This is an interesting Pollstar article about Maiden's touring success. https://news.pollstar.com/2025/11/04/touring-beasts-iron-maiden-celebrates-50-years-of-worldwide-heavy-metal-dominance-with-run-for-your-lives-world-tour/

AlamoDome has seating at back of floor for Maiden. Capacity for Maiden 60000? Pit nearly sold out. Back of floor and first tier maybe half sold out. Entire top tier has few tickets sold. 20-24k sold? Maiden tend to be front loaded ticket sale wise, hard to see 10k walk up sales. At this point...

San Antonio and Hershey should be moved. San Antonio city area population is one third of Dallas Fort Worth, surprised didn't play small stadium in DFW. Sales for other concerts seem to be good through to excellent. Shame about the bots and dynamic ticket pricing. Hope ROW concerts...

One concert in Western United States and Western Canada with over 100 million population. Zero Florida gigs, population 24 million. Chicago through Toronto, Montreal, Virginia, Boston, NJ, Philly is 7 out of 12 shows, a smallish geographic area. Toronto likely to get 1 more. Scandinavia 9...

World Cup finishes July 13, sure Maiden can start end July in NA.

Tinley Park amphitheater in Chicago holds 28000, lots of large venues like that in North America, no need to play stadiums. Saw Def Leppard at Tinley, fantastic evening.

Makes sense to finish European announcements hopefully by end of October. NA tour not start to late July, plenty of time to announce before Thanksgiving. Maiden could play BMO stadium in LA, concert capacity 24000. Not sure about similar sized venue in New York. Arenas again, SA imagine...

https://www.rock-am-ring.com/en According to it's website it's sold out.

Rock Am Park listed as sold out, good work.

Hannover has at least 25% unsold seats. Imagine Rod has a magical spreadsheet saying how many tickets needed to break even for the entire tour but a lot more risk in individual shows. I saw Def Leppard at Wembley Stadium, lucky if 60% of tickets sold.

Would imagine NA / SA dates announced in plenty of time before Christmas to allow fans to get spending priorities in order! Oz ROW dates ideally announced before Christmas, but as not happen to late October 2026 maybe not. As I live in Bangkok knowing sooner is better!

Looking at San Siro seating map, doesn't look like strong sales. Playing the stadium not using typical goal end configuration (playing across rather than down pitch), which I am guessing would make capacity lower, maybe 40000. Maiden Italy website says more than 20000 tickets sold, which seems...

Depeche Mode sold out London Stadium with 65000, Beyonce Jay Z averaged 63000 in 2 sell outs. Sell outs at O2 in London can range from 21000 down to 13000, depends on configuration (seats or standing on floor, stage in middle or end) and tickets released as noted above. Saw Maiden in Shanghai...

Source? I live Bangkok, will see Metallica in Perth November 1, very interested!

If they play Hellfest not going to help Lyon's weak sales. Assume high cost renting Lyon's stadium.
