It's unfortunate for Heep that it's their farewell as they are probably more popular now than they have been since the 70's. Sadly that's the reason. Mick Box is 77.

I'm in for Iron Maiden at London Stadium. Standing.

I?m going to try for Glasgow, I don?t have fan club but I can do Live Nation presale tomorrow.

[Dave Boy]

Yeah, I have 02 Priority pre sale. It took me to Ticketmaster site.
I had over 4000 people in front of me when sales went live at 12pm.

Be prepared..

For London was..

Standing ticket ?95.00
Service Charge ?11.80
Handling Fee ?2.75
TOTAL =?109.55

[Susan Foreman]

At least it will be a fair system

Iron Maiden confirm dynamic pricing won't be used for 2025 UK tour / Planet Rock

A extra ?14 for booking something, they certainly know how to find way of making money and fleecing ppl, isn't price of the ticket not enough?

[Justin101]

Ticketmaster don't get any portion of the ticket money, they make money entirely out of the fees, which is usually a percentage, so a higher priced ticket means higher fees, while the handling charge is a set transaction fee.

I'd always advise buying directly from the venue, but many arenas don't run a box office and send their entire ticket stock to the agencies so it's not always possible.

My ticket from SOMEWHERE ON TOUR 86/87

That paperclip has seen better days haha.

It?s crazy Phil McIntyre is still a huge promoter these days we get loads of his tours through our theatre.

Would have loved to have gone to that tour, unfortunately I was only 9 and didn?t discover Maiden for another 2 years lol.
