Every show on the Elevation Tour was soldout! Nearly half the shows on the St. Anger tour in the United States failed to sellout! Over 10,000 tickets were still available for sell when Metallica played its second show at the Wachovia Center two months ago in Philadelphia! The single show in Washington DC at the MCI center still had tickets available at show time.
u2 success is nothing.u2 played same cities and arenas over and over again.this is nothing.metallica played all 50 states in america since 89.u2s 3-4 tours sell well and gross alot because their fan base richer than metallica fan base.
metallica played arenas,stadiums,amphitheaters non stop in 96-97-98-99-2000.they played 5x more arena and stadium shows than u2.because their selling power still strong after non stop shows
