How Much Do Las Vegas Show Tickets Cost in 2027?

Budget $45 to $125 before fees for a headline Las Vegas show ticket in 2027, and know the full spread before you shop: at the last check (October 30, 2026), the cheapest legitimate seat in the city was a soft date adult revue at about $30 including fees, comedy rooms started at about $32, Cirque du Soleil ran $69 to $125 at face value, and Sphere ran from $104 for The Wizard of Oz to $175 all in for the Eagles. This is the sixth page in our Las Vegas prices series, and it prices the market the way buyers actually meet it: by class, at the starting price, with the fee layer explained separately, because the fee layer is where Vegas tickets surprise people. For the rankings behind the prices, read our best shows in Las Vegas guide; for Sphere's full calendar, the Sphere residency calendar.

Ticket prices by class, at a glance

Starting prices last checked: October 30, 2026, against official sellers and named authorized channels. Starting prices are the cheapest seat on sale, not the average seat, and most headline shows price dynamically.

Sphere: $104 to $175 to get in

Sphere is its own class because nothing else in the city prices like it. The Wizard of Oz, the daily film experience, starts at $104 face on the official channel. The Backstreet Boys residency starts at $168.28 (the official Venetian event page figure). The Eagles start at $175 all in, taxes and fees included in the quoted price, the only Sphere figure in this guide that is already a checkout total. Premium Sphere seats under dynamic pricing run into the high hundreds; no official ceiling is published, and any page quoting one is guessing.

Cirque du Soleil: $69 to $125, and the floor moved

Four Cirque shows remain in Las Vegas, priced on the company's own site at Ka from $69, Mystère from $77, Michael Jackson ONE from $99 and "O" from $125, all face before tax. The top of the class is a different world: "O" premium categories reach about $278 at the gate. The story of 2026 is the floor: Mad Apple, at $49 the cheapest Cirque ticket in town, closed on September 5, 2026, and The Beatles LOVE has been closed since July 2024. Ka at $69 is the new Cirque entry price, and the many pages still quoting Cirque "from $49" are describing a show that no longer exists.

Mid-tier production shows: about $45 to $100

This is the value class of the Strip, and its anchors are strong: WOW at the Rio from $45 via Ticketmaster, Shin Lim from $54 including fees and Penn & Teller from $58 including fees on the discount channel checked, and Blue Man Group from $68.36 on its official site, a price that already includes taxes and fees. The class's pricing lesson is the Atomic Saloon Show: a $100 list price that its official distributor sells from $54.40. David Copperfield's official from price was not published on the MGM channel at the last check; secondary sellers put the practical range at about $80 to $195 by date and category, and this guide treats that as a planning range, not a quote.

Comedy and magic rooms: about $32 to $85

The resident rooms are the cheapest proper night out in a showroom: the Comedy Cellar from $31.91, Piff the Magic Dragon from $42.50, Brad Garrett's Comedy Club from $42.30 to $48.31, Carrot Top from $53.10 and Tape Face from $54.05, all starting prices on the channels checked. Watch the channel gap in this class more than any other: the same room can show a $42 starting price on one legitimate channel and an $84 list price at a same day booth on the same date. Quote the lowest legitimate price, name the channel, and never pay the first number you see.

Adult revues: about $30 to $95, one exception

The standard revues are the softest priced tickets in the city on the right dates: ROUGE from $30 including fees on discount dates against about $50 standard, Fantasy from $39, Magic Mike Live from $55 including fees, X Burlesque between $47 and $77 depending on channel, and Chippendales from $76 to $81 (now at Planet Hollywood; listings still placing it at the Rio or the LINQ are stale). The exception is Absinthe, a Spiegelworld circus cabaret that prices like a headline production: $149 face on the official Caesars page, from $123 including fees on the discount channel checked.

The fee layer: what gets added, and the 9 percent tax

Nevada's Live Entertainment Tax takes a flat 9 percent of the admission charge on effectively every Strip show ticket (NRS 368A.200), collected at purchase. On top of the tax, face priced tickets typically add a service fee, a facility charge and a per order processing fee; mandatory fees can themselves fall inside the taxable base, which is why the stack compounds. Two official anchors show the honest extremes. Blue Man Group's own site quotes its from price as $68.36 including taxes and fees: the sticker is the total. At the other extreme, a documented Ticketmaster sale for a stadium concert at Allegiant (base $364, service fee $101.05, facility $8, processing $13, Live Entertainment Tax $34.20) totaled $520.25, about 43 percent on top of base; resident show fees are smaller in dollars but follow the same anatomy. The planning rule this page prints: on a face priced ticket, budget roughly 20 to 35 percent on top for tax and fees; on an all-in quoted price, the sticker is the total. Since the FTC's junk fees rule took effect, more official sellers quote all-in up front, which is slowly making this section less necessary.

The cheapest legitimate channels

• The show's own seller: Cirque sells direct and through MGM at the same base prices, MGM pays MGM Rewards points on the purchase, and the free Cirque Club gets presales and member offers.
• Fees-included discount sellers: Vegas.com quoted below face, fees included, on most shows in this check (Absinthe $123 vs $149 face; ROUGE $30 on soft dates; Shin Lim $54 against a $167 list). Prices that already include fees are also the safest comparisons.
• Same day booths: Tix4 (Tix4Tonight) and Tickets2Nite (Showcase Mall, from 2 PM daily) sell unsold same day seats, commonly up to about half price. The trade is choice: you take the show that has seats, not the show you planned.
• The venue box office: buying in person skips the online service fee and order processing fee on the same seat (the 9 percent tax still applies), and box offices hold the discount inventory web sellers never show, including Blue Man Group's published $35 student rush, day of show with college ID.
• Member deals: Travelzoo was running Mystère at 20 percent off for members in this check. Locals and military pricing exists at several box offices with ID; treat it as an in person ask, not a published online rate.
• Resale, named plainly: TickPick, SeatGeek and StubHub are legitimate, but on hot dates they price above face (Backstreet Boys get-ins at $172 to $205 against a $168.28 official start) and add their own fees. They are a availability channel, not a discount channel.

When prices move

Most headline shows price dynamically, so the calendar is a price lever: Friday and Saturday nights, holidays, fight weekends and citywide events price highest, while Tuesday to Thursday performances and soft weeks produce the discount channel numbers quoted above. The second lever is the seat map: starting prices buy the back and the sides, and the same show's premium categories can run two to four times the get-in. Decide which lever you are pulling, cheap date or great seat, because pulling both at once is how a $69 ticket becomes a $278 one.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Las Vegas show tickets cost in 2027?

Most resident shows start between $45 and $125 before fees. The full spread at the last check (October 30, 2026): soft date adult revues from about $30 including fees, comedy rooms from about $32, Cirque du Soleil from $69 to $125 face, and Sphere from $104 face (Wizard of Oz) to $175 all in (Eagles). Add the fee layer on face priced tickets: 9 percent Nevada Live Entertainment Tax plus seller fees, roughly 20 to 35 percent on top.

Are Las Vegas show ticket fees included in the price?

Sometimes. Sellers increasingly quote all-in prices since the FTC junk fees rule: Blue Man Group's official site quotes $68.36 including taxes and fees, and the Eagles at Sphere were announced at $175 all in. Where a price is quoted as face or plus tax, expect the 9 percent Live Entertainment Tax plus a service fee, a facility charge and an order processing fee at checkout.

What is the cheapest way to buy Las Vegas show tickets?

Compare four legitimate channels: the show's own seller (Cirque direct and MGM quote the same base, and MGM pays rewards points), discount sellers that quote fees included (Vegas.com undercut face on most shows checked), same day booths (Tix4 and Tickets2Nite sell unsold seats at up to about half price), and the venue box office, which skips the online service and processing fees. Resale marketplaces are legitimate but usually price above face on hot dates.

Why did Cirque du Soleil tickets get more expensive?

The floor moved. Mad Apple, the $49 Cirque ticket, closed on September 5, 2026, and The Beatles LOVE has been closed since July 2024. Four Cirque shows remain in Las Vegas, and the cheapest is now Ka from $69 face. Any guide still quoting Cirque from $49, or listing six Cirque shows, is out of date.

Do Las Vegas show prices change by date?

Yes, most headline shows use dynamic pricing. Friday and Saturday nights, holidays and big event weekends price highest; midweek and soft dates produce the discount channel prices quoted in this guide. The same seat can differ by tens of dollars between a Tuesday and a Saturday.

All prices last checked: October 30, 2026, against official sellers (Cirque du Soleil, Sphere, Blue Man Group, Caesars) and the named authorized channels in the text. Starting prices move with dynamic pricing; the checked date is part of the price. David Copperfield's official from price and same seat checkout captures for Cirque, MGM and Sphere shows could not be verified in this pass and are not quoted as fact anywhere on this page.
