Backstreet Boys Wrap Up Finite Las Vegas Sphere Run – Last Tickets Available Now
As of Friday, August 8, the Backstreet Boys have only nine performances left at the Las Vegas Sphere as part of their Into The Millennium residency. I’m Jaden Patel, your source for pop culture delivered deadpan, and here we are again pretending that you will not empty your wallet for some retro-futuristic staging. This run of shows has become a mix of nostalgia and cutting edge visuals, and it is time to secure those seats before someone else does.
Ticket prices start at about $463 including fees on Vivid Seats, with premium options ranging up to $810. No, those numbers did not come from thin air. The New York Post confirmed these figures at time of publication, and the Vivid Seats platform guarantees safe delivery and a 100 percent buyer guarantee according to its official statements. Fans who thought they could save on plane fare and skip this have definitely been Quit Playing Games With Your Heart.
The production is equal parts ear candy and eye candy. A retro spaceship hovers over the crowd, platform lifts the quintet above the audience, and a non stop barrage of images wrap around the entire venue. Sound familiar? It should. The boys perform all 12 tracks from 1999’s Millennium album. Hits such as I Want It That Way, Larger Than Life, Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely and It’s Gotta Be You get the live treatment, along with fan favorites Everybody Backstreet’s Back, As Long As You Love Me, More Than That and The Call. Set List FM has tracked no fewer than 25 songs delivered at every show so far.
On the star spotting front, it has become a spectator sport of its own. ’NSync alum Lance Bass was spotted singing along, a moment captured by Glamour in their heartfelt venue review. Stars like Luka Dončić, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have also made appearances, which only adds to the circus of celebrity sightings. The irony of your teenage arch nemesis from another boy band cheering on the competition cannot be overstated, but fans live for these moments.
Beyond the Backstreet Boys, the Sphere is gearing up for other major acts. If Infinity Wall art and 360 degree visuals are your thing, this is the venue you will mention when people ask what you saw in Vegas. Our calendar lists all upcoming events, so you can plan a trip even if you do not manage to catch Nick, Kevin, Brian, Howie and A.J.
In summary, nine shows remain, tickets start at $463, and you get futuristic staging plus a full performance of one of the biggest pop albums of all time. Or you can stay home and watch clips on social media. Your call.
Stay tuned for more questionable purchasing decisions.
