Now four times: 3 tours, 4 gigs.  I still remember the exact dates. :)

18.7.2008 Olympiastadion, Helsinki, Somewhere Back in Time
19.7 2008 Ratina Stadion, Tampere, Somewhere Back in Time
8.8.2010 Sonisphere Festival, Pori, The Final Frontier
8.7.2011 Olympiastadion, Helsinki, The Final Frontier
 
Four times:

November 2006, Bergen
July 2008, Trondheim
August 2010, Bergen
July 2011, Oslo

All four were great, but I'd say the best overall experience was the one last year in Bergen. The rain during No More Lies and Blood Brothers was pure magic. But Rime of the Bloody Ancient Mariner in 2008 is my personal highlight.

I've now seen them five times. When I first started listening to Maiden in 2005 and when I first saw them in 2006 I never thought I'd manage to see them this many times and still have the likelihood of seeing them again in the future.

Glasgow 2006
Download Festival 2007
Sonisphere Festival 2010
Glasgow 2011
Aberdeen 2011
 
Six times:
Powerslave 1984
Somewhere in Time twice 1986
Brave New World 2000
Somewhere Back in Time 2008
Final Frontier 2010

Edit: guess I better add number seven: 2012 Maiden England

Another two to add for me since last posting here:

Twickenham - 2008
O2 - last Saturday.
 
TNOTB, POM, SIT, SBIT, TFF. Every show was incredible, but the first one (as the opener for Scorpions) holds a very special place. That show changed my world...
 
I've managed 12 with a 19 year gap between the last 2. Glasgow 84, Edinburgh 86 night 1 and Edinburgh 88 night 2 were out of this world! I went to Iceland to celebrate my 10th gig and the worst show was Ingliston 90 when SH was the only member whose heart seemed to be in it? They were really out of sorts and almost made ammends in the encores but Anthrax stole the evening that night. I was going to stop attending their gigs after that but it didn't work out that way.
 
Wow, not even a month after i saw them last and im already checking the site 3times daily waiting for a glimmer of a new tour, dvd, IMTV, cd, best of, picture...  anything but news of another bands releases  :mad:
...  :S i have a problem
