I don’t know what you think, but based on recent years — and especially on the RFYL tour — Germany is currently the band’s biggest market in the world.

So that's why we haven't heard from Rod in a while. He's been busy rigging, and I don't mean PA and light fixtures.
 
Another mistake made by the management. Maiden will sell out a 50k capacity festival in Czech Republic, but last year they've sold 60k tickets. Sad.

They overstimated the demand. The reality shows something different. >I'd like to see the tour as the next big success (as you suggest), but now, unfortunately, nothing shows that.

I really don't follow your logic here. A festival bought a Maiden appearance and have, for whatever reasons, capped their sales at 50k (and this is a multi day festival by the way). What in the name of Zeuss' butthole (fantastic Nic Cage quote by the way) does that have to do with anything? That's a rather pathetic doom-and-gloom argument on your behalf if you ask me, apologies for me being a bit grumpy today.

People are generally both naive and lack understanding of how these things work. There's the idea of a band that plans a tour, book venues, promote gigs, sells tickets and book transfer and accommodation. Maybe in the era of the "Green Goddess" but not at this scale. You put yourself up in a market and the highest bidder wins. You agree and a contract is signed. The promoter sells tickets using a third party and the deal on who gets what in terms of revenue is under tight NDA on all levels.

Think touch of sarcasm regarding Maiden in Czech Republic.

2025 great success overall. Maybe 2026 doesn't reach those heights, some concerts not selling great, but still likely to shift a serious amount of tickets.

Announce rest of world please and be done with it!
