If theyre charging 500/1000 dollars for tickets they can fuck themselves

They are. I found tickets for $320 each is the 300 section.

I live about 5 miles or so from the Sphere. So I can pretty much see it all the time.

Got to say this looks absolutley insane. I hate Bono, south park nailed it with the biggest turd in the world episode. But i'd actually endure this cunt and his mates to see this.
If Radiohead ever play there im selling my soul to be there, mushrooms in hand.

U2, Sphere review: this spectacular concert will change live entertainment forever
The group opened Las Vegas's $2.4 billion high-tech venue with a show so utterly extraordinary it almost overwhelmed the band themselves

U2 review – an utterly astonishing, admirably raw Vegas extravaganza
Playing Achtung Baby interspersed with other hits, the band use slick LED displays to eye-popping effect while remaining unpredictable

what to see U2? or just the sphere experience?
As soon as Someone is on that we are into we are going. Looks amazing. Muse, Radiohead or Guns n Roses and we are there.

I absolutely need to experience this.
I do wonder how spending 2.4 billion dollars on a 18,000 seater will ever make a profit but im glad you mad Yanks are crazy enough to try. Only in America.

I live here in Vegas and I'll probably never be able to go into the Sphere. I just don't have the kind of resources for that. But damn that is so cool looking inside. Maybe one day I'll get rich somehow and then I'll go see it.
A ticket for the Darren Aronofsky experience is $49

I gotta admit, I would love to see this show and be tip top high as a kite when they play Mysterious Ways.

I don't think I would like to go to a concert with thousands of loud Americans shouting and screaming over the music, telling their wife and phone what they think of the light show.

I'm working with the Architects that are hopefully doing the London Sphere, they also did that one. It won't be as big as the Vegas one and is currently sitting on the Mayor's desk awaiting sign off. Have to admit I wasn't overly fussed on checking out Vegas, but it's top of my list now because of this, it looks bonkers

I think it might be big concerts in general now, but this venue will encourage it more than others, I would guess. Concerts are obviously often all about spectacle, but this one will be to an even bigger degree.
I imagine U2 won't care at all but here's a clip that makes me wonder what people signed up for when buying their tickets. While performing one of their biggest songs, the singer encouraging the audience to lose themselves in the music and sing along. The audience instead chooses to look at the ceiling and shout "what is happening?!" For the benefit of a video they can share on Twitter.
The concert probably doesn't need the band in this instance...
This is probably the perfect venue for "hologram" performances like Abba's Voyage show.

What is the room acoustic concept here? If its just the LED sphere with a PA blasting along its destined to sound horrible.

What’s wrong with not wanting a huge sphere projecting light and sound near the place you live?

I'd assume a London Sphere wouldn't be built in a residential area. Nevertheless, it's certainly going to be huge. "The MSG Sphere would be nearly the same height as London’s Big Ben (90 meters) and have a diameter of the London Eye (120meters)."
Yeah, I wouldn't want to live next to a huge advertising screen the size of the London Eye.
Yeah, if there are indeed people who'd need blackout blinds to enjoy a quiet evening at home, I understand why they're trying to stop that project.
-- Update:
Damn. That thing is HUGE! I'd go crazy if I lived nearby the biggest LED display in the world.
