RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

Regrettably I've only seen them three times. Once with Blaze in 98, then at the Clive Burr benefit gigs in 2002 and finally on the Book of Souls world tour.

Ticket prices are absolutely outrageous these days. Favourite band or not, there's no way I'm forking over £90 per ticket!
£90 is a bargain compared to most major touring bands to be fair.

This year will be my 15th Maiden gig.
 
I go to 3-5 shows per tour but that started with the Legacy tour. I saw them 1 time on the Maiden England tour and I skipped the BOS and TFF tours because I wasn't really keen to the new albums. This year I will reach the 20 shows milestone.
 
This year will be my fifth time:

A Matter of the Beast 2007
Maiden England 2013
Legacy of the Beast 2022
The Future Past 2023
Run for Your Lives 2025

There were some ofther changes in between, but I couldn't afford the tickets at the time. Now, I'm in a much better place financially so I try to see each tour that comes to an area close to me as long as Maiden is active.

Due to how rigid their approach for playing live is, I don't really have any interest in watching the same tour twice. No judgement obviously on those who do that (or the people who basically travel around the world and are hitting dozens of shows of the same tour). I'm happy with a single show.
 
Went to 4 shows:

Book of Souls (2016)
LOTB 2 (2022)
Future Past (2023) x2

As I'm young and lived in a city in Brazil far from the cities they played most, it was hard to watch them live here. Went to study abroad in 2021 and got to see them a few times in Europe, including the first time of ATG. I even bought a ticket for Budapest but I'm working here in Brazil now and couldn't get time off, hopefully I get to watch them here next year.

I've seen Maiden 31 times since my first show in 1996.

I've been lucky enough to see them on every North American tour except for Dance of Death (that one only went to two cities) and Early Days (because I was not going to support the fucking Osbournes to see Maiden play for barely an hour). While most of the shows I've seen have been in the Mid Atlantic/NE area (VA, DC, MD, PA, NY, NJ), I have seen them abroad a few times - Stuttgart in 1999, twice in London in 2017 and then in Toronto in 2017. All incredible experiences all of them.

Maiden shows aren't just about seeing the band. I've made a lot of great friends (IRL and online) over the years seeing shows and getting a chance to see those folks is also part of the experience.

I'm not able to travel this year to see them but I am hoping they swing around here in 2026.

And here is a curious funny thing: I've never seen them playing Wrathchild!
And I thought I'm lucky one, having never seen Wrathchild in my 3 different tours, but your statistics is quite "impressive". I guess maybe they don't play Wrathchild as often as we think, although I am pretty sure this time around they will play it.

My 5 shows:
The Book of Souls World Tour 2016: 1 (Kaunas)
Legacy of the Beast World Tour 2018/22: 3 (Tallinn, Berlin, Riga)
The Future Past World Tour 2023: 1 (Krakow)

And this year Warsaw. I try to be spoiler free as long as possible ideally all the way to the concert, but it seems quite a challenge for these next 2 months, but will see.

I think the thing about Wrathchild is more about the times they dropped another song for it in the middle of a tour (or between years in the same tour). The last time Wrathchild was played in the first gig of any tour was in 2003, iirc.

The London show will be my 36th Maiden concert. First concert was in 1996 and I have seen them on every tour since then.

Here is the list of Maiden shows I have been to:
