After a brutal winter, there’s no better place to thaw out than in the California sun, particularly in the Coachella Valley, home to the Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals. The latter festival, affectionately dubbed the Coachella of country music, takes place on the last weekend in April, from April 25 through 27, at the Empire Polo Fields in Indio, California.
As country music continues to creep into the mainstream, with pop artists like Beyoncé and Lana Del Rey dipping their toes into the country waters, Stagecoach is a must-have ticket. Unfortunately, general admission passes are sold out for 2025—but that’s where Marriott Bonvoy Moments’ 1-Point Drop is here to help.
Keep reading for everything you need to know about Marriott Bonvoy’s offer and exactly how you and a guest can secure a VIP tickets to Stagecoach 2025.
Back up—what is the Marriott Bonvoy program?
Marriott Bonvoy is a loyalty to program in which members accrue points that they can use toward a number of perks, like a free night at a Marriott Hotel, discounted rates, free Wi-Fi, and exclusive offers. It’s free to join, and you can do so here.
What are Marriott Bonvoy Moments?
Marriott Bonvoy Moments are experiences—like, ahem, a VIP hookup at Stagecoach—that members can purchase using just their points. Moments may also be auctioned off, meaning the more points you’ve accrued as a Bonvoy member, the higher the likelihood you’ll be able to outbid another member for the covetable experience.
This brings us to Marriott Bonvoy Moments’ 1-Point Drops. These “drops” take place for a short window of time while supplies last. During that window, members can secure—without bidding—a Marriott Bonvoy Moment for the cost of just 1 point.
The next 1-Point Drop will take place later this month, on March 19 at 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT, when Marriott will release 19 VIP packages for Stagecoach—which include a plus-one—that can be purchased with just a single point.
Two additional VIP packages will be auctioned off, in case you’re not one of the lucky 1-Point Drop winners.
What’s included in the VIP package?
All 21 VIP packages on offer include Corral Standing Pit Passes, “which grant you access to the standing-room-only pit area in front of the T-Mobile Mane Stage, and access to multiple Saloons,” per the Marriott Bonvoy Moments website.
How do I earn Marriott Bonvoy points?
Earning points is easy and doesn’t require you to book a room at a Marriott hotel (though, of course, that’s one way to earn them).
You can link your Bonvoy and Uber accounts to earn points on Uber rides or Uber Eats purchases, dine out at participating Eat Around Town restaurants, or open a Marriott Bonvoy credit card.
Who’s on the Stagecoach lineup?
Zach Bryan, Jelly Roll, and Luke Combs are headlining this year’s festival, which kicks off on April 25 at the Empire Polo Fields in Indio. To see the full lineup, visit the Stagecoach website.
