00:00Now, this story just is over at Facebook.com slash 95.9 The Rat.
00:05The question is, would you pay $7,000 for Metallica tickets?
00:10No, I wouldn't pay $7,000 for tickets to anything, even if Jesus and Jimi Hendrix started a super group.
00:19Nope, nope, nope, nope.
00:21Well, here's what's up. Metallica is offering several enhanced experience packages to their new tour.
00:28For example, one of the other packages, that's not $7,000, will give you a seat in the Snake Pit, which is a standing location in the middle of the stage.
00:42Wow.
00:43Because the show is in the round.
00:45Oh, that's crazy.
00:46There's going to be a pit in the middle of the stage. That is sick.
00:49That is nuts.
00:50Now, what's up with this $7,000 experience?
00:53Okay, first of all, it's more than one ticket.
00:55It's good for up to eight people to watch the show on a raised platform, I assume somewhere close to the stage.
01:05Wow.
01:05I would assume it would be close to the stage.
01:07All right.
01:08So now it's a little bit less than $1,000 each.
01:10Eight people.
01:11You get a cooler full of beer and soda, access to a pre-show party, and one piece of merch that will be delivered to you when you arrive.
01:22Hmm.
01:23So what's that, about $800 each or so?
01:25Yeah.
01:26Yeah, about $900.
01:28Something in there.
01:29I mean, that's still very pricey, but at least now it's coming down to planet Earth.
01:34I know.
01:35Yeah.
01:35I mean, when I first heard $7,000 from Metallica, what are they playing in my kitchen?
01:40Yeah, really.
01:41Is Lars going to cook breakfast for me?
01:43It's crazy.
01:44On the day of the show?
01:45I don't know why this is happening right now.
01:48And by the way, this is before all that dynamic pricing.
01:52I asked.
01:53I asked.
01:54I said, has Metallica heard about how we all feel about dynamic pricing?
02:00Right.
02:00And I haven't even gotten an answer yet, which means, to me, we're going to see some dynamic pricing.
02:06Oh, man.
02:07So, Metallica tickets.
02:10You can find that link at facebook.com slash 959 on the rat.
02:13You can see all these, not all of these enhanced experience things are $7,000.
02:20Some of them are much more affordable.
02:22Oh, good.
02:22So, that's at facebook.com slash 959 on the rat.
