Iron Maiden - London Show Sells Out In 12 Minutes, Add Second Show
Iron Maiden have announced a second show at London's O2 Arena for August 4th after the first of their scheduled shows sold out in just 12 minutes. The band have stated it will definitely be the band's last UK show this year as soon after they head off for a few selected US shows before a trip around Latin America including headlining Rock In Rio and National Stadiums in Mexico, Chile and Argentina. The British heavy metallers also recently played at Download Festival 2013 at Donington Park.
Tickets for this second show are available to buy now from http://www.theo2.co.uk, http://www.axs.com and http://www.livenation.co.uk and, like the first show, all ticketing will be paperless to protect Maiden fans as much as possible from touting and inflated pricing on the Secondary Ticketing Market.
The band's singer Bruce Dickinson said: "We've all been having such a fantastic time on this tour. From the very first show in North America last year to the European dates we are doing now, it's just been tremendous fun. Our fans have been brilliant as usual, and seem to be loving the set-list and the stage production! So we thought that because this tour has been such an amazing experience for band and fans alike, it somehow seems right to finish up back home in England and have the final show celebration on home-turf. And now instead of one night's celebration back home we get to have two!"
The entrance to the event will only be granted to those that originally purchased the tickets and as such must bring the credit or debit card used to make purchase along with a government-issued photo ID in order to gain entry to the event. The band and their management Phantom Music will also endeavour to invalidate any tickets we find to have been purchased on the secondary market, including the sellers 'legitimate' ticket/s.

I was a bit disappointed with the sound of the show here it Portugal and that ruined what could've been perfect because the setlist/visuals were amazing.

I didn't find anything wrong with their show when I saw them the day before my birfday last year. But there's no denying that they're gettting helllllllllla old. Some of the members are around my dad's age (63) I think. Anyway, selling out a show in 12 minutes is impressive. Most pop musicians can't even get stats like that haha.

I'm talking about a band from the UK who claim to be so proud of being British, and constantly use the Union Flag on stage, Yet spend as little time touring here as possible. What they did back then is hardly relevant. I'm talking about now.

Written by Alakazam on 04.07.2013 at 04:44 the reason they sold out this show so quickly is because they hardly tour the UK. in the 80s in 90s there was an overkill of UK shows by Maiden. In the 90s they hardly sold out a show at all. Only in SOuth America did they manage to sell out shows at the time. Due to poor attendances they decided not to tour the UK that often any more.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 04.07.2013 at 13:55 I still think it's amazing they sold out 4 consecutive nights at the Long Beach Arena in California in March of 1985. 13,000 people a night for 4 nights, wow.
