John Mayer presale, onsale and resale guide: Maximize your chances for Sphere tickets

John Mayer is no stranger to the Sphere, but this time the spotlight is entirely his.

After performing at the Las Vegas venue with Dead & Company, Mayer is returning in April 2027 for six shows that will put several sides of his career on the same stage. Each night will feature a solo performance, a full-band set and a reunion of the John Mayer Trio with Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino.

That gives fans a rare chance to see Mayer move through three very different versions of his live show in one night, all inside one of the most visually ambitious venues in the country.

With only six shows on the schedule, tickets could be competitive once the presales begin. The good news is that fans have several different chances to buy before and after the general onsale, so here is a full guide to every John Mayer Sphere presale, onsale and resale option.

How do presale tickets work for John Mayer at the Sphere?

Fans have several chances to buy John Mayer Sphere tickets before the general public onsale begins.

The first opportunities come on Wednesday, Sept. 30, when VIP ticket packages and Vibee Concert & Hotel Experience Packages go on sale. The main Artist Presale follows on Wednesday, Oct. 7 and requires advance registration through John Mayer’s official website.

SiriusXM listeners get another presale window on Thursday, Oct. 8 before the general public onsale opens Friday, Oct. 9.

Here is the full ticket timeline:

Step-by-step guide for John Mayer's Artist Presale

For most fans, the Artist Presale is the biggest opportunity to shop before the public onsale.

Unlike a general venue presale where a widely shared password may unlock tickets, this sale requires fans to register through John Mayer's official website.

1. Register for the Artist Presale

Go to JohnMayer.com and follow the registration link for the Sphere Artist Presale.

Registration is powered by Seated. Fans should enter the requested contact information and follow the registration process for the Sphere dates they are interested in attending.

Artist Presale registration is already open. The presale itself begins Wednesday, Oct. 7 at 10:00 a.m. PT.

2. Make sure your contact information is correct

Use an email address and mobile number you actively monitor when registering.

Seated presales use the information provided during registration to send access instructions, links or other information needed for the sale. Check your inbox and text messages before Oct. 7, including spam or promotions folders if necessary.

Registering for a presale does not guarantee that tickets will remain available when you enter the sale.

3. Choose your preferred Sphere dates before the sale

John Mayer is playing six shows:

• Thursday, April 8

• Saturday, April 10

• Sunday, April 11

• Thursday, April 15

• Saturday, April 17

• Sunday, April 18

Every show begins at 8:00 p.m. PT.

If you can attend more than one date, decide which nights are realistic backups before the presale begins. Weekend shows can attract different demand than Thursday performances and ticket inventory can vary from one date to another.

4. Sign into Ticketmaster before 10:00 a.m. PT on Oct. 7

Ticketmaster is handling the primary ticket sale.

Before Oct. 7, sign into the Ticketmaster account you intend to use and confirm that your account information and payment method are current.

Use the official presale link associated with your registration rather than waiting until the sale begins to search for the event.

5. Enter the Artist Presale when it opens

The Artist/Seated Presale begins Wednesday, Oct. 7 at 10:00 a.m. PT.

Once you have access, unlock the available presale inventory and compare the sections and price points that remain.

Ticketmaster currently lists the Artist Presale as continuing until Friday, Oct. 9 at 9:59 a.m. PT, but that does not mean every seat will remain available for the entire window.

How do John Mayer VIP packages work?

Fans looking for an upgraded experience get the first opportunity to buy John Mayer Sphere tickets.

A limited number of VIP ticket packages go on sale through Ticketmaster on Wednesday, Sept. 30 at 10:00 a.m. PT, one week before the main Seated Presale begins. Select packages include premium seating, exclusive merchandise and a date-specific lithograph signed by Mayer.

Ticketmaster lists this as the On The List VIP Packages Presale. Because the allocation is limited, exact package types, seating locations and availability can vary by show.

Additional On The List VIP Packages are scheduled to go on sale Friday, Oct. 9 at 10:00 a.m. PT alongside the general public onsale.

How do John Mayer Vibee Concert & Hotel Experience Packages work?

Vibee is the official Concert & Hotel Experience Package partner for John Mayer’s Sphere residency.

Packages go on sale Wednesday, Sept. 30 at 10:00 a.m. PT, the same time as Ticketmaster’s VIP package presale.

Every Vibee Concert & Hotel Experience Package includes a ticket to one of Mayer’s Sphere shows, a two-night stay at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas and a collectible laminate and lanyard.

Fans can choose between different package levels, with upgraded Vibee VIP packages offering perks such as priority entry, premium Sphere seating options and an exclusive John Mayer gift kit.

The Venetian is the only resort directly connected to Sphere, making these packages particularly convenient for fans traveling to Las Vegas specifically for the show.

How does the John Mayer SiriusXM Presale work?

The SiriusXM Presale is the final major ticket window before the public onsale.

It begins Thursday, Oct. 8 at 10:00 a.m. PT. Ticketmaster lists the presale as continuing through Friday, Oct. 9 at 9:59 a.m. PT.

SiriusXM says listeners should tune in to Life with John Mayer on Channel 4, available on satellite radios and through the SiriusXM app, for information about how to access the presale.

Because SiriusXM is directing listeners to the channel for access details, check Life with John Mayer and SiriusXM’s official communications rather than relying on an unofficial code posted elsewhere online.

Have your Ticketmaster account ready before 10:00 a.m. PT and follow the SiriusXM instructions provided for the sale.

When do John Mayer Sphere tickets go on sale?

John Mayer Sphere tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, Oct. 9 at 10:00 a.m. PT through Ticketmaster.

What happens if I don't get John Mayer Sphere presale or onsale tickets?

Missing the presales or public onsale does not mean missing your chance to see John Mayer at Sphere.

Resale tickets for John Mayer at Sphere on SeatGeek will be available as soon as the first presale begins Wednesday, Sept. 30 at 10 a.m. PT. That means you can start shopping resale without waiting for the Oct. 7 Seated Presale, the SiriusXM Presale or the Oct. 9 general onsale.

If you would rather take your chances in the presales or public onsale first, resale can also serve as a strong Plan B if you strike out. Instead of being limited to whatever primary inventory remains, you can compare resale listings across all six dates, sections and rows.

Why buy John Mayer Sphere tickets on SeatGeek?

If you are building a Las Vegas trip around one of these six shows, the ticket itself is not something you want to worry about.

Qualified SeatGeek purchases are backed by the SeatGeek Buyer Guarantee, which gives buyers added protection if a covered issue comes up with an order. That matters even more for a destination concert where flights, hotels and other plans may all depend on getting through the doors at Sphere.

SeatGeek also makes it easier to compare your options across all six dates. If one night has limited inventory or higher prices, you can check another show and see whether a different date gives you a better fit.

Deal Score helps compare listings based on factors including price and seat location, while View From Seat can give you a better idea of what different sections may look like before you buy.

All-In Pricing also means mandatory fees are included in the displayed price, so you can compare the real cost of different tickets without waiting until checkout.

For a trip this big, that combination of buyer protection, clear pricing and comparison tools can make it much easier to shop with confidence.

Once John Mayer Sphere tickets begin appearing on SeatGeek, follow these steps to compare your options.

1. Find John Mayer tickets. Go to the John Mayer tickets page on SeatGeek and look for the April 2027 Sphere shows.

2. Choose your date. Compare April 8, 10, 11, 15, 17 and 18 before deciding which performance works best for your trip.

5. Compare Deal Scores. SeatGeek's Deal Score helps surface tickets that may offer stronger value based on factors including seat location and price.

6. Review the all-in price. Mandatory fees are included in SeatGeek's displayed prices, making it easier to compare the actual cost of different tickets.

7. Check every detail. Confirm the date, section, row, ticket quantity and delivery information before completing your purchase.

Fans have several different ways to get into Sphere, and for a run this limited, it is worth keeping all of them in play.

Whether you buy early or wait to compare resale options, landing the right ticket means locking in your chance to see one of Mayer’s most ambitious shows yet.
