Metallica confirmed they had no plans to add new dates to their Las Vegas Sphere residency despite stratospheric ticket demand. The 24-date run sold out quickly after hitting the primary marketplace Ticketmaster.
That means that fans who want to see the metal icons live will need to check resale, either through verified Ticketmaster resale or on platforms like StubHub and SeatGeek.
