Cygnus 2112 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 No Western Canada shows :( And by that I mean BC, Alberta. No way I'm travelling to Saskatoon or Winnipeg Last summer they did a stadium tour that hit a lot of the bigger markets. Did they play anything in Western Canada last year? If they did then that's probably why there's no dates for you or in the bay area (Earl brought that one up). This tour is hitting a lot of the secondary cities they haven't been to in a long time. Yes they played Vancouver and Edmonton last year, and I saw the Edmonton show. Would love to see them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus 2112 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I haven't seen Metallica since the '98 Reload Tour, but then again they've been pretty scarce around KC. I wasn't about to drive 8 hours round trip last year to STL to hear Lars NOT play double-bass. But, I gotta go this time. But WTF??!!! I seriously have to lay down money A FULL YEAR before they come here? Tix go on sale 3/2/18 and they play KC 3/6/19! The chrome plated balls on those f***s. For those of you that don't get Metallica--particularly their first 4 albums...you are mental midgets. I bought tickets for Roger Waters on October 21st 2016, for his show October 28th 2017. I agree, anything longer than six months is a long time to wait for a concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These big acts are grossing a million bucks a show and turning around an investing that money for 6-12 mos before they even come to town. So anyway....anyone know who might be opening?

Where are you trying to buy tickets from?KeyBank Center's website Wow, if they're charging that much for the upper level then where are the $65 seats that are listed on the site? I'm not sure I'll be going to this show now. My brother got shut out on three of the presales and they're charging that much for the upper level? I'd love to see them again but it just doesn't seem worth it. Maybe I can luck out and get something cheap on stub hub as the show gets close.

Dang...I mean I would love to see them play literally anything so... They always put on a good show. But it's hard to find a band worse than Anthrax when it comes to being pathetically lazy with the set selections. At least Metallica supports their new album live when it's well received and rotate four or five old school songs every show. Anthrax puts no effort into it at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bootlegguy Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I logged on at sale time to try to buy saskatoon tickets today, even 1. and you couldn't buy any lowers or floor for face other then the stupid $600 Whiplash package. I can't believe the last time they played there in 2004 I only paid $60 for floors, and the cad/usd was horrible at the time. I would NEVER spend $500 to see metallica lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would NEVER spend $500 to see metallica lol This seems to be an issue with all big arena shows over the last few years. Too many presales and bots then people don't have a chance when tickets "officially" go on sale. The only band who has gotten it right over the last decade is Iron Maiden. They do paperless tickets that are only available to paying fan club members for the presale. And it's always the better seats that they get first dibs on. It eliminates all the tickets getting gobbled up by the presales and scalpers. It blows my mind that hardly any other bands do this. Especially a band who's reached the status Metallica has.

For those of you that don't get Metallica--particularly their first 4 albums...you are mental midgets. I love nearly everything they have ever done Saint Anger was really the only misfire for me. Some of Reload for me...is less than good. Seriously. Metallica shot their "LOAD" after "And Justice For All." They are Bay Area sellouts at the hands of the genius Cliff Burton. MTV killed "And Justice For All" for my ears back in the day when I lived through those times. Again..... The Unholy Trilogy is: KILL EM ALLRIDE THE LIGHTINGMASTER OF PUPPETS!! I will never see them live again unless they play any one of those three albums in it's entirety. RIP CLIFF BURTON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell I knew Newstead very well. Oh the irony. Jason was a great guy. It's just Cliff was IT! I saw real Metallica. Enjoy the tired old fakes of the Now. I would rather spend my money on TOTO at The Fox this August. 40 Trips Around The Sun" Tour! Yep! I have my ticket!! third row in front of Lukather! A real guitarist. Metallica were great. They are merely cash grab posers now. Luckiest old metal band on the land. They still sell out in minutes. Good for them and the sheeple who follow such tripe. Enjoy the show!

Fordgalaxy Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Today was the opening of the regular sale in my area and there were lots of seats available but even the nose bleediest seats are $133. I'm not sure I'm willing to pay that much but they're not playing here for 9 f***ing months so there's plenty of time to decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm passing on Whitesnake to see TOTO. Same day. But I've never seen TOTO. It pisses me off I never saw TOTO with Simon. I'm taking my dad to see OZZY. Otherwise I would pass. Signed, SCREAM!

I am sure you have noticed that every ticket agency, every venue and every band are doing this. Tickets are going on sale way too early. It's as pattern in the concert biz. I think everyone is worried that musicians of old will retire or expire so they are doing the cash grab tour dates way in advance to collect the cash. Sign Of The Times. In ten years there will be nothing left. Well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed if I got on right on right at public sale time there would be some lower bowl at least. I like how foo fighters in 2015 did beat the bots and sold the floors and lower levels at a old fashioned wait in line sale. What the bands need to do is stick with the paperless thing to prevent scalping. Garth Brooks did that. I remember 2009 with Green day that floors and lowers could only be picked up day of show to prevent scalping 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
