Very saucy ,but they know well that they will easily get it .

They are like U2 now ,more a corporation than a band.

Aiming for Glasgow

Booked a hotel next door to the arena just there for €67 for the night

What did we do to them here in Ireland ??

Gig prices have obviously increased significantly, but we should factor in that these bands are receiving much far less from album sales with Spotify, illegal downloading etc.
(Depending on your age), if you factor in what you pay to listen to music now, as opposed to 10 years ago, for me anyway there’s a difference of up around €1,000 a year.
I’m still careful as to what I will dish my money out for. Wouldn’t pay €100 for Metallica or Eddie Vedder. Love them, have seen them before, would love to see them again, but anything up around the €100 is too much for me. Will pay €40 for Future Islands, Alt J etc for Trinity gigs. Thinking of parting with €70 for Iron Maiden, but being a bit stubborn on that one – overpriced. I much prefer my Vicar St gigs for €20/€30.

interesting to see they don't play two shows in successive nights, that probably also has an impact on the ticket prices.

As their preferred gig set up is "in the round", Dublin simply doesn't have a suitable venue.

First time in over a decade they do an indoor tour...
(this might explain the high prices this time)
So, why not play the point?

Marley '08 was sold out
Marley '07 felt 50% to 60% sold.
(is this the reason they never came back?)

They played 2 nights at the odyssey in May 2010.
The 3 arena isn't suitable for their in the round stage set up.

Tallica's 96 show in the Point was in the round and worked out great. If U2 can make the O3 work for I+e then so can SF's finest.

From looking at a few videos of Metallica's recent gigs in Copenhagen ,their setup seems very simplistic .
Its a small stage in the centre of the arena with no video screens or major rigging.

If U2 and Muse can get their much more advanced and bigger 360 setups into the 3arena then there is no reason Metallica cant .

They played two 'in the round' gigs in the SSE Arena in Belfast a few years back.

Arnold Layne

Thinking back to the days of £8 in the Top Hat for the ...And Justice For All Tour, with Danzig as backup.

I've seen them many times but that was the best.

Jofspring

I'd pay €110 if it had been the same as the American Tour. Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold and Volbeat.

A good 3 weeks open in thta schedule, could easilybe added. It would be nice to see them indoors again

It says "please note that no additional shows will be added in this part of the world in the immediate future, so you can plan your own leg of the tour now" on their website so unless 'the immediate future' gives them licence to add more dates later, I'd say that's all the gigs there'll be.

Best concert I ever went to. Couldn't lift my head for a few days after though due to excessive headbanging :eek:

Got Lars' cup that he drank Coke from too

They might play the leeds/reading festival in August 2018 and we might get a warm up gig in Marley Park or something but looks like they may take summer 2018 off or do another US Tour

It's nothing against us Irish it's just business

Standing tickets for the US outdoor leg are an astronomical 180 bucks though.
110 euro for indoor standing is a bargain in comparison (well its not really ,its still very expensive).

wolfyboy555

What prices are tickets in the other European cities like Germany Italy France etc?

I was at the Cirque Du Soleil in the 3 earlier this year and that was very much an "in the round" show. They just had seating on the floor that circled the stage. No reason why they couldnt do it for Metallica with the floor standing then the normal tiered seating.

Muse did exactly that for their 360 stage in April.
Not sure what the capacity in this setup would be ,but it would surely be over 11k.

Metallica are primarily interested in money so perhaps the capacity isnt high enough to interest them.

greenspurs

6 weeks free between Cologne and London ... they might be ar$ed to come here ?
It's seems to be all about the money with M€tallic$ ....

Zwillinge

Well, I'm tempted to go for Manchester.
Anyone know any presale codes? Or discount codes?

Metallica would have a bigger stage than that ,but judging by the Belfast footage from 2010 something that size is doable in the 3 arena.

If its something the scale of cunning stunts or the through the never film , probably not. Metallica are not gonna go out of their way to make it work like the U2 did ,its not their home town.

Absolutely shocking price with shoddy support in tow, whats gets me is if you've never seen them I'd say go but who is that younger fans? For the most part its those that have seen them multiple times who have the money to spend on this overpriced 2017 version of Metallica. Has a knock on effect on affording to support bands who'd value your money more which is what I'd rather do.

So anyway with that said Z, if you truly want my pre-sale code throw me a PM as I clearly won't be using. (It's 2 tickets per code)

PTH2009

The ticket price is expensive but I was prepared for it as I was expecting to be travelling too see them

For Glasgow Seated Ticket will cost me about €130 approx, Hotel is €91 for the night, flights about €50 , about €300 spending money. In hindsight it's a lot of money for a day trip but it's my version of a sun holiday and I have the opportunity to travel

I feel ya man. Caught Lars' Drumstick in Frankfurt 1992...
Two seconds after catching it, there were around twenty hands on it trying to take it from me, so I quickly squatted and crawled a few meters back to secure it. Good times! It's still on my wall in the man cave among other memorabilia caught at gigs over the years...
