It’s a pretty sweet deal if you’ve purchased cheap tickets, and are looking for a free upgrade.īest of all? Cardholders can bring up to three guests, which means you and your best buds can be obnoxious ‘lounge people’ together. In practice however, capacity is limited, spots fill up quickly, and there’s actually not enough seating in the lounge to accommodate everyone who gets in.įor the quick ones who do make it in though, you’ll find a full-service bar, along with a special menu of “premium” food selections, and an array of high-top, bar and lounger seats with views from the B level Suite section of the Arena. In theory, this means that you could buy the cheapest ticket possible for the event, then enjoy it from the comfort of your exclusive lounge. The Centurion Suite (by American Express) is a suite at the Arena in LA open to Amex Platinum or Centurion members with a valid ticket for that evening’s game. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, or perhaps got lost while stalking my usual posts about Europe travel, I’ll give you a quick summary. Save on Pinterest The Centurion Suite at Arena: A Brief Overview So, in this post, allow me to share some insights on the Centurion Suite experience at Arena… well, as much as I can remember anyway. Well, I’m happy to report that on my recent trip to LA (in April 2022), I got to take advantage of this perk twice, and have some tips to offer about getting in, maximizing your time and making the most of the experience. Also, I would be gifted some hot dogs for my time. So when I planned a trip to LA with my sports-obsessed partner, we struck a compromise – fine we’d go to two sports games, but I would get to be obnoxious about the lounge access. In addition to a selection of airport lounges around the world, the Amex Platinum also entitles you to special lounges at select sporting venues, including LA’s world-famous Arena (formerly known, and forever known in all our hearts, as the Staples Center). One such perk I’ve been eyeing for years happens to be one of the least known. And when I get to use my additional perks? Oh baby. 3x points on food? I’ll take ten courses. Seriously, the thought of a good points bonus has me practically foaming at the mouth. Because one of my chief hobbies is making fun of myself, I can fully admit to you all today that in recent years, I’ve become that insufferable friend whose whole entire personality is that they collect points.
