It may be hard to believe, but we’re less than a month away from the kickoff of college football season.

For the fourth year in a row, Choice Privileges is offering members the chance to bid on VIP college football experiences at marquee games around the country through its College Sports Gameday Experiences program.

Let’s get into the details!

Bid Choice Points for VIP College Football Experiences

It’d be an understatement to say college football is a big deal in the U.S. Dedicated fans will stop at nothing to support their favorite team, whether at home or on the road.

Choice Hotels says that last year, members bid over 6 million points for the packages offered through College Sports Gameday Experiences. As a result, it’s back for a fourth year, providing access to 15 teams, headlined by blue-blood programs like Ohio State University (last year’s national champion), the University of Alabama, the University of Michigan, and a newcomer for this season: the University of South Carolina.

A total of 40 Silver- and Platinum-level packages will be available through Choice Privileges for 2025, though just 4 matchups are accepting bids today:

• Texas at Ohio State on August 30
• Cal Berkeley at Oregon State on August 30
• Michigan at Oklahoma on September 6
• UCLA at UNLV on September 6

Silver packages include the following:

• 2 pregame hospitality passes
• 2 escorted sideline passes
• 2 game tickets
• $50 team store gift card

Platinum packages, on the other hand, offer:

• 2 pregame hospitality passes
• 2 pregame sideline passes
• 2 game tickets
• 1 parking pass
• $100 team store gift card
• $1,500 total in travel gift cards ($750 per person)

Additionally, those who successfully bid on Platinum-level packages for 5 specific matchups will receive a complimentary 2-night stay at a Choice hotel near the stadium:
