We need a show here! Paging Tiger Stadium, Superdome! Fork up the money!

Where is Billy Nungesser when you need him to open up the wallet?

Probably never. Louisiana is a tough sell for rock and metal acts.

I remember seeing them at the Cajundome with Godsmack around 2004 i think. Still top 5 show for me.

Stuffing his face at some all-you-can-eat fried seafood buffet, maybe...

Are you willing to spend $500~$800+ per ticket ?
Based on Metallica's current booked tour dates, that is the going rate.
$75, $100, or even $175 concert ticket prices are a thing of the past.

The last time they were in Louisiana was covering for Green Day's last minute cancellation in October 2012. For a globally recognized artist, this is not a shock.

I'm more surprised that the new version of Pantera hasn't played a Louisiana show yet considering their frontman lives in Folsom.

The last rock/metal show in the Superdome was the Guns N Roses “reunion” with The Cult opening & in 2016 & it didn’t sell out. I was there. They moved all the people who bought upper level tickets to one of the two lower levels.

Promoters have the stats & they remember stuff like this. Metallica has had Pantera opening for them on this current stadium tour in America for the last 2 years. With the prices they are charging it is a toss up if the Superdome would sell out. I went to the Arlington & Houston shows on this tour & they both sold out easily. They also have more tickets available as they play in the round.
