Chance to win Dh30,000, Global Village announces VIP packs

As Dubai’s Global Village gears up for its milestone Season 30, the much-anticipated VIP Packs are making a grand return — this time with even more exclusive privileges and an exciting opportunity for guests to win Dh30,000.

Pre-booking for the new season’s VIP Packs will open from September 20 to 26, followed by public sales starting September 27 at 10am, available exclusively through the Coca-Cola Arena website. Sales will continue until stocks run out, and given the growing popularity of Global Village’s premium offerings, demand is expected to be high.

The VIP Packs are designed for visitors who want to experience the multicultural destination in ultimate comfort and style. Each pack offers exclusive benefits, from priority entry and parking to entertainment perks and partner discounts. This year, one lucky VIP Pack holder will also find a hidden cheque worth Dh30,000 among the packages, adding an element of surprise to the experience.

The new season’s lineup includes:

Diamond Pack – Dh7,550
Platinum Pack – Dh3,400
Gold Pack – Dh2,450
Silver Pack – Dh1,800
Mega Gold Pack – Dh4,900
Mega Silver Pack – Dh3,350

Open to all UAE residents aged 18 and above with a valid Emirates ID, the VIP Packs are packed with added value. The Mega Gold and Mega Silver options, in particular, come bundled with Annual Passes for Dubai Parks™ and Resorts, giving holders unlimited access to major attractions like Real Madrid World, Motiongate Dubai, and LEGOLAND®.

In addition, members can enjoy unlimited entry to The Green Planet Dubai, exclusive discounts at Lapita Hotel and LEGOLAND® Hotel, ROXY Cinemas tickets, discounted admission for family and friends, and E-Wallet credit. Each pack also includes VIP entry tickets, priority parking, and Wonder Pass cards valid across top Global Village attractions — including the Stunt Show, Exo Planet City, Neon Galaxy X - Challenge Zone, and Carnaval.

Prices have seen a slight increase compared to last year — for instance, the Mega Gold Pack now costs Dh4,900 (up from Dh4,745) and the Mega Silver Pack is Dh3,350 (up from Dh3,245). Classic VIP Packs have also risen modestly, with increments ranging from Dh50 to Dh300 depending on the tier.

With Season 30 set to begin on October 15, Global Village continues to elevate its visitor experience, blending world cultures, entertainment, and shopping with premium convenience. For frequent visitors, these VIP Packs remain the best way to unlock the full magic of one of Dubai’s most beloved destinations — now with the bonus thrill of a Dh30,000 prize waiting to be discovered.
