A few days ago, looking through my collection (again - why did I’m not surprised?) and drew attention to the fact that some of them in addition to basic information about the concert and the artist, included are various other interesting annotations. So today's topic is "interesting, funny, annoying annotations on tickets." I think I chose the few most interesting (for me) cases, which also show how changed over the years to participate in a concert with all the pros and cons.
2 drink minimum
If there were a machine to move in time I think it would be fun to see in 1982 Metallica concert. In addition to the pleasure of watching a nascent legend, ticket holders were given two drinks. It is now possible only in the VIP area, where it let's face it, fun is not too cool. I Would like this ticket in my collection, but unfortunately I am not the owner. It comes only from my collection of scans of tickets, which counts more than 1,600 scans.

God Bless You
Belgian Heavy Sound Festival was the third major festival, which Metallica performed in 1984 in Europe. Performed there with such legends as Motorhead and Mercyful Fate. At the ticket outside the typical restrictions for large events, we have to do with "God’s blessing". This is for all those stray sheep, which, instead of to the church hit the hellish event.. Anyway - God bless you. Scan the ticket taken from the web.

Another nice ticket from the concert in Clarkston, Michigan (21 July 1986) where Metallica was support for Ozzy Osbourne. Like many other concerts bringing alcohol and glass bottles for safety reasons contractors are prohibited. But no one forbids drinking before and after the concert. Organizer of the concert with a view to the safe return of the fans after the concert to the house warned: don’t drink and drive
Don't drink and drive
No opening act
American tour after the release of Metallica's "Black Album" was just a Metallica concert and not in addition five other bands. I admit that I miss it right now. The exception for me was the "Big 4" tour where happy to listen to and watched all four bands. Looking back, however, the endorsement "Metallica - no opening act" would be actually a very pleasant surprise for me.

Body surfing - one of the signs that the audience has fun and the concert is successful. In an age when half the audience is standing with cameras and phones, recording every move the band on stage phenomenon of body surfing practically ceased to exist. Currently, it is prohibited in most concerts.
This ticket is my favorite ticket in this episode. As for me, the words "Their show, Their Stage, Their rulz" This reflects the philosophy of Metallica concert. Let's do it on our or fuck off.
WTF? Special guest James Hetfield?. Yes. Such information on tickets appeared in 2000 when as a result of back problems, James was unable to play three concerts during the Summer Sanitarium Tour in July 2000. When he returned to the game with the team some tickets in August, has been bearing the text "Special Guest James Hetfield". I must admit it was a very important guest at concerts:).
It is not even funny, it's sad. No MOSHING at Metallica concert???. Where I am ….at Justin Bieber concert ???
Sometimes a few pictures says more than 100 words. A ticket from Copenhagen Lars hometown of the first of the five nights concert in the Forum. Without comment.
More than words
Very interesting angle on tickets here Mariusz, really enjoyed reading this!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment and kind words. I was on your blog and I saw some very interesting Metallica concert posters. Recently I managed to get some interesting and unusual tickets. I will write about them in the next blog post.
DeleteTwo drink minimum doesn't mean that you get two free drinks with your ticket, it means that you must buy a minimum of two drinks. You pay for both drinks upon entering the venue, and you're handed two drink tickets.
