Could this ticket sale push back Metallica's announcement this week?

"Additional dates are due to be announced in North America, South America, Asia and Europe soon."That's no good to me! I'm in Newcastle and would travel to see accadacca but don't want to go buy a ticket for Manchester if they're going to announce a date up here...Brian's hometown!

I reckon they'll announce dates in Glasgow, Newcastle, Dublin, Belfast - look at the amount of time between London + Manchester gigs! There's no way they're going to take a week off between two gigs - that's where the other dates will go after these 3 dates have sold out. Shrewd marketing eh!

I hope they will announce gigs in places like Scotland, Wales and Ireland, it's a bit off to call it a UK tour if it's just England, as big Graeme pointed out.
