Death Magnetic German Tour 2009

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..).

New shit in my collection #8

Time for new tickets from last weeks. Presented chronologically, from oldest to newest.

The first one is from the 1989 in Noblesville, Indiana. Graphically nothing great but I consistently completes all the tickets from 1989, one of my favorite periods of Metallica.

 

Another ticket from 1989 in Roanoke, Virginia. Full ticket, but the color faded a little. I don’t know why some sources (eg Metlist) give the date of the concert August 9, 1989 - day later than the date on the ticket shown above. Someone knows something about this?

 

 

In very good condition ticket from Oklahoma City from Live Shit Tour in 1994. Some of US tickets are two-color and one color means the shape of the state where is concert. In this case, Oklahoma State. Interesting. I'm sure I've seen other states shape on tickets. Should I write about it in future.

 

 

The ticket from Woodstock festival in 1994. Do you remember how Metallica concert started? Announcer - We are sorry, but Metallica will not be making tonight ...... then James from backstage - Fuck You ... ..Breadfannnn. From this concert comes my favorite version of Seek and Destroy. Almost 11 minute jam with part that is reminiscent of what we hear two years later in the song The Oulaw Torn. Listen to yourselves.

 

Fuck You ....Breadfannnnnn

Another ticket from Portugal from one of my favorite series tickets - European Poor Touring Me Tour ‘96.

 

 

Another two tickets come from 2009 - from Stockholm. While the first concert was held on March 7 as planned, the second day was canceled due to poisoning by James oysters. The concert was moved and held on 4 May of the same year.

In the end I managed to be the lucky owner of a second ticket with the first Metallica visit in China. Thus, both tickets from China are in my collection.

 

 

Last ticket today is quite exotic. It comes from the concert, which was held in 2013 in Jakarta, Indonesia. Tickets from this part of the world are hard to find and even more so in such good condition as this one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

500 !!!

"500". Although this is my first post on this blog is titled "500". The explanation for this is simple. I get my ticket number "500" to the collection. Collection of Metallica tickets. It took a little bit but eventually gathered into himself to write about my passion and I think now is the good time to start the adventure on this blog and share with you what turns me on. For the sake of formality I add that this jubilee ticket is a ticket from Sonisphere festival in Knebworth in 2009. Pretty big ticket (scan below). Thats all for first entry here. The next entry will be extensive and will be about ... you'll see soon.

PS.  because my English is not perfect, please be understanding.
