Insider Picks: Cheapest ‘Wizard of Oz’ Sphere Tickets in Vegas
I’m Zoe Bennett, and I’m here to break down the Sphere’s landmark “Wizard of Oz” run with a data-driven lens and thorough reporting.
The facts matter. Here’s what we know so far.
The Las Vegas Sphere will debut wraparound, 360-degree presentations of the 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz starting Thursday, August 28. Audiences will be immersed in Dorothy’s Kansas farm, the swirling tornado, candy-colored Munchkinland, vibrant poppy fields and the Emerald City on a 160,000 square foot, 16K resolution screen. Sphere President Jennifer Koester told The Hollywood Reporter that attendees will not simply watch the film but live it – complete with wind effects, environmental aromas and vibrating haptic chairs.
The Sphere experience promises sensory engagement at every turn. Custom scents will evoke freshly tilled Kansas soil and tropical floral notes from Oz’s poppy fields, while directional speakers and stadium-caliber wind fans replicate that iconic cyclone. Expect leaves to swirl around your feet and synchronized seat pulses that simulate Dorothy’s tumble through the sky.
Showtimes are plentiful: more than 400 screenings run through December 19. Our analysis of secondary market listings via Vivid Seats identifies the lowest-per-ticket price at $135 (including fees) for select evenings. Prices are subject to change, but our research highlights dates with under-$150 fares for budget-conscious fans.
