( CNN ) -- Buy a $ 175,000 package to attend the Oscars and you might buy yourself trouble , lawyers for the Academy Awards warn . The 81st annual Academy Awards will be held on February 22 from Hollywood 's Kodak Theatre . The advertising of such packages -- including four tickets to the upcoming 81st annual Academy Awards and a hotel stay in Los Angeles , California -- has prompted the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to sue an Arizona-based company . The Academy accused the company Experience 6 of selling `` black-market '' tickets , because tickets to the lavish movie awards show can not be transferred or sold . Selling tickets could become a security issue that could bring celebrity stalkers or terrorists to the star-studded event , says the lawsuit , which was filed Monday in federal court in the Central District of California . `` Security experts have advised the Academy that it must not offer tickets to members of the public and must know identities of the event attendees , '' the lawsuit says . `` In offering such black-market tickets , defendants are misleading the public and the ticket buyers into thinking that purchasers will be welcomed guests , rather than as trespassers , when they arrive for the ceremony . '' Experience 6 did not return calls from CNN for comment . On Tuesday morning , tickets to the event were still being advertised on the company 's Web site . The Oscars will be presented February 22 from Hollywood 's Kodak Theatre . The Academy Awards broadcast will air on ABC . Hugh Jackman is scheduled to host .
