“As the event goes into its 11th year and we, Bentley Scottsdale, go into our 8th year as the title sponsor, we are thrilled to kick-off an incredible lineup of events, polo matches and cars on November 5th,” Merdovic stated. “We are equally as elated to show off and give everyone a sneak preview to our new Bentleys for 2023.”

Gates will open at 10:00 a.m. on Nov. 5.

“Last year was our biggest year ever with a quarter mile of tents. We maxed out the site and expect to again this year with an experience unlike anything in this American sport of luxury,” the event owner Jason Rose stated in the release.

General admission tickets start at $40 and includes field-side experiences like the Sanderson Lincoln Black Label Lounge and several other DJ-infused party tents including the Grimaldi’s Pizza & Beer Disco, Prosecco and Popcorn and the Riot House DayClub.
