The Future Past tour 2023

[Kalata]

Wasted years should be a closer, a happy song which leaves you with a smile on your face while you are exiting arena.

Yeah, but because Wasted Years was such a special and unique closer during TBOS tour, I think they will close with something else - HBTN, Hell On Earth, TWOTW (live favorite) or Running Free, for example.

 

[Ancient Marinator]

It would be pretty cool if they ended the encore with TWOTW.

 

[Kalata]

I wonder if Steve will use his blue bass on some shows next year as a throwback to the 1986 tour...

I know he used it during TBOS tour, but did he use it for LOTB tour? He also used it during TFF and SBIT tours, iirc.

Since there is concern about Nicko’s ability to drum the SIT songs, maybe now is the time for him to use the assistance of double bass?

I know it’s un-Nicko but it might be just what is needed.

No chance, because he said it himself that his left foot is much much weaker. Kevin needed to level the bass drum hits on Face In The Sand.

I think tomorrow might be the day, when the last 5-10 dates are announced.

I hate that the IMFC code is one entry only for Spanish shows, so, could any IMFC member here, who is not going to Barcelona check if there is a fan pit for that show? Would be greatly appriciated.

Why do you think tomorrow in particular? Are announcements normally on Thursdays?

All of them were so far.

If I am not mistaken, the Lisbon gig was their biggest in Portugal ever.

You are right. But have a lot of spanish people in there, I guess it was a sold out show. Maybe they'll return to play indoors again

Far from sold-out. Was there and the seats were only half full. The floor was full tho.

I was at the floor

 

[matic22]

I was at the floor

Me too and it seemed to me like the back stands were half-empty.

I was in the middle, near the reggie

 

[matic22]

I was in the middle, near the reggie

Yeah. I was in the 6th row to the left. And I remember that the side stand was full, however the back one had a lot of empty seats.

For what it's worth, here are the official boxscore data for the Lisbon show (courtesy of a fan club member with access to industry publications):

Lisbon, PORTUGAL – Estadio Nacional (27,282 / 30,000) Gross: $1,829,274

I think the highest attendance for a Maiden show in Portugal prior to 2022 was 17,839 in 2018.

Yup. The floor was basically sold out, as was the left hand stand. I'd bet most of those unsold tickets were on the back stand.

 

[Dick Brucinson]

Aren't they beautiful

Strange. Hannover is 15 cent cheaper than Dortmund.

 

[Poto]

Just both London shows for me, I’m afraid. Travelling abroad to see Maiden is a thing of the past for me.

@FTB gets to keep his tickets then

No fan pit

There is a rumour about a gig in Austria in August.
Hope it's true.
