If you think The Sphere is cool from the outside, wait until you see the inside. The humongous spherical screen in the inside is amazing (16K resolution according to Wikipedia). U2 is sold out, and the tickets are not cheap (I payed $500 for a partially obstructed view of the screen, others run at $1,500), plus the "Sphere experience" so I think it will pay out. There is also "The Sphere Experience" movie at $50 a pop. A Capacity of about 19,000 people.

Curious, what does partially obstructed mean in the context of the sphere?

There are seats in the lower section that sit partially underneath the second level. You will get a great view of the band and stage but lose some of the projections going on all around you.

We sat in the 5th row of the 300 level. The visuals were amazing there but the stage was quite far away. If you can afford it, something towards the front of the 200 section would be the sweet spot between being closer to the stage and positioned to be fully immersed in the lights show.
