Due to unprecedented demand, a second show has been announced - no ticket sale, fan club members only.

Quote:

Wow that's all we have to say! The response from the 'Tallica fan universe to the announcement of our show with the San Francisco Symphony blew us away, in fact, it was completely and totally overwhelming thank you! However, we also understand that for a great number of you, it brought frustration and disappointment as the supply of tickets fell way short of demand.
We've heard you and we've learned from our missteps with this particular ticket on sale. We're working to make this right as we are excited to announce that a second show has been added at the Chase Center in San Francisco on Sunday, September 8th. First order of business: No public on sale this time! Tickets for the second S&M show will be available exclusively to Fifth Members.
We're thrilled to continue the celebration of this world-class arena's opening, to share the spotlight with the Golden State Warriors, the SF Symphony, Michael Tilson Thomas, the Chase Center and what this event represents to the city and the people of San Francisco. The second show gives us a chance to celebrate in a unique and very special way with all of you, the die-hard Fifth Members. We're all huddled at Metallica HQ now working out a plan to give every one of you the most fair and equal chance at obtaining tickets (and to do everything possible to keep the bots from getting any). Under the full disclosure umbrella, due to contractual obligations with the Chase Center there will be a small number of tickets available to Golden State Warriors season ticket holders, but the rest of the house will be all of you and only you just the Metallica Fan Club family. This is going to take a little time to get as close to foolproof as we can get it, so please sit tight for a few more days and we'll be back with more details.
Thank you for all your comments, suggestions and most of all your support and patience! Stay tuned, watch this space.

So round 2 is happening now. They are basically holding a lottery for 5th member and legacy fans to see who wins a spot to buy tickets this week and then allowing you to buy them if you win next week. Tickets are attached to your phone number so you can't transfer them unless you sell your phone and number also.

I won contest 3, non floor seats. Could potentially be better than what I have for first night (lower bowl), since there are a few rows of seats along the floor that are a higher price point.

Going twice baby!

Man, I went for floor seats and lost again. I'm starting to think I wasn't meant to go to this show!

I may not have a +1. I'll let you know. I'm buying 2 regardless since +1 can't commit by Friday.

hah.. hey well a die hard fan of almost 30 years (and a paying member of their club for ~15 years) is allowed to catch a break now and again!

Also, my snake pit was just a extra that came with what I actually I won.. The Meet & Greet.

hell yeh.. got section 3 row 4, the area in front of lower bowl. This is like 30' from stage, and elevated above floor.

I couldn't get a consecutive pair, but I did get another single, section 113 row 7. Not sure if I'll be able to work out a seat swap, but oh well. Maybe just squeeze two people in one seat's spot.

I won a second chance entry for tomorrow. It says that I'm not guaranteed a seat (and the seats probably won't be that good), but at least there's a chance!

Awesome! Get in there.

When you are in, don't try and select a seat; on the right is two tabs - select seat and 'best seat'. Go to best seat column, scroll down some and list pick one.

I spent 10 damn minutes trying to select a seat by zooming in to the venue. It says 'another fan beat you to it' but this was on legacy sale so everyone was guaranteed a seat, or just toon a while to secure one. And they were getting further and further back. Your sale is not that case.

Just pick one from best seat option that is further down the lake for your best chance. It's much quicker than zooming around.

Yes! Not the greatest seats ever (aisle seats though!) but I'm just happy I'll be there. Now, on to flight and hotel searching...

Mine were $100, but they went all the way up to $500. I tried for the crazy expensive seats in the first drawing but failed. Learned my lesson this time!

upper half of upper bowl $50 plus fees
lower half upper bowl $100
Lower bowl $150
Risers in front of lower bowl (Where I got second night) and back rows of floor $200
Third row of floor $300
Second row of floor $400
First row of floor $500

Fees on $50 ticket were like $20, ranging up and beyond $100. My fee on $200 ticket was $50.

I bought a second ticket for second night assuming I'd get one of my metallica friends to go, but not a whole lot of luck so far. I guess I should have been more realistic that it's a sunday night, in CA!

I paid for my +1 for night 1 (my brother), and also had to get a hotel to extend the trip (staying across from SFO to catch a 6am Monday flight), so I'm looking to probably sell my +1 on night 2 since I'm a bit overextended on this show as of now hah. I'm in over $1100.

Anyway, I'd be willing to sell for much less than stubhub to someone here wanting to go. For reference, seats near mine are going for $700+ each.
113 row 9 $730 after fee
101 row 4 $900 after fee
118 row 7, $1200 after fee

Seat is lower bowl, section 113, row 7. Pretty good seat.

Want to bump this for any one looking to go, I officially don't have a +1 right now for night 2 (Sunday, metclub only)

Any takers? 7th row, lower bowl. Mobile only, so we gotta meet up outside the venue. $600.. way less than stubhub where $500 gets you upper nose bleed.

I've had a few change their mind or otherwise back out so I'm ready to get this finalized.
