Now now, I know Maiden are a declining, lackluster money machine nobody likes anymore, but calling them The Troll? That's just mean.
Though I guess that's the problem - Maiden fans have stopped feeding The Troll with their money. Sad!

Don't think so.2018 they had 40k people. This year they'll get around 50k.

Not a shot. If they add more cheap tickets, probably they could get close to 35k. But realistically we're looking at a 30/33k result.
Greece is not so bad, but realistically in many places, they are just under expectations.

And you are just as annoying as I now come to expect.
Maiden are doing fine, so fine in fact that this is the first tour that I cannot afford to go see them!
And... The fact you can not afford to participate in the show has nothing in common the band's doing fine. Be serious, please. Maybe for some fanboys I'm annoying but I'm talking about facts and the current situation.

It is still the same price. 125€ + 10€ fee. Where are you getting from that it got cut by 20%?

Antwerp's ultimate music festival is back! Experience Robbie Williams, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and Iron Maiden at Live is Live. Tickets on sale now!feverup.com
My friend you are wrong. Let it go. 32k tickets have been sold already. I have a collaboration with the company promoting.Easter bonus will get more tickets.And of course the days near the concert.
I think 34 - 36 tickets are possible. But the current economic situation will slow down the sales for sure.

Because they are charging astronomical ticket prices in large venues, and many people are still buying them. Yes, they’d do better if the prices weren’t as high but the tour still looks like it’s going to be a success, contrary to what some might have you believe.

I'm totally right. They should be at around 29k tickets sold right now. 32k/35k will probably be the final result.
Jesus...I'm telling you..my work is associated with the promoters.32k are sold right now. Just let it go.You are giving away numbers out of nowhere.Oh and of course they'll be tickets given for free to advertisting companies, radio and tv stations etc as always on a Maiden concert in Greece. Not to mention freeloads and jumpers at OAKA stadium..not the greatest security in the world.

You're right.

But the fact they are charging astronomical prices does not necessarily equal doing fine. I mean, they could be doing fine selling every gig at much more reasonable prices and you would not need to miss out!
Anyway, the tour is a success (or at least a significant number of gigs are).

Nomadd conveniently ignoring this
I have had some free time lately and studied the random data, suggestions, and my own (very critical) calculations. Resuming the sales results (current + some realistically expected), 58 shows booked for this year should do around 1.530.000 result, including the festivals. Some shows will be sold out or very close to it; some will have very good and very poor sales, too. If the final result were as I suggest, we could tell about decent sales.

Iron Maiden Touring LLP files audited financial statements each year. Anyone can access them. The trends show that the band's ability to generate revenue (turnover) and profit have increased over time. This objectively contradicts the doomsday narrative.
The audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending March 31st, 2026, will likely be available in the second half of December. We can revisit this discussion then, but I suspect it will show that the LLP approached or exceeded its previous highs in revenue and profitability.
