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

U2 frontman Bono has made clear that the band is comfortable with a sharp divide in ticket prices on its new tour. Floor spots start at around $160, while the most expensive options can reach $1,500.

Bono’s message to high-income fans

Bono’s position is direct: U2 has no problem charging wealthy fans significantly more for premium access. His comments suggest the band views top-priced tickets as an acceptable part of the tour’s pricing structure.

That approach places U2’s ticket offering across a broad range. Fans seeking floor positions face a price of about $160, while those willing to spend substantially more can pay nearly ten times that amount.

A clear split in concert pricing

The figures highlight how major music tours can serve different parts of the audience at the same time. A lower-priced floor option gives fans an entry point, while premium pricing allows wealthier concertgoers to pay more.

Nothing in the available information indicates how many tickets fall into either price category. The figures instead provide a snapshot of U2’s stated approach: maintain a lower starting price while accepting much higher charges for fans who want premium tickets.

For U2, Bono’s comments make the band’s position unmistakable. The group is prepared to let demand from its wealthiest fans support the tour at the highest price level.
