Lakbay-freak: Metallica Live in Singapore 2013




Metallica Live in Singapore
August 24, 2013


Bought my Metallica ticket online through SISTIC.  It cost S$191 for Set A (zone nearest to the stage).  Bring a valid ID and the credit card used to purchase the ticket for collection.

Time for head bangin' and loud music.  Met Don and his brother in Tampines and took a taxi to Changi Exhibition Center.  This is a new venue and not a lot of taxi drivers knew the place.  Metallica was the first to use it.  It's not even in Google maps yet.  I searched the map manually and used the link for Aviation Park Road, the open area beside the hangar is the place, no public transport available except taxis.  Just click the Changi Exhibition Center link to see it on the map.

When we arrived at the site, as soon as we got off the taxi, we can already hear Metallica playing.  Oh no, we were late, so we ran as fast as we could.  There are no more queues, most of the people are already inside the perimeter.  We have a Set A ticket but we ended up in Set B.  We can't reach Set A anymore because it's too crowded already.  But what the hell, Metallica is live and loud before our eyes so we just enjoyed every moment of it.  I think we missed 2 songs when we arrived.  The time in the ticket says 8:30 pm, we thought there will be some front acts but it was Metallica at 8:30 pm sharp. 

This is how far we are from the stage.

Metallica Live and Loud

After the concert....










Whew, what a night.  An event to be remembered for the rest of my life.  See my entire Singapore Trip post.
