Isn't the area a popular holiday destination?
Oh maybe, first time I heard of this place and I searched for flights and there aren't many. Maybe in the summer there are more direct flights for more parts of the world

Pula is OK to get to TBH. I drove down there from Ljubljana this year (only motorways, except a small part around the border). Also, there is Uber and busses down there.
If they do Pula, I'd imagine it will be one of the first, if not the first gig of the tour, unless they do an extensive southern Balkans run before. This also diminishes the chances of a Ljubljana gig to basically 0.

Zagreb, Ljubljana aren't too far away? And then you also have some travelling fans, although they are a minority unless it's the first show of the tour.
Takes me back to the tour start in Lubljana two years ago. I talked with a guy from Zagreb who had driven there. He was on his second bottle of wine, but he explained to us that the arena was going to be so hot he would sweat out all the alcohol by the end of the show so he could drive home safely.

Ljubljana is 200 km's from Pula, Zagreb is 270 km's from Pula. You all should looking for camping there.

Maiden are brilliant for having kept basic tickets closer to £100. Maybe it’s because they get better than average merch sales compared to other bands.
I like that way of doing things - you choose if you want to throw in an extra £40 or £100 at the merch stall, but the basic ticket remains a fair price for this day and age.
Metallica in London next year has joke pricing by comparison, really expansive tickets.

It might be in some sections, but my tickets for Metallica at London Stadium are cheaper than what I had to pay to see Maiden at the same venue this year (in both cases, seats in the upper tier section).

I remember when I was a kid a family on our road went on their summer holidays there, I was under the impression it was like a "costa del sol" type of area, maybe its not like that anymore, but the fact that Easy Jet and TUI fly to the airport there would suggest to me that it is.
Nothing is confirmed, that's only wishlist.
Arena Pula cilja najveća imena: Iron Maiden, Nick Cave i Sting na wishlisti za ljeto 2026. ⋆ Muzika.hr
Arena Pula sprema se za najambiciozniju koncertnu sezonu u svojoj suvremenoj povijesti. Nakon "razočaravajuće 2025. godine",...

Translation of one paragraph:
– Next summer we will have 15-16 serious, big programs in the Arena. The goal is for the concert season to last from May 1 to September 1 – says Mihovilović. His announcements do not stop at numbers. The wish list for the summer of 2026 includes Iron Maiden, Nick Cave, David Byrne, Sting, OneRepublic and Carl Cox. The word “expected” is still hanging in the air – no one has been confirmed – but unlike previous years, the Arena will now announce the competitions 14-15 months in advance, which is the standard for global promoters.
One thing that is questionable is whether Maiden's stage can logistically fit into the Pula Arena. The stage is designed for stadiums/halls, and the Arena is a historical monument and is not that big. The capacity of 10,000 is questionable when it comes to Maiden. Anyways, fingers crossed!

Would the opening shows of the previous few tours, Ljubljana, Zagreb and Talinn not be in that neck of the woods?

The Istrian coast around Pula is the real holiday destination rather than Pula itself from what i saw.
It has indeed been a destination for decades as Yugoslavia originally pre the 1990`s war period but it is not like the Costa del Sol , much more laid back and less commercialised. We as Brits were a minority in our destination which was a pleasant surprise.

SAZNAJEMO: Jedan od najvećih bendova svih vremena sljedeće ljeto u Areni?
Jedan od najvećih bendova svih vremena, legedarni heavy metalci Iron Maiden, nastupit će sljedećeg ljeta u pulskoj Areni! Iza ove vijesti još uvijek ide mali upitnik čisto iz razloga formalne naravi, ali Maideni dolaze u Pulu. I to, najvjerojatnije, dva dana za redom! Fenomenalna je to vijest...

Probably finishing contract between Maiden agent/management and organizers. As far as I think, Maiden's Pula concerts are 99% confirmed. Just my opinion. Stage will be no problem.

You would have a tons of hotels and apartments for renting in the area of Pula. But dont be suprised with very high prices since this is one of the most popular places.
Croatia every year is more and more expensive and now with implement of Euro, prices are even more higher.
I think during summer time there will be around 15 flights per day to Pula.
If I will not be on ship, I will come 1 week to Istra region with family and go on show. Actually I never visted that part of Croatia, it is my goal for long time.
