I've seen formals from places like UF and they seem to be done in regular banquet halls.
And how much are tickets per couple?

Ours is totally different.
Fraternities at the UofArkansas go to another city to hold the formal. They split a two bed room with a date and another fraternity brother and his date and spend the weekend there. It is very, very formal but the dancing is usually done in the downstairs of the hotel or really close so we can spend time drinking at the bar. Common destinations for formal are Kansas City, St. Louis, Dallas (try not to go there so much because so many of the members or their dates are from there, so it's not much of a getaway) or Memphis. Hot Springs is also an option but a far less used one.
