Since there’s less than 24 hours to the second Metallica concert at the Olympic Stadium, it can cost as much as $5,000 on resale sites for latecomers who decide to buy tickets at the last minute.

To find out the price of last-minute tickets to attend this second Metallica show in Quebec since 2017, Le Journal visited the main resale sites (Stubhub, billets.ca, Ticketmaster and Marketplace) early Saturday evening.
It was always possible to snag some rare pearls, but not at any cost.
Tickets were becoming rarer on the billets.ca site, however, it was possible to snag a pair of tickets at the famous “Snake Pit” for an impressive total price of $5288.85. Other, slightly cheaper pairs were still available for around $400.
Stubhub, for its part, allowed those who wanted to experience the “snake pit” access while saving a few thousand dollars, despite costing just over $2,000 a pair. It was also possible to find two tickets relying on an invoice containing one zero less, but without having the best positioning.
While Ticketmaster’s ticket pairs ranged from $400 to $1800, on the reseller side, Marketplace was able to get the best deals. It was then easy to find a pair of tickets on the floor for around $200.
It is certain that some enthusiasts will not hesitate to pay full price for the opportunity to see James Hetfield and his gang take to the Olympic Stadium perimeter on Sunday night.
Also on Friday night, the California troupe put on a great performance in front of the 55,000 fans in attendance as they returned to the scene of the famous 1992 Olympic Stadium riot for the first time.
