So I hear that Metallica is coming back to Vancouver with Godsmack, and I think right on, until I found out that floor tickets are $95.50cdn + service charges!!!
Metallica's greed is absolutely disgusting, no band should charge anywhere near that for one of their shows. If this was an all day festival gig or something it would be fine but this is a 2 band arena show!
Needless to say I wont be going to this one, I just had to vent at the rediculous ticket price. Talk about gouging your fans. Compare that to Pearl Jam earlier this year in the same venue, tickets were only $39. Thats a band that respects its fans unlike Metallica who try and get every single penny they can.
Sure Metallica is a 'superband' and can commmand big bucks but come on, show a little respect for your fans. Its really hard to be sympathetic to artists who, arguably, lose money from downloading when they show no sympathy to their fans.
