Metallica in football stadiums?

2 Nights of "not just the hits" ?

With a 3rd day open for an add?

Unless they officially go on record as this being their farewell tour, I'd wait to pickup tickets on the cheap. Love Metallica and will be trying to go to one of these, but they don't have the drawing power for 160k+ anymore.
what stadium has 160k?

This is one ticket for two nights, and they will sell every seat in the USA since it's only a dozen markets or so.
Single day tickets are not available for this on sale. (January apparently)

They just did stadiums in 2017 with a few big openers and it sold fine. They've also done this format for 40th show and festivals the last few years; 2 shows, 32 different songs.

No they are not adding a third might in between. They haven't played consecutive nights in almost 2 decades.
And no, this is not remotely close to being assumed to be a farewell tour.

I'm stoke for this format. They did it for all those festivals but I didn't want to deal with a festival to see metallica.
The 40th shows were badass.

2017 Metallica was end stage (at least at AT&T). That's roughly 45k fans for "sold out".

This is in the round, which is 80k if they sell it to capacity.

x 2 .


Again, it's not x2

This week, tickets go on sale and are sold in pairs, for both nights. Same seats (or ga) for both shows.

They are selling 80k tickets at AT&T, and that's it. (Save for a few single day tickets on sale in January) so call it 75k tickets with 5k singles in January.

Sports authority in 2017 was pushing 60k. Not 45k. Way more than half the seats (both long sides plus one short), plus a few thousand on the ground.

Interesting on the attendance numbers. I figured you had solid intel on that. I'd expect the Metallica stage to be much larger than what George Strait had. They've done in the round shows multiple times before and the stage is huge taking up most of the arena floor so while capacity may be significantly larger for this show I would bet it won't be 80K. Also consider that Pantera (yes, I realize it's not the REAL Pantera but still) is opening this show which will be a large draw too, especially here.

The bigger mystery is, if as you guys say there is no-way, no-how that they play the Saturday date... What concert is going to be in stadiums those Saturdays with the same in-the-round stage setup?

none.
They did it at chase center, twice, one of them as the very first event of the chase center.

They've done it plenty of times in the past with mexico city and other dates with multi shows.

Lol.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/WorldWired_Tour

Beyond me how mile hi field has less overall capacity, yet 15k more people than AT&T for this show.

numbers match up. No reason to think he didn't.

It's wiki. First place to look for, well, anything.

I mean, maybe they let these giant stadiums sit empty on a Saturday.

But in this era of revenue maximizing, I kinda doubt it.

those giant stadiums sit empty like 2/3 of the year don't they?

8 football games, a dozen concerts, monster jam.. a few other sports games and random events.

This set of concerts is making $15m?

That's a lot of scratch.

Concert Friday, Ranger Game or Six Flags Saturday, Concert Sunday. Maybe there is a Metallica festival/carnival on Saturday. The concert are set up in regional blocks so there will be people traveling to Arlington instead of just waiting for them to come to Houston, Austin, San Antonio, New Orleans, etc.

Lars released a statement saying How They were so thankful for how so many people came down to San Francisco for their 40th shows that this is where they got the idea from to have two shows in a weekend more regional and have people travel and have lots of events and other Metallica related things going on over the weekend. I don't know if the events will be as extensive as it was for those shows in San Francisco but maybe they are planning on releasing a list of events for each city.

I'll add, for both the symphony shows and the 40th anniversary shows in SF, 'the night between' ended up being the name of a huge organized party by Metclub members and they had Metallica tribute band playing and that was the meeting spot

No idea on what ticket to buy for Metallica. Want to do Arlington, LA, and Detroit next year and Chicago/Seattle in 2024.

Considering it's Metallica, I don't expect a mayhem like it was to score Taylor Swift floor.

Today I hit my 100th show in a year, seeing Men I Trust After it I'll just have 2 more in austin and a festival in Los Angeles on saturday, company booked an artist for the holiday party so if it's not a lame one (in the summer they had the Dallas Cowboys official DJ lmao) I'll probably see that too

I'm going for snake pit, then lower bowl.

I don't like GA. What presale you doing? I got tomorrow 8am my time.

Man if they had the full meet and greet experience, I would be considering it. Last round, they did, it was $5k.
Now it's $3500 or so, but only 2 members.

Legacy as well. I want to do Snake Pit for Chicago because it's in between my birthday in 2024. I'm gonna look at prices and see if the I Disappear ticket for 2023 could save me money or not.

I feel even outside the snakepit it shouldn't be hard to get a good front spot due to the stage being 360.

The M&G is terrible. I only want to meet James and would totally pay $2500 now that I have a job compared to 2017 lol. I did win the club M&G in 2017 so I met Lars Kirk and Rob that way.

Imagine paying $5k and the two you meet are Lars and Rob lol

I got hosed on legacy. Was a paying member 3 times before 2011 but never had consecutive years. I have 5th member tomorrow at 11 am my time.

I am hoping for snake pit or frantic ticket pass access.

There website says
"A legacy member is someone who had a paid MetClub membership between 1994 and 2015 at any time for two or more years OR had an active paid membership on August 24, 2015."

If what you are saying is true, you should be legacy.
Send an email to their support.

I did. They denied it. It might have been a different email or login and that's why I wasn't able to prove it.

I remember, you bought an experience in 2017, and then tickets to like 7 more shows; you could have just done the full meet and greet experience at one show and met James.

But you said

I considered it but I read the reviews on the Metallica forum and honestly don't feel like paying $2500 for a photo with 11 people I will never see in my life again and the band.
I'm gonna take a shot and see if I win one of the M&Gs they give out through the fanclub.

lol. That was your shot man, James was doing the experience M&G back then, but not any more. And it was well known he wasn't doing the M&G freebies they give to the lottery winners.

You didn't meet James because you didn't want a photo with 11 strangers lol.

Ah yes. I did the Whiplash experience in 2017 in Houston.

So the VIP first happened in Mexico City. When the shows took place in March the M&G photos had all the people that got the VIP on it, so like 11 dudes and the band, and I recall the photos looked bad. Like low lightning and everything. So I just did Whiplash for Houston and then GA for the others. Come Baltimore and you see the fans now getting an individual pic with the band ...

When they sold South America VIPs, it said full band then they removed James from it on the description but they did offer people a partial refund

Just realizing though, that day in between really adds to the expenses.
Another hotel night, 3 meals, getting around/doing something.

Got row 4 here. Pretty happy, but as always I had better but then poof!

3-4 times snake pit showed available, then I click, and gone. I hate how these systems work.

For LA I plan to spend that in between at Universal since Mario World will be open. Arlington is DFW so I'll probably be bored that day. Phoenix and Detroit I've never been to will look for museums or something cool to do.

Knew who they were. Didn't know their stuff. Went there after seeing Iron Maiden and WASP.
