You can bid Marriott Bonvoy points for a two-person experience at the 2027 Australian Open men’s final in Melbourne, with pre-match dinner and hospitality-lounge access included.
The final is on 31 January 2027, and Marriott’s listings show the auctions closing on 13 November 2026. I’d take a look if you’re a tennis fan with a substantial Bonvoy balance—but set your points limit before getting drawn into the bidding.
What’s included?
The advertised men’s-final experience is for two people and includes:
- Tickets to the men’s final.
- A pre-match dinner.
- A meet-and-greet with tennis legends.
- Hospitality-lounge access.
Marriott listed five packages for this experience. These are separate auctions, not a fixed-price redemption or a prize draw. The points needed can rise as other members bid.
You can view the men’s-final packages on Marriott Bonvoy Moments. Individual auctions close at different times, so check the exact deadline and live countdown on the package you want rather than relying on the date alone.
What I’d check before bidding
I’d work out the cost of the whole Melbourne trip first. The advertised inclusions don’t list flights or accommodation, so don’t assume you’re bidding for a complete holiday.
Read the individual lot’s eligibility, guest, transfer and cancellation conditions before placing a bid. Don’t assume you can change the names, resell the tickets or get your points back if your plans change.

My take
This is a chance to use points for something more memorable than another hotel night, especially if seeing a Grand Slam final is already on your list. But it’s a niche redemption, not an automatic bargain.
I’d decide how many points the experience is worth to me, keep flights and hotels in the budget, and be prepared to walk away if the bidding goes beyond that limit.
