What’s everyone’s thought on this show? Crowd wise.
Thinking of flying from the states to see it.

UK is a bit strange when it comes to hard rock festival headliners doing own stadium shows. Doesn't happen often.
Metallica did 51000 at Twickenham not sold out, capacity for concerts normally about 55000. Earlier on the Hardwired tour they did 39000 over 2 nights at the O2 in London. Etihad Stadium Manchester Metallica did 40000 though capacity for gigs can go to 60000.
Last time Leppard did London attendance was 16000+ at O2, Wembley Arena sold out 12000. Motley Crue played Wembley Arena on their farewell tour, not sure attendance.
Wembley stadium for concerts holds 80000. Looking around I see The Who did 50000 a couple of years ago, Roger Waters 57000.
Think Leppard especially have been on upward curve, DSH well received. Live Nation must have a computer model which shows concert will be well attended otherwise they wouldn't put it on at Wembley as costs of staging must be huge.
Need strong third band on bill. How will cost of living changes impact? Download announcement early November so gives couple of weeks to sell tickets, especially if Metallica, GnR, Avenged are headliners.
Think attendance of 50000+ will be success. Find out in few days when seat maps go live.
I will go to concert, highlight of summer 2023.

Think attendance of 50000+ will be success. Find out in few days when seat maps go live. I will go to concert, highlight of summer 2023. You’re making out like these shows were badly attended because they weren’t sold out. The stadiums may have a capacity for a football match that doesn’t reflect what the capacity will be for a concert. These bands are doing stadiums for a reason, because it’s financially viable and they are selling big numbers of tickets. Foo Fighters, AC/DC, GnR, Bon Jovi are regular stadium fillers in this country. As for metallica Im sure the Hardwired tour was the first time metallica have played stadiums in this country. Maiden have played the odd stadium gig too. Incidentally wasnt the Leps Hysteria o2 show sold out or close to selling out? Let’s not forget that the demand for that London show was so high that it resulted in them adding the extra Wembley arena date that subsequently sold out. Also bear in mind that the Leps last tour here in 2018 ( without a big support band) was their highest attended tour since the Adrenalize era, so there was big demand for those gigs. I think promoters have looked at those figures, looked at performance for DSH and they believe that the number back up the decision to push them to stadiums. Also this 2023 Leps tour is different, it isn’t being marketed on them alone. This is almost like a mini touring festival relying on 2 big bands and probably some decent supports acts. So people saying Leps won’t sell that many are missing the point, it’s a joint tour and I think it will sell well. I also think that Wembley probably won’t be 80,000 because there are supposedly seats on the floor which I think should reduce that a bit, plus they lose one end of the ground through the stage set up.

Hope tour huge success, full stadiums. DSH and the DL albums are triumphs. Find out more soon enough about seating maps and ticket sales. Had hoped Wembley Stadium would be general admission on the floor, maybe will be towards the back of the stadium. I will be on the floor going a bit barmy! 2018 O2 show had 16,511 out of possible 18,070 attendance. Add Wembley Arena would get more than 28000. www.theprp.com/2019/01/30/news/earnings-attendance-from-metallica-def-leppard-shows/

Seating map uses about 62% of the 80000 seats. On the football field there is seating but not sure how many in each row, how many rows. If guessing would say about 6000 seats which should mean a capacity of 55000+.
Assuming front rows of A1 to 5, B2 to 4 and many in that area will be VIP or platinum tickets. Fingers crossed can get good tickets on floor.
Hope my Live Nation early access works later this week.
Fingers xx everyone gets tickets they want.

I will mot likely go to this one and stay in England for a week or two afterwards.
Not a big fan of stadium shows, but show is just to special to not attend imo.

Finally managed to get in on the presale this morning. I havent bought tickets yet. The ones towards the front were too expensive. The ones in the front block that were cheaper were too far out to the sides of the pitch and tbh I'd be worried that I had a crappy view.
Whats frustrating is that you can't pick the block you want to go in, it just searches for 'best available' in that price zone. They are clearly putting the most expensive tickets up first for the fans who want those which is fair enough, but the cheaper ones were in areas that I wouldn't want to sit.

Bad form for Live Nation not putting up seat maps. Hope they are available when I book, as people expect seat maps now. Always a drag to buy tickets without seat map, then seat map appears!

Its ticketmaster and I was using the app, somehow when I was searching for Sheffield tickets I managed to stumble across a map to pick seats from. No idea how I did, maybe I'm just a dad techo-phobe, but it was very welcome to help with seat choice.

An incredibly smooth process through the Rock Brigade presale to get my tickets this morning. I went straight into the 'Waiting Room' at 10 a.m. 5 minutes later, a great result - 'Premium Package' - Section A4 (Viv's side), 5th Row. Laminate, VIP early check in and merchandise. £265 with all fees. Rows 4, 3 and 2 were 'Gold VIP' at £1,750 and Row 1 was £2,053. All things considered, I have done very well. I hope that you were able to get what you wanted.

Got my Wembley tickets sorted. However I'm going to have a rant about ticketmaster.
I noticed that initially they weren't giving you the option of choosing your own seat, so basically they find the 'best available' seats for you in whichever area you select (floor seating, level 1 or level 2), if you don't like them then they'll search again on your behalf and its like a roulette as to where you end up.
However after about 90 mins of the presale starting I noticed that they then allow you to go and pick your own seat from the plan. But what they've done is mark up the seat cost by saying the seat price is now based on 'demand', so seats I paid £139 for are now priced at £163 and this trend was the same for tickets elsewhere. Basically ticketmaster are marking up tickets that haven't even hit general sale yet and are making even more of a profit on them by claiming its because of 'demand'.
I also noticed that livenation were only selling blocks closer to the back of the stadium, maybe this is a selling policy to make you think the tickets are selling faster than anticipated and you've got to make do with a poorer seat? Maybe they're trying to fill these areas first? Its going to be interesting to have a look tomorrow at what goes up on general sale because at the moment you would think the demand is very high for this show based on the presale alone.

Ticketmaster is easily one of my least favorite entities that exists today....Right there with airlines and the cable companies lol. They are definitely very shady with their practices and are not fan friendly in any way. I'm not sure they're very artist friendly either. The least enjoyable aspect of every show I attend these days is usually the ticket buying process. Got my Wembley tickets sorted. However I'm going to have a rant about ticketmaster.

Floor almost sold out. If you look at the available seats there is almost a pattern about seats in rows in the various sections. If you assume ticket availability is true based on the blue dots, then would say 47000+ tickets out of a guesstimate 56000 which went on sale have been sold, which is magnificent.

Guys, is it a fact that its all seated on the floor.. no standing at all? I looked at tickets this morning but held off as couldn't see any standing tickets.
I hate sitting down at these shows but wanted to be sure there were no standing tickets available when this goes on general sale
