Where to buy Metallica tickets

You can buy original tickets to Metallica's 2023-2024 concert tour through Ticketmaster, though the available quantity is limited. Additionally, standard original tickets on Ticketmaster are typically more expensive than those available through verified resale platforms such as StubHub and Vivid Seats.

The prices for standard tickets at Metallica's M72 World Tour range from about $55 on the lower end to $332 for one-day passes, though these prices are higher for two-day passes to most venues. The price range for standard tickets through StubHub is similar, beginning at about $46 to around $329, depending on the date and location.

How much are Metallica tickets?

The cost of an original concert ticket to Metallica has risen significantly over time due to demand. While some are still available through Ticketmaster, the price of a ticket varies by date and location.

In September, the cheapest price on Ticketmaster for a standard ticket to Metallica's M72 concert was $56 for the band's November 3 show in St. Louis, Missouri. Meanwhile, the least expensive original ticket to Metallica's Detroit, Michigan concert on November 10 started at $225. Since Metallica's M72 World Tour primarily consists of two shows at each location, you can also get deals for two-day passes cheaper than buying separate tickets for those dates.

Over the past several months, the cheapest available resale ticket listings have mostly decreased in price or stayed about the same. For example, the final two-day passes in Mexico City have decreased in price by more than $100. They were previously listed at $359 on StubHub, but they now go for $242 on the same site. Other dates, like the band's first night in Helsinki, have also seen more than $100 drops in price.

Various VIP packages for Metallica's tour come at a higher price, including the "Nothing Else Matters" Snake Pit Experience, "Moth Into Flame" Snake Pit Experience, "One" Enhanced Experience, "Seek & Destroy" Reserved Package, and "Frantic" Early Entry GA Package. An example of one of the cheapest VIP packages begins at $349 for the "Frantic" package and $399 for the "Seek & Destroy" package on September 1 in Seattle, Washington. 

Original prices typically come in higher than resale prices for Metallica concerts. Many of the cheaper tickets are verified resales or originals to nearer tour dates, so you might find the best prices when it gets closer to the concert date.
