Bono Tickets

My expectations were high for the evening and Bono did not disappoint. So glad that I got to see it. Highly recommend it for anyone with the opportunity to see it. Cannot think of a better place than the Beacon to see the show. Love the theater.

Bono was fabulous and I will remember this forever. I can’t wait to read the book now.

Forty years ago a band from across the pond came to Boston to play at the Orpheum theater. From there my journey with U2 has taken me to the Worcester Centrum, Central Conneticut, 3rd row at the original Boston Garden, front and center at Pairc ui Choimh in Cork, countless shows in Boston and most recently In the Red Zone in Belfast, so close to Edge I could have picked his guitar myself. Last night that journey brought me back to the Orpheum for Bono’s one man “book tour” event. Tickets announced and purchased a month ago, a show sandwiched in amongst a busy work schedule, a wedding and another concert, I hadn’t given much thought to what the night would even entail. Bono proved that he could continue to surprise me, make me laugh, make me cry. In my 40 year relationship with U2 I have listened over and over to every song, interview, every album and LP, every obscure rare recording I could get my hands on..I knew U2. I sat listening to Bono last night, enveloping his experiences in the music, experiences that were MY experiences, friendship, marriage, children, the huge love and in turn huge loss of your parents. Several times surprised to not hear the song that I felt matched each experience. I’ve always listened to a U2 album in a new light after hearing it live and listening to Bono talk about it. Each song last night, Pride, I Will Follow, Electric Co, Desire, etc etc ..how many times have I heard them? Live, in my room, played to death on the radio..yet it was like hearing them for the first time. I would be hard pressed to pick my best U2 moment. The Super Bowl halftime show after 9/11 when he opened his jacket to reveal the American flag was by far the most moving. Bono is a showman. Critics like to talk about his huge ego. Like them or not, you cannot take away the awards, Grammys, album sales, huge success of U2. On a quest to “put his money where his mouth is” Bono started the ONE and RED campaigns and has led huge humanitarian efforts across the globe. Last night he stood on the small stage with just a string quartet and he was a man. He revealed himself for two hours, a husband, father, bandmate, a son. No flash, no fancy light show, no costume changes, just raw, open, honest. Not unusual for Bono but in a way I had never experienced. I left with a lot to consider and a thirst to stay up all night reading this book. Unquestionably a top moment. ☘️ 🇮🇪💚

Entry was delayed until 8:30 which made it a bit of a madhouse. I have a hearing loss and having directions yelled by staff instead of having signage was a problem. But, entry was ultimately efficient if a bit of a mob scene. I felt bad for someone who arrived at door time and had to stand for two hours. Seating was too tight and old and uncomfortable although I expected that. Still, I was in pain by the time show was over due to lack of leg room and old hard seats. I loved the show but have decided live performance may no longer be for me

Wish I could see it again and again and again ……😀👍🏻😀

Thinking this event was a normal book reading and following Bono for 40 years …. I should have known better - it was an amazing night of music, stories, singing and hope. Bono’s one man show takes his audience through many key chapters of his life and through U2’s journey… and it does not disappoint! I particularly loved the conversations he share between him and his father. Also, his descriptions of his father’s love of opera. Incredible and Inspirational! You walk out ready to conquer the world and you experiencing a moment with a rock star that you will never get again …. A night of hope - Bravo Bono!

An inspiring, hopeful, and intimate show. A once in a lifetime experience!

Amazing artist and show. Event of a lifetime. Signed books would have been an added bonus.

Overall, the experience was very good. I would’ve liked to see him play some more songs, and the song choices he had were some of my least favorites, which I still love, but not my favorites. I actually like the cell phone thing when they took it away for the night, but I wish I had a heads up because my kids are home alone so I would’ve probably giving them a heads up that I was not able to speak to them, but it did allow focus on the actual event instead of taking stupid selfies or posting where you’re at so that part was good!

This was indeed a very special show, it was part book reading, and part concert. He playfully used props and spoke with humor and heart. He hang beautifully and his voice was strong and powerful. There are not too many rock stars that can sing opera, this man can. If you love U2 and Bono like I do, I highly recommend seeing him on this tour

Bono is an incredible singer and storyteller. What an amazing experience!

No words to describe…an intense creative and great show .. Bravo

This show was nothing like I expected. I thought it would be Bono reading excerpts from his book. It was so much more! Music, storytelling, interaction, it was such an intimate experience I can't even explain. I'll just say I would do this again in a heartbeat.

Bono's performance was part singer, part storyteller, part comedian. He kept my attention the entire performance. His voice never sounded better when he sang. Bono was humble and i could feel that he values more than material possessions.

Over the top!!!! And even better! Incredible presentation. Another amazing master presentation, Bono and U2 soul at is highest. And the most captivating night ever!!!! Thanks Bono for an unforgettable evening. From portugal/Azores.

A must see show especially for us dedicated fans of U2 and Bono

No devices which means you are left to your own devices to absorb the storytelling, music and emotions that Bono exudes.

Great show. Venue was cool and felt upclose even tho i was in nose bleed seats. Go to this show. Never regret it

A theatrical performance with songs I have known for the better part of my 50 years. Tales of love, friendship, and activism. Engaging and inspiring. Great way to introduce the audience to a biography that fans of his work have been waiting for.

First of all, the show was phenomenal! I have been a huge U-2 fan since the early eighties and have enjoyed experiencing their growth and development through their performances through the years. But this was different. The personal stories interwoven with singing the songs that express his feelings that he was experiencing during different times in his life really gave us the opportunity to really get to know Bono. It was funny sometimes and sad other times, but always heartfelt and sincere. It was wonderful. Now- about the Beacon: A few months ago, I had a near fatal heart attack. I am limited in what I can do. I did not remember that the Beacon does not have an elevator. We were lucky to get tickets when they went on sale. They were in the upper balcony. A few days before the event, when my husband realized that I would have a problem getting to my seat, he called the theater and they told him where to go for help when we arrived. I can not say enough about how I was treated. They took us to wonderful seats, that didn’t involve any steps, showed me where a restroom was on that floor, and offered to help in any other way that was needed. It made the evening perfect and I am very grateful.
