sweeeeeet!!! lucky i'm crazy and bought mine before i even booked my flights hahaha!

I'm sure that's what most people are doing hahaaha lucky you, yes. I'm still on the search for mine.

 

[Muloc7253]

Well yeah would be kinda dumb to book your flights before you even have a ticket.

I NEED TWO TICKETS FOR WACKEN!

Maybe email Wacken and ask them what official vendors they'd recommend.

 

[Ona]

I need two WOA tickets. Does anybody help with it (reseller, etc)?

 

[BastiSito]

Maybe email Wacken and ask them what official vendors they'd recommend.

Actually, they won't recommend ANY official vendor.
Maybe it's kinda unclear, but SOLD OUT means, that there are no tickets available at the official vendors because.... well, they are sold out.

I admit, it is a pretty complicated concept, this "sold out equals nothing to sell anymore", but when you try real hard, you will understand the basic logic behind it.

They've sold out of THEIR OWN tickets, but other sites buy tickets in bulk and sell them as part of packages. Sites that offer coach trips and such. Ignore Bastisito, pastrula, apparently he's too busy being a smarmy nobody that he doesn't think about what he's saying.

Actually he's pretty much right. Other than what was already recommended in the article itself (ie. their official tour/accomodation operators), all vendors are pretty much sold out, which is usually what happens when they announce being sold out (f.ex. there are vendors at certain record stores that were selling them, pretty sure they're pretty much sold out too). Only chance, as says on the news page, is

For all of you who still don’t have ensured themselves a ticket so far there is following alternative:

At our official tour operator there are respectively remaining contingents.
If you are interested in a ticket please contact the particular contact person.
Train and Ticket - Metal Train; Hotel and Ticket - Metal Travel !!!

Furthermore there is our ticket exchange, as in the years before, again, which you should also use to possibly still snatch one of the last tickets from e.g. temporally tied up people.
On top of that the ticket exchange guarantees you following securities:
1) Purchase/ sale is executed without our intervention (we only supervise the price of sale, which should not beat the original ticket price!!!)
2) After agreement the seller sends the tickets to us and we prove the originality of the tickets.
3) By the time the check is finished on our part the buyer is informed that the transaction of the money is ready to carried out plus postal charges (2 x 4,40)
4) After receipt of payment we are informed by the seller and forward the ticket (s) to the buyer via registered letter with reply advice.

Advantages of the model:
- No rip-off concerning the ticket price
- guarantee of original tickets
At this point last important information for original tickets!!!

Unfortunately we have to notice, that our tickets are resold on the internet at raised prices. Those retailers gain tickets at the official price and sell the tickets against prepayment at a raised price, although the commercial trade with our tickets is forbidden.
Nevertheless it is often difficult to proceed against resellers, if they (officially) have their place of business overseas and the origin of the ticket is open. Some Fans have told us, that in the end they have waited for their tickets in vain.
Therefore: Please don’t risk disappointment and buy the W:O:A tickets only on www.metaltix.com.

I found a few just from googling Wacken package 2011. Can't prove their legitimacy but looks like it's their only hope.
