My fellow Americans -which show are you going to? MA or NY for me!
Pretty pumped -I already saw them twice on the first leg of this tour so I'm surprised to see them back here.

Bristow, VA for me!
Fantastic! Did you see them on this tour yet? They were great.Quote:

I wish they were going to be playing near me. I missed out on seeing them last year. Definitely one of the best bands I've gotten to see live!
They go on pre-sale on 1/24 for the fan club. Looking forward to seeing them again on 6/27.
Las Vegas Nevada for me!!!Omg you have no idea how excited I am!This will be my very first Iron Maiden concert EVER!!!
Philadelphia baby!
Charlotte, NC. on a Friday night. This will be my 5th time since the Somewhere back in time show in Los Angeles in 2008 or 2009. I didn't get to see them the last time they were in the US though
Is this near Washington DC? I think this is where I saw them a few years back when Dream Theater opened and It was pouring down rain. Everyone there was soaked. They dedicated Blood Brothers to Ronnie James Dio and there was actually a real Rainbow in the Dark over the stage. Truly surreal moment.Quote:

Bristow allows tailgating, so we will be there early. Lots of good food and drink. There is a big retail center down the street a little ways with plenty of pregame options if tailgating isnt your thing.
I mentioned before I never been to a Maiden show therefore this will be my very first and I'm actually sacrificing Anime Expo LA for this concert since its on the same weekend and I usually always go to LA for that event every year on the 4th of July but I really wanna see Maiden so I have to skip AX for this concert,you guys can guarantee that it will be worth the sacrifice right?I am so ready to scream for Maiden.
They are very much worth it. This will be my 8th show in the past 30 or so years. I wish it was the 80th.
Guaranteed! I am so excited for you to see them for the first time. You'll be blown away!Quote:

Seen both Exodus and Ghost live and they ruled, I also heard good things about Kamelot
The only thing that bites is its gonna cost a lot of money but at this point I don't care,this is my only chance and the money I spend for this concert would be just about the same as I would have spent in Anime Expo LA.
I am taking my bf with me and a friend of mine is in the process of making me an Eddie plushie and when she finally sends it to me I'm gonna take him with me :) (Powerslave Eddie btw)
I'll be going to the San Antonio show, i'm stoked to see them play with Ghost (for those of you who haven't seen Ghost, they put on a helluva show)! Did anyone see Maiden last year? I was wondering how heavy the setlist would be with older favorites.
I saw them in Arnhem, and I remember them playing Children of the Damned (which was really well performed), Trooper, Powerslave (yusssss), Hallowed (it's back yay), FotD, Iron Maiden, NotB and Wasted Years (cool choice for a closer). And Blood Brothers. I bet they'll change the closer for 2017 and replaced CotD with a different deep cut off Number of the Beast (The Prisoner maybe). Maybe they'll also swap out Powerslave for a different song (2 Minutes maybe?)Quote:

Just got my tickets for Charlotte, NC. Got section 1. I am glad I was patient with ticketmaster site, almost settled for section 12
Anyone care to share how much are the tickets? I live in Raleigh NC so closest would be Charlotte. I'm a lifetime Maiden fan and would love to see them in concert for the 1st time. Missed them a few years back when they were in Raleigh.
Got my tickets this morning!
Sprint Center, Kansas City, July 11th.
See my fellow Troopers there in the fan club section.
Up the Irons!
All said and done, $478 for four in the fan club section. (Premium seating)Quote:

Thanks mate. Seeing a Maiden concert live is on my bucket list...I have to wait until Friday when they open up the tickets on Friday. Really hope that I can get some tickets for the wife and myself.Quote:

Paid $650 for 4, but that was because of the additional vip tickets/parking I purchased. For just the Premium seats it's $100 plus the ticket fees.
The fan club is only $40 to sign up and lets you get 4 seats at each venue.
This is for the New Mexico show.
You can also download the Live Nation app and get them a day early that way. Sometimes you can call ticketmaster and get a promo code as well.Quote:

Managed to get 2 tickets in Section 5, but further back in Row P. Sigh, was crazy today with the mobile app pre-sales...seats were disappearing like mad.
Oh well, better than the lawn sections and it is in the center, so I'm happy. My first Maiden concert...yea...Up the Irons!
Btw, has anyone purchased these Trooper VIP packages: http://troopervipus.tunestub.com/eve...cart&id=254979 ? Is it worth it?
In for Bristow, Sec 302, row F...
Shoulda done presale, but glad to be in opening night!
Flying from the Pacific Northwest to Las Vegas. Section 7.
I've been a huge Maiden fan since 1989, but somehow this will be my first time seeing them live.

It took me awhile too. I have been a fan since 1983 and saw them first in 2008. They only played California and New York in the States for years. I got Pit Passes and flew from South Carolina to Los Angeles for the Somewhere Back in Time tour. I have seen them in Virginia, Tampa and Charlotte since then. Hope your first experience is awesome, I am sure it will beQuote:

For those curious about their setlist, here was the first leg of the Book of Souls tour:
http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/iron-m...-73fcb6a9.html **Spoilers**
If they make tweaks at all they'll only be minor as Maiden doesn't vary much if at all on a tour. Pumped to see them yet again!
And I'm excited for those here who will be seeing them for the first time -you're in for a nice treat!
First glance at the setlist, and I thought: "Maiden covering BOC I can kinda get, but Smokey Robinson?"
No kidding...

I have never seen Ghost live, but I have heard that they put on a hell of a show. Like others here, I have been a longtime fan (1985), and it took me until 2012 to see them live for the first time when Alice Cooper opened for them. I have seen a lot of concerts and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen!Quote:

Cheers!

Did the same thing for this tour using Apple Music. If anyone feels like listening to it, here's a link https://itunes.apple.com/us/playlist...f669f6652a45b2
Thanks for sharing that -gonna grab it!Quote:
