Metallica aren’t slowing down. After the M72 World Tour’s 99 shows across 26 countries, the band extended the run into a fifth year with a 12-city North American stadium leg in May–June 2027 — single shows per city this time, with Limp Bizkit and Avatar supporting every date — right on the heels of their “Life Burns Faster” Sphere residency in Las Vegas (October 1, 2026–March 13, 2027). So how much are Metallica tickets 2027? For the M72 stadium leg, standard general admission at face value ran about $74–$457 depending on city and section, with Snake Pit VIP seats at $1,332; the general onsale was September 25, 2026. Sphere resale, in a late-September 2026 snapshot, started around $672–$912 per ticket.
- M72 2027: 12 stadium dates, May 8 (Vancouver, BC Place) through June 19 (Salt Lake City, Rice-Eccles Stadium) — one show per city, in the round at the 50-yard line.
- Support: Limp Bizkit and Avatar at all 12 M72 shows.
- Sphere residency: 24 shows across 12 “No Repeat Weekends,” October 2026 through March 2027 — reported sold out, so resale is the only route.
- Onsale timeline: fan club presales September 21; Citi, Verizon, Spotify, and Live Nation presales September 22–24; general onsale September 25 at 10 a.m. local via Ticketmaster.

Metallica M72 2027 Ticket Prices
Face-value pricing reported at the September 2026 onsale:
| Ticket type | Price range |
|---|---|
| Standard general admission (upper deck / outfield) | from ~$74 |
| Standard reserved (lower bowl / floor) | ~$150–$457 |
| Snake Pit VIP (standing, center of the stage) | $1,332 |
| Enhanced Experiences / travel packages | varies; hotel + ticket bundles via metallicatravel.com |
A portion of proceeds from every ticket sold goes to local charities via the band’s All Within My Hands foundation. Note that Metallica’s Ticketmaster onsales have historically used dynamic pricing, so the exact face value you see depends on when you buy — early presale buyers generally paid the least.

Missed it? Primary inventory often gets restocked in waves after the onsale — keep checking Ticketmaster before paying resale. And if a payment ever goes sideways on a big purchase, here’s how disputing a ticket charge works.
“Life Burns Faster” Sphere Residency: Dates and Prices
The 24-show residency — 12 “No Repeat Weekends” of paired Thursday/Saturday shows — runs October 1, 2026, through March 13, 2027. It sold through primary inventory, so resale is the only way in:
| 2026 dates | 2027 dates |
|---|---|
| Oct 1 & 3 | Jan 28 & 30 |
| Oct 8 & 10 | Feb 4 & 6 |
| Oct 15 & 17 | Feb 18 & 20 |
| Oct 22 & 24 | Feb 25 & 27 |
| Oct 29 & 31 | Mar 4 & 6 |
| Nov 5 & 7 | Mar 11 & 13 |
In a late-September 2026 snapshot, resale starting prices on StubHub, Vivid Seats, and SeatGeek ranged from roughly $672 to $912 depending on the date — steep, but this is a 17,000-capacity room with the world’s highest-resolution LED display wrapping the audience, and every show sold out at primary. The opening October weekends carry the highest premiums; January and February dates were the relative value plays in the snapshot. Lars Ulrich has called the Sphere “completely uncharted territory” for the band — expect a production unlike any previous Metallica show, which is exactly why resale is holding this firm.
Also on the Calendar: Mohegan Sun, November 2026
Before the 2027 stadium leg, Metallica plays two arena shows — November 19 and 21, 2026, at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT — as part of the venue’s 25th anniversary celebration. These are the smallest rooms on the band’s entire 2026–2027 calendar and sold accordingly; check resale if you’re hoping to catch them.
FAQs
How much are Metallica M72 2027 tickets at face value?
Standard general admission ran about $74–$457 depending on city and section at the September 25, 2026, onsale, with Snake Pit VIP seats at $1,332. Dynamic pricing means exact face values varied by purchase timing.
When did Metallica 2027 tickets go on sale?
Fan club presales began September 21, 2026, with Citi, Verizon, Spotify, and Live Nation presales September 22–24. The general public onsale was Friday, September 25, 2026, at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster.
How much are Metallica Sphere tickets?
The “Life Burns Faster” residency sold out at primary. In a late-September 2026 snapshot, resale started around $672–$912 per ticket on StubHub, Vivid Seats, and SeatGeek, with October 2026 opening weekends at the top of that range.
Who is opening for Metallica in 2027?
Limp Bizkit and Avatar support all 12 M72 stadium dates. (The Sphere residency is an “evening with” format with no support act.)
Are the 2027 shows single nights or No Repeat Weekends?
Single shows — one night per city. That’s a change from earlier M72 legs, where most markets got two-night “No Repeat Weekend” stands with different setlists each night.
Is it cheaper to see Metallica at a stadium or at the Sphere?
The stadium leg, by a wide margin. M72 get-ins started near $74 face value, while Sphere resale floors are roughly 9x that. The Sphere is a once-in-a-career production in a 17,000-seat room; the stadiums are the value play, especially upper-deck seats. Stadium logistics for a show this size work a lot like buying Super Bowl tickets — plan parking and entry early.
Will Metallica add more 2027 dates?
Nothing announced as of October 2, 2026. The M72 tour has repeatedly extended since launching in 2023, so additional legs are plausible — but with 12 stadium dates plus 24 Sphere shows already on the books, don’t count on it. Buy for the dates that exist.
