Metallica's 2027 M72 stadium dates: resale listed first

Ticketmaster lists ten new stadium dates on Metallica's M72 World Tour for May and June 2027, from Vancouver to Salt Lake City, with a public on-sale of Friday, September 25, 2026. Each opened at 10:00 in the venue's own time zone, so the sale rolled from the East Coast at 10:00 AM EDT to the West Coast three hours later.

Compare the date you want to attend

Use the Metallica ticket price guide for listed resale snapshots by date, with each provider and check time shown where a fresh snapshot is eligible. For the residency, the Las Vegas date comparison keeps the listed performances separate. Match the event date and what the ticket includes before comparing seats and final checkout totals on the ticket site.

The dates and their on-sale times

These are Ticketmaster's public on-sale times. The site did not track presales when this sale happened; it now lists Ticketmaster presale windows on each artist's presale page and the on-sale calendar. The Las Vegas Sphere dates, January to March 2027, and the two November 2026 dates at Mohegan Sun Arena were already on sale and aren't part of this sale.

Why resale listings came first

On September 24, the day before the public on-sale, TourTicketCompare checked resale links for all ten dates, at sites including Vivid Seats, TicketNetwork and StubHub International. That is normal for a big stadium announcement. It is also worth pausing on, because a listing that exists before the public sale opened was not bought in that sale.

It might come from a presale, or it might be a seller's promise to buy and deliver a ticket later. Either way, the questions are the same:

• When will the ticket arrive? Read the delivery or transfer date on the listing. A date close to the show is common for resale.
• What exactly is it? Section, row, whether seats are together, and whether it is floor or seated. Stadium floor and stadium seats are different products.
• What will it cost in total? Resale prices are set by sellers and can sit well above face value. Compare the checkout total, not the first number.
• What does the site cover? Read the resale site's own protection terms for your order.

The primary versus resale guide sets out the differences. The delivery and transfer guide explains why a resale ticket often arrives late.

Once the public sale has opened

After each date's on-sale time, the Metallica page shows the Ticketmaster link for that date alongside any checked resale links. If the official sale still has seats that suit you, that is face value from the authorised seller. If it doesn't, the resale links are there. Match the stadium, date, section and quantity on each site before comparing totals.

What the Metallica page shows

The Metallica page lists every tracked date, including the Sphere residency and Mohegan Sun. Before a date's public on-sale, its card shows the on-sale time and no Ticketmaster button. Where a resale price appears, it is that site's listed price when it was last checked, with the time shown. It isn't the face value or a final checkout total. TourTicketCompare doesn't sell tickets or run presales.

For other tours with a public on-sale coming up, the on-sale calendar lists them by day, in each venue's local time.
