Corporate Hospitality without the Corporate

Money-can't-buy-experiences to share with those you want to be with

Monday, June 01, 2026 | 5 MINS

As a business leader, you've probably been invited to plenty of corporate hospitality in your time. But here's something that might surprise you: by some estimates, around 43% of corporate-owned event tickets never get used. 

Yes, that's right, nearly half of these unforgettable experiences - the best boxes, the biggest fixtures, the moments people dream about - simply go to waste.

So when we discovered we could partner with Connect Experience to open these doors for our community as part of your membership with us, we thought you'd want to hear about it.

How it works

Connect Experience works with hospitality owners around the world, matching the right people to the right seats. As a member, you choose the experiences that excite you. And it's not just any seat; it's the right box, in the right company, alongside people who you want to spend your time with. In some cases, it's the kind of access money simply can't buy.

What you need to know

One thing to know upfront: this isn't an on-demand booking service, and joining doesn't guarantee tickets. Being part of our community grants you access to be nominated for these incredible experiences. The host brand makes the final call on who's the right fit — but we'll be working hard to get as many of our members into as many experiences as possible.

Who will you bring?

And here's the part we love most: you don't have to attend with a client, colleague or business associate. Bring whoever you'd most like to share the occasion with — your partner, a family member; children are welcome at most experiences. 

The choice is entirely yours.  All you have to do is take part, enjoy the hospitality, and share the experience with the people around you.

What's on offer

  • Invitations to premium sports and entertainment hospitality
  • Money-can't-buy access to seats and boxes that would otherwise go unused
  • The freedom to bring a guest of your choice
  • Experiences matched to your interests and availability
  • A relaxed way to meet other senior professionals — no sales pitch, ever
  • Professionally managed experiences, with compliance built in

What to do next

Access is a benefit of subscribing to our community, and we've kept it simple:

1. Subscribe — we'll send you your exclusive access code.
2. Activate — use your code to register with Connect Experience and complete your profile.
3. Tell us what you love — share your interests and availability, and nominate the experiences you'd like to attend.

From there, if suitable hospitality becomes available and you're selected, you'll receive your invitation. And if something outside your selections catches your eye, you can always apply for that too.

Privacy is very important to us

A quick word on privacy: when you subscribe to us for this offer, your details will only be shared with Connect Experience.  All we ask is that you subscribe to our newsletter to hear more about this and these types of initiatives we offer in the future.  

Of course, you can unsubscribe from us at any time, but we hope you'll find enough interest to keep you coming back.
