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 ??

flasher0030

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.

poundhound

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?

Liam McPoyle

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...

Based on the ticketmaster seating plan for the Metallica shows it looks like it should fit into the venue alright. Although I can see the logistics of having very few fans one side then everyone the other not working too well, which stage design wise didn't affect Muse!

zweton

which stadium would be better to catch them, manchester or glasgow?

im living in edinburgh so glasgow is obviously closer but is manchester stadium any better or all the same?

Was in both arenas in the past. Manchester Arena is an ice hockey type arena and the Hydro in Glasgow is a dome type arena but both places are class venues with supurb views and sound (saw Motley Crue in Manchester and WWE in The Hydro but heard the sound for gig's is amazing there). Glasgow for me but the stage design of Metallica's show will be good no matter where you see it

€300 spending money for a day trip in Glasgow??

Wooderson

Hydro is a stunning venue for Metallica. Recommended.

Greg81

Manchester Arena is a great venue. Was there on Limp Bizkit/Korn and Green Day. Sound was great. Highly recommended.

Work out at about £250 Merch at show, transport from/back top Airport, food/drink etc

A T-shirt at a UK show could cost £35 or more

wolfyboy555

Anyone been to Genting Arena in Birmingham? Thing I might go for that one! Date suits me best.

Well maiden sold out so unfortunately it will be impossible to get a secondary ticket., and this show will be one to rrmember. paperless requires credit card upon entry., metsllica are all about the big arenas now, i read it in a interview with lars, anything smaller than 15 thousand or so will not happen easily, its all about filling their pockets before the door slams shut. When i seen them in rds back in 2003 i swore never again, just the way lars played and has done so since has me hating the live performance, he can't even open up with creeping death normally anymore, its a silly snare role he comes out with rather than the big tom role into it.. very lazy performer ever since. And i refuse to pay to watch somebody under perform when they are getting paid so much. I'm guaranteed a great performance from maiden and im paying less for it to. Also regardless of ticket sales every band is paid in advance for their shows.. its not based on how many tickets they sell, they could sell 100 and still get paid their asking price of say 1 million. Its the promotion companies etc that charge the ticket price to make back what they paid the band already plus booking expenses etc.. and if they dont make back what they spent then they will not offer metallica to play here because they are not convinced they will make back a profit. Bands dont decide where to play necessarily, they are approached by the promotion companies of that country to offer them a price for playing, its business.. and its at times complicated.. metallica just announce they are ready to tour and then offers come in from countries promotion companies. So its not we done something that they won't play here, its the promotion companies that won't push for them to come here.

Well you wont be getting a secondary ticket for any of Metallicas UK gigs either

To assist in the prevention of resale, the name of the lead booker who places the order will be printed on each ticket for this concert. In order to gain entry to the venue, ticket holders will be asked to present PHOTO ID matching the name printed on their order. This means that each ticket purchaser must enter the concert at the same time as his or her guests.

Wow...... Thats hardcore !!!
I loved Met, but feel they have become , i dunno, less relevant to music today than they have been . (waiting for abuse)
Their legacy shaped a lot of rock music, and their setlists at gigs reflects that, (lots of early stuff played).
If they did come here , im doubtful that i would pay that much for a ticket, considering they will play 75/80% of the songs i have seen them play 8/10 times previously...

I'd imagine all the gigs will sell out within a few hours of going on sale.

PTH2009

Pic from one of the dannish shows (with the expected Euro tour stage setup). That setup would work in the 3arena , no big screen either


The setup from the Asian leg of the tour earlier this year would also suite the 3arena (and looks a lot cooler than the round stage)

snoopy84

I'm considering travelling over to the UK but have no idea where would be best to see them. I'm also considering just heading back to airport after gig and a few drinks. Any recommendations?
