TICKETS 🎫🎟

Does the subreddit allow ticket trade/buy/sell posts? Yes. Please limit requests to the TICKETS BUY / SELL / TRADE U2:UV Achtung Baby at Sphere MEGA THREAD

What are ticketing options and vendors?

• VIP & Hotel packages via Vibee - Sent out approximately 3 weeks before your show.
• NOTE: Ticketmaster and u2.com subscriber presales have now ended.
• General onsale via Ticketmaster — it didn't take place in spring "Due to extremely high demand", but is now open to the public

How much are tickets?
Ticket prices are tiered and start at $140 and will reflect all-in pricing. GA on the floor is $270. Tickets top out at $600. The larger capacity at Sphere allows for 60% of tickets to be priced under $300 and there will also be a limited number of premium priced tickets per show (sold at a higher price, about $1500).

Are there (RED) Zones?
Yes. 50 tickets to experience the show from an exclusive VIP riser in one (RED) Zone will be made available for purchase benefitting Bono's (RED) organization.

Is a seating plan available for the venue?
Yes, see this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/U2Band/comments/12xidql/_/

Thanks to u/WideAwakeNotSleeping

Can tickets be resold?
GA floor tickets will be restricted from transfer and may only be resold at the original purchase price. Reselling other tickets may become possible via Ticketmaster but it seems the option will open up closer up to the respective show dates.

What is Ticketmasters Verified Fan system?
Verified Fan will be used to ensure more tickets get into the hands of fans who want to go to the show, not buyers looking to resell them.

According to Ticketmaster.com:

A random selection of registered fans receives a unique code that allows them to enter the presale and purchase tickets before the general public. Ticketmaster Verified Fan doesn’t guarantee everyone tickets, but the unique codes allow more fans who intend to go to the show to get tickets — not ticket bots.
