Bono says U2 has got no problem with charging wealthy fans more to see the band live
Bono said U2 has little say over concert ticket prices, but the band still tries to keep its best seats affordable.
Bono, the lead singer of U2, stated that the band has always aimed to keep the best concert seats affordable for fans. Although U2 has long tried to make prime seats more accessible, the band has little control over ticket prices. Bono revealed that the group makes the best seats often the most affordable, but they don't object to charging some fans a premium.
For instance, during their 40-night residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas from September 2023 to March 2024, tickets started at $140, with 60% of tickets priced under $300. Bono emphasized that U2 wants fans to feel good about what they're paying for, stating that even though they charge high prices, rich people have feelings too and would like to feel comfortable paying a premium for the show.
