May 12, 2009, 15 years ago
Billboard.biz has issued the following report from Andre Paine:
Organizers of the inaugural Sonisphere festival in the UK are offering a deal on a ticket and game bundle that will allow METALLICA fans to pre-order Guitar Hero: Metallica at a discounted rate.
An offer for free coach travel to the site at Knebworth from Manchester, Birmingham and London has also been arranged with coach operator National Express. Furthermore, Sonisphere organizers say they have removed booking charges on weekend and weekend camping tickets; customers who have already paid will receive an £11.50 ($17.54) refund per ticket.
Guitar Hero: Metallica is out on May 29th, with a recommended retail price of £49.99 ($76.23) for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and £39.99 ($61) for Wii. However a weekend ticket for the August 1st and 2nd Sonisphere festival will cost £152.50 ($232.66) with a pre-order for the game, compared to £132.50 ($202.17) for a ticket alone - a saving of £29.99 ($45.76) on the game's maximum RRP. There are similar savings on offer when the game is ordered with a weekend camping ticket and there is potential saving of £39.99 ($61.02) if fans order the ticket bundled with the game and guitar.
Guitar Hero is the Sonisphere festival sponsor and there will be a competition for festival-goers to have the chance to play the game on the main stage and meet Metallica.
