Emirates
We have talked about this several times, points can also be used for activities other than being redeemed for award tickets to fly around the world. One such possibility is to go to the stadium to watch the games of many soccer teams.

Effectively I had not covered the topic on the occasion at the restart of the football season, to remind me of the benefit however, a reader of our site who wrote to me today to ask my opinion.
Emirates-sponsored teams
In the sponsorship agreement that Emirates signs with the clubs it finances there is precisely the possibility for fans and supporters to Turning Emirates Skywards points into match tickets. There are different types of tickets for each match: "standard", with hospitality and VIP packages. Of course, the price varies depending on the type and the match.

The soccer teams that are part of the Emirates team are: Milan, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Benfica and Lyon. Currently there is the possibility of booking tickets for the home matches of all these teams except Arsenal.
Milan's matches
Going into the availability of Milan's home matches, one is spoiled for choice:

- AC Milan vs Napoli 18 Set Milan, Ticket Only 15,000 Miles

- AC Milan vs Monza 23 Oct ★ VIP EXPERIENCE 1 MONTH, 40,000 Miles
For the match between Milan and Juventus, scheduled for next October 23, there is currently one ★ VIP EXPERIENCE on auction, but in the coming weeks 4 more pairs of tickets will be put on sale, also with Hospitality.
For the Nov. 6 match between Milan and Spezia, single tickets will cost only 10 thousand Emirates points or 40 thousand for the ★ VIP EXPERIENCE. Same price for the following week's match against Fiorentina.
Does it make sense to use Emirates points for tickets?
If you have few points in your pocket and perhaps expiring, this is an option not to be overlooked. With two economy tickets to Dubai you can accumulate about 6/7 thousand Skywards points, so almost enough for a ticket to a second-tier match at San Siro. However, do not forget that they can also be used in combination with a weekend in London, Madrid or Portugal. Also in this case just go to the Emirates Experience page and browse the available events.
For example, there are tickets for Formula One Grand Prix, golf and other events are entered weekly.
In conclusion
If you have few points or want to have a real experience with otherwise unobtainable tickets, this is an interesting solution. Our reader, for example, secured Milan's Scudetto party game at San Siro last May, tickets that were unobtainable or at impossible prices, booked thanks to a handful of Skywards points. Also, one should not forget that if one does not have enough points in one's pocket. it is always possible to buy them.
