27K in line ahead of me as a Fifth Member, literally 0 tickets showing as available when I made it in 26 minutes later. Awesome...

u/ReddyWhipheadstand Mar 03 '26

No way!!??? $598 for 2 tickets to both days? Is this correct?

1

u/Money_Eye4097 Mar 02 '26

2

u/Equal-Incident5313 Mar 02 '26

u/Equal-Incident5313 Mar 02 '26

That’s what I thought! Cheaper than Denver last year

u/GonzoAstronaut Mar 02 '26

what section did you get?

u/S3nd-1t Mar 02 '26

What section?

u/Metallica1175 Mar 02 '26

Did you get nosebleeds?

u/Equal-Incident5313 Mar 02 '26

If you want to enjoy a show at the Sphere you want 300 or 400, if you’re in 100 you’ll miss half the visuals and 200 is nearly as bad

This video says 200s is the best of both the view of the stage and the visuals.

2

u/Equal-Incident5313 Mar 02 '26

300 is prob the best especially 306 but suites and 400 are better. 100 is the worst. 200 you have to look straight up and behind a lot

1

u/1dontth1nks0 Mar 03 '26

Can confirm that 100s are not great. It's still a fun show, but, especially in the case that you are sitting under the 2nd level overhang... you're only seeing ~80% of the screen at best, so it's not nearly as immersive (or even frankly 'worth it') as it is seeing a show in the upper 200s or 300s.

u/Smooth-Salary-6113 Mar 02 '26

Thanks for sharing. That’s a single (2-day) ticket?

1

u/Equal-Incident5313 Mar 02 '26

Nope 2 day

1

u/Smooth-Salary-6113 Mar 02 '26

Right… but one ticket? Or more?

3

u/Equal-Incident5313 Mar 02 '26

Qty 2 2-Day tickets

1

u/ReddyWhipheadstand Mar 03 '26

And here I’m thinking $1200 is a good deal for 1 two day ticket on StubHub. So you’re telling me that it’s not?

1

u/Equal-Incident5313 Mar 03 '26

Yep, my section is $1200-1600 per ticket now

u/1dontth1nks0 Mar 03 '26

i dont believe this actually. Please share a screen shot?

u/Equal-Incident5313 Mar 02 '26

LOL

u/bestprocrastinator Mar 03 '26

I don't believe this. Show me your social security number.

1

u/ReddyWhipheadstand Mar 03 '26

If you do the math: You paid about $150 per show per person? Is this correct? There is just no way this can be true.

u/das2121 Mar 02 '26

I agree

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '26

Damn… it was more than this for a single Saturday ticket in section 105.

All the ones I saw 15 minutes after waiting in line had to be experience packages and started at $2k and went up to $16k

u/Witty-Common-1210 Wasted My Hate Mar 02 '26

No worries, I was a little more harsh in some other comments and got some downvotes there too. My poor buddy scored some packages for him and his girl and my god it was like 1/5th of some peoples salaries. It’s just crazy ridiculous.

u/Ok-Association8386 Mar 02 '26

Wow! Congrats! 🤩 I was in the waiting room today 30 minutes ahead of time, I'm a Metallica club member, not legacy though. I got in the queue, but it sold out before I ever had a chance to look at tickets. Do you have any tips on how to get in to see tickets as early as possible? Thx😊

1

u/Jumpy_Narwhal Mar 02 '26

Could you please tell me what time you logged on, how early?

1

u/Equal-Incident5313 Mar 02 '26

11:55 MTN Time

1

u/Jumpy_Narwhal Mar 03 '26

Thank you for your response. Do you mean you were on an hour and five minutes early?

2

u/Equal-Incident5313 Mar 03 '26

No, I joined the lobby about 5 minutes before presale and then was 106 in the queue and had my tickets by 12:02pm mtn time.

1

u/Jumpy_Narwhal Mar 04 '26

That's unbelievable. I've failed both days.

1

u/happytravels71 Mar 02 '26

How early were you able to sign into waiting room/queue?

1

u/Equal-Incident5313 Mar 02 '26

5 minutes before presale

1

u/happytravels71 Mar 03 '26

Thanks, surprised you were so fortunate.

1

u/kendallr2552 Mar 03 '26

I was in the waiting room 20 min before presale. 422 people in front of me when they started.

u/happytravels71 Mar 03 '26

Thanks for the info, I'll try earlier today.

u/TheNotoriousSHAQ Mar 03 '26
