THIS SUCKS !!!! I am now having doubts about my first trip to Wacken ! The more I think about it..I can save easily $1000 on airfare alone, see half the bands on the list ( the ones I like ) here in New York eventually, and have money saved up for a possible east coast road trip when Amon Amarth returns !! Iron Maiden will be in my area for a couple of shows. C.O.B. are on the Gigantour, Opeth w/ dream theater, And Vader(not at wacken) is on tour as well... decisions, decisions. I feel a little better now...
