Unlike most things in Las Vegas, a show at the MSG Sphere is no gamble.
Especially when Rock and Roll Hall of Famers U2 take the stage.
On Jan. 25-26, the legendary Irish rockers will return to the now iconic venue to resume their ‘UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere’ residency with two back-to-back concerts.
And while Bono and the band typically command full attention from audiences at live shows, the spectacular visuals at the Sphere are tough competition for the 22-time Grammy winners.
“It’s a fistfight between the band and the immersive screen,” U2 guitarist The Edge told Wired. “We kind of win most nights, but it’s almost an even fight.”
Truth be told, the real winners are those in the stands — and if you’re willing to shell out for tickets, that could be you.
While seats are pricey for the Jan. 25-26 gigs — at the time of publication, they start at a whopping $737 before fees on Vivid Seats — other nights have seats going for a much more reasonable $354 before fees.
Curious how much tickets cost for the concert of your choosing?
We’re here to help “if you still haven’t found what you’re looking for.”

U2 band members
The genre-bending legends have largely been a steady four-man unit since the group’s inception in 1976.
However, drummer Larry Mullen Jr. will sit out the Las Vegas residency to recuperate from surgery according to U2’s website.
As a result, the lineup for all shows will include Bono on lead vocals, The Edge on guitar and Adam Clayton manning bass.
The trio will be joined by keyboardist Terry Lawless and replacement drummer Bram van den Berg.
Prior to playing with U2, van den Berg performed with Dutch pop-rock group Krezip.
