Awesome!

I really need to get myself to Wacken sometime. I had a ticket for the 2008 festival, but I had to sell it due to family commitments.

Hopefully this time I'll be free to go!

Remember how last year's tickets disapeared so quickly, if I remember well, the last year Wacken was sold out in November or December...I'd recomand people who wanna get to it this year to be quick, I myself plan to do it for the first time as soon as I have some money for this!

Absolutely. I have a friend of mine who really dislikes them but said 'man can they put on a show'. Really great live band (and write some good tunes too :D)

I hope I can get to Wacken this time again as this would be my 6th WOA visit straight. Need to find a job for summer for only 6 weeks, so August is free. :P

not counting Wacken Rocks, counting 2010... 6 times.
Counting Wacken Rocks, 8. If you count Wacken Rocks, then they pass Gamma Ray as the most featured Power Metal band, I believe.

I had free pass the past 5 years... next year I won't have VIP I think but it's quite easy to get cheap tickets, like from 30 to 50 euros, so it's np. I just won't buy StratoRarities this time around. :P So as long as I don't have to work in August, I will be rocking at Wacken in 2010 again. :)

Just bought my tickets! :D

So far I'm going on my own... any space at someone's tent, please? :oops:

Seriously, we could make a Stratofans meeting there :)

Sounds like a great idea!

I'll let everyone know when I get my ticket and sort something out.

A Strato-gathering would be awesome :D

Crap. I have an opportunity to go, but I'm still trying to justify the flight price. Think this may be the year I finally break down, give in to my friends' badgering, and finally make it to Waken. Really hope so.

Problems at metaltix and another topact for W:O:A 2010
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
17-12-09 11:54 - Age: 2 hrs - By: WackenHelge

Because of the huge demand for W:O:A tickets an error occured at the metaltix system tonight. For that reason there weren´t any tickets available for a certain time. The error has been fixed and tickets are available again at www.metaltix.com

Furthermore there are good news about W:O:A´s lineup. Today another topact will be announced. So stay tuned.
