.U2 have announced the opening dates for their massive 'Achtung Baby Live' shows in Las Vegas. The Edge takes us inside the band’s plans for the multi-billion dollar Sphere.
September 29, with additional shows taking place September 30, October 5, October 7, and October 8.
All-in ticket prices start at $140, and 60 percent of the seats will be under $300. Subscribers to U2.com will have the first crack at tickets via Ticketmaster Request on Wednesday, April 26, and the general on-sale – presuming any seats remain – will take place Friday April 28 using the Verified Fan system. General admission floor seats will be non-transferable for any amount of money over face value.
. “We’re also spreading out the ticket costs so that there are some affordable ones. The most sought after tickets will be non-transferable. Inevitably, some will wind up on the secondary market. There’s not a huge lot we can do about that.” Even for a band used to spectacle, opening night should be a watershed moment. Sphere, which sits on the Strip near the Venetian resort, has been under construction for the past five years, with construction costs. Billing itself as the “world’s largest spherical stricture,” Sphere is 516 feet wide, 366 feet tall, and can seat 17,600 people.
U2 first heard about Sphere a little over two years ago. “We’re always on the lookout for emerging technologies in the world of concerts and audio,” says The Edge. “We heard about it, and then started asking members of our team about it. We found out that approaches had already been made in a very tentative way for us to be a part of a possible launch.”experience since Zoo TV and PopMart in the Nineties, and more recently with their U2 360° Tour and Songs of Innocence/Experience tours.
