We all know that the Olympic Stadium in Greece has a "flexible" capacity. 70 to 75K tops for massive gigs and then it scales down depending on what the promoter expects to sell. 87% of released tickets sold is a pretty good result and proves the gig was scaled properly. Not sure which other...

do you have a link for the official boxscore? Regarding venue sizes, so what, you think they undersold themselves or that the promoter did not want to make money? If they booked smaller venues it's because the promoter did not believe there was a much bigger demand to justify a bigger place...

He isn't though. Anyone can pull numbers out of their ass and say "hey, I'm right". But can they somehow back these numbers? That's a whole other story. The link I posted from touring data says the gig had an 87% attendance which means 30K tickets and not 40K. That is a pretty well scoped...

Well, as we say in Greece, we got the longest of the three...

According to https://touringdata.org/2019/10/03/iron-maiden-legacy-of-the-beast-tour/ it sold 26.000 tickets which was an 87% capacity. Better than Sofia, Wien, Zagreb, Belgrade, Bucharest, Budapest, Belfast, Arnhem, Zurich and Berlin which were all at the same leg.

why would you think it sold badly? from where i was it looked pretty full. Maybe not sold out, but definitely not a poor attendance show.

The annual rumors for Greece have already started.

fixed it for you. And mind you it goes way further back thanthe 2020s.

Gaza has currently adults living there, that for their entire lives, all they have known is war. All they have known is Israeli bombs, Israelis throwing them out of their land and their homes, Israelis (not necessarilly soldiers mind you) killing their children. What do you expect these kids to...

I guess not. The Farages of this world monopolize the populist vote anyway and I wouldn't want those people anyway.

anyone believes they have a chance? tjere's some big words there, not sure though of the appeal to the masses and of course not sure if they will actually live up tothose words. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/jul/24/jeremy-corbyn-and-zarah-sultana-agree-to-launch-leftwing-party

I always viewed Vegas as a very American thing. Never got the alure TBH. Maybe because I don't gamble.

i agree regarding authoritarian regimes. but it takes many forms. america is the same these days. Regarding russia and china they just mask their different form of capitalism under the guise of a system that cares for the little people. in their current state they are much worse than they used...

I think that for us, living on the other side of Europe, maybe we just saw the things we wanted to see and this is why we thought it was "paradise".

that conversation was 2-3 years ago, maybe a bit more. But of course you know better being Swedish and all. It's a shame though, Scandinavian countries used to be model countries for a lot of people. Maybe we had just idealized them, don't know.

And one more thing. The social structure you admire was mostly put inplace by leftists. The right is just trying to dismantle/privatize them, but it's not easy to do. If they had their way Europe would be America now.

just a couple of things. Neither Russia nor China is a communist country anymore. In fact they haven't been for a long, long time. Regarding Cuba I disagree. Their woes are mostly brought upon them by the US and the west with the trade embargo and what not. Not that it would be perfect, but...
