BLUE NOTE ENTERTAINMENT GROUP EXPANDS PARTNERSHIP WITH MASTERCARD® TO INCLUDE NEW YORK AND LONDON CLUBS

EXCLUSIVE ACCESS TO VIP PREMIUM SEATING AT SELECT SHOWS + MORE BEGINNING SEPTEMBER

September 18, 2026—Blue Note Entertainment Group is expanding its partnership with Mastercard® to include its iconic flagship club in New York City and new London location, giving cardholders special access to upcoming shows, Priceless Experiences, and more beginning this month.

Mastercard cardholders will now have exclusive access to experiences at Blue Note clubs in New York, London, and Los Angeles on priceless.com. This expanded partnership includes access to VIP premium seating for a “best seats in the house” club experience, giving cardholders the opportunity to purchase tickets to popular shows, including access to otherwise sold-out performances all year-round. This includes Robert Glasper’s highly sought-after Robtober residency in New York throughout October and the opening month of the brand-new London space. The partnership will also include two highly limited artist meet and greets per city per year—a rare, intimate moment giving cardholders special access to Blue Note talent.

“We’ve had a great experience working with Mastercard in Los Angeles, and expanding the partnership to New York and London was a natural next step,” says Steven Bensusan, President of Blue Note Entertainment Group. “Blue Note has always been about bringing audiences as close to the music and the artists as possible, and this gives Mastercard cardholders access to some of the best seats and most sought-after shows across our clubs. As we continue to grow Blue Note globally, we’re excited to have Mastercard growing alongside us.”

Upcoming performances and residencies where Mastercard cardholders will have unique access to artists can be found through priceless.com. More information on New York is HERE and London is HERE.
