktails and mini spa services. And if you can’t decide what you want to buy there will be a runway show from 2 to 5pm to help you make up your mind.

If $4.75 is still too much for you (I feel ya, ya cheapskate), there are also comp’d general admission tickets with a $2.50 service fee.

Treat yourself to a little sumthin sumthin as well as get early Christmas shopping out of the way. The event features 60% off clothes, accessories and jewelry for both men and women from new designers such as Voom by Joy Han, T-Bags and Single. If you’d rather stick to labels you know, Christian Lacroix, Fendi, True Religion, Tart and Hudson will also be on hand. (Visa/Mastercard and cash are accepted at the event.)

EVENT: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17 from 12pm to 5pm
