Las Vegas Sphere tickets: Performances, experiences, and prices

One of the hottest and most talked about entertainment spaces of 2025 in Las Vegas is the Sphere at the Venetian Resort, also known as the Las Vegas Sphere or just the Sphere. Famous for its immersive capabilities, the venue boasts points such as 16K resolution, a wraparound interior LED screen, and 4D physical effects. With its 580,000 square feet of LED displays, it would be hard to miss the gargantuan structure, easily visible from both the ground and sky when visiting the bustling Las Vegas downtown area. Since opening in 2023, the Las Vegas Sphere has been home to various events, ranging from unique experiences to live performances. The first attraction to grace the location was a U2 residency in September of 2023, which featured a 40-performance concert series at the Sphere lasting until March 2, 2024. The remainder of this year sees a variety of events scheduled at the Sphere, set to keep guests of all ages satisfied. Legendary bands like Eagles and the Backstreet Boys, and the combination visual-live performance event Insomniac x Tomorrowland: UNITY, will take the stage for live musical artists this year. In addition to music, guests can come and enjoy visual immersive experiences as well, with the 2025 schedule including Darren Aronofsky's Postcard from Earth, V-U2 An Immersive Concert Film, and The Wizard of Oz at Sphere.

How to buy Las Vegas Sphere tickets Original tickets for events at the Las Vegas Sphere are available for purchase on Ticketmaster. Depending on the event, date, and seating location, ticket availability can vary. As the summer kicks off and people travel to Vegas for vacation, it is expected that certain dates, such as weekends or popular evening times, may have more limited remaining availability. Tickets are also available from verified resale vendors such as StubHub and Vivid Seats for both concerts at the Sphere and its visual experience-based events. Please check the above chart for event-specific links to both StubHub and Vivid Seats. How much are Las Vegas Sphere tickets? Ticket prices for events at the Las Vegas Sphere vary depending on the event itself, the date, as well as the demand for each show. There are two types of event categories at the Sphere: Sphere experiences and Sphere live performances. Experiences, in general, have multiple showings in a day, and thus have more ticket availability, which has some effect on pricing in terms of demand. Live performances are typically more exclusive, as there are limited showings and the events are usually held over a smaller range of dates. Currently, original tickets from Ticketmaster and resale vendor tickets from StubHub and Vivid Seats are very similar in price. However, there may be some fluctuation when looking for last-minute tickets, especially to Sphere experiences (V-U2, The Wizard of Oz, and Postcard From Earth). The least expensive Sphere tickets are for the Insomniac X Tomorrowland: UNITY live experience, which starts at $47 on StubHub and $45 on Vivid Seats. Tickets for the Eagles are priced the most expensive at the Sphere, with the most affordable options starting at $335 on StubHub and $349 on Vivid Seats. These prices are before additional taxes and fees. Who is performing at the Las Vegas Sphere? The Las Vegas Sphere boasts its versatility, able to host both cinematic experiences as well as live music. 2025 has seen a busy schedule so far, and the remainder of the year will be no different. Backstreet Boys currently have 21 shows scheduled at the Sphere from July 11 through August 24 as part of their Into the Millennium concert series. Word on the street is the supergroup will jam out to a setlist of their classic hits, perfect for those visiting Vegas who want to be sure they're going to enjoy a high-energy pop-filled evening. From August 29 to October 18, Insomniac x Tomorrowland: UNITY will take place, with nine shows scheduled as of writing. This event is a mix of both immersive visuals and artwork, all culminating with a performance to finish out the experience from a renowned artist. UNITY calls itself more than a concert, quoted as being a 'transformative journey through music, storytelling, and technology'. So far, the opening weekend performers have been announced, with Chase & Status scheduled for August 29, Kaskade on August 30, and Eli Brown hitting the stage on August 31. The performers for the remaining event dates are scheduled to be announced at a later time. Eagles will take the Sphere stage from September 5 to November 8, with 12 shows remaining for their concert series, Eagles: Live in Concert at Sphere, which originally began on September 20, 2024. At the time of completion, the series will have totalled 44 performances.

‘The Wizard of Oz' is coming to Sphere Las Vegas. Get tickets today

Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. There's no place like home Sin City. Las Vegas Sphere just announced 'The Wizard of Oz at Sphere' is coming to the iconic venue for an extended run starting Aug. 28. The immersive experience will take audience members to dusty sepia-toned Kansas with Dorothy and Toto before heading to the vibrant technicolor Munchkinland, poppy fields and Emerald City at all screenings by employing wraparound 360° visuals, vibrating haptic seats, environmental effects and custom scents that bring the film's original 4:3 aspect ratio to Sphere's 160,000 sq. foot and 16K resolution screen. Advertisement 'Imagine what it would be like to be in a tornado in the Sphere where you've got wind coming at you, you've got scents coming at you, you've got leaves coming at you, your hair is flying all over, you feel as though you are in that tornado with Dorothy, and that's what it's all about,' Sphere President Jennifer Koester told The Hollywood Reporter. 'You're not going to watch a movie, you are going to live a movie. You're going to feel it, to see it, to touch it, to smell it.' This one-of-a-kind spectacle was constructed using the original 1939 film and source material like schematics, set plans and scores to create an approximately 75-minute cinematic experience that maintains the integrity of the classic motion picture while bringing it to life in a wholly new and groundbreaking way. As proof of the scale ahead of 'Oz's' Sphere premiere, the venue unveiled a larger-than-life installation where it appears the massive event space crash-landed on the Wicked Witch of the East. Her 50-foot-long legs and 22-foot-tall ruby slippers are paired with a display on the Exosphere featuring the iconic scene where Dorothy's farmhouse nosedives out of a twister and onto the Wicked Witch as seen in this gobsmacking Instagram Reel. Should you find yourself on the Strip, the legs are on display to the general public outside Sphere at the time of publication. If you can't wait to get somewhere over the rainbow, tickets are available for purchase for all upcoming 'Wizard of Oz at Sphere' screenings on sites like Vivid Seats. Advertisement Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand. They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event. 'The Wizard of Oz at Sphere' schedule Once 'The Wizard of Oz' begins its Sphere stint, you can catch Judy Garland and co. seven days a week for the foreseeable future — although Oz goes dark on select dates. Matinees start at 10 or 11 a.m. depending on the day of the week; afternoon screenings go down at 1, 2 and 5 p.m. Evening showings start at 8 p.m. Advertisement To find the show that makes the most sense for you, a complete 'Wizard of Oz at Sphere' calendar that goes all the way to March 2026 can be found here. Other Las Vegas Sphere shows When Dorothy, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion and Scarecrow aren't skipping down Sphere's Yellow Brick Road, you can catch Academy Award-nominated director Darren Aronofsky's ambitious immersive film 'Postcard From Earth' or U2's 'V-U2' concert film at the jaw-dropping venue on most nights. Both paved the way for 'Wizard of Oz' at Sphere. That's not all, though. These next few weeks, country superstar Kenny Chesney has a handful of shows lined up at Sphere. Advertisement Then, come July, Backstreet Boys kick off a 21-concert run that runs until Aug. 24. After that, UNITY, an exciting collaboration between EDM festival Tomorrowland and producer Insomniac will drop beats at nine shows from August through October. Finally, Rock Hall of Famers The Eagles wrap their long-running residency at Sphere with a dozen shows from September through November. If you're planning a Las Vegas trip and don't know what show makes the most sense for your schedule (or wallet), you can find a complete calendar of all events at Sphere here. 'Wicked' on Broadway East Coasters who want their 'Oz' fix can catch the long-running musical 'Wicked' at the Gershwin Theatre on Broadway. Wondering if a touring version of the show is headed to a theater near you? Check out 'Wicked's' complete schedule here. About the Wicked Witch's legs While the Wicked Witch's gams appear to have magically materialized under Sphere seemingly overnight, quite a bit of work went into them. According to a press release, designers spent 500 hours printing, building and assembling the 690-pound behemoth that has be held down by 8,000 pounds worth of sand bags to hold the installation in place. They were created using 1,000 yards of specialty fabric made of a polyester-Oxford cloth combination. Advertisement Ten people inflated and installed the legs, which took four hours (breakdown takes four hours as well). For scale, the 22-foot ruby red slippers are 29x the size of a woman's size six shoe. You won't find those at Steve Madden. Huge Las Vegas residencies Curious what other shows are going down in the Entertainment Capital of the World these next few months? In that case, here are just five biggies you won't want to miss in the near future.

Eagles Rocker, 68, Struggles With Vegas Sphere's 'Distracting' Visuals

For some concertgoers, attending a show at the Las Vegas Sphere is a dream come true. For others, one word comes to mind: overstimulation. Turns out, some performers feel the same way! Vocalist-guitarist Vince Gill, who's joined the Eagles for their Vegas Sphere residency, opened up about what it's like to perform at the esteemed venue. 'I try to ignore it,' Gill, 68, admitted during an episode of Chris Shiflett's 'Shred With Shifty' podcast, per Ultimate Classic Rock. 'I try not to watch any of the content, because it's pretty distracting. And it makes me get a little bit wobbly. Things are moving and tilting, and it's pretty neat.' 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 The singer, who joined the Eagles in 2017, continued, 'I jokingly tell people it's the most people I've ever been ignored by at a gig. But you know, they're there to see the bells and whistles, and that's the point of it all.' Gill said that while the visuals are no doubt 'unbelievable,' they've certainly thrown him off his game at times. 'I'll find myself, if I start watching it, forgetting to come back in and sing, and this and that, and get distracted,' he revealed. Related: The Eagles Sphere residency kicked off on September 20, 2024, and is set to conclude on November 8, 2025, totaling an impressive 44 shows over 22 weekends. The band performs beloved hits like "Hotel California" and "Take It Easy." The current lineup is Vince Gill, Don Henley, Joe Walks, Timothy B. Schmit, and Deacon Frey. Eagles Rocker, 68, Struggles With Vegas Sphere's 'Distracting' Visuals first appeared on Parade on May 26, 2025

Kenny Chesney delivers vibrant, visually arresting feast at Las Vegas Sphere

Kenny Chesney delivers vibrant, visually arresting feast at Las Vegas Sphere Show Caption Hide Caption Kenny Chesney, June Carter Cash among Country Hall of Fame inductees Kenny Chesney, Tony Brown and June Carter Cash's family speak after they are named the 2025 Country Music Hall of Fame inductees. LAS VEGAS – About a third through the second night of Kenny Chesney's groundbreaking residency at the Sphere, the gregarious country superstar dipped into his 2004 hit 'I Go Back.' It's a song steeped in nostalgia, with lyrics that reminisce about wistful moments. High school gyms. Hearing John Mellencamp on the radio. A friend gone too soon. The accompanying video – well, better classified as all-encompassing graphics that sucked you into the visual vortex – of football fields and basketball courts pulled at the hearts of 17,000 people as Chesney sang of days gone by with his typical earnestness. But for all its nodding to the past, the song represented a milestone in Chesney's awards-laden, 30-plus-year career as he performed it May 24. As he looked around in awe of the crowd and the enveloping video, there was as much a sense of 'How did we get here?' as 'Let's look back.' Chesney, 57, is the first country singer – and the first solo artist, despite an ace six-piece band – to play the game-changing venue. His two-hour show, a technicolor wonder, continues for sporadic dates through June 21 and are his only live performances of the year. It's as much a concert as a sonic and visual roller-coaster ride pairing one of the most acclaimed stars of country with the evolving technological wizardry of the Sphere. From the opening deep-sea dive that morphed into a fleet of pirate ships bobbing on the ocean while Chesney bopped through 'Beer in Mexico' – his skinny jeans tight, his sleeveless shirt baring biceps – a carefree vibe permeated the show. Las Vegas Sphere concerts: All the bands that are playing and how to get tickets For years, Chesney has been a reliable stadium filler, a guy who feeds off his fans' adrenaline as he clocks tens of thousands of steps scampering around the stage. While he was slightly limited to roam given the Sphere's structure, Chesney found ways to maintain a lifeline to the front row of fans on the floor as he bent down during 'Keg in the Closet' to smack a palm or accept a Nevada license plate emblazoned 'Sphere.' 'Not only do we see you all, we feel you tonight,' Chesney said in one of his frequent humble acknowledgements of the crowd. Typically, Chesney's concerts offer few embellishments. So to see a Ferris wheel looming over him (' 'Til It's Gone'), a live shot of No Shoes Nation devotees blasted onto the 240-foot-tall backdrop ('No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems') and Chesney on a towering cell phone surrounded by vibrantly colored fish (the prescient 'Welcome to the Fishbowl') elevated the fun quotient. At his opening show May 22, Chesney brought Kelsea Ballerini to the stage. But on this night, Grace Potter, who croons with Chesney on 'You & Tequila,' was the guest of honor to sing that Grammy-nominated hit from 2011. It was a breezy stroll for the pair, but when Potter, whom he introduced as 'one of my best friends in the world,' broke out her signature Flying V guitar, Chesney knew things were about to get rock-y. 'We were in Vegas that last time this happened,' he said, before the familiar sawing guitar notes of Rod Stewart's 'Hot Legs' filled the room (Chesney and Potter covered the song during his 2013 shows at the now-defunct Hard Rock Hotel). It was a playful, if milquetoast version of the song sans Stewart's raspy vocal leering, but also an indication that Chesney plans to shake up the setlist each show and maybe debut more deep cuts. The melancholic 'Seven Days,' from 2010's 'Hemingway's Whiskey' album, made its first live appearance at Chesney's opening Sphere show and he revisited it again for night two, complemented by a foggy lighthouse scene. During 'Big Star,' fans will relish the vintage photos of Chesney posing with music icons including Reba McEntire, Loretta Lynn and Taylor Swift while sinking into the sensation of being dropped into a pinball machine. It was also another reminder of Chesney's longevity in an unforgiving industry. As he cranked out the country rock of 'Living in Fast Forward,' which plopped the crowd into the driver's seat on a NASCAR track, Chesney punctuated the lyric, 'I still got some miles to go.' It was an ideal capper to a song that summarizes the focused Chesney. Even three decades into his career, he's hardly slowing down.
