Metallica 2026 in Frankfurt: Fans Overjoyed – and Frustrated by Chaotic Ticket Sales!

The iconic band will shake the Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt on July 24 and 26, 2026. Part of their spectacular M72 tour, which has already sold out stadiums in other parts of the world. The special feature: Metallica promises two completely different setlists on both evenings – with no repeats! The stage will be set up in the middle of the stadium, as in previous stops of the tour, so fans have the best view from all sides.

Ticket chaos causes angry reactions

What should have been a day of joy for the metal community turned into a disaster for many. At the start of pre-sales, there were significant technical problems. Numerous fans reported on social networks about double and even multiple charges for the same ticket. Others were stuck in virtual queues forever, only to end up empty-handed.

"I waited three hours and then my credit card was charged twice, but I only received one ticket confirmation," writes a disappointed fan on Twitter. Another complains: "The pre-sale was an absolute disaster. Servers overloaded, error messages, and now I have to chase customer service?"

Organizer promises solution for billing issues

The organizers have since responded to the complaints and assure that all duplicate charges will be refunded. "We are working hard to resolve the issues that have arisen," they said in a statement. Fans who are affected are asked to contact customer service directly.

Despite the chaotic start of sales, the coveted tickets for both shows are already largely sold out. Only a few premium packages are still available – however, at steep prices, which are causing additional discontent among some fans.

The anticipation still prevails

Despite all the initial difficulties, the anticipation among fans who managed to get tickets is huge. Metallica is still considered one of the best live bands in the world even after four decades of band history. With hits like "Master of Puppets," "Enter Sandman," or "Nothing Else Matters," the thrash metal pioneers have made music history and continue to inspire generations of fans.

Those who missed out on the Frankfurt shows may have to hope for further dates – or plan a trip to other European venues. The full tour dates can be found on the band's official website.
