Flower crown season has fallen by the wayside but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the music festival experience. This fall, music festivals are popping up in cities across the country, offering a return to in-person concerts from a safe distance.

Hilton is offering fans of all things IRL an opportunity to convert their Hilton Honors Points into event credits on Ticketmaster.com and LiveNation.com for the first time ever. This unique program allows users to connect their Ticket Master accounts to their Hilton Honors accounts and combine what they rack up with cold hard cash to gain access to the moments they’ve been dreaming about. That means you can turn that next week long work trip or afternoon staycation into an afternoon or weekend of dancing your cares away. The hotel giant is also launching the Hilton Honors Experiences Platform, a members-only marketplace that provides exclusive access to VIP festival packages around the world.
