Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

IHG has ‘buy it now’ Champions League Final packages – for 1.3m points!

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

Here is a genuine ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity to use your points for a package to the UEFA Champions League.

The first snag is that the three packages on offer must be sold before we know who is in the final.

The second snag is that you’ll need 1.3 million IHG One Rewards points. At our valuation of 0.4p per point, this is £5,500-worth. It’s worth noting that Mastercard was selling these packages on its own website for €6,000 but that allocation has now gone.

IHG has 'buy it now' Champions League Final tickets

You will need to have a Mastercard credit or debit card, of any sort, to qualify to buy these packages.

This is what you get:

Relax in luxury, dine in style, meet the stars, and watch Europe’s biggest match from exceptional seats

Relish a once-in-a-lifetime weekend of top-class European football in Munich with your favourite fan. You’ll stay three nights at a lavish four-star hotel, with private transfers and an exclusive UEFA Champions League-themed arrival gift. You’ll kick things off with a gourmet welcome dinner and meet-and-greet with a surprise star. On match day, the two of you will cheer from Category 1 seats at Munich’s Fußball Arena—and you’ll wrap up your trip with a guided city tour and a farewell feast at a top local restaurant. Exclusively for Mastercard cardholders.

What’s priceless

Being part of the roaring crowd as you watch Europe’s top talent battle it out for the UEFA Champions League trophy.

The highlights

  • Indulge in the ultimate European football getaway for you and a guest
  • Enjoy a three-night stay at a four-star Munich hotel, with private transfers and a welcome gift
  • Settle into complimentary category 1 seats for the final match of the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League season
  • Spend an afternoon sightseeing with a guide in Munich
  • Savour delectable welcome and farewell dinners

You must purchase these packages by Wednesday 23rd April, which is unfortunate given that the semi-finals do not take place until the week after!

Three packages are available, limited to one per person.

The dates are Friday 30th May to Monday 2nd June.

For clarity, transport is not provided so you will need to get to Munich under your own steam.

You can find full details on the IHG Access website here.

Thanks to Alex for this.

    Or I could stay from now until the end of June at my local Holiday Inn Express. I know which one I’d prefer…

      Yes, we definitely shouldn’t let sponsors release any of their tickets to the great unwashed. They should all be kept for people like me as freebies.

      Where have you been?

      Sponsorships and offers like this have been around for decades.

      And the game hasn’t been “beautiful” in a long time either. But not because of sponsorship / corporate offers.

        Pretty much died for me when Sky started taking over tv rights.
        All became about money then.

        1.3m points would probably bring a tear of joy to BA’s eyes. Rewarding those who have no issues affording it in the first place, or have a company paying.
        That amount of points definitely isn’t an amount the average Joe would have.

        Anyway, no interest me, but fair play to anyone who does drop points for that.

    This is a great opportunity for a ihg points multi millionaire. In my opinion, sports are becoming too expensive for ppl. If a person did everything that the package is including by booking individually then everything else would work out cheaper except the football tickets. The tour, hotel and meal wouldn’t be worth much as it’s 4* hotel. You are really paying for the good seats in the stadium. It might be worth it to some fans. I like football and I am a fan, but I am the type of fan; happy to catch a game on tv. I have never cared to actually turn up at a stadium as the only time I did go, I didn’t like the experience. Having said that, I do understand how much a true fan would want to go because I am a true tennis fan and would definitely pay a lot to watch Rafa vs joker or fedex play again.

      I believe lower league and non-league football is available for those who miss the purity of the old days.

      However few people seem to choose to watch such football because they prefer to watch the big names attracted to the UK by the TV and corporate money.

      Funny old world.

        Few people? Something like 10 million went to league 1 to conference level football last season.

        Football is only worth watching if you go. And watch from the terraces not from the posh seats. I can afford the latter, have been ‘hosted’ many times, but always choose to go with the real fans – those who chant and seek to torment the opposition, and who, very occasionally, get hauled out of the stadium by the stewards / police. I avoid the fights afterwards though – preferring to drown a few pints to celebrate another heroic loss.

          Oh. And avoid the Premiership. Real football is in the EFL and lower leagues.

            It hasn’t been called the Premiership for almost 20 years now. Unless you’re talking about Scottish football?

          I know your post is in jest but there’s very little fighting at any level of football these days.

        Championship is 2nd best attended league in Europe, even in tiers 5 or 6 5000 crowds aren’t unusual.

        The EFL is actually in pretty rude health of late.

        Over 21.7 million supporters passed through the turnstiles of an EFL competition in 2022-23, with the highest cumulative attendances recorded for league matches since 1953-54.

        The Championship the fifth best attended division in Europe behind only the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga and Serie A.

        15% rise in season ticket sales from 2020-21 has contributed to the growth in attendances and represents the highest number of season tickets sold from any EFL season in the 21st century. Junior season ticket sales have also continued to rise.

        To quote the EFL CEO

        “To welcome nearly 22 million supporters to an EFL competition in 2022/23 is quite remarkable. These numbers don’t happen by accident. They are testament to the efforts of the 72 Clubs to create such quality football and matchday experiences that encourages fans to attend matches in person even when there are so many other ways to consume football, and particularly when so many people are facing a squeeze on their finances.
