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 an Elton John concert last year 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!
Here are the new concerts you can book as a ‘buy it now’ redemption, plus a couple left over from the previous batch:
- Cigarettes After Sex, 12th and 13th November – 30,000 Bonvoy points for two
- keshi, 4th December – 20,000 Bonvoy points for two
- Peter Kay, 5th December – 50,000 Bonvoy points for two
- Jacob Collier, 9th December – 20,000 Bonvoy points for two
- Kygo, 11th December – 30,000 Bonvoy points for two
- Pete Tong, 14th December – 40,000 Bonvoy points for two
- Culture Club, 15th December – 40,000 Bonvoy points for two
There are also a lot of Disney on Ice packages at varying prices.
Paul McCartney tickets are being auctioned. There are two shows on 18th and 19th December. The minimum bid for a pair of tickets is 50,000 Bonvoy points.
My wife and I saw Paul McCartney from the Marriott Bonvoy suite last time he played at The O2 in 2018. There is something a little spine-tingling about hearing Beatles numbers being played live with the original singer, and he was even joined on stage by Ringo Starr for a couple of numbers.
Two Slipknot events for 20th and 21st December and the R’n’B Christmas Ball for 21st December are also being auctioned. Again, the minimum bid is 50,000 points.
