They were for sale at the merch stand down the bottom of the hill after the show , I should have got 1 but we decided to start walking
They put a few on the website and the artist site the day after but were gone in minutes

Right click on the album, and it should show edit album info, click that and there should be an add artwork option. Video here for help.

My concern was with Ticketmaster who stayed faceless and rude with their response to me but MCD were so different in their approach... Maybe it's because it affects so many people...I remember when the zone A thing started and MCD came out and apologised and Ticketmaster said that you could change your tickets for a fee and now it turns out that they took extra money off people for no reason...
Anyway, I'm happy that MCD acknowledged my concern and I will continue to question Ticketmaster for taking money that they didn't need to...imagine, if even 1000 people uprgraded from zone A to general standing then Ticketmaster and MCD pocketed an extra 10,000 for the day...I don't think personally they should get away with that ..

Just to get back to you about this as I haven't been on in a few days.

I did the same and forwarded the same concerning email to MCD and their response was much better.
Genuine apologies and a promise to send the VIP package so we'll see what happens there..

This was the reply:

"Many thanks for your email, and your continued patience in relation to this matter. I wish to outline the following.



Zone A Standing was original intended as pre-sale, early-bird ticket purchase for an area at the rear of the venue. In the week leading up to the event taking place, this was no longer practically possible and the two areas merged. I hope this did not impede your enjoyment of the Metallica concert at Slane Castle. On behalf of MCD, we apologise for any inconvenience caused here, and hope you enjoyed the Metallica concert as there appears to have been a most positive response to the show.



Taking the above into consideration, and as a gesture of goodwill, I am happy to send you on an exclusive Metallica VIP package, including some unique items from the Worldwired tour. I assure you MCD is committed to delivering a high level of customer service, and we are grateful for all feedback received from customers at our events.



Please also confirm postal details and I will organise to issue your complimentary tickets at earliest convenience. Once again, apologies for the delay in replying here, and I look forward to hearing from you.



Once more, I welcome your feedback provided here, and should you have any further questions or queries in relation to MCD – Produced shows, please do not hesitate to contact me, and I will be more than happy to assist."

Glad that MCD acknowledged your concern mimimcmc... They did send me out a VIP package aswell and apologised for the inconveniences caused, fingers crossed you will get yours..

Ticketmaster did apologise in the end aswell but still said that it had nothing to do with them...Hopefully this will be the end of Zone A tickets in Slane and fans won't get caught out like we did...

I’m currently awaiting a response about this .... still think we should get refunded though, we bought four tickets so forty quid out of pocket for nothing is a bit of a kick in the gut

I agree, I would probably prefer the refund but I don't think MCD are that way inclined... but sure it's better than nothing..

limabromac

Yep i bought 4 tickets too but Ticketmaster were adamant that it wasn't their issue...after slot of emails to them they just apologised and said they I need to pursue this with MCD... It's a joke as initially we had the zone A and then cancelled them and upgraded to the standing area so the credit card got hit with two lots of transactions and had to wait for around a week for the zone A money to get refunded....im just happy it was acknowledged at all and that they apologised...

Yeah I reget not picking up one of those too.

Didn't expect the gift poster to last make it home in one piece but I got lucky.

What frames did ye get for gig posters? I've a few I need to get done, but sizing is bit awkward.

phantom_lord

Those posters are a fairly standard 24" x 18"

kg703

I just got the same response re: Metallica gift bag.

You need to contact customercare@mcd.ie

I'll update when I get another response because I don't think it's satisfactory really

kg703

Also they said that the zone A was an 'early bird' offer.....

I'm pretty sure that 'offer' was still there in the run up to the gig?

Fair play ... did MCD throw in the radiator too ? ... gotta be worth more than a tenner :pac:

limabromac

I emailed Ticketmaster before Slane and was told that zone A is still going ahead....they were adamant that MCD didn't inform them that zone A was dropped and were so unhelpful.... The justice warrior part of me even sent them an early message when I got into Slane to say that zone A was no where to be seen and they replied with 'MCD have the right to change the venue at the last minute should they so wish...'.Zone A was never an early bird... It's not cool that they swindled money out of alot of people but it's just brushed under the carpet because they are big faceless corporations...at least MCD have acknowledged somehow but how many people lost money on this you'd wonder ..

Yeah the early bird thing is a load of nonsense, it was advertised as a separate area and nothing else.

Where did you guys contact MCD?

All I can see is a form on their contact us page

after my reply from MCD, I said this to them too

"I wasn't aware those tickets were intended for pre-sale/early bird as they were never advertised like this and were put on general sale, and as far as I can remember were on sale like this up until the week of the gig.
It just felt a bit like pulling the wool over 60 odd thousand people's eyes as for an extra 10 euro each.."

I haven't had a reply since, but it did take nearly a week to get the first reply so...
