Auckland will depend on how fast it sells out, if it doesn't happen quickly then they will likely not add a second.

They were already really high this run, similar to what Maiden were charging in the US once Ticketmaster took over.

The stage show was definitely ambitious, in an economy where most bands are looking to reduce touring costs, Tobias goes all out designing a full scale custom stage and it hurt them in the end, was very expensive to transport, and as a result limited what countries they could ultimately bring it...

That was expected. Only show that could be added is a second in Auckland

Could be correct last time it was the final Australian show being the 13th and NZ the 16th. This time NZ being the 7th, Adelaide the 11th so technically there is an extra day to slip one in the 8th aha

Judging by the gap in dates 100% for sure.

At least Maiden know their market, 3 arena shows Auckland, Adelaide and Brisbane and being more ambitious with stadiums in Sydney and Melbourne

Don't forget the official pages announcing British Lion in the Bahamas :lol:

I think it might be a case of Spark Arena holds 12k, if you play Go Media stadium and even double that then it's a success. Unlikely to sell it out but they could still get a NZ attendance record at the same time.

There is a brand new venue in Christchurch opening soon with a capacity of 30k, not sure they will skip the biggest city and do a one off there though.

Yeah, you got to respect the fact he's come out and said straight that he wants to hang this up for a while and spend time at home. Was quite surreal seeing Tobias (Papa) just standing there soaking it all in while the crowd were losing it, then thanking everyone for making his dreams come...

The Main venue holds something like 40k for concerts, but they also have Western Springs outer fields which is around half that, could be an option.

Yeah but it would make little sense announcing India with Australia and NZ with no Japan and other Asian dates.

NZ confirmed with the All Blacks shirt

I was at that show and was surprised by that move, certainly does look like his way of thanking everyone knowing when Ghost do eventually return it could be a very different band backing. I must say the show was flawless, anyone who claims Ghost rely on their gimmick and stage show to stay...
