Over the past few months, Las Vegas’ Sphere has gained a bit of a reputation for being a pricey place to catch concerts.
However, when the Super Bowl comes to town, tickets for all other events in its vicinity go up and down more than ever.
Exhibit A: For the first time in months, fans can snag seats to see Rock and Roll Hall of Famers U2 live as part of their ongoing residency for under $250.
Based on our findings, at the time of publication, our team found seats going for as low as $230 before fees on Vivid Seats.
Although that sounds expensive, just last week tickets were nearly $70 more (!) for the same exact show.
And once you factor in that this is a one-of-a-kind, visually spectacular concert experience you won’t want to miss live, this just might be your best bet if you’re looking for things to do in Las Vegas during Super Bowl week.

U2 band members
The genre-bending legends have largely been a steady four-man unit since the group’s inception in 1976.
However, drummer Larry Mullen Jr. will sit out the Las Vegas residency to recuperate from surgery according to U2’s website.
As a result, the lineup for all shows will include Bono on lead vocals, The Edge on guitar and Adam Clayton manning bass.
The trio will be joined by keyboardist Terry Lawless and replacement drummer Bram van den Berg.
Prior to playing with U2, van den Berg performed with Dutch pop-rock group Krezip.
