See The Killers with Virgin Points at The O2 from the new Virgin Red VIP box

Back in May, Virgin Red took over a box at The O2 in London with seats to be made available to members for points.

This will replace the box at the AO Arena in Manchester which will close after the summer.

Virgin Red is now offering tickets for the six highly anticipated shows by The Killers over the next two weeks.

The following shows are available as of 2pm Saturday at the bargain price of 30,000 Virgin Points for two people:

• Thursday 4th July
• Friday 5th July
• Sunday 7th July
• Monday 8th July
• Wednesday 10th July
• Thursday 11th July

This is what you need to know about the box:

• the box contains 28 seats, so it is larger than the Marriott Bonvoy box at The O2

• tickets are bookable with Virgin Points via the Virgin Red app

• tickets come with access to the fast track entry lane at The O2

• tickets come with two free drinks per person

• food, and additional drinks, will be available for purchase in the box

There is one important point to note. The box has not been decorated yet. It has been stripped back to bare walls. It won’t be long now – we have been invited to a press preview of the new look in early August – but I suspect it won’t be done in time for The Killers.

If you do not have a Virgin Red account but do have a Virgin Flying Club account, you will need to download the Virgin Red app, sign up and link your Flying Club account. Your existing points balance will then be usable in the app. If you join Virgin Red via this referral link you will get 1,000 bonus points with your first earn transaction.
