LEGACY OF THE BEAST WORLD TOUR 2022 - **CONTAINS SPOILERS**

[GhostofCain]

We had Queensryche for the make up dates. No complaints from me.

And Uriah Heep on a different leg if I remember correctly. Both great bands, but together they could not sell out theatres.

How are Maiden travelling on this tour? There's no EF1 so are they in tour buses or flying?

Their stuff is travelling by trucks. The band members are travelling by planes. And in the USA, they will surely take buses. Between the countries in North and South-America, they will take flights.

Private jet for the band; tour buses for the crew.

And band members are traveling separetly.

So 6 private jets? Small wonder t-shirts cost as much as they did!

@Aggelos @Samantas5855 26,000 -30,000 seems just about right to me.

Big Greek newspaper:

Iron Maiden: «Γκρέμισαν» το κατάμεστο ΟΑΚΑ με σόου βγαλμένο από άλλες εποχές

Τουλάχιστον 50.000 κόσμος «ταρακούνησε» το Ολυμπιακό Στάδιο το βράδυ του Σαββάτου με τη «μελωδική» φωνή του Μπρους Ντίκινσον, ο οποίος λογομάχησε με θεατή – Δείτε εικόνες και βίντεο του protothema.gr από το ιστορικό live στην Αθήνα

Yep each member of the band travels city to city on there own timeline. Some arrive earlier, some later if they chose to spend there days off in the current city etc

It wasn’t « κατάμεστο» (completely full) at all. If you check drone photos you’ll see that density on the pit wasn’t that big either.
It’s true that immediately after the concert some estimations were talking about 40,000 -50,000 while the media quickly copyed each other and reproduced that number.
However, a few days later, drone photos, careful estimations and leaked data from organizers reduced that number.

Which is quite different than the 2018 leg.

AFAIK, the band was based in Bratislava for most (except the early part) of the European tour and flew together with private jets to the venue.

Including the f***ing cunt with the f***ing flare

nope

It's not totally true : he can still fly private planes like Cessna or Spitfire... But he can't fly Boeing or Airbus anymore.

Did his license expire?

 

[gazda]

I think it is about rest hours after the show or something like that.

 

[gazda]

Speaking of private jets, last few months I am on route from Persian Gulf to UK and Baltic Sea with Jet Fuel cargo. Prices are crazy high.

So it seems that Maiden company is not too much affected with pandemic

 

[Eddie620]

Did his license expire?

Bruce explained this in some interview, that basically after a certain age British pilots are expected to retire.

 

[GhostofCain]

He’s an old fart.

 

[Samantas5855]

A quick Google search told me the age of retirement is after 65, he'w still 64
