IRON MAIDEN @ TWICKENHAM, 5th JULY 2008

by **jonny_boy34** on Tue Nov 20, 2007 8:47 pm

They are twats, and I am very unsurprised that they are touring everywhere else apart from the UK, they have been getting more and more mean to their fans for a while now. But the fact still remains that this'll probably be the last amazing live show Iron Maiden will ever do, unless their next album is amazing, which it probably won't be. And I bet tickets will be £1000. I hate Iron Maiden. But I also love them very much, and they're one of the best bands in the world, the bloody bastards. What a dilemma. Not much of a dilemma though because I'm definitely going. But I probably won't be able to afford it, which'll be a shame. Bloody bloody bloody hell hell hell. Wacken better not fucking sell out any time soon!

My drum teacher kind of knows Nicko, and he told me a while ago that they're actually only allowed to spend a certain amount of time in the country each year, I don't remember what the stupid reason was but that may be why they're only playing one show. I dunno though. I'm definately gonna go to this, how could I not!? Fucking yes! this plus Megadeth is just amazing.

How come they've never been restricted to one show in the past then?

They're (mostly) cockneys.

Sounds like "we are doing a stadium for the first time ever and we want to make sure it's full by not playing anywhere else" to me. Or am I just cynical?

They could easily do a gig up north and both would sell out.

oh get over it. it will take a few hours to come down, if you book in advance the train will be cheap, whats the biggy?

by **Lev** on Tue Nov 20, 2007 10:47 pm

I'm seeing them in Germany. No biggy.

I'll need injections if I'm coming up to London and I hate needles.

maybe its tax reasons like the strolling bones.

but yes, having maiden & megadeth over again is amazing :-)

for any of you who aren't in the IMFC (presale on 28/11), livenation are doing a presale on 29/11 - general tix onsale 30/11. make sure u register an account with livenation before then, its the only way i had a chance in hell of getting brixton tickets last year \m/

I may just get my mum to get me a ticket as a christmas (or rather, chanukah) present. Hmmm.

by **Mazz** on Thu Nov 29, 2007 1:25 pm

My mate just got me a ticket

by **James** on Thu Nov 29, 2007 1:33 pm

Craig and I (and my younger brother) have tickets - thanks Craig!

Price was a whopping £55 each though, after charges!!

by **jonny_boy34** on Thu Nov 29, 2007 1:36 pm

£58 for me! I just got tickets for Jamie and myself. Oh well, I didn't think it would be anything less than £50 anyway, and fucking hell, for Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Powerslave, it's going to be fucking worth it!
