Redeem Virgin Points for new events at The O2
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
Virgin Red has taken a box at The O2 arena in London, and we recently published an article showing you what it is like inside.
It’s looking good!
Virgin Red has now released tickets for shows in February to add to the shows already available.
There is some good stuff in the new additions for semi-oldies including James Blunt, Snow Patrol, Craig David and Cyndi Lauper, plus Strictly Come Dancing (which includes an afternoon show).
How to book
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.
Top-up via a credit card bonus:
If you want to top up your Virgin Points for a future concert redemption, you now receive 18,000 Virgin Points as a sign-up bonus with the Virgin Atlantic Reward+ Mastercard. Our full review is here and you can apply here.
