According to The Pulse Of Radio, METALLICA is offering a Death Magnetic Experience pre-sale ticket package between now and September 13th, the official general on-sale date for tickets to the band's upcoming North American tour. Members of the group's fan club have already had first crack at tickets, and now American Express cardholders will get their shot on Monday and Tuesday (September 8th and September 9th), followed by a general public pre-sale on Wednesday (September 10th). The package includes purchase of up to four tickets with better seating, a free download of the show you attend at LiveMetallica.com, and delivery "right to your door" of the band's new CD, Death Magnetic. The pre-sale ends at midnight on September 12th.

Metallica will kick off its first indoor North American tour on October 21st in Glendale, Arizona, with shows booked through the end of January.

A statement by the band noted: "For each ticket you buy, you get a copy of the album. If you purchase four tickets, you get four copies of the CD. Don't need four copies? Give one to your friends, your mom, or a random dude on the street... just spread the new album to as many ears as possible."

Metallica are currently streaming six full songs from their new album, Death Magnetic, on their official website. Tracks on offer are 'The Day That Never Comes', 'My Apocalypse', 'Cyanide, 'All Nightmare Long, 'Broken, Beat & Scarred' and 'The Judas Kiss'.
