The 50 Best College Towns in America – Travel Pulse
I always find college towns to be great travel destinations. Food and drinks are usually cheap, there is a lot of art / museums / history in the towns and hotels are usually affordable too.

Pretty crazy but something most recreational traders don’t realize is even a thing.
Hilton Points Can Now Be Redeemed For Ticketmaster & Livenation Tickets – Doctor of Credit
Updated after David’s comment. It appears the example in the DoC article is for the experiences and Ticketmaster is only $0.002 per point which is not good unless you have a ton of unused points and no plans to travel. Could turn your points into profitable ticket flips I guess.

Your take on tickemaster is not correct. You can use points on ticketmaster for 0.2 cents per point – a horrible redemption. There are a very small number of Hilton experiences they’re selling as a package at a better rate but that’s not “using points at Tickemaster” which remains at that very bad rate. This is no different that what we’d seen in the past.
david is correct, but I would say ANY value redemption on ticketmaster is horrible.
Good to know David – I’ll update. The examples in the DoC article must be for the experiences then and not Ticketmaster.
