Fab Flash: New York Fashion Week Open to The Public

For the first time ever, consumers will have the ability to buy tickets to the runway shows in New York - which start September 5! Up until now, the shows have been invitation-only for the press, buyers, and guests of sponsors.

The tickets are now available to holders of American Express Gold, Platinum, and Centurion cards on AmericanExpress.com, and allow the purchasers to watch the shows from a Skybox-like hospitality suite, complete with food and drink. One show will cost $100, while a two-show package will go for $200. Dang.

American Express is offering just 450 packages, so if you're interested, don't wait too long to act!
