I'm glad someone else shares this opinion. I've been criticising myself for feeling this way, because isn't it nonsense, they're planning for the long term, aren't they? Strange...

Still better than the daylight robbery the Italians are committing as we speak.

184 € for floor standing.

Absolutely disgusting.

Regarding Knebworth, it’s too rich for my blood. Oh well. It’s been a good 20 years of seeing them live. Even though this place is just down the road from me, I can’t really justify these prices and neither can my mates.

Maybe they will slash the prices closer to the date.
 
I don't think the ticket prices are too bad for a full day event. But the hotel and ticket prices are outrageous. Minimum £160 per head added to your ticket price. £320 for a room per night. All seeing why there was no availability on hotel sites in Stevenage when I looked yesterday

Regular concert at San Siro.

Meanwhile, Lisbon says it's 70-90€.

It's crazy. This year it was 84 euros for Paris and I want to go back next year, but there is no way if I have to pay double the price or so. I fear the filming of the show gives them the possibility to ask for any price and have a sold-out show anyway...
 
I was waiting about July 11 announcement to see what really especial, beyond being in Knebworth. I will pass that date and only see them in Lisbon next year
 
I don't understand why this show at Knebworth is a "historic appearance" for Iron Maiden. Can someone who knows the band history better than me explain it?
Thanks a lot!

Perhaps some of their NWOBHM days pals.

Like who? Priest and Saxon are under contract to Bloodstock, Motörhead are all dead, Def Leppard wouldn't support Maiden in any instance so that leaves what? Tygers of Pan Tang?

Or maybe UFO given they have been using them as an intro for 5 decades

UFO retired and half of the main members aside from Mogg and Schenker are dead anyway. Also, Maiden have only been using Doctor, Doctor as an intro for about 15 years.
 
Helloween would have been a good choice. And, as some said, Alice Cooper. Alter Bridge also comes to mind.

I doubt any of those acts would say no if availible.

This could have been advertised as the last Maiden show ever and I still wouldn’t go.

Honestly it all feels like they have scrambled together something last minute. I’m not too impressed.

Clearly scrambled together for an easy cash grab

I don't believe you.

This is honestly bollocks. Do you think booking and organising a massive outdoor show in the biggest venue in the UK is something you can just throw together at the last minute?

Alter Bridge seems like an odd fit. As an arena headliner in their own right, I doubt it'd be an automatic yes. They probably command a large fee.

Helloween would be good but they do not draw a big crowd, especially in the UK. Alice would be great but again, big fee. But we obviously have to assume that either none of these artists are available or were never asked. It's a moot point at this stage.

Alter Bridge could do what Halestorm did this year and mainly promote their new album for a broader crowd along with few greatest hits. It would be a good opportunity for that with new album being released in January. Same with Helloween.

Wasn't Alter Bridge supposed to open some of the later re-scheduled 2021 LOTB dates?
