THOUSANDS of U2 fans who bought tickets for their Las Vegas residency are being offered refunds after learning their seats had obstructed views of the screen. 

The legendary Dublin band will bring a “first-of-its-kind live music experience” to the huge MSG Sphere venue at The Venetian in the US city later this year.

U2’s residency will mark the first musical performance at the Sphere, a €2.13billion arena boasting a high-resolution LED screen, immersive audio and environmental effects.
