India doesn't quite come under southeast Asia (I think we're just south asia). My ticket has been "shipped" for 24 days now and no signs of it arriving here yet. I e-mailed metaltix this past Friday and they (in quite a rude tone) asked me to wait 2 more weeks before asking again. :|

Hi dishayu,

under your metaltix status, is it written "sent" or "shipped"? haha, well i duno if they are the same tho..

oh ya, i bought the normal tickets, not the early bird special package. My frens (from Malaysia as well) whom bought the early bird tix had received them already. they even have DHL tracking status . so nice!

Well, to confort you, there are 65,000 tickets that need to be sent around the globe! (I do not count the early bird tickets/x-mas tickets here) and some of them have recently returned as non paid, so they will go for sale soon. (see English news above on the forum homepage)
Seen that all tickets need to be personalised, this may take a while.

If you haven't recieved anything in, lets'say, 2013, I'd say ask for a duplicate. Since your ticket is personalised, it's useless for anybody else to use it. (you need ID / passport when you're at the wristband container in Wacken)

So... for the time being, no worries!

It says "sent" in the order status.

I bought normal tickets as well and I don't have any tracking status either. And like Quark said, there's nearly 10 months to go before the gig, so plenty of time to get it sorted out. I wouldn't start panicking anytime before April

Sorry to jump into this conversation late, but did you get a shipping number when it said you tickets were shipped. I was able to track my tickets from when they were shipped to my house.

X-Mas package?
Ordinairy tickets are sent as ordinairy letters. (with a 60ct stamp on it for EU)
No tracking number whatsoever.

But PACKAGES are larger, thus can be sent as package with a tracking number.

Nope, I even asked for tracking details in my e-mail and they said they don't provide tracking details.

That sounds about right.

Got my ticket today!!

I find it hard to believe that even after booking within a few hours of booking-start-time there are 53k people that booked a ticket before me (or could be just that my name was printed on this particular serial number randomly )
