    Where the heck do you get 15360 × 8640 pixels? Just because that is a common resolution commonly called 16K does not mean that is what the screen utilizes. 16K only means there are approximately 16,000 horizontal pixels. There is no universally agreed resolution by the name 16K, it all depends on the display dimensions and the practical application.

    Reliable sources have said the Sphere's screen measures 16,000 × 16,000 pixels and uses 268,435,456 pixels (which would technically put it at 16,384 × 16,384).

    Please don't presume to know what you are talking about when you really don't.

    Can confirm. I went and saw the concert and my whole night was ruined by some bedsheets.

    So?
    The 16K moaning was weak...this is laughable.
  5. When do we think U2 will play the last Sohere show? Somettime in Spring 24 or later? Trying to budget and plan for next year's travel as much as possible. Thank You!

    I believe it has been rumoured a few extra shows into March and that would be it.

    To me that seems about right, any more then novelty will start to wear off, the videos online will no longer have the wow factor, anyone who can go has been and they might even struggle to sell tickets, which would not be a good way to finish it up.

    Demand is still very high. U2 could sell out shows way into summer. We often underestimate how appealing this show is and Vegas is full of people who want to go.

    I agree Remy. The early 24 run sold out instantly aside from some super pricey seats. I think it would make sense if you’re the band too, as they’ll want the impetus from the live shows to take them into their next piece of work….which they want Larry back for, so I see it lasting until at least early summer 24 or when he’s ready
  9. Just keep adding 4-6 shows until the demand dries up.
  10. I was fortunately able to see 3 Sphere shows and loved them all. Getting all of AB live is a bucket list dream. I went to a ZooTV Outside Broadcast Show in '92. Hoping to see 1 or 2 more next year before the residency ends. As some have mentioned, they should advertise Final Show or Shows.

    Where were your tickets? I'm going in Feb and have GA - can you see all the stage given it's on a platform?
  12. If you’re in GA, you’ll miss out on graphics the stage does. But it’s not that important to the show, just a few songs Acrobat and vertigo where it’s cool.
