With the intervention of the band themselves, Metallicas Israeli concert will now go on sale with a price that wont require you to sell your soul to Satan to get in.
Congratulations to the 6,000 Israeli metalheads who joined a Facebook campaign to drop the extortionate priced tickets for Metallicas May 22nd show at the Ramat Gan Stadium in Tel Aviv.
Tomer Mussman and Rotem Horovitz (the guys behind this Facebook group) have released the following update on the matter:
Friends, Im shaking with excitement as Im writing this.
After a four-day campaign, tens of news items about us worldwide, over 6,000 supporters and numerous media interviews, we can say that we did it! We won!
This afternoon, Or and Tomer Mussman met with Mr. Gad Oron, the promoters representative, and reached an agreement about a significant drop in ticket prices.
We would like to personally thank Metallica and their management for directly helping us with reaching our goal and reducing the prices.
We are officially asking each and every one of you to stop the boycott, and come and enjoy Metallicas concert with us on May 22.
We want to thank each and every one of you who made their contribution to our successful campaign by joining, signing the petition, or sending links from and to the media everywhere and helping our voice to be heard and echo all around the world.
We want to thank the producers, Metallica members and management who were willing to talk to us.
