How to use your Hilton Honors points to meet Travis Kelce — or at least go to his music festival
Points and miles can get you more than just a business-class seat or an upgraded room at a swanky resort — they can also help you score once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. You can use them to live out your "Fast & Furious" fantasies or snag seats at concerts with hard-to-get tickets. We saw this with Marriott Bonvoy's promotion for Taylor Swift's "The Eras Tour."
Now, Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, is getting in on the action with Hilton.
Hilton Honors Experiences — a program where members can bid on or redeem points for unique experiences ranging from special dinners to VIP tickets to sporting events or concerts — is offering tickets to Travis Kelce's Kelce Jam. The festival takes place May 18 in Kansas City. (In case you somehow missed it, he plays for the Kansas City Chiefs and helped bring the Vince Lombardi Trophy home to the city this year.)
But that's not all: You can also bid on the chance to meet Kelce in person — and even challenge him in a football toss.
At Kelce Jam, guests will enjoy live performances by Lil Wayne, Diplo, 2 Chainz, Irie and E-V at the Azura Amphitheater. Plus, they can enjoy tons of Kansas City's best barbecue. To those expecting a Swift sighting at the event, though, know that she'll be in Sweden performing the European leg of "The Eras Tour."
For Hilton Honors members with points to burn, the following packages are now open for bidding:
- The Ultimate Kelce Jam Experience with Travis Kelce: This is an exclusive opportunity to join NFL superstar Travis Kelce at his second annual Kelce Jam music festival. You and your guest will have the exclusive opportunity to meet Travis Kelce and compete head-to-head against the three-time Super Bowl champion in a football toss. Plus, you can get signed Travis Kelce memorabilia and exclusive Kelce Jam merch. Bidding starts at 200,000 Hilton Honors Points and concludes on April 25, 2024.
- VIP Access to Kelce Jam Music Festival: You and your guest will have the opportunity to celebrate alongside Kelce with VIP tickets to Kelce Jam music festival and experience performances from award-winning artists. Bidding starts at 125,000 Hilton Honors Points and concludes on April 26, 2024.
- General Access to Kelce Jam Music Festival: Use your points for general access to Kelce Jam Music Festival, featuring top headliners that ensure an unforgettable event. Bidding starts at 75,000 Hilton Honors Points and concludes on April 27, 2024.
If you'd rather not use your hard-earned points for the experience, you can learn more about Kelce Jam and how to purchase tickets at the official website. Just make sure to read up on the best credit cards for concert tickets and VIP access to make sure you're maximizing your purchase.
