Bono on U2 ticket prices: Floor spots start around $160 on the new tour, and the band has ‘no problem’ letting rich fans pay $1,500

Bono, the frontman of U2, has expressed his band's willingness to accept high ticket prices from wealthy fans, stating, "We also have no problem separating rich people from their money." Speaking on The New York Times' "The Interview" podcast, Bono added that many fans may be overpaying for their tickets. The comments come ahead of U2's presales for its upcoming stadium tour, which begins on February 23 in Mexico City.

The band was recently named the halftime act for the NFL's first Thanksgiving Eve game, set to stream on Netflix on November 25. Bono also revealed that U2 keeps the best seats affordable, with these spots often being the most budget-friendly. When discussing ticket prices, Bono admitted that the band has "very little" control over the pricing.

For U2's 2023-2024 residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, tickets started at $140, with 60% priced under $300 and limited premium seats. At the top tier, VIP seats sold for $600. Similar pricing tiers are expected for the band's 2027 tour, with base prices ranging from approximately $100 to $1,510.
