We study the axisymmetric response of a complete spherical shell under homogeneous compressive pressure p to an additional point force. For a pressure p below the classical critical buckling pressure p(c), indentation by a point force does not lead to spontaneous buckling but an energy barrier has to be overcome. The states at the maximum of the energy barrier represent a subcritical branch of unstable stationary points, which are the transition states to a snap-through buckled state. Starting from nonlinear shallow shell theory, we obtain a closed analytical expression for the energy barrier height, which facilitates its effective numerical evaluation as a function of pressure by continuation techniques. We find a clear crossover between two regimes: For p/p(c),
