Marriott Rewards and SPG are offering various packages for the upcoming NFL games at Wembley in October, both for auction and for immediate points purchase.
25,000 points gets you two premium tickets and an NFL gift – see here
Auction packages (some with no bids so far) get you two tickets and a chance to get onto the pitch before the game – see here
45,000 points gets you two VIP hospitality suite tickets – see here
Auction packages (all with no bids as of last night) get you two VIP hospitality suite tickets and a chance to get onto the pitch before the game – see here
There are similar packages on the SPG Moments site. It isn’t clear if these use separate availability (in which case check both sites) or if they are effectively selling the same seats.
Based on Rob’s valuation of 0.5p per Marriott point, you are “paying” £225 for the hospitality package. That is £112 per person for the ticket, gift and food and drink throughout the day, which sounds good to me.
