What I love most about points isn't just that they allow us to travel to places and in ways we might not otherwise be able to afford, but also that they often allow us to have access to experiences we wouldn't otherwise have access to. I’ve written in the past about SPG Moments, which allows…

I'll be in London over the last weekend of April. So no Adele, but Ryan Lewis and Macklemore will be at O2. (Points required are less than Adele). Traveling alone but still seriously considering getting tickets.

Anyone want to join me?

Lucky, is this where we post to win the lottery for one of the free Adele tickets you're giving away?

Two posts about SPG Moments in one day? I heard that the SPG Amex is going to be pushed heavily by bloggers in the coming two weeks... is this a confirmation?

Was able to snag tickets very easily when they went on sale a few weeks ago for $75 each.

So I'll keep my SPG points. 😉 Looking forward to the show for sure!

@Brent - I'd point out there isn't a single reference to the AMEX in either of today's posts. Sometimes we're just really enthusiastic about the opportunities our points provide! Hope you're having a great day.

We were already planning on being in London (BA Avios sale!), and I just tried to get 2 tickets at the 15k level, looks unavailable. I did see the SPG Suites were still available for back to back nights. We already have several tickets for her commitment in Austin.

My be it is just me. A concert to me is to go out have fun along with other people. More crowd is more fun for me.

We were able to grab tickets the night of the fifth. Getting tickets is great, seeing your wife light up with the news is priceless. Was going to be in London on the 6th, had a brief panic attempting to change a sAAver reward ticket, but now all good to go. Thanks for the tip Mike!!

Thanks @Mike and @lucky for the tip. I was able to secure 2 packages for the March 15th date. Adele at O2!!! Never thought we would get so "lucky". Just so happened that we were already booked for London that week. Maybe we'll get to meet you, Ben, if you're going on the same date.

First "crisps" and now "queuing"? Lucky, you're from Florida. Get it together.

I think you should do a competition for the other set of tickets so people can meet you.

Unfortunately can't make those dates in London, will have to keep checking to see if SPG releases any US dates. My wife would love this.

I really wanted to do this, but I don't understand why they have to sell them in pairs. We aren't all "coupled" and I don't have any friends crazy enough to fly to London for a concert. Damn it.

I wish Hilton would get its act together on this front.
