Bid 1,410 Avios for an amazing VIP experience – if you’ve got five free days and a tuxedo

As we’ve covered multiple times on HfP this year, there are some excellent VIP experiences bookable with Avios via Privilege Club Collection.
This allows members of Qatar Airways Privilege Club to bid Avios for tickets to key sporting and entertainment events. You can take part by linking your British Airways Executive Club account to a Qatar Airways Privilege Club account and moving Avios across.
This article explains more about how Privilege Club Collection works.
I know that many HfP readers have been making hay with tickets for The O2 in London.
Unlike Marriott Bonvoy or Virgin Red, who make you suffer by watching a concert from the confines of a mere VIP suite, Qatar Airways tickets get you access to The NinetyThird. This is the new private club at The O2 with multiple bars and fine dining restaurants.
Qatar Airways throws in £400 with your tickets to spend on food and drink during the concert. It may or may not be true that some readers have been redeeming a handful of Avios for niche concerts they have zero interest in, purely to spend 3-4 hours working through £400 in the bars and restaurants of The NinetyThird …..
Get your tuxedo out
Nothing, however, has been as cheap as the package for the Goodwood Festival which is currently being auctioned.
It currently sits at 1,310 Avios (this is not a typo – we’re talking £13 of Avios) and you get the following:
- Two VIP tickets per day with access to the Qatar Racing & Equestrian Club (QREC) box that offers unrivalled views of the racetrack and includes food and beverage and car parking, from 30th July to 3rd August
- Experience driving at the Goodwood motor circuit on 31st July
- Invitation to the Regency ball at Goodwood House hosted by the Duke and Duchess of Richmond on 1st August
So, to make the most of this deal:
- You need to be free for five days (30th July to 3rd August) and have enough interest in horse racing – or free food and drink – to want to spend those five days in a VIP box at Goodwood
- You need to fancy the idea of being driven around a motor circuit at crazy speed
- You and your +1 need to fancy the idea of spending an evening at a ball hosted by the Duke and Duchess of Richmond
If this sounds like you, and you have 1,410 Avios available (which is the next highest acceptable bid at the time of writing), head to the Privilege Club Collection site here.
The auction closes at 23.59 on Tuesday.
