Concert updates: new London VIP event tickets from Accor, Marriott and Virgin

Your options for redeeming miles and points for live events in London continue to increase.

Last year Virgin Red opened a suite at The O2 in London, competing with Marriott Bonvoy’s long established offering.

A few weeks ago, ALL (Accor Live Limitless) opened the ALL Terrace at the OVO (Wembley) Arena.

New tickets were just released by all three so I thought it was worth a round up. Availability was accurate as of yesterday evening.

The ALL Terrace at OVO Arena Wembley

Accor is the largest hotel group in the world outside the Americas, so there are no shortage of ibis, Novotel, Pullman, Mercure, Sofitel, Raffles etc hotels where you can earn points to redeem for OVO Arena packages. Our full overview of Accor Live Limitless is here if you want to find out more about how the scheme works.

There are no credit card partnerships, directly or indirectly. You CAN transfer Avios into Accor Live Limitless points via Qatar Airways Privilege Club but the rate isn’t great at 4.5 to 1 – read more here. It may work for you if there is an act you are very keen to see and tickets are otherwise unavailable.

My review of the ALL Terrace is here. It offers the best view of the stage of any of the three concert ticket options here, although The O2 tends to get the biggest acts.

Each package comes with vouchers for three free drinks and one food item per person, as well as access to the Heroes lounge and use of the VIP entrance.

You can currently redeem for:

• Destroy Lonely, Wednesday 2nd April – 3,000 points for two
• PlayStation The Concert, Sunday 27th April – 6,000 points for two
• Aurora, Saturday 3rd May – 5,000 points for two
• Andre Rieu, Thursday 8th May – 8,500 points for two
• Olly Murs, Sunday 18th May – 5,000 points for two
• Lara Fabian, Tuesday 3rd June – 9,000 points for two

If you live in Wembley, 3,000 Accor points for six drinks and two large pizzas between two people is a good deal for Destroy Lonely, even if you spend all night in the Heroes lounge!

Marriott Bonvoy suite at The O2

Marriott, and Starwood before it, has had a suite at The O2 for almost a decade now so there isn’t much left to say.

All packages are for two people. There is usually a free hot buffet set up as well as an open bar with free house drinks. You can enter via the VIP lanes.

You can transfer American Express Membership Rewards points to Marriott Bonvoy at a 2:3 transfer rate. Transfers are usually instaneous. You can earn a big boost of Membership Rewards points via the sign-up bonus on American Express Preferred Rewards Gold (free for a year) or The Platinum Card.

The following packages went live this week:

• Andrea Bocelli, Thursday 1st May and Friday 2nd May – 50,000 points for two
• Usher, Wednesday 7th May – 50,000 points for two

Virgin Red Room at The O2

The Virgin Red Room opened last year. It is very similar to the Marriott Bonvoy suite in size, albeit very red! You do NOT get free food but can order for delivery to the suite. You receive two free drinks per person.

My review of the Virgin Red Room is here.

You can transfer American Express Membership Rewards points to Virgin Flying Club at a 1:1 transfer rate. Transfers are usually instaneous. You can earn a big boost of Membership Rewards points via the sign-up bonus on American Express Preferred Rewards Gold (free for a year) or The Platinum Card.

Virgin Red lets you redeem for concerts very far in advance. This is the current list.

Don’t forget Privilege Club Collection

For the ultimate experience at The O2, you will want to redeem Avios via Qatar Airways Privilege Club.

Qatar Airways is the core sponsor of The NinetyThird, the VIP club at The O2 (membership is £18,000 per year, image of The Walkway above) and auctions two tickets for almost all shows.

Importantly, each pair of tickets comes with a £400 tab to spend in the fine dining restaurant and the many bars in The NinetyThird.

With only one pair of tickets per show and the auction only closing four weeks in advance, you are taking a gamble if you hold off redeeming for the Virgin Red or Marriott Bonvoy suites when those tickets appear.

You can learn more about Privilege Club Collection here.
