A close friend to Andy Copping said there were more than 5k, so probably the real number was more in the 75k region. It was the show with more comps since Cardiff 2017 (which is why the boxscore for that show is so low)
Production tickets. Nothing new under the sun. Even Coldplay and Taylor Swift have production tickets released close to show day.
In 99,9% of the shows production tickets released prior to show day ends up being unsold.Production tickets that were not sold, judging by what @BQOBD and I saw at the stadium.
In any case, the show was a massive success.
I don't know about several thousands, since there were only 404 seats unsold on June 21st. Anyway, production tickets are not taken in account for official boxscores, whether they're sold or not. There are some promoters/countries which release the full numbers on their own (always happen with Ullevi, for example), but they're always higher than the regular boxscores since those include comps and everything.
Next year.
Not exactly, they knew about AC/DC and GN'R tours - these bands announced their dates 5 months before their tours started. If the IM LATAM tour starts in October next year, they might announce the dates in March or April. We don't know the plans and the schedule of the events. It's 50 Anniversary celebration, they're announcing many other enterprises, projects, and attractions along with tour dates, which are only a part of the whole enterprise.
There is absolutely nothing wrong. Those shows are almost a year away. Last time Argentina was announced in April.
Yeah, it's not that late to leave it until December or January.
Exactly, and the public needs to regain its purchasing power.
It depends where you are from, people like us who are South east asia region dont get the opportunity to see iron maiden on a regular basis, hence we need to plan our trip much earlier. During the TFP we could plan as the tour dates were announced almost a year before hand.
