I did not know that they have a camera on the Spitfire nose.

It is probably just an exaggeration; the tour has been announced several months earlier than usual for a summer North American tour and most of the shows are selling well. People tend to forget that many casual fans in North America would be more worried about Christmas shopping than getting tickets for a gig that is going to happen in 8 months time.

Idea to boost the sales in the US: re-release "Be Quick or Be Dead" as single with Hostile 45 instead of Robert Maxwell on the cover.

So what do you think should be done about this? Sounds really ominous for the boys. Dave might not even be smiling anymore, right?

Maybe if Maiden brought along a bigger band, they could open and make more money. I hear Ghost headlines arenas nowadays.

"Last of the Beast" tour would have boosted ticket sales.

The support band doesn't necessarily need to be bigger. Just better. And have earned the right to be there.

Ah, that’s true. Someone should see what Lauren Harris is up to.

I'm not sure the support band would have an effect on the overall ticket sales. Ticket sales on the first leg of TBOS were very good, The Raven Age opened on that tour as well. If someone is going to buy tickets for the show, they are buying them for Maiden, not The Raven Age.

Indeed.
Wait, did that guitarist flick a lit cigarette into the audience at about 23 seconds into the clip (see 0:16 in the vid for context)?

Sales are fine. They are doing more gigs in the USA than the last tours, and with some concerts geographically close to each other it might take a little time to sell tickets.

In what context?

Slow ticket sales could be attributed to a couple of things. I think the biggest thing is that folks in the U.S. aren't used to shows going on sale almost a year in advance. That's way too far out to plan, especially if you have to travel for a show. I still haven't bit on a ticket because most of the airlines aren't showing their schedules and prices that far out. If I don't know what my travel budget is, I'm sure as hell not gonna jump on a $100+ ticket that I may or may not be able to use. And, also, that the pit tickets are "use 'em or lose 'em" certainly doesn't help with that, either.
I know I'm grumbling an awful lot that they are skipping a major metropolitan area with a huge population and stable fanbase (Denver) on this tour. But... I don't mind traveling for a show, and it would be fun... but... I'm not willing to spend $500 in tickets and travel to see Maiden. I love them... but... for fkk's sake... that's too rich for my blood this time around.
I hope everybody has an amazing time at their shows, though.
Up the irons, etc.
