Bucharest too, but it will be double their previous attendance's record in Romania. And so many others.

Bucharest will probably end with a result that satisfies both the promoter and band. Same with Sofia. These aren't exactly markets where they expect a sell out. Athens is already looking better than in 2022 and will end up with a good result. Bratislava is heading for a sell out, same as Hannover. Lisbon is also doing well.

The Paris and Lyon shows are the disappointing ones, and probably Knebworth.

USA is mostly good, with the exception of the second show in Harrison, but it's still a long way to go.
 
just chill they will eventually sell out most of their shows, perhaps the only exception is east europe. There is still a long way for north and south america plus its holiday season.

Japan and Oceania they will definitely do well. Their only mistake is doing too many shows in Europe IMO after having a 2025 european tour.

Seeing how the promoter in Romania is promoting the show, maybe it's going to be bad for them (Maiden get paid a fixed fee so who cares). But again it's because of the venues' size.
 
A little common sense would go a long way here. The tour is not going to flop and at the same time it will not sell out every venue. Athens will not be a sold out and Romania will not be a friends and family gig.
Will the tour overperform? Probably not.
Will the tour underperform? Maybe, but definitely not a flop.
Did they overestimate the potential? Maybe yes, maybe not, we'll see. It's possible that they booked stadiums expecting to fill a 70% capacity because there were no other venues available at these specific cities with that kind of capacity.
Did ticket prices play a part? Absolutely. Especially considering it's the first time Maiden have really let down a lot of people with ticket prices.
But in the end tour will be a success.
And if we are lucky they'll go back to touring arenas next time, where the production they have belongs.

This. Romania doesn't have indoor arenas, and it would be stupid of them playing one arena show in countries like Greece or Italy.
Where they overstimated their status is Knebworth. They could've sell out another London Stadium if they wanted to, but instead they went for a poor excuse of a festival.

They won't. Next tour (if there will be any, remember that many times in the past they said they would not announce what their final tour would be) it's gonna be stadiums again, despite how this leg will sell. Aside from the fact that we all saw this coming (playing less bigger shows instead of many smaller ones), Rod has confirmed they're going to play stadiums only from now on.

They're at already more than 32k sold. To put this in perspective, in 2024 they sold 35k tickets sold a couple of months before the show.

I hope the fans will do the same next year. Maybe we think the current dates aren't selling so well because 2025 was a tremendous success, with fast selling out. I suppose Rod overestimated the demand in some cities and put all marketing down, not the first time. To me, Paris doesn't look good either. I don't know how they wanna make the concert movie here...
