The Future Past Tour 2024

I used to think that was the case, but out of curiosity I have been checking the ticket prices for other acts playing two nights at the O2 in London (and, therefore, with a similar appeal to Maiden) and could not help but notice tickets being ~£10 than what I paid to see Maiden in July 2023 for a good number of them.

Interesting. I did this kinda comparison for Maiden a few years ago and Maiden came out cheaper. I was looking at prices for Belfast/Dublin. When Metallica, Bey Bey, Tay Tay and Ri Ri were all looking for £80-100 for a ticket, Maiden were asking £65 or £70.

It's all our fault anyway cos streaming. Still, those US fees someone posted previously are quite insane.

Yes, prices and fees are getting out of hand. I will be 59 next year and I'm already at the stage where I pass on concerts in general. Once Maiden and Priest stop touring that's it for me.

And for me. Fortunately I have a large collection of concert DVDs, Blu-rays, and videos to watch for the remainder of my years. In the 90s I used to go to concerts without a ticket and get great seats easily from scalpers for far less money than I pay Ticketmaster today for crappy seats. Something is rotten in concert world.

Sadly, it seems that Maiden ticket prices have caught up with some of the other big names. :(

Even Judas Priest are charging £80ish now.

I paid £45 for their last UK tour, and that was only in 2015.

On the Jugulator tour (1998), in Paris, the tickets were 500 francs (today's 75€ approximately, or £65), which led to an acrimonious concert review in Hard Rock Magazine (or was it Hard n' Heavy?). They were already too expensive.
 
Nice tour from the start of September to the end of November, and quite possibly continuing further on in December. Trivia: last time Maiden played in Nov-Dec was in 2006. And also Bruce and Euro-Bruce in the spring and summer as a bonus. Hopefully that is the full plan and Future Past doesn´t continue in 2025. New tour, and possibly new album.
 
If there's going to be a third leg of the tour in 2025, then the "future" part will need to be switched out for songs from a new album. They can keep the SiT songs in the set.
 
On LN presale today I bought tix for me and my son in nose bleeds for Ft Worth TX for only $65 each (all I can afford until child support stops next year).

Weird that didn't even ask for password...

I wasn’t paying close enough attention and got blindsided by the pre-sale starting today. All of the sub-$200 seats on presale required buying in multiples of 2, and I’d either go solo or with both of my stepsons, so that restriction blows. Wound up buying a single seat for $225 + fees, which landed closer to $300 after all the bullshit got tacked on. Insane after comparable seats for LOTB at the same venue cost $80 + fees.

If it weren’t Iron Maiden and we weren’t in the stage where every tour might be their last, I’d never pay this much to see a concert. Ever. Makes the M72 tickets I passed on seem like a relative bargain in retrospect.
