New shit in my collection #3

Lots of new tickets so, time for some new shit in my collection.

Orion 3D pass & wristband

I really wanted to have in my collection this 3D pass from the Orion Music + More 2012 festival. Pass looks really cool and believe me the photo does not show of how cool a piece of Metallica history it is. In addition to the ticket is Metclub Ultra wristband. If someone had to sell / trade hard ticket from this edition of Orion, please contact me.

Rock me Amadeus

Another ticket is a ticket from the concert, which took place in Vienna, Sep. 6, 1996. It was the first show of the European part of the Poor Touring Me Tour. During the concert band played for the first time Bleeding Me (one of my favourite songs ever) and Wasting My Hate. For the last seven years I saw this ticket for sale just once.

Better this than nothing

Ticket from Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati from huge Black Album Tour. As a rule, I trying not to buy tickets in poor condition (like this) but this one was from trade with another collector, and I did not have it in my collection ….so, better this than nothing.

Anger from Canada

Cool Metclub ticket from Toronto (Canada) from Madly In Anger With The World Tour. I don’t know why, but when it comes to tickets from North America always more gladden me these from Canada than these from US. Well, also they are harder to find than the American.

From "Greatest Hits" set

The last of today's entry is ticket from a concert in Sofia (Bulgaria). The band was just before the release of the Death Magnetic album and played short European Tour with  "greatest hits" set of the first five albums. During these concerts, to my disappointment Metallica did not perform any songs from Load, Reload and St. Anger albums. Shame

Hungarian Metallica tickets 1988-2010

Just before Easter, I was able to get a ticket from a concert in Budapest in 1991. I thought that cool would be to write something about Metallica tickets from concerts that took place in Hungary.  I checked my collection and found that this last „Hungarian” ticket whose it was lacking in my collection. This also prompted me to write the following text.

“Please wear low-heeled shoes to protect the grass.”

1988

The first concert in Hungary was September  11, 1988 and this was the first concert during the European Damaged Tour. During this tour Metallica promoted their  new album …And Justice For  All and in Budapest band performed for the first time Eye Of The Beholder, Blackened,… And Justice For All and One. The ticket from concert is very rare and difficulty to find in good condition because was printed on the thin paper. Every copy without tears, bends and stains is a good hit. Unfortunately my copy will not surrender to classify as the good hit. One of the Metallica fans from Hungary of whom I have this ticket was very nice and translated to me the original Hungarian text printed at the ticket. Part of this text reads “Please wear low-heeled shoes to protect the grass.”

The world domination was yet to come

1991

Metallica returned to Hungary three years later during the huge tour Monsters Of Rock 1991 when they supported AC/DC. For me to find and get this ticket it was a pain in the ass.  This was first time when I saw this ticket in stock and I knew that I could not squander such opportunity. On the most of European tickets from this tour AC/DC logo is this which dominates in the graphic design of the ticket and the Metallica name was mentioned lower-case letters - on this ticket You don’t find Metallica name at all. The world domination was yet to come.

Gold logo rules

1993

When in 1993 I was in Bratislava (Slovakia) on my own first Metallica concert, I was not conscious that only just the day later band plays concert not distant Budapest. The show was part of  Nowhere Else then Roam Tour which was a last leg of the mammoth tour promoting Metallica bestselling album till now - Black Album. For me this is the nicest ticket from Hungarian concerts. The golden Metallica logo does the really large impression. Two or three years ago in the short time several these tickets appeared in stock on ebay, but generally one does not see their too often on sale.

Mint and unused since 1999

1999

The next ticket  dated  1999 is from the Garage Inc. Tour.  On the ticket so as on the most of tickets from the European leg of this world tour is visible the photo from the Garage Inc. album cover.  This ticket was for sale on ebay for a long time in the set with other tickets from this Tour. And though the price of the set was a bit high then the middle price for the ticket went out rather little. Very nice, unused ticket with great design.

At least it has classic Metallica logo

2010

The last Metallica concert in Hungary was in 2010. Like all previous held in Budapest.  I got this ticket from other Metallica tickets collector. Since this is ticket from Eventim, this is not surprising that the ticket design is not very interesting and limited to basic information about the event. The only advantage, in contrast to many other tickets from the same tour is to put on the ticket classic Metallica logo.

All together now. Different years - various sizes
