Dinner in the Sky of Athens
Anyone on here going to the Dinner in the Sky in Athens at the end of May? It's my first SPG Moments experience, and I couldn't believe how low the packages went considering it's two nights at the Grand Bretagne included!

Any thoughts if they will add more MSG suite events soon? Would love to grab a GNR show in October.

First time I can recall seeing Marriott hotels listed as part of the package on SPG moments. This is a historic day and could bode well for variety in redemptions going forward.

MLB waste
25,000 *wood points for $75 seats to White Sox-Yankees game seems a big waste of points. We did the Cubs suite two years back for 12,500! Really gone to the dogs...

I have done it twice, the first time was amazing because you are in awe of playing inside Wrigley. You are guaranteed like 2 games but they are only like 20 minutes. If you can win the tournament you will get your points. We won it the 2nd year we played in it. You get a under armour type shirt depending on the Hotel brand you are "Team Westin, Team Aloft, etc" It also comes with free water, soda, beer and "Chicago" type food like italian beef and chicago dogs and u also get a tour of the stadium. The entire game is played in the outfield on opposite ends of the foul poles, you can't even get in the infield.

Just noticed "Cook alongside Eric Ripert at Cayman Cookout + 4 Nights at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman" Sold for 25,000, this has to be an error right? It had to be an auction and I bet they screwed it up.

SPG US Open Moments problem (again)
A couple of years ago during the US Open SPG moments ending of many auctions on their website their servers crashed. Caused all sorts of problems with myself and others that could not put a bid in the last 2 hours. They apologized and claimed to have rectifyied the situation.
Now this morning and even late yesterday just in time for the US Open auction to be live they experienced another problem. And once again I suffered the consequences. It seems like on Chrome the formatting was so messed up i could not even see the available listings. Internet Explorer would not even allow it to be viewed. By the time their IT Department resolved the issue mid-morning some of the most desirable listings were long gone.
Cmon SPG/Marriott , you can do better!!!!
