Wow! $85 to join the club? I'd back myself to get GA tickets here through ticketmaster anyday. Maybe it's worthwhile in the US or even Australia, but tickets never sell out all that fast here. Five, or even a couple of minutes? That's all it takes to buy tickets anyway.

It might be worth it if fanclub got preferential seating (i.e. best seats in a reserved seating scenario).

The club offers more than just pre sales tickets. It has a load of other fan stuff in there.
What you get in the initial signup is:

Personalized Membership Card
Introductory Letter from a Band Member
Printed Autographed Band Photo
So What! 4 issues per year
Online Access
Membership - TShirt
2010 Member Package

For a big fan of Metallica (like myself) this is worth the $85 alone

Argh, two major problems. 1) Auckland. 2) Vector Arena (horrible sound)

I'll stick with my memories of the Wellington 1998 gig and the $60 price tag, hee hee.
I'm not travelling that far, especially considering how far past their peak they are (latest DVD was a pretty poor performance, and I'm the die-hard fan)

Used to be in the club, got lots of goodies from them!

Crossing fingers for a ChCh announcement.

My very metal Doctor Who theme

an outdoor concert in early October is a bit risky , indoors at least you are guaranteed the concert wont be canceled due to weather .

Common sense is not as common as you think.

Yeah, pretty good if you're a big fan I guess. I wonder how long they've been doing the shirts. Imagine having 10-15 years of fan club shirts, that'd be pretty cool.

Johnk: I also cant find pricing on the ticketmaster site, but $150 is kinda what i was expecting.

I see tickets go on sale to members of the fan club first, any one here a member of the fan club?

Sure am, and I see the Presales for MetClub members starts on 12noon 4th May!

Wicked!!!

Do you know if fanclub members can buy multiple tickets?

Has the email already been sent to fan club members detailing the presale offer? Or if I join now will I still be able to gain access easily?

Fanclub members get 4 tickets to each show.. You can still become a member and get the tickets, the email has gone out but your presale code is in your account information on the metclub site..
cant wait.. two days to go!
