The band announced the third night on Tuesday 27 October 2026, and the ticket seller now marks every sale phase as sold out. Fans without a ticket have no official source left, so the options are listed below.

U2 Buenos Aires Dates, Venue and Start Times

The band plays Buenos Aires on Tuesday 23, Thursday 25 and Saturday 27 March 2027, the last three shows of its Latin American leg. That leg has 11 dates in all and opens in Mexico City on Tuesday 23 February.

The venue is Estadio River Plate, home of Club Atlético River Plate, one of Argentina’s biggest football clubs. Fans call it the Monumental, and it stands in Núñez, a district in the north of Buenos Aires.

Its sponsor name, Más Monumental, ended on Tuesday 1 September 2026, when the supermarket chain ChangoMás ended its contract early. Live Nation, the US live-entertainment company, will negotiate a new name from 1 January 2027, and none has been announced.

Start times and door times have not been announced for any of the three nights. Check the ticket page and the band’s tour page before you book same-day flights.

Tickets and Prices at All Access

All Access, the ticketing site of promoter DF Entertainment, is the official seller. DF Entertainment is an Argentine concert company, 51% owned by Live Nation since 2018, that also runs Lollapalooza Argentina.

U2.com subscribers, members of the band’s paid fan club, had presale access for the third night from Wednesday 28 October 2026 at 11:00. General sale followed on Thursday 29 October at 13:00 Buenos Aires time.

Each buyer could take up to four tickets per show. Card holders must confirm their identity with a six-digit code that appears on the card statement within 10 days.

Ticket prices for the first two nights, before service charges, started at ARS 120,000 (US$78) for the upper Sívori stand, one of the stadium’s stands. The Gold Circle pit on the pitch cost ARS 500,000 (US$325).

Standing tickets on the general pitch and in the lower Sívori stand cost ARS 185,000 (US$120), and the front pitch cost ARS 355,000 (US$231). Upper seats cost ARS 145,000 (US$94), and the best numbered seats in the San Martín and Belgrano stands cost ARS 375,000 (US$244).

Packages on the All Access page run from ARS 680,000 (US$442) for priority pitch entry to ARS 1,500,000 (US$976) for the top hospitality package. The (RED) Zone package costs ARS 700,000 (US$455) and supports (RED), a charity fighting HIV and AIDS.

All prices are converted at ARS 1,537 per US$, the rate of 31 October 2026. The service charge has not been published, and prices for Saturday 27 March have not been listed separately.

If You Do Not Have a U2 Ticket

No official resale or exchange channel is listed on the All Access page. Treat tickets offered anywhere else with caution, and avoid paying strangers by bank transfer.

The band’s tour page did not mark São Paulo, Brazil, on Tuesday 16 March 2027 as sold out on 2 November 2026. The same page lists a fourth Mexico City night on Tuesday 2 March 2027 as not yet sold out.

Holders of Argentina’s disability certificate, known as the CUD, pay the lowest ticket price, and so does one companion. The promoter says it will publish entry details for them in the days before the show.

Beck, the Tour and the New Album

Beck, the American singer-songwriter, is the special guest on the Latin American dates, according to the band and the ticket seller. His set times have not been announced.

The Greatest Show on Earth World Tour supports Carnaval De Luz, the band’s 16th studio album and its first in nine years. The album is due on Friday 13 November 2026.

The tour marks the band’s first stadium shows since The Joshua Tree Tour ended in Mumbai on 15 December 2019. After Latin America, the band plays the UK and Europe from Monday 26 April 2027, starting in Stockholm.

Planning Your Trip to River Plate

Buenos Aires keeps the same clock all year, three hours behind Greenwich time. On these dates it is one hour ahead of New York.

For earlier River Plate concerts, the city government closed Avenida Figueroa Alcorta and Avenida Udaondo from the afternoon until 01:00. It also ran Subway Line D later than usual, so check its notice before each show.

Fans paying with a foreign card should ask their bank to approve international purchases first, as All Access advises. Without a ticket in hand, book flights and hotels with free cancellation.

What It Means for You

US fans can only reach the shows through All Access or an official return, so a trip without a ticket is a gamble. The cheapest legitimate route may be the São Paulo or Mexico City nights that are still open.

Residents of Argentina face the same sold-out nights, with prices that were high against local wages. Pesos are quoted before the service charge, so the final bill is higher.

What Is Not Known

Start times, door times, the set list and any age rule for minors have not been published. The service charge and the exact price list for Saturday 27 March are also missing.
