SAN FRANCISCO – Oct. 23, 2025 – The San Francisco Press Club is now selling tickets for its 48th awards gala after breaking a record in award entries.

This year, the Press Club received 910 entries, surpassing last year’s total of 798. 

This is now the fifth year in a row the SF Press Club has broken its previous record.

“In these challenging times, we need journalists who will keep the public informed, no matter the risks,” said Curtis Sparrer, president of the San Francisco Press Club. “The record number of entries shows that Bay Area journalists are rising to meet this moment. To celebrate their courage and dedication, we’re hosting our award show at one of the most glamorous locations in San Francisco: the Julia Morgan Ballroom, where we’re going all out with dedicated waiters, gourmet food, complimentary wine and stunning city views.”

Join us Tuesday, Dec. 9, at the stunning Julia Morgan Ballroom for cocktails at 5:30 p.m., followed by dinner and the big moment—awards announcements—at 6:30 p.m.!

Cocktail service will begin at 5:30 p.m., and dinner and awards will commence at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets will cost $200 at the door, but The San Francisco Press Club is now selling them for $65 for current members, $75 for working journalists, $50 for students (with a valid ID) and $150 for non-journalist allies.

Full tables for groups up to 10 can be purchased online.
