Rush opens sales for VIP and travel packages on Friday, November 6, for its five May 2027 shows at Sphere in Las Vegas. Fans who want a concert ticket without a package have a separate sale next week. The band calls the residency Elevate From the Norm and will play May 21, 23, 26, 28 and 30.
Rush Backstage and newsletter members get the first two hours of package sales, beginning Friday at 10 a.m. Pacific. The package sale opens to everyone at noon Pacific. The artist presale for concert tickets starts Wednesday, November 11, at 10 a.m. Pacific, followed by the public ticket sale Friday, November 13, at 10 a.m. Pacific. The band’s Sphere page links to the ticket and package options.
What goes on sale November 6
Friday’s first window is for VIP and travel packages. It starts at 1 p.m. Eastern for eligible fans, then opens at 3 p.m. Eastern to the public. If a listing says presale on November 6, look for the words VIP or travel in the offer before you assume it is a standalone seat. The official ticket listings show November 6 presales next to the individual show dates, while the band’s schedule spells out which products open that day.
Travel packages are designed for people who want a hotel stay and concert admission together. The announced lodging partner is Fontainebleau Las Vegas, with extras such as shuttle transportation among the advertised offerings. VIP packages also vary. Some options include premium seating, while select tiers advertise a chance to meet Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson or access to a lounge. Check the specific package before paying, especially the show date, the nights covered by the hotel booking, the number of tickets and the cancellation terms. A package on one night will not necessarily have the same seat options or total cost as a package on another.
How to buy concert tickets on their own
The band directs fans to register through Seated for the November 11 artist presale. Registered fans receive a unique code for early access. A code gives you access to that sale window, subject to ticket availability. Fans who skip the artist presale can try the November 13 public sale. Both windows open at 10 a.m. Pacific, or 1 p.m. Eastern. Sphere’s show page also links to presale registration.
The ticket listings show an 8 p.m. Las Vegas start for all five shows, which is 11 p.m. Eastern. The November sale times use Pacific standard time, while the May performances fall during daylight saving time. The two Friday dates are May 21 and May 28, the two Sundays are May 23 and May 30, and the Wednesday date is May 26. If you can travel on more than one date, pick your alternatives before the queue opens. Compare the full price shown at checkout for the date and section you want. Keep airfare and a hotel out of the commitment until you have the show confirmation, or choose reservations you can cancel if your ticket plans change.
What Rush is bringing to Sphere
Sphere describes the residency as a career-spanning show that celebrates the music of Rush and the life of late drummer and lyricist Neil Peart. Lee and Lifeson are joined by drummer Anika Nilles and keyboardist Loren Gold, who also play with them on the Fifty Something tour. The five Las Vegas dates form a separate residency, so check that the event name says Elevate From the Norm and the venue says Sphere when you choose a date. The Friday package sale, Wednesday artist presale and following Friday public sale are separate chances to buy for those same five shows.
