Metalunderground: As previously reported, Metallica fans in Israel had been boycotting the band’s upcoming concert in the country due to ridiculously high ticket prices. It seems now however, that the boycott has proven a success, as a post on the boycott’s Facebook group reads:

“Friends, I’m shaking with excitement as I’m writing this. After a 4 day campaign, tens of news items about us worldwide, over 6000 supporters and numerous media interviews we can say that we did it! We won!

“This afternoon, Or & Tomer Mussman met with Mr. Gad Oron, the promoter’s representative and reached an agreement about a significant drop in ticket prices.

“We would like to personally thank Metallica and their management for directly helping us with reaching our goal and reducing the prices.

“We are officially asking each and every one of you to stop the boycott, and come and enjoy Metallica’s concert with us on May 22nd.

“We want to thank each and every one of you who made their contribution to our successful campaign by joining, signing the petition, or sending links from and to the media everywhere and helping our voice to be heard and echo all around the world.

“We want to thank the producers, Metallica members and management who were willing to talk to us.

“See you at the show,

“Tomer Mussman & Rotem Horovitz.”
