Here's your chance.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Bid_Hilton_Points_To_Play_Football_With_Travis_Kelce\">Bid Hilton Points To Play Football With Travis Kelce<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On <strong>May 18, 2024<\/strong>, Travis Kelce \u2014 the NFL superstar tight end \u2014 will host the second annual Kelce Jam in Kansas City, Missouri. For the unaware, Kelce Jam isn't a football event but a music festival. Alongside an appearance by Travis Kelce, attendees can watch performances by Lil Wayne, Diplo, 2Chainz, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of purchasing tickets to the event with cash, Hilton Honors members can bid points for packages.

Thus, Hilton Experiences will typically provide poor value for your points unless cent-per-point value isn't important to you. For one-of-a-kind experiences, it might be easier to ignore what your points are worth.<\/p>\n<p>On average, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/point-mile-values\/hilton\" rel=\"noopener\">AwardWallet members redeem Hilton points for 0.61\u00a2 apiece<\/a>. According to the calculator, the 75,000-point general entry tickets command nearly $435 worth of Hilton points. Once tickets to Kelce Jam go live, you can <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/kelcejam.com\/tickets\/#VIP\" rel=\"noopener\">purchase an individual ticket for $89.99 plus tax<\/a>. In other words, two general entry tickets yield roughly 0.23\u00a2 per point. Not good.<\/p>\n<p>Higher-value packages require you to bid. And the higher the bidding goes, the less your points are worth. Ultimately, unless you want your Hilton Honors points to go as far as possible, it's a good idea to steer clear of Hilton Honors Experiences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/hotels\/hilton-honors\/do-hilton-points-expire\/\" rel=\"noopener\">When Do Hilton Honors Points Expire?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Final_Thoughts\">Final Thoughts<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For football and music festival fans with a boatload of Hilton Honors points, Hilton Honors Experiences has three packages for you. Starting today, you can bid on or purchase one of three packages to Kelce Jam. And, if you're lucky, you'll win the bid to toss a football with the tight end himself. If you need a lot of points because you really want to win, you'll be happy to know that you can <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/hotels\/hilton-honors\/pool-hilton-points\/\" rel=\"noopener\">pool Hilton points with others<\/a>.
