Is 3 hours early enough? I believe they open around 08:00 AM, if I get there around 5 AM is it good enough? I really want a poster for myself😅

I’m really craving the chance to see Metallica in an arena again. Indoor shows are simply so much better than these massive stadium open airs. Fewer people, a much more compact stage, and most importantly, far better sound.

I’ve seen the current tour in four different stadiums, and every single time the same thing annoyed me: this absurdly huge stage setup just doesn’t work. The sound down in front of the stage is sometimes really weak, and half the time you can barely even see the band members because they’re standing somewhere on the opposite side of the stage. Instead of actually experiencing the concert, you end up watching the video screens all night. That completely kills the atmosphere for me.

Please stop with these giant open air productions and go back to arena shows. That’s where Metallica are at their absolute best.

Your thoughts on this?

I really hope the bands playing today are better than the event organizers. NOBODY knew where seated fans were supposed to go. Doors opened over an hour ago, and the volunteers and security are just playing ping-pong with everyone, sending us endlessly up and down the stairs. What an absolute fckup

Topic. On TikTok, I see a fair share of people attending most shows on the ‘tallica trail and scratching my head how do some people get into the Snake Pit every single show? Do they buy their way into the Snake Pit every show? I doubt it. There must be some sort of magic trick these people are pulling off to get into the Snake Pit every show. Maybe a lifetime Snake Pit pass? Maybe they know someone from the ‘tallica staff? Fill me in people? How do people do it? Something seems fishy…

am going in 10 days to metallica concert in frankfurt and i never been on any concert i want to get to front stage and how early i need to be ther to be in front and what are chance to meat james

Hello guys I wonder how much are those tickets cost generally I want to go to budapest one but they will sell it tomorrow and I dont know the prices does anyone know how much was the tickets for other cities?

Has anyone has the url for the fan card store on European Tour? I really like the new tshirt that can be bought from that store, I got a pretty cool tshirt from that store in the past for the 2025 New Zealand Tour however the link that I have for the fan card store doesnt include any 2026 tour items.

Has anyone got a photo of the merch stall from Athens?

Id like to see whats available

So as the title says I will be attending to budapest shows and I bought seated tickets both tickets are in the lower section so can I see the band members? Or only a little time when they come to my side?

So all dates are sold out. And I see jacked up prices on reseller sites (SeatGeek). Metallica advises to use Ticketmaster resales. I’m new at this. Is it possible that a decent priced ticket will appear eventually? Are other side trustworthy?

Hey folks. Have any of you bought a resale frantic tickets through Ticketmaster? Were you able to get in early or benefits didn’t work for you? Im curious, cuz I bought Frantic tickets for one EU upcoming concert and I am not sure whether I’d have an early entrance.

Is the ticket tran.sfer via ticketmaster available now for concerts in Germany (especially for Frankfurt concert)?

I’m planning to buy a Snake Pit Package for the concert in Berlin through the official Ticketmaster Resale, but I read that all tickets included in the Enhanced Experience are non-transferable and cannot be resold. So why does Ticketmaster itself allow them to be resold?

And if the restriction only applies to the YETI tumbler, then that really doesn’t matter — I already have one anyway. Will I still be able to access the actual Snake Pit area? That’s the main thing.

Also, if I can’t manage to get a Snake Pit ticket, my Plan B was to buy a Frantic package with early entry. In that case, would I actually receive the early entry benefit? I wouldn’t want to pay extra only to end up with general admission.

Hi all, I’ve got tickets booked for the 2 shows in July. But having a panic around transport home. I’ve booked the last trains back to where I live which is around 23:37.

I’m worried about missing them, but also don’t fancy leaving the show early. Is anyone in the same boat? I’d like to stay until the end, so would happily cancel in order for transport to be more convenient.

What is everyone else doing for those that live outside of London?

Hey folks. In two weeks I am going to Metallica concerts in Frankfurt, Germany. At the time I was buying the tickets, I saved money by not purchasing the early entrance tickets, which I very much regret now. I am planning to show up as early in the morning as possible (possibly at 5-6 am), what are the realistic chanses of getting to the rails? Is there a chance I can secure a spot on the rails? Any tips from people who got it without early entrance tickets? Is there even a point of turning up early?

Hi everyone.

So me and my girlfriend are on a long road trip through Europe and we really want to visit the Bologna show on June 3. 

Ticketmaster is completely sold out and I'm trying to figure out what to do. Do I buy from a reseller now or is there a chance for an official transfer?

If resellers are the way to go, which platforms are actually reliable for shows in Italy? I've seen Viagogo, Gigsberg and a few others come up but I have no idea which ones are legit.

Any advice appreciated, been looking forward to this for a while and really don't want to miss it.

Hi guys! I've been monitoring snake pit passes all over Europe for a few months but couldn't find any.

Is there a chance some travel packages could be available, have anyone get one of these?

Also is there a way to get a snake pit resale via Ticketmaster?

I'm afraid that the chance for getting there tickets are so low, than I'm gonna buy regular ones. Which would you recommend? General admission or seating near the stage?

Hey guys! Do you think waiting from 1pm would be ok to be 3-4 row at a good low spot of the stage so you can see most of the action? I'm asking about the Europe single date shows . Thanks in advance!

The tickets can’t be sold on Ticketmaster yet (option not available), but can be transferred. I know there is stubhub etc, but I don’t want to wait until October to be paid.

I tried TicketSwap but they needed a pdf of the tickets and I can only see my tickets in the Ticketmaster app or export to Apple wallet (which I then can’t export from), so no pdf.

I’m in the UK but can’t go now (Oct 22nd) as the travel arrangements don’t work for me.

All the fb ticket groups seem to be full of scammers masquerading as admins!
