We were lucky to be able to sponsor the event, and we're very happy to be a part of it. There were just a few problems that I wish were handled differently...
In retospect I wish this thread never started because it's all I have been thinking of all afternoon and I should be thinking about what a great fucking time I had.
There is absolutely nothing we can do about what happened, it's in the past. I have to start planning the GFY party in Toronto now and how to "one up" the Playboy Mansion Party

DH, I understand but as a sponsor (especially one of your caliber) you should have had a lot more say in the entire matter. The fact that you could not get your clients in is absolutely ludicrous. You should have had a nice sized list from the get-go and if you needed any immediate changes you should have been accomodated. Immediately.
Hugh or Playboy did not throw the party (I'm assuming) so the promoters should have provided you with much more for your sponsorship monies. It seems that others that were not major sponsors had no problems getting their guests into the party.
Also, Hugh rents the Playboy mansion from Playboy for $1.3M a year with a yearly operating cost of $3.0M. At $4.3M a year that breaks down to roughly $12,000 a day. I'm sure that you could rent out the Mansion for only yourself and your clients for the $40k you sponsored the party with. If not, then It's probably not much off of that number.
How many sponsors were there and how much was the average sponsorship? The promoter must have cleaned house with the money he/she made.
