Title: Did anyone see Metallica at the o2 Arena last night?
Post by: Crazy_Joe on September 16, 2008, 02:36:51 PM
£5 a ticket, i was in the upper tier seats because standing and lower tier sold out in minutes, i thought being that high up would suck, but it was epic!

They had the cool stage where it's right in the middle and everyone gathers round it. Solid performance too. Played quite a bit of Death Magnetic and we also got a few unusual ones like Until it Sleeps, Jump in the fire and the almighty BLACKENED.

Got a few pics, was pissed so they are really rubbish haha.

Before the gig:

Hmm not what my friends said who went, oh well. Don't really like Metallica anyway :P. Looks like a cool stage setup though!

if the tickets sold out in mins then you had to be a premium member or something, the tickets were all sold out by the time the "free" members got a chance.

Nah i was a free member and i got them, so did my other mates. In fact when i turned up at my towns train station there were loads of people there who went who i know aren't platinum members. It was fairly easy to get tickets if you were a free member, but to get standing/lower tier tickets was a bitch.
