New shit in my collection #14

The first new tickets in this year, rather late, but better late than never.

Above ticket from the first of two consecutive concerts that took place in the Top Hat, (Dublin, Ireland). I love all Metallica tickets from 80’s.

I know it may seem strange but find that ticket it was a real pain in the ass. Strange because it’s  relatively “young” ticket. A similar situation in my case with a ticket from concert, which took place a week later in Erfurt, Germany - never seen it.

A ticket from the second Metallica concert in the framework of the event Jailhouse Rock in Horsens prison. I had in my collection e-ticket from that concert, now I was able to get a hard ticket.

Ticket from a Canadian Quebec City from 2015. This was the last concert that took place in the hall of Colisee Pepsi in general. During their career, Metallica played there a total of eight times.

This ticket is from the last so far Metallica concert. The event was organized by CBS, it was called The Night Before and held in the hometown of Metallica San Francisco.

At the end I wish you all Happy Easter.

"Will Call" envelopes

Today's blog post will be about the "will call" envelopes. Certainly often you purchased tickets to a concert and as a form of personal reception chosen to receive them before the concert where they were waiting for you just in "will call" envelope. From Wikipedia: "Will call refers to a method of delivery for (purchased) goods where the customer picks up the goods at the seller's place of business, primarily in North American commerce. The word "call" is a shortened form of "call for" which means "to come and get", so "will call" literally means "(the customer) will call (come and) get (the goods).”

It is still in wide use for ticket sales at the box offices or at large venues as a indoor stadiums or arenas, where you can find "Will Call" pickup windows. The method of receiving tickets and envelopes are most prevalent in the United States, but not only. Currently, tickets in cool envelopes may be obtained at the shops / music stores etc. around the world. A separate category are special envelopes in which we can pick up before the concert VIP packages. Then usually envelope design refers to the artist / band. Envelopes and tickets You can see at my blog, refer of course to Metallica.
