(Cincinnati, OH) --- Legendary rockers Metallica bring their World Magnetic Tour to U.S. Bank Arena Tuesday, September 15, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets go on sale Saturday, April 4 at 10 a.m., the same day the group will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. 

This tour features a stage “in the round” meaning the stage is in the center of the floor and the tickets on the floor will be general admission. The remainder of the house will be reserved seating. Tickets for Metallica are priced at $72.50* and $52.50*, with fifty cents of each ticket going to charity. 

The band has been touring to sold out crowds across the U.S. and the World since the release of last year’s Death Magnetic album. Last Friday, March 20, they delighted fans with a surprise appearance at Austin’s Stubb’s BBQ, a 2,100 capacity club, as part of the South by Southwest showcase for up and coming bands. 

But with 50 million albums sold, Metallica definitely does not need to be discovered. They are on a career high. Earlier this year they received their eighth Grammy Award (for Best Metal Performance for Death Magnetic’s “My Apocolyse”), this month will see the release of the Metallica Guitar Hero game as well as the release of The Complete Metallica, a discography box set, featuring 163 tracks. 

The Cincinnati show will be the second show after the group returns to the U.S.
