Following the popularity of the American Express Lounge and onsite benefits at The O2*, and as part of its global venue partnership strategy, American Express is officially unveiling a range of unique experiences and benefits at OVO Arena Wembley. Coinciding with Loyle Carner’s hotly-anticipated headline show on March 16, the American Express Lounge will open at the iconic London venue along with the launch of additional onsite benefits for American Express® Card Members, including two new premium seating options within the heart of the arena.*
Visible from the main concourse, the Amex Lounge, will offer Card Members and their guests* a unique space to mingle before the main event. With an impressive light installation for a perfect selfie moment, plus classic Hollywood mirrors and high stools throughout, the new space serving complimentary signature Pink Gin Spritz and Passion Fruit non-alcoholic Mojito cocktails on arrival* has been designed to make visitors feel like they’re backstage.
Other onsite benefits for Amex Card Members attending events at the OVO Arena Wembley include:
- Two options of seat packages in the arena offering some of the best seats in the house:
- The American Express Terrace Suite: A section of 8 luxury seats with tables offering premium food and drink service, inspired by the favourite backstage meals of artists who’ve performed at Wembley.* Moreover, a dedicated staff member will be on point to take orders and deliver all night
- The American Express Club Seats: 3 sections of 10 luxury seats (in sections N8, N10 and N12) to the side of the stage*
- 10% off food and beverages when using any Amex Card to pay for purchases at in-arena concessions*
To celebrate the unveiling, and to give all Loyle Carner fans the opportunity to sample the benefits of membership, American Express will be bringing its pop-up ‘More Machine’ to the venue for the night. Participants who correctly answer questions will have the chance to win access to the Amex Lounge for themselves and up to three guests before the show; additional prizes of complimentary merchandise and tickets to future events will also be on offer.*
“As part of our commitment to help our Card Members and their guests make lasting memories, we’re delighted to officially unveil our partnership with OVO Arena Wembley, offering great experiences from the moment they arrive at this iconic venue. Our global venue strategy is going from strength to strength, and we will continue to expand to other cities throughout the year.” said Aaron Burke, Vice President of American Express Brand Partnerships and Experiences.
