Citi Private Pass Music Benefits and Tickets
Citi has a great entertainment access program for its cardholders called Private Pass. Through partnerships with entertainment brands and artists, Citi is able to secure tickets and special benefits to some great shows and offer its cardholders premium VIP tickets to concerts and events. Cardholders also occasionally receive the opportunity to purchase some of these tickets before they go on sale to the general public.
Currently, Citi’s partnerships for ticket access to concerts include:
- Live Nation
- Gen Art
- Madonna
- The Police
- Stevie Wonder
- Counting Crows
If you have a Citi card, you can get tickets before they are on sale for most people and preferred seating packages to shows by the artists listed above. You usually purchase these tickets on Ticketmaster (with your Citi card) and just have to put in the first 6 digits of your credit card number to receive access.
In addition to these great music experiences and tickets, Citi’s Private Pass program also offers access to:
- Dining experiences
- Retail experiences
- Golf tee times (very limited)
- Upscale Night clubs in select cities
You can see a full list of what’s available on the Citi Private Pass website. While Citi’s offers are not quite comparable to the smorgasbord of offers that American Express gives you, Citi is definitely catching up, especially in music.
If you’d like access to these tickets and experiences but don’t have a Citi card, I recommend the Citi Platinum American Express Card. This card will give you access to Private Pass offers AND some of the American Express presale and VIP ticket offers. That’s hard to beat.
If you’ve ever taken advantage of any tickets via Private Pass, I’d love to hear what your experience was like. Hope you enjoyed this review, and have a good night.

As a Citi card holder, a few weeks ago I received a notice about a Private Pass promotion. It involved two complimentary passes to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum opening in NYC on Nov. 24th. I waited on the phone for close to half an hour but was pleasantly “rewarded” in that I was told that I would be receiving 2 passes. I think they said that the passes would be Federal Expressed. As of this writing, I have not received the passes in the mail and was wondering when (or if) I would be receiving them. Thank you.
Rosalie - I don’t have any official affiliation with any of the credit card companies..so unfortunately can’t help you out on this request. I’d suggest contacting the people at Citi to sort this out.
