Hokie ClubGet ready for an unforgettable night at Lane Stadium as Metallica takes the stage for their M72 World Tour on Wednesday night. We’ve got key items below to ensure you're fully prepared to rock!
1. Mobile Tickets and Entry Process (see map)
Lane Stadium is a cashless venue, and all tickets for the event are digital. Ensure your mobile ticket is downloaded to your phone before arriving to expedite entry. The stadium has tap-and-go ticket pedestals for a quick scanning process, so be prepared with your ticket accessible on your mobile device. Remember, all patrons, regardless of age, need a valid ticket to enter.
We highly encourage guests to arrive early, with gates opening at 4 p.m. ET. Please allow extra time for the magnetometer screening, bag checks and ticket scanning. Fans with field level tickets MUST enter through the southwest and southeast tunnels, located on either side of gate 2. Fans with tickets in the seating bowl can enter through any other gate available, except Gate S which is specifically for students with North Endzone ticket(s).
To expedite your entry process, please ensure your ticket is downloaded on your phone before arriving at the venue. For any customer service needs, the box office (located by Gate 4 on Beamer Way) will open at 3 p.m.
The best way to access your tickets is through the HokieSports App. Through the mobile app, click "Tickets" in the bottom right, followed by "Manage My Tickets" to download and transfer tickets. Click here for more details on mobile ticketing.
