Quote from: BobbyAxelrod on May 27, 2025, 04:05:23 PMEnded up buying a snake pit ticket for Cardiff for a cool £650 (one night only for that city).

I'd rather have had the two nights in Dublin for £1050, but I guess I'm lucky to get one at all.

It seems like a lot, but it is deffo worth it.
You could have bought a fucking car instead  :laugh:

Pretty shit car for £650. My current one is worth a couple of grand at least and it's ten years old.

QuoteThat doesn't just seem like a lot, that IS a lot. €775 for one ticket!?  :-[

Eh, people will spend that on a phone.

Like, the view can be pretty class. Took this in Munich.

Well worth spending a fortune to get that close and still watch it through your phone  :laugh:

Dubbed audio, surely? The guitars are panned hard left and right, not sure any phone can do that on a mix coming through a PA.

 :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:  yeah now that I'm watching it properly you're right  :laugh:  :-[

Unfortunately not  :)

I took the pro audio they released and synced it.

Here's phone audio from another vid: https://youtu.be/UL4YESgOtSg?si=cxf_tjrsW87GrhOO

They do have their own mini PAs directed back into the snake pit, which may mean the sound is better, but idk. For a few songs, Lars' snare would fucking bounce back off the stadium steps or something, causing an annoying half a second echo.

I might just wait till the 25th of July and try for a single ticket. I'm not fussed about going both nights.

Well, that was exactly my point.... there are lots of things that €775 can buy!

Nice view alright, when you're in front of the band. The people on the other side of the stage look far less enthusiastic. Pity about all the phones too, that would wreck my head.

Look man, I'm not judging you for how you want to spend your money. I am just genuinely shocked that somebody would pay €775 on a single ticket to see Metallica, and play it off like it's not a big amount of money for what you're getting. Being charged €775 for one ticket is not cool.

Counterpoint: It's Metallica, and it's like a once in a lifetime experience (well... twice).

There's not any other band I'd do that for tbf.

Email from Metallica:
Ticketmaster has updated us on the issues experienced by many during today's Fifth Member Presale. We have been assured that full refunds have been confirmed for anyone who was charged without their order successfully going through (tickets did not appear in your Ticketmaster account after 90 minutes).

Fifth Member Fan Club Presales have been extended and will continue through until 9 AM local on Friday, 30 May. Tickets are still available across all dates.

If you missed out today, please try again using the same code you were sent originally. If you need assistance, contact Ticketmaster Fan Support for Germany, Poland, or Switzerland, or fill out a Metallica.com Support Ticket.

Unfortunately I got rid of revolut because they kept asking for tax numbers and selfie updates.
suppose I did

I have a mcd presale link I think for Thursday if you want it I got sorted

Picked up a standing ticket there. Had to go through the Samsung browser on the phone. Chrome kept opening that pile of shit TM app which just would not join the queue no matter how many times you pressed the button.

Thanks, I applied for one of those pre-sale codes myself the other day. I thought they weren't being sent out until this evening? I didn't get my one yet.

Ok maybe , might have been just an email to say I was registered
