Promoters Live Nation and Sphere Entertainment found the U2 ticket sales they were looking for. According to industry reports, more than a million requests flooded Ticketmaster since the Irish band announced its MSG Sphere-opening Las Vegas residency on Monday.
As a result, seven more dates have been added for October 11, 13, 14, 18, and 20. The previously announced dates were September 29 and 20, and October, 6-8.
Fans can register now for the verified fan presale at u2.ticketmaster.com. Fans selected to receive an access code can buy tickets starting on Thursday, April 27. Ticket prices begin at $140 and will reflect all-in pricing, which means the listed price is the full out-of-pocket cost, including taxes and fees.
According to a press release from the band, the Sphere’s large capacity (17,500) will allow for 60% of tickets to sell for under $300.
A U2.com presale is open now through Wednesday at 10 a.m. ET, the general sale (if any tickets remain) will begin on Friday, April 28, at 10 a.m. ET via Ticketmaster.
