160 bucks
Drake and Kevin Hart are coaching the All-Star Celebrity Game on Friday (February 12), so there's a good chance the 6ix God will be hanging at the
Kevin Hart Celebrity Game After Party at Roy Thomson Hall (60 Simcoe) afterwards. The price of admission is $120-$565. Or perhaps Drizzy will be lint-rolling with Gwen Stefani and Usher at the NBA's o
fficial True North Party at Roundhouse Park (255 Bremner)? Tickets for that will set you back $1,750.
More affordable is
Dudebox's Moonshine party at an old furniture warehouse in Liberty Village (51 Jefferson) on Friday. DJ Windows 98, aka Celebrity Team Canada member Win Butler of Arcade Fire, will DJ alongside the Toronto Blue Jays drum line. Cover is $5-$10 and proceeds go to Régine Chassagne's KANPE charity.
Even more affordable is Sunday night's (February 14)
The New Toronto concert at Danforth Music Hall (147 Danforth) featuring rapper Tory Lanez and producer/DJ Ryan Hemsworth. Admission is free with RSVP.
Another hot ticket is San Antonio Spurs player
Matt Bonner's Friday-night fundraiser for the Rock On Foundation at Lee's Palace (529 Bloor West). Girl Talk is performing, and tickets are $40-$80.
Mid-range to full-on VIP club experiences can be had at
Future's Phoenix Concert Theatre(410 Sherbourne) gig, and
A$AP Ferg's show at 70 Down (70 Yorkville), both on Sunday, and
Travis Scott's party at La Vie Complex (224 Richmond West) on Saturday.
On the DJ front, Atlanta producer Metro Boomin is having a busy All-Star Weekend with gigs at
