Gaslamp Event Management (GEM) has been offering top-notch event planning services (specializing in nightlife) for over a decade. Most recently, they put on the San Diego Zombie Crawl, a Halloween themed bar crawl down in the Gaslamp Quarter. I found out about this event through social media when I was looking for something to do for Halloween. For a reasonable price, me and my friends were able to get free access to about 20 different bars and clubs around Gaslamp, and most of them gave us a welcome shot or some kind of free promo upon entry. The hosts in all the clubs we went to were all very nice, so that was a big plus. And, it was also really cool to see everyone's Halloween costumes throughout the night. I don't go to Gaslamp very often so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I ended up having a really good time. I'll definitely check out the Zombie Crawl again next year! read more

I attended the Gaslamp Mardi Gras event this past weekend--and I had the best time!! The check-in process was smooth and easy, with attentive and kind staff checking us in. They really know what they're doing!! They even gave us free beads! We started at the opening party at American Junkie and redeemed our free welcome shot and stayed for a little. The event featured at least 30 venues, great music, lively entertainment, and an overall fun atmosphere. The energy throughout the night was incredible, and the welcome shots at each stop were a fun bonus! We loved this event so much we're coming back this weekend for the Irish4ADay event. I can't wait!!! Thank you GEM for these AMAZING events and ticket perks--they're truly incomparable to all the other party hops out there!!!! read more

Irish 4 A Day was fantastic. This event hosted by GEM offered much more than any other Irish Pub Crawl offered in that entire week. There were twice as many bars in this pub crawl and had the best Gaslamp participating bars. GEM ticketing, staff, promoters, and clients were so professional and accommodating. They genuinely set out to make sure everyone has a good time. Other GEM events such as Mardi Gras and Zombie Crawl are FANTASTIC!!! Its a must in San Diego. They're parties shut down major streets and have the best DJ's and activities. The atmospheres are lively and all around a great time. I recommend buying tickets to ALL of their events! read more

With over 20 venues and 10 welcome shots included, the tickets offer so much more than expected. I'm definitely planning to come back next year and explore more events hosted by GEM! read more

I came and visited San Diego last weekend and was pleasantly surprised at the Irish 4 A Day event that Gaslamp Event Management put on for St. Patties Day. There were a couple other bar crawls that I was deciding between, but this one had by the best selection of welcome shots and free entries for their value. I was able (barely) to make it to 8-10 different bars and clubs with my ticket and spend no money at all by using their welcome shots. I will definitely be coming back down next year after the time I had! read more

I had such a great time at the Mardi Gras Bar Crawl in Gaslamp. I purchased a ticket for Saturday with all of my friends and fully took advantage of all of the perks that came with the ticket. I grabbed my pass at American Junkie, took a free welcome shot, and then made my way to over 10 different clubs that I had free entry to. The streets were packed with people in green, purple, and gold beads. It felt similar to the real Mardi Gras! I am definitely buying a ticket for Mardi Gras Bar Crawl next year. read more

I had such an amazing time during their Mardi Gras event! I picked up my ticket out front of American Junkie which they decorated to be themed to Mardi Gras which was really cute. I was then given a free welcome shot right inside as part of my purchase and the event staff was extremely friendly! I definitely tried to use the ticket to my advantage and went to countless bars using my free welcome shots. Overall, Incredible night and I will 100% be attending your next big event during St. Patricks Day! read more

I attended the Del Mar Racing Kickoff Party with my girlfriend and it was a GREAT experience! We bought tickets after seeing a post about the event from GEM's Facebook. The crowd was dressed to the nines in attire reminiscent of opening-day, the drinks were great with race-themed cocktails , the vendors sold equestrian art and clothing from Ooh La La Boutique, and the venue was at the Club M, inside of the Fairmont Grand Del Mar hotel. I don't think this event could have gotten any more lavish. read more
