The Official Book of Souls Tour 2016 Thread (Warning: Spoilers within!)

[The Mid-Distance Runner]

The FC is currently advising members to register on sellers' websites in advance of the presales, too, ready for the rush. That's the NZ, Australia and South African tickets they're talking about, though

Tickets go on sale for the Australian shows this Thursday but the presales have been open since last week. I purchased early by signing up to
http://www.daintygroup.com/tour/iron-maiden-2016/. I recommend signing up to daintygroup to purchase before the public release.

Ps - asides from Fan Club presales I don't really agree with credit card companies, phone companies etc being allowed to offer tickets in advance. It's a little unfair to those who must wait.

Is there any word yet on when the U.S. dates will be announced?

 

[Brigantium]

They've gone quiet again. That usually means something is about to happen.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

I have so many things crossed that I can't even walk right now!

 

[Brigantium]

Careful now. You don't want to trip and fall the second the tickets go on sale...

I'm really impatient! I check their facebook page a thousand times a day...

The new 27 minute Maiden song off their upcoming triple album.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

Oh, you crazy people! LMAO!

 

[Jemlyn]

Today is a very good day. I scored a ticket each for a workmate and myself for the Melbourne show. Really pumped now!

Number 7 Germany. Lot of new entries this week worldwide, 5 above Maiden in Germany, otherwise would be Number 2.

 

[Mariner]

I got my tickets for the Brisbane show. I was jumping around my back yard like a little kid at 5am in the morning. Haven't seen Maiden live since 1983.

I love this! Five Finger, whose albums sold more copies than TBOS can't even sell out half of 7,000-8,000 capacity venues!: http://www.theprp.com/2015/09/23/ne...ive-finger-death-punch-gwar-helmet-etc-shows/ Maiden may not sell as many albums or get nearly the amount of radio play that FF does, but they do much better at their concerts so that's a huge win for them!

hope this happens

I saw that Black Sabbath will visit Copenhell 2016. They will also play in Stockholm (at Friends Arena) as part of the Monsters of Rock festival. I fully expect Iron Maiden to also be announced there. Copenhell will take place June 23-26 20106 and the Monsters of Rock thing will take place on June 9th 2016.

and Download festival tix go on sale this week. I get the feeling they will be there too

 

[Black Wizard]

I agree about Download. They've been posting about Iron Maiden a lot recently.

 

[Brigantium]

£185 for three nights camping plus fees on early bird rate. I'll still wait, I think.
