I've seen plenty of adverts and articles about a special Concorde flight. 
I vaguely remember some German TV station giving away two tickets in a 
competition.

The idea is that the participants celebrate the new year in Paris, fly 
across the Atlantic and arrive in New York in time for a second 
celebration. What a hoot it would be if Concorde never got off the runway 
in Paris...
