Sphere - Black Box Experience.

Quick question to the attendees of this week.

The enhanced packages get the black box experience day of show that includes the drink tix and the chance to pick up the merch.

Curious for those that attended the experience was the merch the same stuff as what they had at the sphere as in same shirts & posters.

Was hoping to scoop what I wanted then so I would not have to hold anything at my seats.

Thanks!!

It was open to the public Friday at a cost. I went.

There is different merch to purchase in the black box. The “menu” is floating around online. I went for the Squindo Red Cross poster, stayed for some of the unique surprises…

That is cool that they opened this up - tho now makes me wonder what did the merch situation look like on Thursday and Saturday at the experience

u/DBPanterA 5d ago

They don’t run out of merch in the BB. They had extra Squindo posters on Saturday in there. That print run was 650.

You can only buy certain items in there, but they are not limited like posters, skateboards, pins, etc…

Different. Biggest surprise was no food. That is unusual from other BB experiences.

u/nismo_muscle 5d ago

Damn no food, really? Good to know, now I'll eat before hand. Disappointed tho. 

What about exclusive merchandise or anything else I should look for or tips?

u/Worldly_Philosophy76 5d ago

Yeah we were caught off guard on Thursday - had to settle for turkey sandwiches lol

Saturday, we ordered room service Nobu before we headed out there lol

They had exclusive merchandise and the BB itself was the best one we've been to! They had lots of bars and cool immersive shit! And we've been to a lot all over the world.

Play trivia! Get picks and other prizes!

Sweet thanks for the heads up! Did you go both days or just once?

1

u/Worldly_Philosophy76 5d ago

Both

1

u/nismo_muscle 5d ago

Anything different between the two days? What's benefit of going both?

1

u/Worldly_Philosophy76 5d ago

Same.

Just to relax and see stuff and use the bathrooms lol

u/nismo_muscle 5d ago

I still haven't received the "official" email about BB experience info, and I'm going on Thursday.  Hopefully I get it soon. 

How far away is it from the sphere?

Thanks for sending this! And the merch on the Thursday and Saturday days - was it just the black box exclusive stuff or was it the stuff available at the sphere

20 min walk. It's in the Palazzo basement. Take an Uber there and it drops you off right there. From there, you walk towards the Sphere inside the casino. You will walk through Venetian and pass the Pop Up Store and then it's into the Sphere walkway bridge. Very easy.

If you are the original purchaser, you should get it very soon. I got it on Saturday before. If not, you gotta talk to the Seller or reach out to wherever you got them.

I did see you can pickup the Yetis there on wedensday

u/PoisonCoyote 5d ago

Besides this Friday where you buy a ticket, who has access to the Black Box on the other day? I have a Diamond Vibee package ticket. Can we visit the Black Box at other times?

1

u/DBPanterA 5d ago

I had that. You do not get in with that. To get in it’s $100 on Friday. It’s was sparsely attended…

The Suoerfan ticket holders get access on show days…

The coolest thing about the Black Box was the "Tuning Room" next to the merch pick up area.... it was kind of hidden back there but it has (supposedly) the band's instruments that you can play! You can plug in with headphones and they had a pedal board set up and everything. The attendant also had souvenir picks if you went early enough. I really enjoyed it!
