That's surprisingly reasonable on a per ticket/show basis.

Fifth Member here.

Only over 300,000 people ahead of me in the cue.

eta: just saw they’re adding 6 more shows to go on presale Wednesday.

that’s about what dead and company tickets were per show. It’s worth it plus as noted elsewhere it’s extremely costly to the artists to do these shows

does Metallica play the same show/setlist every time? Cause that would kinda suck. My assumption would be they’ll play a different show each THU/SAT then repeat?

They play completely different sets each thu/sun with no songs repeated

Well, glad I did the travel packages on Friday. The queues for 5th Members this AM were LONG and FRUITLESS. Basically, everything sold out by Legacy members and nothing but scraps remaining which are now all gone also.

However, they did just announce there will be 6 added dates, the presales for which start on Wed AM LOL.

ETA: I did manage to get on the "wait list" for so-called "full house" tickets which grant access to every single show. I can't imagine I'm going to come off the list though...right?

I was just trying to see what the face value of tickets was.

Tomorrow (Tuesday) AM is the Ticketmaster presale. Does anybody know if they would have reserved some for that? Or is it sold out now with only the presales having gone?

I was 3000...and when it got to me after 15 minutes, it was stuck on the "it's your turn" page for several minutes before just kicking me back to the onsales page list. Typical clown show.

3 new weekend were added, though:

10/8,10

11/5,7

1/28,30

Those go onsale - both travel packages on Vibee as well as fan club pre sales - tomorrow (Wednesday) AM.

I mean, the demand kind of makes sense. The Sphere is only ~20K people. The stadium tour they just finished in the same format was routinely selling more than 50K per venue.

Yes. Both shows. 4 tickets in 302.


Thats very reasonable and kind of where I thought it would end up retail... The scalpers/resale are where its going to get ridiculous.

Can you tell where the link is?

The email said LINK but I don't see any actual links to the presale.

ETA: oh I see it's at the bottom.

I am going for meet n greet snake pit in Jan, hoping that will be less in demand that far out than the Oct dates.

Anyone able to join the waiting rooms? It spins for awhile then says "something went wrong, please try again". Anyone having that?
