I have my alarm clock go off at 6:55 in the morning. Usually end up snoozing until at least quarter past.

Students.
I'm on the wrong side of the 40s and still think that everything that preceeds 7:00 am is damaging for the morale and the health. So I understand why the Wizard has to stay in the Black. Maiden has been kind to French: nothing before 10 am.

Is there any clarification on this? I wouldn't mind paying extra if it gets you into the "golden circle" or whatever, but if there is no golden circle then I don't want to pay all that extra cash just for a frigging lanyard... "Collector's tickets", Jesus, they just love to milk us for all we've got don't they!

Got my Paris Download ticket. Quite difficult : the sales opened at 10:00, and at 10:05, they announced that they were short of daily tickets. After trying again, I got one. I wonder how many people had opter for a three-day pass instead. I'm now waiting for the full line-up.

What a history!
What a history!
It was designed by German architect Werner March in emulation of a Greek theatre and built between 1934 and 1936 as the Dietrich-Eckart-Bühne (Dietrich Eckart Stage), a Nazi Thingplatz, and opened in association with the 1936 Summer Olympics. Since World War II it has been used for a variety of events, including boxing matches, film showings and classical and rock concerts. It seats more than 22,000 people. The venue is located off Friedrich-Friesen-Allee just northeast of Glockenturmstraße ....
After World War II, the Olympic grounds were within the British occupation sector of Berlin. They were released for public use beginning in 1948,[11][13] and the amphitheatre was used for film showings, including for the Berlinale,[14] and beginning in 1960 for boxing matches. Use for concerts began in the 1960s,[13] but when The Rolling Stones performed there on 15 September 1965, the theatre was severely damaged. Fans stormed the stage, and after the band left after a set of only 20 to 25 minutes, fought police, who attempted to control them with rubber truncheons and fire hoses, and destroyed the seating, fire hydrants and other furnishings. 270,000 DM in damage was done, in a riot that fulfilled the dire prophecies of some Berlin newspapers about rock concerts and was the first inter-generational battle of the 1960s in Germany.[15][16][17] A reporter from Bild wrote of the concert, "I know Hell."[18] The arena had to be completely renovated[13][19] and was then little used until 1978.
Jimi Hendrix played his second-to-last appearance in "Berlin Super Concert70" held at the Waldbühne on 4 September 1970. Alongside were also Ten Years After and Procol Harum. In the reality series Pawn Stars, Rick Harrison bought a rare poster for this concert for $4000 (episode #20 of season 5, aired 30 January 2012).[citation needed]
Following a concert by Bob Marley in 1980, it became well known as a rock venue, and has been regularly used for that purpose since.[11][13] Other artists who have appeared there include Depeche Mode,[21] Metallica,[22] Queen,[23] U2, Eric Clapton,[14] Tina Turner,[24] Muse and Rod Stewart.[25] Barbra Streisand gave her first concert in Germany there in 2007.[26] It also hosts classical music concerts, including by the Berlin Philharmonic, an open-air film series,[13] and special events including an appearance by the Dalai Lama[27] and televised football matches.[28] 49 years after they first played there, on 10 June 2014, the Rolling Stones returned to the Waldbühne during their 14 On Fire European tour.[29] ...

Well, I've had people from this board at my place before for Berlin gigs, so let me know if you feel up for it.

II've been there twice, it's very impressive. Always thought it would be too big for Maiden.

Do you know what the tickets/seating arrangements usually are? Is it general admission or are there seat bookings?

That is very kind of you, still contemplating about gelsenkirchen tho, 1 hour drive from here and only 125€ for 3 days with Maiden Headlining.
Tempting
That's a good question. I know the stands are subdivided into blocks, but as far as I can remember, the seats don't have numbers. So my guess is that you will be able to buy pit tickets and then they'll have different categories for the stands.

I very much doubt I'd be able to take two or three days off midweek, but if I can, this is the show I'd like to go to. Berlin is one of my favourite cities and the venue looks very interesting.
