RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

But some of these sold out quickly. At least the first batch of tickets, with the exception of a few VIP tickets and hotel packages.

Which is the weird part for me. If the shows sold out so quickly why they waited months to release thousands of tickets?
 
my theory is that they reserve some tickets for guests for each show but after they arrange everything and see who's coming or not, they sell these tickets... how did i come to this idea: i looked for both berlin tickets and exactly the same seats were open for both of the concerts. and the seats were the best ones, facing the stage directly, near to the sound desk... i mean the ones we usually see the family members in instagram stories etc...

It's not a theory, it's exactly that. But there are thousands of tickets left and I don't think they have thousands of guests at these shows. Which makes me think they have released new tickets also because now they know how much space the stage will take.

but why would you lie and say there's no tickets, when you have tickets that you want to sell, is that not counter productive?

I believe it is a deliberate strategy to reduce touts' access to tickets (or so they say). In other cases, they keep a number of tickets on hold for corporate packages/acquaintances and these are released closer to the date of the gigs. You will need to ask Rod Smallwood to see if that is indeed the case though.
 
I had a look at the tickets that are available for Gelsenkirchen now. I wouldn't consider these to be very good seats either in terms of the acoustics or the view of the stage, nor can they have anything to do with the stage design.

A lot of these will be probably be down to the venue as well, with certain seats, packages, corporate boxes etc. being available to sponsors then being released to general sale after a certain point if they hadn't sold.

Maiden using a ''bigger'' stage would be even more surprising than using more screens. A walk ramp would be curious. After all, they said the production will be spectacular and different and they're playing some stadium dates, so there should be more to it, right. The general layout will probably be the same (for Bruce to sing above the drums and due to potential screens, so the stage design can't be that much bigger, different in size), but more screens (all over the stage? like the upper half of the stage to match the decor with wide screen, that would be so cool, or even screens above the stage similar to the first 2003 tour, but bigger and better), bigger light show, more props (hope so), lots of pyro and animations are the things we should expect.
No backdrops, big screen (at least) so the animations/landscapes to be noticeable and effective (that's a must) and for the potential bigger light show. That's it. And it will be (different/cool) enough.

It's not about bigger stage or anything else. They always release some tickets, especially on show day, even though they've been using the same stage design for almost 2 decades.

Doubt the stage will be different in terms of size (at least not noticeably). They're playing arenas and indoor stadiums on this tour, which means they can attach everything to the roof. They can have a bigger stage in outdoor contexts, but that has happened frequently in the past as well (sometimes they have a 3-Tower Roof, sometimes a 4-Tower).

Rod Small (wallet) wood - so the cost plays a role. I don't think the stage will be different in terms of construction and size. Probably, they will use more props, lights, backdrops, and pyros - business as usual, anyway. The wheel of history is turning, and Maiden is still the same: big mouth promises before the tour, but ultimately not such a big surprise. They have done that many times in the past.

OK, but that's the same thing they've used to do many times in the past. They announced production that should leave the fans jaw-dropping - so it would be so big as Rammstein uses for stadium shows, no way.

Rammstein was playing stadiums only, Maiden is playing all kinds of venues. Honestly, if they bring out a flaming 666 during NOTB I would be left jaw-dropped.
