$122.50 + $10.00 shipping for 4 tickets = $33.13 per ticket for General Admission, meaning it COULD be front row.

EDIT:Review on Concert in San Francisco 3/8/04 -

Well I got the whole concert experience. Frist it took about 30 minutes to get the last 5 miles to the stadium. Then we had to wait in a line of what I would estimate to be 7500 people (everyone had to get patted down for weapons, bottles, etc.). While they were switching sets between Godsmack (most of which I missed) and Metallica I got to see two chicks making out and everyone yelling "Girls Gone Wild!", at which point they showed their boobies. So then Metallica takes the stage and things are going nuts. I'm about 5 rows from the front (it was a cool round stage that slowly rotated so the drum set took about 2 hours to go all the way around. Of course there were some pretty small but nasty pits going on right behind me and by the third song things got pretty wild and a huge fight broke out behind me. I saw one guy gushing blood from his head, another with what looked to be a broken nose. After that things were a lot more calm.....relatively speaking. They put on a great show playing stuff from Kill em All to St.Anger. The crowd got into the stuff from Black and older as opposed to Load and newer but I liked most of the stuff they did. We then proceeded to take 30+ minutes to get out of the parking lot at which point I bought a shirt from a guy along the street for $10. They estimated 14,000 people there.

Ya I won't be going to the front row. I just want to take in a concernt as I love Metallica, and have all their albums from Kill 'em All to St.Anger. I don't want to get into the pit necessarily, but haven't ruled it out. I want to just enjoy it.

I'll be standing in line for tickets on Saturday. They are playing a little 4,000 seat stadium in Moline, IL in August. Figure it's my best chance to see them, and the venue is only an hour drive. I'd much rather go see them in a small area like this than the mega stadium with 100,000+ seats.

Stupidity is alive and well on ebay, I see.

i like to think of it more as "jumping off the bandwagon when the music started to suck"

Bunch of bandwagon freaks.

Anybody who has seen Metallica knows they put on an AWESOME show....

And yes, that is an extremely good deal.. I'm surprised they aren't gone already.

I paid 70$/ea for floor tickets for my girlfriend and I. :)

I agree, like them or not they will put on a great show. By the way do you think it is safe for women on the floor if they stay towards the back? I'm hoping hte entire floor isn't packed but it's more like packed in the front and breathing room in the back.

Mulletallica needs to apologize for the last few releases (Except S&M), order them all burned, and start over again.

Metallica Live Shows = amazing. Especially considering they don't play too much new stuff at their concerts, and the new stuff they do play sounds fvcking awesome live. I've seen them the last two times they've had a show at Giants Staidum (GA) and I was within 3 rows of bodies from them the first time. It is not hard at all to get to the front of the General Admissions area in my experience. Hell I came an hour late to their last tour (Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Deftones, Mudvayne, Metallica) and was only about 5 rows away from the stage in the GA. Another thing that helps is putting people up to crowd surf and letting them get yanked by security. More room :)

Btw, thats a hell of a steal on the tickets and I hope you have an awesome time at the show.

It's safe for women almost anywhere in GA as long as you avoid the mosh pits. They're easy enough to see starting, so just take em and move to a different part. Also, DO NOT let your woman crowd surf. Just trust me on that one. Those guys will grab and and try to stick their hands anywhere and everywhere.
