See Madonna and more as new Marriott Bonvoy O2 concert tickets released

Marriott Bonvoy has released a new batch of tickets for its box at the O2 Arena in London.

If you’ve never been, this is a great way to see a concert – or at least it is about as good as you can get in the aircraft hangar that is the O2.

I finally got to visit the new suite – it moved during the pandemic – for a recent Elton John concert along with some HfP readers, and I can confirm that you are now nearer the stage than you were. The drinks and ‘comfort food’ hot buffet were also good.

The real value of the suite is the ability to wander in and out at will. Dull song comes along? There is no problem nipping out to the loo or crashing out on a sofa to check your emails!

There is a bit of a difference this time. The Madonna tickets are being auctioned, with a reserve of 75,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per pair.

Here are the new concerts you can book – they are all ‘buy it now’ apart from Madonna

• 5 Seconds of Summer, 5th October – 50,000 points for two

• blink-182, 12th October – 50,000 points for two

• Madonna, 15th October – auctioned with a reserve of 75,000 points for two

• Madonna, 17th October – as above

• Madonna, 18th October – as above

The following concerts have been mentioned on HfP before but have not yet sold out:

• Sugababes, 15th September – 40,000 points for two

• aespa, 28th September – 30,000 points for two

You can redeem your Marriott Bonvoy points on this page of the Marriott site.

PS. Marriott also released Peter Kay tickets for 7th October but they sold out within an hour. If you are keen to see Peter Kay, Virgin Red has packages available for Virgin Points for its box at the AO Arena in Manchester.
