Gary Graff of Billboard.com reports that about 3,000 tickets for each of Ozzfest 2007's 24 shows — which begin Thursday in Auburn, Wash. — have been held back in order to provide upgraded seating for fans. Those will include reserved pavilion locations and even some seats that are actually on the stage.

"On the day of the show you can get to different booths, enter a lottery and get upgraded," Ozzfest organizer Sharon Osbourne explains to Billboard.com. "We'll be upgrading throughout the day, 3,000 people. That's a lot of people to upgrade."

Osbourne adds that the upgrades will be handled in a manner that puts some premium on arriving early for the show, although this year's Ozzfest will begin at noon, rather than 10 a.m. or earlier in previous years. Doors will open at 10:30 a.m.

Sharon Osbourne also revealed that talks are ongoing about a BLACK SABBATH reunion in 2008.

"We're definitely talking to the guys, just talking," she says. "I think when they finish their (HEAVEN AND HELL with Ronnie James Dio) tour and we finish (Ozzfest), we can sit down and spend more time on it."

To be fair he's already re-united with them at least twice in the last ten years so it's not really a bandwagon thing.

The sad part is comment 6 has a valid worry. But I would like to see Meshuggah on Ozzfest again, Maybe Amon Amarth and Children of Bodom could be there too? Scar Symmetry could use an Ozzfest under their belt. Dark Tranquillity. I'm big on euro metal, can't ya tell?

I would be surprised if you see Ozzfest again period, let alone with bands like Children of Bodom, Arch Enemy and Meshuggah on the bill.
