Bid for Oasis and Coldplay VIP packages with your Hilton Honors points

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

As we have covered recently, Hilton Honors has entered into a multi-year partnership with the Football Association and Wembley Stadium.

The obvious benefits of this are access to England football matches and special events with England teams. There is also access to other key matches at Wembley Stadium – here is my review from a trip to the Carabao Cup final.

The deal also includes VIP access to concerts at Wembley Stadium – and there are some big ones coming up.

Oasis tickets with Hilton points

Here’s what you can now bid for:

Oasis – 25th July – 1 package available

  • VIP hospitality for two plus a night at Hilton Wembley

Oasis – 30th July – 1 package available

  • VIP hospitality for two plus a night at Hilton Wembley

Oasis – 30th July – 3 packages available

  • VIP hospitality for two but no hotel

Coldplay – 22nd August – 1 package available

  • VIP hospitality for two plus a night at Hilton Wembley

Coldplay – 22nd August – 4 packages available

  • VIP hospitality for two but no hotel

Coldplay – 23rd August – 1 package available

  • VIP hospitality for two plus a night at Hilton Wembley

Coldplay – 23rd August – 3 packages available

  • VIP hospitality for two but no hotel

Coldplay – 30th August – 2 packages available

  • VIP hospitality for two but no hotel

The VIP package is the same as I describe here from the Carabao Cup final. It’s a high quality five course meal with an impressive wine and champagne selection – Hilton uses the very top tier of Wembley hospitality, with just 120 seats available.

You can bid via the Hilton Experiences site here. Do NOT search by ‘United Kingdom’ as, due to IT issues, it won’t work. Instead, click ‘Browse All Experiences’ at the bottom of the home page.

For what I suspect are legal reasons, Hilton can’t name the band performing each night, so make sure you bid on the correct one. (We had similar issues when we gave away Elton John tickets on HfP a couple of years ago – it’s an odd one.)

Good luck! These packages will go for a lot of points but, at least for Oasis, it will be a lot cheaper than buying tickets on the secondary market.

    Unless it’s a seat in first 10 rows NOTHING is worth anything for any concert/event.

    As someone who, in the 80s, worked in a 2000 seat venue which had worldwide stars like Tina Turner, Elton John, George Micheal I refuse to submit to the absurd idea of watching a TV screen from 100m, 200m, 500m away.

    Live music should be live AND experienced which doesn’t come from the back of a huge shed.

      From Rob’s previous review, my recollection of Blur from last summer, and assuming the stage is in the same place, I’d say you’d be 50m – 70m away, with the stage to your left. Assuming you are OK with sitting I don’t think that’s a bad seat.

      If you want to be close, you want to be standing — as I was for Blur.

        One major problem with standing anywhere near the front at an Oasis gig is the vast amount of pints of urine that will be showering down on you.

        Sadly this also applies to seating. The more seats there are behind you, the higher your risk.

        So these VIP seats could potentially be very valuable if there’s some protection against such.

          Yep. It’s going to be full of scumbags which is why I didn’t even consider buying standing tickets

          Based on the short cameo at the boxing a few months ago, the quality of the singing isn’t going to be up to much either.

      +1 in the 00s I was talked into going to see Oasis at the Newcastle arena. Didn’t know at the time but it was seats in front of the hospitality boxes. Couldn’t actually be any further from the stage (except inside the boxes).

      I’ve never bothered with a large concert since and couldn’t believe what people were willing to pay for oasis tickets this time

      I actually find as long as the accoustics are good then seeing doesnt overly matter, I am there for the music and hearong the crowd interact with the artist, so being far away isn’t a major issue. Now the usual issue with hospitality is the people in boxes often dont actually care that much who is performing and thus not actually a fun place to be as its more about the drink than the music! But if I am gping to see a concert rather than listen to a concert, then the concert is not for me!

        Hearing the crowd interact ?

        What singing (shouting) along, out of tune and out of time ?
        Or repeatedly screaming for their favourite song.

      A seat ? Luxury.
      Gigs should be experienced standing up.
      Not on a chair with security asking people to sit down for the first 90 minutes.

      I think a decent minority justify it with “how many more chances will I get to see McCartney / Stones / Dylan etc”.
      Unless you are incredibly, incredibly lucky, you ain’t seeing them in a 900 capacity venue.

      And a bit of me always regrets not going to see the Jam in 1980 at Deeside Leisure centre (a worse place to see a band ever) and that’s despite seeing Weller in smallish venues plenty of times since.

      The rest are inflicted with a severe case of FOMO and a desire to say they were there.
      Plus everyone wants to do exactly the same thing.

      Hard to believe but the attendances at Euro 96 weren’t sold out bar Wembley & tickets a doddle to come by.
      21k at one Anfield match, at least 10k empty seats at the Old Trafford semi final.

        Saw the Jam 3 times back in the day, first time being the best as it was a smaller venue ( still 2k though, Brum odeon ) wish I had managed to catch them at somewhere like Barbarellas though…

          It’s the Birmingham Odeon that I worked at.

          Great venue, great sound.

          I saw 200+ bands there (when I hadn’t snuck off to the Yard of Ale)

            Agreed, the sound was always good there in my experience.
            Echo & the bunny men @ the odeon, have always considered that the best performance I have witnessed in respect of sounding almost like their recorded sound….
            The jam at Bingley Hall was decent, didn’t match the odeon sound, but I managed to snaffle one of Rick’s (RIP) drumsticks that he chucked to the crowd. ..I treated that like a priceless relic, but years later married with kids, used it to stir paint haha

        +1 for all-standing/all-dancing/all-moshing venues. How can you rave from a seat?

    Similar to the football, these kind of tickets are fine if you want the sanitised experience. But for concerts you’d be as well staying at home popping on some Oasis with a couple of bottles of LPGS and some lobsters.

    How does the bidding work? Do you enter a maximum bid which it automatically bids up to, or is the bid you make final.

      You can state a maximum bid and then the system will rebid on your behalf when others outbid you.
