Death to Vatican
W:O:A Metalhead
Wow! That's what I call a true metal fan!I agree with you.. i think the same....
In fact.. I think, that the WOA Organizers don't read the forums (perhaps the german forums) and they don't care what the fans thinks because they have 8,400,000 euros in their bags (70,000 x 120).
To me represent a lot of money to go to Wacken (this is my third wacken) around 1800 euros (airfare, WOA ticket, travel expenses, etc..)
Yes I know, nobody forces to me to buy the WOA ticket.. i bought it because i thought that this would be a very special fest for the anniversary.... but definitively this year will be my last wacken. I will prefer to go to other european fest.... and NEVER buy again a blind ticket.. I prefer to wait to see the line up of summer European festivals and decide.
Perhaps the WOA Orga wants to change the tag of "Metal Festival" to "Heavy Metal Festival" and change the kind of audience.. I don't know...
I'll be travelling from Torino, Italy and that's a good 18 hours bus trip.
As you say, I'll never buy a blind ticket any longer. Regardless what they come up with the remaining 20-or-so free spots in the bill, I feel like the organization disrespected the rush to buying tickets we all did for this 20th anniversary festival.
They won't have it next year unles they start announcing names from now on.
