Well, that was a quick change of fortune:

Got 2 snake pit VIP for Jan 28/30. It only took like 10 minutes for the queue to clear in front of me.

And then I also just got via email an invitation:
quote:


We are reaching out in regards to your “Full House” waitlist order. Because you previously joined the waitlist for the “Full House” Ticket for Metallica ‘Life Burns Faster’ at Sphere in Las Vegas, we’re giving you priority access to purchase the brand new “Royal Flush” Ticket.


The “Royal Flush” Ticket gives you the ability to attend as many Metallica ‘Life Burns Faster’ Sphere shows as you want in 2027 with first entry access to the GA floor. Six additional 2027 Sphere shows were just announced - visit Metallica.com for full details.

As a waitlist guest, you’ll receive a 30-minute pre-sale window before the Fan Club Pre-sale begins.


Now, looking at this, I'm a little confused. It says only 2027 and that they have added 6 dates in 2027. I still only see the one weekend in Jan?

I guess I'll log on in an hour and see what it says?

Yeah, I see that.

I bought one Royal Flush 2027. Looks like it only includes any dates through March 31, so hopefully they do add some more.

I'm finished! (for now)

I was able to get into the travel packages with some good options. Seats themselves were still $650 ish.
Ultimately decided to not do anything with it and take my chances later
I'll have more options with dates and hotels, if I pay more it is what it is.

In the waitlist for travel package now. Does the $1077 price they show include the tickets or just the right to purchase tickets?

Guess I'll know in 20 minutes.

That should be the price...but just know that's the lowest theoretical price. If you get to actually picking seats, it's quite likely the specific price for your seat will be higher than that.

Even vibee is hard to access. After my wait time the screen refreshed but the show options never fully loaded, but were trying to.

bump

Opening weekend is just over 2 weeks away. From the looks of it, prices have not...come down lol. The 2 I got with the travel package at the Palazzo look to be well in-the-money.

Anyone heard anything of note pertaining to this event?

I am in a group of 4 going the first weekend. I got them for face value in the Legacy pre-sale. Can't wait.

I checked once a few weeks ago and the good seats are still >1k per ticket

I'm not completely abandoning the idea of going around Mardi Gras but jeez, I don't think any of my other friends can afford it
Absolutely ridiculous. Nothing has budged.

Heading there for the October 1 show. Tickets weren’t cheap and seem to be worse now. Glad to be going and can’t wait for the show

My first time for a concert. I did go see the Fincher movie when we were in town for LSU/USC in 2024.

I never saw anything but Dead&Co shows there but it was truly something special for sure.

I love tech, so I want to go back just for the venue. I am intrigued by the John Mayer shows next year but Vibee is trying to punish me for wanting to buy only a single ticket package so I will just wait for GA tickets go on sale.

HAVE FUN

I haven't looked at the setlists. I want to be completely surprised.

Just got out of the pop up shop at the Venetian. I would love to know how much they make overall from the residency. It’s insane.
