8MileBU Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I got standing this morning as well, think the standing might be sold out now as I'm only getting offered seats when I log back in. I notice standing for this is 16 and over, the Hydro is normally 14 and over and Ned Jnr has stood in the past, he'll be 15 for this one though ... anyone had any bother with age restrictions at the Hydro ? I would very much doubt they'll bat an eyelid to be honest, unless he's very clearly under 16. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Metallica will be my first visit to The Hydro. Is it right that regardless of where you're seated the view is great? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly looks 16 - i guess we might take one of his friends birth certificates just to be sure. Just noticed I booked ticket insurance by mistake due to the haste 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's like a bowl so you will get a great view, although if you are at the very back it will seem like you are miles away! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine, looks like they're gonna be touring with the floor stage in the middle of the arena like they did on the World Magnetic tour so probably won't feel too far away! I'm sure I won't struggle to hear them so that's all that matters! [emoji869] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, seems less useful given we're a few months on from the album release. I'll be handing mine away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithie Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Got my email today with the code to redeem a copy of the album. Clicked the link and was saying can redeem on 27th March. I already have the album so if anyone wants it give me a shout. Digital copy, not paying out for P&P 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decided to pass on this one due to the price. Resigning myself to the fact that Metallica are now a festival only band for me, which is fine. Come the day of the gig I'll be wishing I was there, but that's too much to pay for a band I've seen a few times and will undoubtedly have a chance to see at festivals again. Discounting an enormous surprise in the setlist with a song they rarely play that I absolutely love and haven't seen before (Unforgiven II and Sanitarium are pretty much it now) I'm not too fussed. Seating in the Hydro is fine by the way, was way up the back for The Who but had a great view and the sound was exceptional. The stairs are even steeper than the away end of Love Street so that's a bit dodgy after a few pints but otherwise no complaints. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
