Following up on our earlier story that U2’s first set of shows at the Sphere in Las Vegas — September 29th through November 4th — raked in $109.8-million in ticket sales, here’s how the numbers have added up run so far, according to Billboard Boxscore.
They sold 281,000 tickets over 17 shows, which amounted to $16.5 million per show.
The average ticket price is $390.97, making it the most expensive Vegas residency. By comparison, Lady Gaga’s residency averaged $290.15 per ticket, with Bruno Mars‘s at $285.30.
With 11 more shows starting Friday, U2 are on track to bring in close to $300 million, which is quite a pay day for 28 shows.
Elton John‘s Million Dollar Piano residency took in $131.2 million from 189 shows; and the highest-grossing Vegas residency, Celine Dion’s A New Day, earned $385.1 million from 714 shows.
