New concert tickets at The O2 available for the SPG suite on points

Another batch of concerts has been added to the SPG Moments and Marriott Moments sites.

These are a good use of points – the box, whilst a long way from the stage, is very comfortable (see photo below) and the food and drink on offer is high quality.  Here is Anika’s review of a trip to see Muse.

This is the current list on SPG Moments (click here).  The new additions are at the top.  All prices are for TWO tickets and priced in SPG points.

Flight of the Conchords (21st June) – 15,000 points

Quincy Jones (22nd June) – 15,000 points

Queen & Adam Lambert (2nd and 4th July) – 15,000 points

Britney Spears (24th, 25th and 26th August) – 20,000 points

Some of the above, plus a few others which have been around for a while, are also on Marriott Moments (click here).  Here are the extra ones.

These prices are for TWO people and are in Marriott Rewards points (so x 3 from the equivalent number of SPG points).
