I'm trying to book Metallica tickets in advance for their upcoming show in Charlottesville, VA on October 17th. I guess my question would be does anybody know of any sites that could get me a possible discount or help me out with this? I was on Metallica's website and I wanted to look at their tix prices so I followed the tour links and whatnot and looked into buying a ticket off UVA's JPJ Arena website, and after doing the math, it ended up lookin like this: 49.50 for the ticket, 11.50 service charge, 2 dollar facility charge, 3.75 processing fee, and to top it off if I wanted to park near the stadium that's another 17.40 to bring my grand total to about 82 bucks-ish.

I looked into all the regular user-sell tix websites like stubhub, tickets.com, etc. and the mininum price listed was 91 bucks, so that's out. I don't have a lot of money what with everything I have going on so I'm basically trying to cut out the middleman and just buy cheap tickets direct from somebody or find a site that could get me a possible discount to lower the price by 5-10 bucks. Anybody got any advice?

I feel like it's an exorbitant price but I've been wanting to see Metallica for a while and I figure I should take this opportunity while it's still available to me.

I love going to concerts but I will say all the added fees are killing me and preventing me from seeing some lesser known artist.

I get emails from Livenation.com saying that they don't charge service fees. I would check with them.

Try ticketluck.com and enter the discount code "CAROL" on the checkout page in the discount code box. I always get my tix from this website, and enjoy the discount :)

Try craigslist, often there are honest fans selling tix for face value.

Whoa! Did NOT know they were coming to C-ville... That's two days before my birthday. Maybe I can give the wife a few hints...

I'm just going to throw this out there: I was not impressed in the least the only time I ever saw them live...sorry, folks.

I'm really not a fan myself, but some of my friends who are always rave about them live.

I have seen them in concert maybe 20 times, it is usually a pretty damn crazy show. Now I have not seen them in some time so considering they are aging and their fan base is aging they/show might not be as good.
