In the spring of 2009 Metallica came to Europe with a
gigantic World Magnetic Tour with concerts in indoor arenas. After a series of
concerts in the UK (which you can read on the blog - Death Magnetic UK Tour 2009) Metallica came
to Germany. German fans could never complain about the lack of Metallica
concerts in their country. Metallica during each tour played in Germany several
times. So it was in the spring of 2009 and Metallica played in Germany mini
tour consisting of seven concerts between May 6 and 17.
• May 6th - Munchen, Olympiahalle,
• May 7th - Lepizig, Leipzig Arena,
• May 9th - Stuttgart, Hanns-Martin-Schleyer Halle,
• May 11th - Frankfurt Festhalle
• May 12th - Hamburg, Color Line Arena,
• May 16th - Oberhausen, Konig Pilsener Arena,
• May 17th - Koln, Lanxess Arena
When we add one more concert in Hockenheim on July 4th
where band played under the sign of Sonisphere Festival it is clear that the
German fans could not complain.
As for the tickets they were not particularly
beautiful when it comes to design. Regular printing of Eventim, even without a
graphic logo of Metallica. I’ve seen a nicer version (from concert in Stuttgart),
but it is very difficult to find them. The fact that the tickets were not
attractive appearance was in my opinion an impact on that people do not care
about them. A large part of the concert tickets from that tour with whom I had to deal with
was in a very bad condition (folded, crumpled, dirty etc..).
