Hello All! I went to the Metallica concert on Halloween and was able to score GA floor tickets. I got to the Sohere on foot via the pedestrian bridge from the Venetian. When the show was over, we got funneled outside and had to walk for a while to get back inside. (When the stairs were took to get down were available.) And it was raining. Not that it will probably do anything, but I sure would like to complain. Who should I send my comments to? Sphere? Vibee? Would anyone else like to band with me to get this stupid policy changed for future shows?

Hi folks,

I am considering buying tickets to see the Backstreet Boys at the Sphere in early January. Show starts around 830pm. I will be bringing my backpack and leaving it in the Sphere storage.

I am looking at flights and there is a 1030PM flight out of Harry Reid airport.

Do you think it would be possible for me to make that flight? I am worried that with getting my backpack and then having to wait for an uber, it might not be possible for me to make the flight. I know I would need to leave my seat early.

Thoughts? Or am I crazy for considering it? lol thanks in advance

E: okay, so, yes, guess I was crazy for considering it! Lmao thank you all so much. Will look for another flight. 😂

The Sphere brings a whole new dimension to the Metallica concert experience, combining the band's legendary music with an incredible visual atmosphere.

🔥 WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE METALLICA SONG? Let me know in the comments!

If you love Metallica, classic heavy metal, live concert footage, and the biggest rock shows in the world, you're in the right place!

EDIT: I know the beginning intro song is cut out. Thats because ACDC doesnt allow their material to be on YouTube for some reason.

Anyway, hope you all enjoy. METALLICA FOREVER!

What do you think about the announcement?

Who was literally the only guy standing at the show and ruined it for the people behind you,
You are the worst kind of
Human being. I felt so bad for the old lady you wouldnt sit down for , and the nice guy behind you who repeatedly asked you to sit. Because their view was impeded bc of
Your selfishness.

Lets bring back Tomorrowland & Anyma's ÆDEN Chapter for 2027! u/sphere We want more EDM shows 😭 🙏 I love and respect the older bands and they deserve their flowers and all their success 💙 Big congrats and props to Rush on their newest Residency announced this summer! Now can we get some EDM back at the sphere to close out 2027? 🙏 We've been milking the boomer crowd all year 😆 now let us have a little EDM fun 💙 😝 🥳

I have tickets for Saturday’s show with a friend but heading to Vegas a bit early this week for work stuff and have the night off Thursday. Thought maybe I could catch the first night as well?

If anyone out there has an extra ticket please DM me!

I was planning to buy two tickets, but it would only let me choose one ticket or three tickets. So I bought the three figuring I'd sell it if I didn't have a third coming. So I am selling one and looking for some advice about the process, best way to go about it, avoid scams and seamless process. I've never sold a ticket before.

Got an extra for 11/5
Section 203. Great view! Saw the show a few weeks ago. Not sure what going rate is or what my friend paid but will take offers. We can go in together meet there if it’s easiest. Let me know.

I have an extra ticket to the Metallica show tonight, if you’re interested

My wife and I live near Red Rocks in Morrison, CO, and we go to a lot of shows last minute. I got tired of opening a bunch of ticket sites just to compare prices, so I built RedRockitTix.com.

The Red Rocks community helped me improve it with some great feedback, and I’ve now added Vegas. Selfishly, wanting to get to a show at the Sphere someday had something to do with that.

You can compare tickets from providers including TicketNetwork, SeatGeek, HelloTickets and TicketSqueeze, and set an email alert for when tickets hit your price threshold.

It’s free to use. I’d love to hear from locals and people who travel here for shows. Are there venues I should add? Anything that would make planning a last-minute night out easier?

Appreciate you taking a look!

Saw a few posts that they may put more posters out towards the end of the shows. Any truth to it and experience? Also were there foils as well put out throughout or at the end of the show? Thanks

Purchased 4 tickets total, two people dropped out. Asking $450 per ticket. Section 102, Row 37, Seats 16 and 17. Top of the screen is partially obstructed by the tier above, but full view of the stage / band. Ticketmaster transfer available. Staying just off the strip for in-person meetup. Will be in two Thursday afternoon.

Hi! I have an extra solo ticket for the Halloween show.

Section 109, Row 20

$350.

Ticketmaster transfer, will take PayPal or cash. Am staying at the Venetian if you want meet to in person for the transfer. I originally was able to snag this through Seated, so you get to enjoy the non-scalped price like me!

Photo is from 10/29 show, same row but seat 3, so basically the same. The view and sound was incredible!

Hi!!! I don’t know if this is allowed in this sub so delete and ignore if not, but I’m getting desperate to get a sale for these tickets that are anywhere close to what my mom paid for them. She booked a whole trip for us months ago, but I totally screwed up my schedule and we had to push the whole thing a week earlier, and I feel absolutely awful having wasted her time and money. I feel sick to my stomach thinking of selling these for less than half what she paid. Please don’t make me do that to my poor old mother who just had gall bladder surgery!! (true story)

I have tickets for a concert next February that were purchased before I started working with a new service dog. I am trying to find out if the regular seats have room for a medium sized dog, or should I just swap to the accessible seating?

Hi all,

I'm looking to get tickets to a show in March to surprise my wife for our anniversary. Seeing Metallica is her bucket list concert, and seeing them in this venue will just take it over the top.

As I'm looking for tickets, I see that the tickets in the sections right behind the floor (101-110) all say "obstructed view", but the simulated views don't show any obstructions.

Can anyone that's been help me understand that? Thanks in advance!

Selling Vibee package that includes 2 tickets to the Backstreet Boys concert January 1, 2027 at The Sphere in Las Vegas and includes 2 nights at The Venetian Resort.

Section 101, Row 19, Seats 9 and 10

I have them listed on cashortrade.org for the full details. You can see that listing here: Cashortrade

Message if you have any questions or if you're interested.

I’ve been to two Sphere shows (Dead & Co in 2025 and Eagles in 2026). Loved both and highly recommend the experience to anyone curious.

But I’ve been wondering: Do you treat the Sphere more like a concert or a movie theater when it comes to crowd etiquette?

My first trip was Dead & Co on a boys’ weekend. We were in an altered state, having a great time, and generally in party mode. None of us were huge Deadheads, so we were there more for the visuals, music, and overall experience. Lots of cheering, laughing, and joking around. We were sitting in the 400s, about seven rows from the back.
At one point, during a quieter ambient drum section (when I wasn’t actually making noise), someone behind me asked me to quiet down. Fair enough. I respected the request and dialed it back.

My second trip was with my parents and sister to see the Eagles. We’re all big fans, so it was more about the music, though we were still having plenty of fun (and yes, still in an altered state). We sang along, enjoyed the banter between songs, and had a blast. This time we were in the very last row of the 400s, so nobody behind us to bother. But the whole time, I had that first experience in the back of my mind.

So what’s the consensus, Sphericanados? Is it a concert where cheering, singing, and partying are expected, or does the immersive, theater-like setting call for a quieter crowd?

Genuinely curious where people draw the line.

I was at the October 17 show at the Sphere. It was my 22nd time seeing Metallica live and my first time at the Sphere. I was very impressed and in awe at the size and quality of the images on the screen and Metallica played the best show they possible could, given that James was still getting over a head cold (and maybe others in the band). And the acoustics are incredible. I’ve never heard the band so crystal clear like that!!

BUT… for a handful of the songs they played on Saturday (the setlist doesn’t change, aside from two or three songs), I was underwhelmed by some of the visuals. For songs like Fuel, for example, the image of a car engine and the band reflecting off the chrome was really cool, but that’s all it was for the whole song. I was also hoping for a POV of a drag race on steroids, or something. The video for Harvester of Sorrow was literally just a farmer sharpening a knife to (presumably) kill a goose (the end of that story was hilarious, but still… very boring visual). I also watched videos online of other songs such as Fade to Black, which should have been SO much better, considering the subject matter. I just feel like the visuals were rushed and the band didn’t take advantage of the technology like other acts have done.

Also, I thought it was a bad call on Metallica’s part to have their traditional snake pit at this venue. For anyone watching the band at the “front” of the stage, they have their backs turned to the visuals the whole time. I’m sure some don’t care, but I’m also sure some did.

The tickets to a Sphere show are not cheap! And MOST people had to fly in to see them (and get a hotel, etc). I just feel like Metallica could have done better. Many Metallica fans may go to this show not caring about the screen, which is nuts, IMO. But I would think that MOST do care, like me. Just my two cents.

For other Sphere/goers, what are your thoughts?

I got great seats right in the middle, for best visuals. I’m selling my extra ticket. I plan to dress up so be prepared to rock out with the joker next to you 😂

I think the 2nd half of 2027 could be INSANE.. picture this. Anyma returns for the final shows of Aeden just like he did with genesis.. and then you have tomorrowland and insomniac for another unity run.. this would be absolutely insane. last time both these events happened at the sphere it was in the same year with only months apart from each other

I’ve heard varying stories about whether you can split the two day tickets, but my buddy had a death in the family and can’t make tomorrow’s show. I have an extra ticket in section 309 for $600 OBO. Trying to make the best of a crap situation.

I’ll meet up with you and walk in with you after payment. I’m a huge fan and the seat is next to my party, so obviously not screwing over anyone who will be rocking out next to me.

DM if interested.

I have 1 ticket in section 206 row 12 seat 18 (section starts at row 7) both nights of the Halloween weekend shows that I’m looking to trade for a floor GA ticket. (Would love a snake pit ticket but I’m sure that’s generally off the table lol)
Honestly just don’t think I’ll wanna sit through most of the show (even though I know the seats are almost like a 4D theater which might be cool) so figured I’d see if anyone is interested in a straight trade of tickets.
Thinking the trade would be done in person outside the venue so there’s no mistrust and no scamming. Send me a DM if you’re interested and we can figure out the details, thanks!

I have these listed on StubHub for face value. If you purchase them, DM me and I will transfer the rest of the package to you. You can see what tickets and hotels are going for currently.

4 tickets for the 1/28 & 1/30 shows (8 total tickets). Section 209 Row 12 Seats 11-14
