You’re in luck if you’re considering purchasing tickets to sporting events, concerts or theater performances. American Airlines has introduced yet another way for AAdvantage<\/a> members to earn miles and Loyalty Points<\/a>.<\/p>\n You can buy U.S. and Canadian Ticketmaster tickets with AAdvantage Events<\/a> to earn 1 AAdvantage mile and 1 Loyalty Point toward status per dollar spent.<\/p>\n Here’s a closer look at how you can use AAdvantage Events to book ticketed events while earning miles and Loyalty Points.<\/p>\n The new AAdvantage Events site functions like an online shopping portal for Ticketmaster purchases. However, instead of using AAdvantage eShopping, you’d navigate directly to the AAdvantage Events page.<\/p>\n From there, you can search for your desired event or simply explore all events in a given city.<\/p>\n When we looked at “Hamilton” tickets in New York City, we found the tickets cost the same whether you book through AAdvantage Events or directly on Ticketmaster’s website.<\/p>\n 1 of 2<\/p>\n AADVANTAGEEVENTS.COM<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The difference, however, is that if you book your tickets with AAdvantage Events, you’ll earn 1 AAdvantage mile and Loyalty Point per base dollar spent on your tickets. For this order of two “Hamilton” tickets, you’d earn 298 miles, worth around $5 at TPG’s valuations<\/a>. While that’s a nominal return, it’s an added bonus.<\/p>\n Alternatively, you can earn American Express Membership Rewards<\/a> points by initiating your Ticketmaster purchase through Rakuten<\/a>.<\/p>\nEarn AA miles on Ticketmaster purchases<\/h2>\n
