New shit in my collection #10

This is the last topic in my blog this year. Traditionally begin with the oldest of the new tickets in my collection. This time it's about really old ticket because of a concert which took place on August 22, 1983 in Tyler on tour Kill Em All For One. I must admit that at first I had concerns about the authenticity of this ticket, it surprised me even perfect condition. My fears dispelled my friend and Metallica ticket collector stating that I have no reason to worry.
Kill Em All For One

Next ticket comes from Damage Inc. Tour during which Metallica supported Ozzy Osbourne. You can see that the ticket was printing ink with glitter - I have a few similar Metallica tickets, most of the second half of the 80's.

Unused ticket from July 22, 1989 from Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford during the Damaged Justice Tour.

I was looking for that ticket for a long time. It is a ticket to the third consecutive concert in Rosemont Horizon in Chicago where Metallica played three nights in a row during the tour Wherever We Roam 91-92 May.

Ticket from Summer Shit Tour 94. This is not really a new ticket in my collection. This one is just a whole and in better shape than previously held.

The last two tickets are from a ticket presale for Metclub members (those are Metclub tickets) and comes from two concerts at The Forum in Los Angeles during American leg of the World Magnetic Tour.

At the end I wish You all a happy New Year 2015 and only rare tickets, posters, flyers, records etc. in Your collections.

Monsters of Rock 1987

In late summer of 1987 Metallica played in Germany two concerts during the European Monsters of Rock Tour. These were two big concerts in Nürnberg (29 August) and Pforzheim (30 August). Tickets from both concerts I have in my collection for a long time. Both tickets have a very similar design and beyond the basic information about the show were different background color. The ticket from Nürnberg had bright green background and a ticket from Pforzheim bright pink. For a long time it was the only type of tickets from these concerts that appeared on the Internet. Earlier this year, I found a ticket from Pforzheim, who had a background in dark pink. It was something new but not yet sparked my interest. A few days ago I was able to buy a ticket from Nürnberg, who has a background in dark green. Both the two tickets from Pforzheim and from Nürnberg have the same information and differ only in the shade of the background color. I suspect that this may involve standing and seated tickets but none of the information on the ticket does not provide this. It is interesting that the two tickets with a darker shade of color have a low three-digit serial numbers. From my experience I know that tickets with low serial numbers (from the beginning of the series) were tickets given to promoter, bands quests etc. If anyone has any information about these tickets please send me message.

Metallica logo over the years

During today's session of the tickets I found a ticket from June 8, 2006 in Arnhem, the Netherlands. It was one of the shows so-called Escape From The Studio.

All in one

Metallica logo designed for this ticket consists of various Metallica logo that has evolved over the years. I mean, of course, only variations on the original logo without the hundreds of computer logo differing only used a standard font. I decided to look through my tickets in the search for different Metallica logo. Below pictures of the most interesting. Boring or not, look what I found.
