My understanding is yes, as long as you're a fan club member in time for the draw, you're eligible. You need a floor ticket. (Some shows have front and rear floors, in which case, you'd need front floor). My understanding is the fan club isn't going to verify what type of ticket you hold. If...

Thank you - much appreciated. I'll try to figure this out over the next few weeks.

It's looking less likely that Blaze Bayley will do a Maiden-themed show (or any concert, for that matter) in North America. I'm considering visiting the UK in October. Am I correct in thinking that the closest shows to London would be Southend, Bedford and Worthing?

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...

For what it's worth - Infinite Dreams is tougher than average on bass, but it's not exceptionally difficult either. If Harris is able to play "Phantom", "Rime", "Death of the Celts", and "Caught Somewhere in Time" in recent years, that's not the issue.

I meant to post this in December, but better late than never. I saw 13 concerts in 2025 (down from 18 in 2024). These are roughly ordered from best to worst: Iron Maiden - I flew to Budapest to see the first two shows of the Run For Your Lives tour. I've written about the experience in more...

I spent a few months on exchange in Argentina. It's such a beautiful country, and Buenos Aires is my favourite city that I've travelled to. (As I mentioned in another post, Argentina should be as wealthy as Australia or Canada, but it's been bled dry by decades of corruption and mismanagement)...

Agreed. I can't say I've ever looked forward to them opening for Maiden, but it's quite a sad post to read.

Looks like the 1st Toronto show is virtually sold out (I'd guess 98-99% gone). For the 2nd night, the floor is sold out, but at least half the seats are still available.

Unfortunately, this sounds accurate. I'd love an "X Factor to Senjutsu" tour, but after getting a taste of stadiums, I have a hard time imagining the band would dedicate a tour to their least popular albums, especially since it would mean a big downgrade in attendance (revenue), on what would...

This adds up to approx 78 minutes, 22 seconds (fits on one CD): The Wicker Man El Dorado The Writing on the Wall Blood Brothers The Book of Souls Rainmaker Passchendaele Different World Coming Home The Legacy Hell on Earth A mix of everything - 2 songs from each album (except The Book of...

He performed "Manhunt" live in Toronto in 2017. It was a fantastic performance of a great song. I could also see "Tough as Steel" working well live.

This is a good interpretation. Quoting myself from an old post (from 2021): A rough comparison: "One Shot At Glory" - one of their greatest songs, never played live before. Probably equivalent to Maiden playing "Alexander the Great" (and they started the show with it! Imagine a Maiden concert...

In fairness to Hill, he played a pretty good bass fill once, in 1978.

Yep, I know. For what it's worth - he played in Canada and the US in 2017 and 2019. I went to both shows (two years apart) in Toronto, which were at The Rockpile (a dive bar well outside of the downtown core). It has max capacity of 500, but I'd guess maybe there were 150 each night. Fully...

I hope he does this tour in Canada. If not, I'd seriously consider flying to Europe to see it once.

I was hoping for more than 2 shows in Canada. Based on the gaps between the dates, a 2nd show in Toronto looks possible.

The cheapest tickets I saw for Toronto were just over $400 CDN (around $285 USD). At that price, I'll pass.

"Tales of Topographic Oceans" times two!

Someone posted on the fan club forum that Pula is off the table. (For the record - that's a rumour, but not official). I liked the idea of seeing Maiden in a small venue, especially one that's a Roman amphitheater - to the extent that I started looking into the travel logistics from Toronto. But...
