U2 São Paulo now has four nights at the MorumBIS stadium, after 14 and 16 March were added to the 10 and 12 March shows. On 1 November the U2 tour page marked the first three nights sold out and only Tuesday 16 March open.
This guide gives the U2 São Paulo date, the time in US Eastern, how the sale works and what a visitor should know. The promoter has not published prices for the added nights, so none are printed here.
Why U2 in São Paulo Matters to US Readers
U2 are the Irish rock band led by Bono, and their Latin American leg has 11 shows before the UK and Europe. The tour page at U2.com lists four U2 São Paulo nights at the MorumBIS, and on 1 November only Tuesday 16 March 2027 was open.
That makes 16 March the one remaining chance to see U2 in São Paulo, and this guide is built around it. The three earlier nights, on 10, 12 and 14 March, are marked sold out on the same page.
For an American, São Paulo is a long flight, but the trip also gives a week in Brazil’s biggest city. Fans who miss a US date can use the U2 São Paulo night as the centre of a South American trip.
Our earlier guide covers the first two nights, and this one covers the added dates. The promoter pages now list four nights, so the older guide shows only part of the picture.
In Plain English
The MorumBIS is a football stadium in the Morumbi district of São Paulo’s south zone, home of the club São Paulo FC. Live Nation Brasil, the local arm of the US concert company, promotes the shows, and Ticketmaster Brasil sells the tickets.
Beck, the American singer-songwriter, is listed as the opening act on the promoter’s page for the 16 March night. A CPF is the tax number every Brazilian resident carries, and the ticket limit is counted per CPF.
Pista means the standing floor in front of the stage, and cadeira means a seat in the stands. Meia-entrada is a half-price ticket that Brazilian law gives to students, seniors and some others who can show proof.
Dates, Gates and the US Eastern Time Schedule
Tuesday 16 March 2027 is a weeknight show, with gates at 4 p.m. and the show at 9 p.m. in São Paulo. Brazil has no daylight saving time, so São Paulo stays on UTC-3 all year.
US clocks move forward on Sunday 14 March 2027, so the 9 p.m. show on 16 March is 8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Gates at 4 p.m. in São Paulo are 3 p.m. Eastern, and the show is 5 p.m. Pacific.
The earlier U2 São Paulo nights fall on both sides of that change. The 10 and 12 March shows start at 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, and the 14 March show starts at 8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
The promoter lists 9 p.m. for all four nights, but it has not said how long U2 and Beck will play. Plan for a late finish and book your trip home for the following day.
U2 São Paulo Tickets: How to Buy
U2 São Paulo tickets for 16 March are sold on Ticketmaster Brasil and at the official box office, which charges no service fee. Live Nation Brasil says box-office buyers must first reserve their seats online.
General sale for the 16 March show opened on Thursday 29 October at 10 a.m. Brasília time, or 9 a.m. in New York. The fan-club presales on U2.com and for Santander bank cardholders ran a day earlier, on Wednesday 28 October.
Each buyer can take up to four tickets per CPF, and at most two of them at half price. Online tickets are digital only, arrive within 24 hours of payment approval, and can be transferred 30 days before the show.
The tour page marked 10, 12 and 14 March as sold out when we read it on 1 November. Sold-out nights can release a few tickets, so check the official pages and not a stranger’s offer.
Do not buy from street sellers, social-media accounts or resale sites that promise seats. A digital ticket that is copied can only be used once, and the second holder is turned away.
What We Do Not Know About Prices
The promoter’s pages show no price list, and the ticket seller’s own page did not open from our systems. We therefore print no sector prices for the 16 March U2 São Paulo show.
Prices are set in Brazilian reais, so a US card is charged at the day’s exchange rate plus any foreign-transaction fee. At R$5.40 to the dollar, the 31 October rate, R$1,000 is about US$185.
Online purchases carry a service fee that the box office does not. Before you pay, check the total at checkout, because fees change the final price by a noticeable amount.
Getting to the MorumBIS and Staying Safe
The MorumBIS is in the Morumbi district, in the south of the city, and the closest metro stop is São Paulo-Morumbi on Line 4-Yellow. Riders from the centre change to Line 4 at Paulista, Luz or República.
No shuttle service, parking plan or road closures have been published for the U2 São Paulo nights. On concert days traffic around the stadium is heavy, so plan to arrive hours before the 9 p.m. start.
Ride-hailing apps work in São Paulo, but drivers often cannot get close to the gates, and prices rise after the show. Agree a meeting point a few blocks away and keep your phone out of sight on the street.
Phone snatching on the street is a known risk in large Brazilian cities. Carry one card, your ID or a copy of your passport, and a little cash, and leave valuables at the hotel.
Hotels in the Jardins and Avenida Paulista areas keep you close to Line 4 and to late restaurants after the U2 São Paulo night. Our São Paulo city page covers neighborhoods, transport and costs for first-time visitors.
What It Means for You
Brazil requires US citizens to hold a visa before they travel to see U2 in São Paulo, and the rules have changed in recent years. Our visa guide explains the current e-visa steps, so check it before you buy flights.
The tour page also did not mark the 2 March show in Mexico City as sold out on 1 November. The other Mexico City nights and all three Buenos Aires nights were sold out.
Flight and hotel prices around the U2 São Paulo night rise quickly once a date is announced. Book refundable fares first, and pay for tickets only through the official seller.
What Is Not Known
The prices and sector map for the U2 São Paulo show on 16 March are not published on the promoter’s pages. Whether any more São Paulo dates will be added is also unknown, and the tour page lists none.
The promoter has not said whether foreign visitors without a CPF can buy at the box office. It has also not said whether foreign students can buy half-price tickets, or what the set list will be.
Shuttles, parking and the closure of streets around the MorumBIS have not been announced. We will rewrite this guide when the promoter publishes them.
