News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

[PieceofMind89]

I was muito animado para um show do Iron Maiden em um grande estádio americano. Qual seria uma previsão realista para o Alamodome?

Probably around 30k. Stadium capacity is 64k, but I don't know how many tickets were put up for sale.

 

[Helmuth Von Moltke]

I’m hedging my bets between Europe and/or Asia as for where I spend my cash. There is little chance many Euro dates will sell out so no pressure to buy tickets right away for them.

Really happy to see Megadeth again, Hannover. They did a great job opening for Maiden in 1999 (Hamburg), and I also saw Anthrax opening for Maiden in 1990 which was also superb, however, Megadeth were even better.

Provavelmente em torno de 30 mil. A capacidade do estádio é de 64 mil, mas não sei quantos ingressos foram colocados à venda.

Here is the translation to English:

---

I understand that an audience of 30,000 people would be excellent, but in a stadium with a capacity of 60,000, it might seem a bit disappointing.


Additionally, this month, AC/DC, Metallica, and Oasis sold out stadium shows in Australia. I was hoping Iron Maiden would also put on a bold performance there, but I guess it will be more of the same in the usual venues.

Can we expect those bands like Megadeth and Anthrax doing longer gigs than usual support bands do? I mean, those bands are of a heavier weight than e.g. Powerwolf or The Raven Age are. Would be a pity if they were nailed to do somewhat of a 40-minutes-set. And they are announced being "very special guest".

I think Megadeth will play longer for sure.

Here's how I think the set times will go for the North American amphitheater and arena shows with Megadeth opening:
Megadeth:19:15-20:15(1 hour set)
35 minute set change
Iron Maiden: 20:50-22:55(23:00 curfew)

North American stadiums shows with Anthrax and Megadeth opening:
Anthrax: 18:15-18:55(40 minute set)
20 minute set change
Megadeth: 19:15-20:15(1 hour set)
35 minute set change
Iron Maiden: 20:50-22:55(23:00 curfew)

 

[Nomadd]

Completely don't know why Iron Maiden didn't activate the sales link for the Louder Than Life Festival on their official site? The time has passed and we still have the date, nothing more...

 

[ShadowOfTheGods]

They've sold 30k so far actually

No, they haven't

 

[ShadowOfTheGods]

Pavilion seats almost sold out for the Bristow show. Lawn will probably be sold out or near sold out by day of the show.

Past shows attendance in Bristow(capacity 25,000):

2017: 17,610
2019: approximately 19,000(lawn looked a little fuller than in 2017)
2026: my estimate is 20,000-22,000.

As someone else pointed out, 2017 was their biggest show there.
If they're lucky they'll be able to reach the 2017 result next year. No way lawn will sell out, it's a big one and there are still seats left (a lot of theme were also taken off sale)

The capacity for concerts is more or less 45.000.

Sales in San Antonio and Mexico City seem to be the most disappointing so far.

 

[GhostofCain]

No, they haven't

How many tickets have they sold?

 

[ShadowOfTheGods]

Sales in San Antonio and Mexico City seem to be the most disappointing so far.

Mexico is doing better than last time, San Antonio is already way above their Texas record for a single show and it's the one selling the most out of all the US shows.

 

[ShadowOfTheGods]

How many tickets have they sold?

I would say 24/25.000

There's a lot of time 'til showdays, probably the final sales will be a way better.

I would say 24/25.000

May I ask what your source is? Thanks!

 

[Aggelos]

May I ask what your source is? Thanks!

that is exactly my question as well. unless you have inside knowledge there is no way to know how much a gig has sold the way ticketmaster manages sales. They add and remove blocks of tickets to create artificial demand and seeing a section sold out now, does not mean it will be soldout tomorrow. tickets remaining does not mean in general, it means tickets remaining from the ones added.

You can see the availabilities on the map, I've been keeping track of the numbers since the first day

in other words you have absolutely no idea and you're just pulling numbers out of your ass.

The guy who updates ticket sales on the fanclub has 26k sold for Athens. It's just an educated guess, but he has a very good track record when it comes to monitoring ticket sales.
