The Backstreet Boys' ongoing "Into the Millennium" residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas is reportedly making millions in profit, according to an exclusive TMZ report dated August 28, 2025. An insider source reportedly told the publication that the boy band is making over $4 million every show, which is largely attributed to their VIP tickets, platinum tickets, and travel packages.

According to Ticketmaster, the average platinum ticket is priced at $946. Meanwhile, Vibee.com offers VIP experiences, titled "The Perfect Fan", which include a ticket for general admission or premium reserved seats, priority entry into The Sphere, a two-night or three-night stay at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, a gift kit, a collectible VIP laminate and lanyard, and other perks, priced at $1191 per ticket.

Another bundle, titled "The One," includes "choice of General Admission Floor or reserved seat at Sphere, a two-night or three-night stay at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, and a collectible VIP laminate and lanyard" for $812 per person.

According to the source, the band made a $7 to $8 million one-time payment for the graphics used in the show and did not have travel expenses, significantly decreasing their overhead.

The Sphere, which boasts 17,000 seats, is almost always sold out for Backstreet Boys shows, with the source adding that the boyband's profits from the Sphere residency matched that of a stadium tour.
