One thing we could notice it's how prices is affecting sales for this tour. There are sections for Athens coming at 80-90€ that haven't sold a ticket in days, while the ones that have the 50€ tickets keep selling out.

Capacity trimmed for the show in Lyon. Discounts incoming?

It doesn't have anything to do with their age, it's simply logistical. Most band that size plans tour that far in advance.

Maiden's tours are usually planned way in advance, altough final details and some dates could be subject to change until last minute (that's why some shows gets announced later or never, like Pula). They're taking a break in 2027 indeed. Aside from the fact people in the know have no knowledge...

I mean, what can I say? Believe what you want, keep asking yourself "why knebworth? why they don't add more bands?" all day and we'll all be happy. Should we close this thread anyway? There hasn't been rumors and speculations since the last announcement and it's highly unlikely we'll get one...

Glad this forum has an "ignore" function. Can we go back to speculate about the actual tour and not only about sales, promoters and what not?

That says it all.

Co-promoter.

It does if the one paying is a well established promoter with an insane amount of money available (talking about Live Nation here) and the other is just a band. Calling all those big bands would be financially impossible for a band, which has to pay for everything else already. Also, how many...

Because Madness Live is the one who actually pays for everything in Cartagena, while Maiden are the ones to pay at Knebworth.

This one is one of the letdown for me. Capacity for the past edition was close to 12k. This time it's surely bigger but still, a long way from selling out the Madrid stadium in hours. But being in such a "remote" place I think it's okay

I just wanted to let people know that some good tickets have been released for Athens then somebody has read too much into that. - Amsterdam selling out in 5 minutes is probably the biggest surprise, considering it always takes months to do so (well, the two times they played there in the past...

I was talking about "recent" ones. But good question: I don't know if those were actually sold out (tbh back in the day you could just fill every venue with whatever amount of people you wanted, there weren't much safety restrictions)

"Yeah don't mind the official numbers sent in by the promoters to the one organization which collects data from every event worldwide, I'll just say a random number that I have in mind perfectly knowing that I don't even know what the capacities for each section are, what's been put on sale...

It's selling poorly indeed but Planet Rock has always talked about Maiden's shows. Let's not forget that 2018 was the first year when they were able to sell out every date of the UK tour (only a year prior they had a negative record in Sheffield) and that their festival appearances (aside from...
