All Star Miles

United is auctioning a package to NYC to see the 2008 All-Star game in Yankee Stadium's final season. The package includes tickets to all the events, hotel accomodations, after party passes and First Class accomodations on United. The bidding is currently at an astronomical 701,000 miles. The kicker is the winner will be sitting in the Upper Deck for the All-Star game. I doubt the same lax attitude about seat hoppers will be present during the All-Star weeeknd. So, there you go, for nearly a 1,000,000 miles you get to barely see the All-Star game.
