New Zealand METALLICA Fan Says He Quit Job To Queue For Tickets
July 14, 2010, 14 years ago
Stuff.co.nz is reporting:
Lance Bradford says he was so determined to get METALLICA tickets that he quit his job before camping overnight at a Ticketek outlet.
His employer would not give him the afternoon off to set up camp outside Canterbury University's student union, so the driller quit.
Bradford, 23, said he was "ripped and angry" when Metallica said they were coming to New Zealand, but not to Christchurch.
This month, his favourite band announced a surprise Christchurch date, with tickets going on sale at 9am today.
"When I found out they were coming, I thought if they are willing to come down here, then I'm willing to quit my job and come down here to line up," Bradford said.
