The Black Sabbath tickets controversy: who got them and who didn’t?
Fans appear dissatisfied with the turnout for Black Sabbath‘s reunion event, which went on sale to the general public on February 14. Earlier this month, Sabbath revealed the show, which will include all four of the group’s original members. On July 5, it will be held in Birmingham’s Villa Park. Proceeds from the show, which will also be Ozzy Osbourne‘s last performance ever, will be donated to a number of charitable causes. There will be performances by Metallica, Slayer, Alice in Chains, Pantera, Halestorm, Mastodon, and more, including a supergroup of rock legends. Fans complained that it was difficult to get tickets during the event’s artist presale earlier this week. Many others complained about lengthy lines and indicated that by the time they reached the front of the line, they had no tickets. It seems that the cost of the tickets was also an issue. That being said, some people were able to buy tickets. They opened Ticketmaster 90 minutes before the artist presale began, according to a Reddit fan.
