My collection increased just for the ticket from the concert in Dortmund (autumn-winter tour 1992) and would be in this nothing special because I have already in my collection the ticket from this concert. Easy, I’m not at the point where I buy doubles or triples copy of the same ticket. I wanted to have this ticket resolved the fact that he looked otherguess than that which I already have. Because ticket had additionally interesting design I thought that would be cool to have this ticket in my collection.
Old one at top and new addiction below ....both nice
I remember the situation of which I witnessed during my second meeting with the band in 2009 in Vienna. Already then as the collector I adverted on tickets of remaining fans, because my personal ticket on this concert did not belong unfortunately to too interesting. Most stranger was for me the fact that from about 20 persons waiting for Metallica had been about 8 different examples of tickets !!!. Besides most popular tickets from Eventim were also tickets bought at national distributors in Germany, Bulgaria, Czech Republic etc. In the situation when lucky winners on meet & greet consisted of representatives of several European countries and every from them bought the ticket at his own national distributor should not surprise the fact so many different examples of tickets on one concert.
In the 80’s and at the beginning of the 90’s (in times before the Internet) all tickets at concerts were the same. Of course, I remember single situations when on one or two Metallica shows at the beginning of 80’s were two different tickets but this were single situations. Internet and buying on-line brought to the situation that we dealt with many different tickets. Much „worse” the matter looks with e-tickets - tickets sent to buyers as a file in PDF format to printing on the home printer.
and hard ticket from the same show ....a little bit nicer, but still far from my TOP wanted
In times of the computerization and the standardization of tickets gladdens the fact that in some countries (like in Poland) comes back to the sale of short limited series of collecting tickets with very nice design (sad that not comes with Metallica tickets).
