Michigan. Ohio State. The Game.

Every year, on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, the University of Michigan and The Ohio State University face off on the gridiron. The Game typically has large implications for both teams, and the atmosphere is regularly one of the most intense and memorable in all of sports.

This year’s edition of the greatest rivalry in sports is rapidly approaching. The defending national champions, the Michigan Wolverines (Go Blue!), are on their back foot this year, and Ohio State Buckeye fans are salivating at the prospect of finally beating their archrivals after 3 straight losses. But, anything can happen in a game like this one.

Needless to say, a ticket to The Game is one of the hottest in sports. If you’re a fan of either team or just of college football itself, Hilton Honors Experiences is offering something that you’ll want to pay attention to: the chance to bid for a not-for-sale exclusive experience at this year’s game in Columbus, Ohio.

Let’s take a look at everything you need to know.

The Ultimate College Football Weekend in Columbus, Ohio

From now through November 15, 2024, Hilton Honors Experiences and Graduate Hotels (a new member of the Hilton family of brands) will offer members the opportunity to bid Hilton Honors points for a unique, not-available-with-cash experience hosted at the Graduate by Hilton Columbus from November 29 to December 1, 2024:

  • A meet-and-greet with a “surprise guest” from FOX Sports on Friday, November 29
  • A 2-night stay at the Graduate by Hilton Columbus from November 29 to December 1
  • Tickets for 2 to The Game (Michigan vs. Ohio State) on Saturday, November 30, 2024
  • A $250 gift card to buy gear from HOMAGE

Graduate by Hilton is a collection of 30+ properties located in college towns across the U.S. and the U.K. Each property is uniquely designed to honor the college or university in the local area.

Graduate by Hilton Columbus is located in the Short North Arts District, just a short drive from The Ohio State University’s campus.

You can place your bids for The Ultimate College Football Weekend in Columbus, Ohio. At the time of writing, the current bid is 262,500 Hilton Honors points.

According to our valuations, those are worth approximately $1,312, which is not a bad deal, especially considering the Graduate by Hilton Columbus is going for about $640 per night the weekend of The Game.

Final Thoughts

Hilton Honors Experiences and Graduate by Hilton are offering a cool opportunity to attend this year’s edition of The Game in Columbus, Ohio.

The game is already sold out, and the unique experiences offered in this package aren’t available for purchase. If you’re a college football fan or affiliated with either of these teams and have Hilton Honors points to burn, this could be a great way to do so for an experience you won’t soon forget. Oh, one last thing: Go Blue!
