Sounds like its all but a done deal... I know there was discussion about it a while ago on here, but sources are saying the details are finalized and just awaiting formal announcement.

Oct - Dec timeframe w/ around 15 shows.

That may be a show worth checking out. If TOOL ever goes, I will 100% be in attendance.

I gotta say that would be worth a stop in Vegas.

Not even sure, how much are typical tickets for shows at the Sphere? Like how much was U2? Thats prob the only act thus far that would be on same demand stage as this would be.

Rush would make megabucks with their new drummer.

Like I said, have no basis to know what they will be, but I'd bet $250 retail and 750-1k resale once scalpers get them.

Everything in Las Vegas has become 'stupid expensive' it's part of their problem.

It is going to be interesting to see if Legacy Fan Club members still get first dibs on tickets like they do for all their headlining shows or since they are at the Sphere it will be different. I am afraid the tickets are going to be outrageous regardless.

If good seats at Backstreet Boys with way more show opportunities were $400 per - this will be at least double that

I'm going to go, but the wallet tax will be strong on this. Hopefully my friends will pay up also

Still, the numbers are on pace to reflect the biggest year-over-year drop in tourist arrivals on record — except for the COVID year in 2020. The decline in revenues projects to be even steeper because the average daily room rate is off by 5.2 percent from last year, or roughly 8 percent after inflation.


Vegas, we have a problem (Nate Silver).

Metallica tickets are likely to be about $400 to start in line with The Eagles. At least the hotel rooms are cheaper.

Was just coming to bump this... Playing on my birthday. If the tickets aren't too bad, I may have to check this out.
