Allow me to channel @GhostofCain and state that I doubt Rod and the band would want to give up all that fan club revenue because there would be no more FTTB.

Neither of the two Priest arena shows I went to this year were all seated. And whilst the Maiden show I went to had lots of casual passengers it was still lively enough down the front.
If somebody still needs a ticket: There are a lot of tickets available for Berlin II (30 Jul). It does not seem to sell that fast.
I wonder why they decided to tour Germany when Wacken takes place.
This is a fixed event every year for many German metalheads, even if they like Iron Maiden.

Steve: “‘Appy to play the oldies at West Ham’s home turf, that’s a dream come true. Up the ‘Ammers!”
Rod: “I knew you would fookin’ love it”
Steve: “‘ow about doing another tour later playing stuff from The X Factor onwards? I have plenty of ideas for new songs with the same chord progression!”
Rod (horrified at the prospect of having to play at The Cart and Horses): “We just fookin’ plan two years in advance ‘Arry”

He is usually quite rude to people who are sitting at a gig too. He seems to be totally unaware that there might be lots of medical reasons why people have to sit at gigs.

He wasn't too rude at Helsinki back in 2018 (although we did kinda puzzle his comments over after the gig, in-between bouts of gushing over the sheer ridiculousness of how on top form Bruce and Nicko in particular were), but let me tell ya that there was a practical reason why everyone in the nosebleeds was comfortably seated: the former Hartwall Arena was seemingly designed solely with capacity in mind.
Even walking to get to your seat even after having a few was a bit difficult since if you looked over to the arena floor side, you'd notice the extremely steep angle of the seating arrangement and the massive drop that would follow should you not respect gravity and decide to start jumping around. Nobody got up from their seats as far as I could tell, because there simply wasn't space to stand. So it was a little funny to hear him lightheartedly jab at the people with their asses in the expensive seats. Sure didn't feel like a premium experience to me up there!
I have received an email from “Emilia Fuchs” from myticket:
“50 years of Iron Maiden: The greatest show of all time”.
No wonder people want to see that.
That is indeed odd. I would love to know how this decision was made.

I've been to more Punkrock gigs (e.g NoFX , Pennywise, Lagwagon etc) than metal gigs and had my fair amount of moshpits going crazy. I just don't have the stamina anymore and don't want to get fucked up. Also, Maiden isn't typically the type of music to throw yourselves against other people ( maybe the first records).
I still jump up and down and sing along as loud as I can though.
Last year in Dortmund during the prisoner, 3 absolute units of guys started a rather rough throwing around of people and it was just annoying and it almost turned violent, with one of them laying on the ground with another bloke in a headlock. Nah, thank you

Can't remember who it was, but there was one frontman who started giving shit to a guy for sitting down but it turned out he was in a wheelchair

Maybe they couldn't start earlier because the studio is booked at the beginning of the year and then Bruce also wants to play a few solo shows and needs at least some rest afterwards.
However - why are they playing the German shows and not the French ones during Wacken, for example? Of course there are also French fans who go to Wacken, but I think that many German metal fans in particular plan to go every year.
Where is the member who always writes that the management is incompetent?

I hardly see any change in ticket sales for Berlin II over the weekend - still plenty of tickets available.

I'd say there was probably more than one time something like that happened, the one I'm thinking of was definitely a metal band, possibly someone like Fred Durst?????
