I notice that tickets for Saturday or Friday or anything are not available online anymore. Has the show sold out? Kind of stuck here, because I got a ticket but my friend did not, due to his printer dying on him and him wanting me to print out his ticket at my workplace.

You guys are talking about more obscure power metal bands. I mean we know them because of this festival, but average joe is going to go "who"? I mean it's just the perception of metal in the states in general. I wore my Iron Maiden shirt to work and a lot of people ask, "they are still...
