The lowest package available currently is at 120,000 Starpoints. At a 2 cent per point valuation, that would mean, right now, that it is valued at $2,400. I think that would be a great value of the points right now considering that 4 nights at The Saint (a Marriott property, by the way) would cost over $1,000 just by itself. Then, you can include 2 domestic tickets into it and that cost could widely vary but could be seen as a $600 value. Now, we are at $1,600 and that does not even include any of the tickets to the events!
Cost for Event Tickets
- The Celebrity game tickets are currently selling for $240 each
- All-Star practice tickets can be purchased for as low as $29 each
- The All-Star Saturday night tickets are currently at $420 each
- The actual NBA All-Star game tickets are selling for a minimum of $585 each.
- Minimum Total Value – $1,853 for two people
When we add all of the minimum costs together, we are looking at a package value of around $3,400. That’s not too bad! If you are an NBA fan, this may be a package you want to bid on!
