It is my favourite country. lol Tiny? I guess you mean by population 
It is part of their culture indeed, they have the most metal bands per capita in the world!

I enjoy answering this question! In fact I love metal music with wonderful melody or surge of emotion a lot. I enjoy post-black metal, love the amazing atmosphere. I also love almost all the symphonic metal bands with female vocalists. Melodeath and folk metal are awesome too. I didn't spend much time on enjoying thrash metal but there are some really good bands. Also, if some bands are creative enough and made some "different" metal music, I would be interested in them. (except when they made "pop music" and insist on explaining that's metal ) well in the past I loved dsbm
(a good topic on SF?) I'd like to try metalcore.
sorry, I couldn't stop when talking about metal...because I don't have any chance to talk about it in real life.
Finland is absolutely where I want to visit most! Oh how I want to...some friends of my parents will go to Finland later and I hope they'll bring some CDs in those metal music shop for me. Looking forward to getting them...

Awww I'm so sorry, dude. 
I know the struggle. My only advice for the future is to come online as early as possible. If it says 9am, it means that people will already be queueing like at 7.30. You will be in a queue as well and you need to be careful to have a good connection and not ever to refresh the page until you are allowed to buy your tickets. For me, it usually lasts from 7.30 or 8am, I get in line and wait, and then I'm able to take my tickets between 9.30 and 11am. It sucks, but that is the reality of it.
Also, check if the band doesn't have early tickets for fans or subscribers to their newsletter for free (like Metallica does).
Do not give up, though. If there is a waiting list for tickets, you need to get on it asap. I've always had the possibility to buy tickets later while on the waiting list. Also check from time to time the website that sells the tickets and the band's news, they often add tickets later, until the day before the concert!
Near the date of the concert you could eventually look on social media if some people didn't cancel and want to sell their tickets at the same price, though I have never done that and of course it can be dangerous, so I'm just saying it's a possibility, but not recommending. :P
I hope this helps a little for next time. Do they tour somewhere else that you perhaps could travel to?

Yeah my friends ended up getting their tickets through an early fans presale or something like that? I've signed up for waiting list and will probably get my friends to check social media (I have none) nearer the time...
It was all a little last minute me thinking of going but it's all good... I'm sure they might have one more album in the tank
It was all very last minute for me anyway as I
Yes, early presales. For big bands like that I always check if it doesn't exist. Depending on the band, it can really really worth it. I am pretty convinced that for some of them *coughrammsteincough* the majority of the tickets are sold at presales.
Oh yes, you should access the queue directly on Ticketmaster, not the band's website, it always opens a while before. I usually get this, but the time indicated is not always correct, it can also be sooner, so check from time to time. Everything is in the details, man, I've been through everything by this point.
Good luck next time!

Thank you for all your feedback and advice Auri, very much appreciated man
Yeah it does really suck, sorry about that... Can you use other video platforms though?
I know it's annoying, but if you want to post a YT video, you can always ask me for the link of the video and I'll give it to you, it only takes 5 seconds for me to do that
Alcest does tour, from what I can see for now they only have like 4 dates in Europe. I have no idea if they will go to your country anytime soon.

1 Yes I can use other video platforms but sadly they can't be shared on SF (I'm not sure because I haven't try that), also they don't have as much resources as YouTube. ( I used YouTube when I was in the UK so I got to know that)well I do believe I can go to Alcest's concert because they have come to my country so many times!
