Jay-Z’s The 40/40 Club closed its primary Manhattan location’s doors last year, but the legendary nightclub will be making a return for one weekend only.
In partnership with Fanatics Sportsbook, a reimagined version of the classy sports-themed lounge is coming to the Javits Center for Fanatics Fest NYC on Aug. 16, and will run through Aug. 18.
Blending the worlds of luxury, sports and entertainment, The 40/40 Club returns, but will be open to VIP Fanatics Sportsbook customers along with the array of celebrities and athletes expected to be in attendance.
40/40 is going all out in curating the ambiance that the esteemed nightclub held, with autographed jerseys and memorabilia hanging across the walls along with stadium seating and glitzy chandeliers illuminating the venue.
It’s slated to be a star-studded affair with Tom Brady, Kevin Durant, Yankees legend Derek Jeter, New York Knicks leader Jalen Brunson, Carmelo Anthony, Mike Tyson, NBA Hall-of-Famer Allen Iverson, Jerry Rice, David Ortiz, Spike Lee, Peyton and Eli Manning and more expected to be in attendance.
Jay-Z and Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin aligning is fitting considering they have collaborated on projects such as the REFORM Alliance in the past, and Hov pulled up to Rubin’s famed white party on July 4.
Fanatics Fest NYC is the first annual celebration bringing sports fans and card collectors together for a unique experience under one roof in the Big Apple. Tickets are still on sale, with adult day passes priced at $50 plus fees, with kids 12 and under going for $20-$30 plus fees depending on the day. There are also three-day passes and VIP packages ($400+) available.
Jay’s 40/40 Club’s Flatiron location closed its doors in August 2023, but plans to reopen in a brand new NYC location in 2025.
