News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

Spoiler alert - I doubt Phantom gives a shit. Tickets are already sold, what are they going to do? It's clear as day dynamic pricing was happening yesterday and it totally sucks.

The whole buying experience has left a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe I should have just let The Future Past tour be it. That show was amazing and really the last of an era in more ways than one.

They commented a couple of times in a thread on the FC essentially saying they did all they could, but ultimately the rest lies with Ticketmaster, and basically said sorry for your frustrations lol.

Welp, think I'm gonna wait for a likely second Chicago date. Pavilion's pretty well sold out already. I still wonder why they didn't opt for the soccer stadium in Bridgeview.

It's interesting to see which shows are selling well compared to others.

Harrison in NJ clearly hasn't sold anywhere near what they expected it to, unless something picks up in Hershey that show will be a disaster, and San Antonio there is like 95% seats still left unsold.

We are still talking about presale tickets here, right? You can't say anything about general sales until a few weeks have passed.

Edit: I went back a few pages. So it's not just the prices, but they have managed to f*ck up the presale by giving every living being a chance to get tickets due to codes being thrown around? Don't they have unique codes like last year in Europe?

True, but in comparison to LA, Toronto, Boston basically selling out in pre sales, Chicago and Charlotte looking close it doesn't look well for their overly ambitious venues, getting close to 50k in San Antonio was very optimistic. Hershey looks like its only sold 2k tickets lol

No one can explain why Boston had 40,000 in the cue waiting to get tickets yesterday lmao. Clearly most of that number were not FC members

IMFC codes were supposedly unique and let you in on Tuesday. Live Nation and Ticketmaster codes were not unique and let you in on Wednesday. Venue codes are only unique by venue and let you in on Thursday. General on-sale is Friday.

Yeah, I just found them and checked the Ticketmaster one for a few dates. I don't know what point is of all this. Fanclub presale is one thing, but all the other options seem fishy to me. Gouging the price in a fake presale so that you feel you are being let in to an exclusive offer that soon will disappear?
 
A second night in LA already suggests their ambition of upgrading venues is paying off in their traditional strong holds. Time will tell how they do in other markets in America.

LA pretty much completely sold out in the pre sales, which is a massive turn around from not being able to sell out the forum last year and moving the second show to Arizona. It's clearly the hits in the setlist that has much greater appeal.

Also no other show even close to Los Angeles.

Possibly true, but the amount of people that actually travel out of state for shows in the US is actually pretty small, typically you don't rely on that to push sales. But being the only city in California likely helped.

Isn't it possible that the tickets will reappear as resales?

The patronising nature of that message about the FC presale is quite irritating. Don't stress? Easy to say if you get to see the show for free!

I am surprised a text like this was released. To me it sounds really disrespectful. Like making fun of someone who said it would be very important to them to get Iron Maiden tickets and was having problems with that ("life will literally be ruined" :scared:).
 
You know it’s a busy time in Maiden land when multiple pages go by without acknowledging the return of a legend.

So, one thing I did NOT like... tFP we had VIP Trooper, got right up front, lower balcony, sat right in front of Natalie and Sweet Pea. And had a great time... way cheaper than $520! This time it is back by the mixer, which is ok... i guess. but we bought our 5 up by the stage lowers, then I bought ONE Vip Trooper. Just to get the schwag and experience. Gonna try to sneak my crew in. For $520, I think that covers 5 with one merch pack. Done! Anyone else going to San Antonio?

Hope Kim will be there!
