This looks insane. So much so that I am actually tempted to pay money to see U2 there.

Looks really cool in short clips but I'm not sure I would want to be in there for 2+ hours.

1. Setup shrooms shop within walking distance of the sphere.

2. Sell like crazy.

3. Retire.

seems like you're paying to listen to U2 while watching a giant screen saver

Very impressive. I'd love to go to that show.

From the outside though, it looks gaudy as hell. So, maybe it fits right in in Vegas.

Cant imagine being up close. But like everything in Vegas, it has to be great and expensive.

They are like the STD's of any major technological event. I'll never forget when they gave away their album for free with Apples first unveiling of Apple Music

Just give me Dark Side of the Moon and the audio system, would beat any headphone listening experience.

Tool would also be good fit for this venue

U2 with their backing tape and Bono dead voice

Prob should just play videos like the Pink Floyd light show

Looking at the prices for U2, I won't be visiting this place any time soon.

It's like going to Jerryworld & spending the whole game staring at the giant screen.

U2 doesn't need to be there... they could be animatronic & the place would still sell out.

Based on those clips, you are paying for a soundtrack to shoot cell phones videos of...giant videos.

So in line with most Vegas shows and a decent concert ticket. Can't wait to go next time we are in Vegas. They are going to have other shows there too besides concerts, think Super IMAX movies.

If Daft Punk ever reunites and played a show there, I'd be willing to spend way too much money for it.

Looking at the Sphere site and Ticketmaster, seeing cheapest at $500 for the U2 show. They have a "Sphere Experience" show which is more inline with what your friend paid.

Looks like the prices vary depending on demand. These expensive shows are coming up soon.

Once the reviews started coming in, prices went up.

It's the most spectacular piece of modern entertainment architecture I've ever seen. Seriously. Call it gawdy, make whatever crack about Vegas you want, but the Sphere is unrivaled by anything else on earth right now for what it is. It's a case where the venue would probably outshine whatever artist was on stage. I can see where that would be too distracting for some people, but it's ****ing amazing on its own.

I can't wait to check this out when we are in Vegas next.



I can only imagine what other concerts are going to end up playing it. I wonder if they will develop a Cirque de Soleil show for it at some point?

In the video they say they are already planning one for London and then additional ones around the world.
