REMINDER: Metallica tickets on sale TOMORROW at noon; Helpful buying tips.

Metallica tickets will go on-sale for their Halifax show on Citadel Hill TOMORROW, Thursday May 12 at noon ADT. This is sure to be an amazing show, and will be remembered for the rest of our lives. Tickets could however, become limited as this show is expected to sell out fast. The show takes place on July 14th.

“With a headlining International artist like Metallica headlining our event, tickets will be in huge demand so it is important to understand how to access tickets when they go on sale tomorrow. The following will detail how to access tickets to what promises to be a fantastic event” said Michele MacKay from Rock the Hill.

Here’s the deal, waiting in a lineup, trying to call the charge line, or going to a “outlet” such as a grocery store just doesn’t cut it anymore. The way to purchase is ONLINE! All ticket points of sale have access to the SAME SYSTEM! Which means, that since online purchasing began, everyone on the web could add tickets to their cart, which usually saves them for about 8 minutes, and the event can appear sold out to the ones that are standing in the cold at the outlets, even though it’s not actually sold out yet. So if you want the best seats, use your computer, hook up multiple computers in your home if you have them. You can still have a home phone and/or cell phone on hand though, just in case, you never know!

Don’t get up at 6am and wait on the site, you could lose your spot in the “online lineup”, this has happened to me before. The best thing to do is get to the site one or two minutes before the on-sale time. You should also make sure your browser is up to date, that once also posed me an issue and I could not obtain tickets. If you have the latest version of whatever browser your using, you should be okay.

Once tickets are in your cart, DO NOT REMOVE THEM. Once they are gone, they are gone!

Also, never buy pre-sale passwords on sites like eBay. They are often bogus.

I trust these tips will help you achieve success in getting Metallica Tickets. Refer back to this article any time you need tips on purchasing event tickets in the future.
