Pass.
How much of a dose is this gaf to get in and out of
Gettin in not too bad, getting out painful.
Ah fantastic, this is a great announcement.
havent seen them since 2005 or 2006, really looking forward to this one.
Just hope Ticketmaster dont act the c**t with the tickets.
I still have a sore hole from the cost of Pantera.
I'll give it a miss too. Can't be arsed with Malahide, it'll be north of a ton for tickets and there'll be songs from No Prayer... and FOTD. Fuck that.
I see they've kept up the tradition of having shit support acts.
I'd guess you'll get Bring Your Daughter and Fear of the Dark and perhaps one other from those albums. 9 albums and probably only 16 songs at most. Though they should do the Charlotte the Harlot trilogy in full - Turn the stage into one dodgy looking brothel :laugh:
Malahide is a lovely venue. Those 2 albums are grand too.
A Wednesday night too, don't think we need to worry about dynamic pricing forcing the price up anyway
No they played Belfast 2 years ago outdoors and it might have just about sold out 15k. I'd say this is a bigger outdoor venue maybe 20 -25k? They'll do well to fill it
Great news about the gig, was worried it might be Belfast and they seem to have done every Belfast/Dublin alternatively for the past few tours. Surprised they're back so soon again, maybe they're thinking how long more can we go on and they're trying to do as much as they can while they are able :)

Hard to predict, they sold out the 3Arena last time, I see Malahide Csstle is 20k, isn't 3 Arena 16k, so only 4k more.Never been there, would have preferred the arena to an outdoor gig, but hey, I'm grateful they're still touring.
3 ARena I thought was 13k
Looking forward to this in hope they cut out the long songs..seen every tour since dance of death and getting progressively more bored with the longer stuff..give us 1.5hrs of party pub metal.. would sell a bollock to hear tailgunner , holy smoke and a few killers numbers. Early days tour killers numbers were meh
Haven't seen them since they played the 3 Arena back in 2010? Probably head along to this since the chances of seeing them much more are getting fairly slim
Caught them on the Early days and Somewhere back in time tours and Maiden England from 2013/14 so I've pretty much seen the set list a few times. Expect FOTD (obviously) and perhaps Afriad to shoot strangers. Not sure what the play from No Prayer.. these days. Never heard anything from it despite it giving them their only no 1 UK
Probably will have to give this a miss again, seen them 13 times already and with a kid these days and it being a school night gigs dont happen as much these days.
And of course what they charge as well these days for gigs

First and last time to see them was on the DoD tour in The Point... twenty years ago now come December ???
Considering the age of these lads, the fact that Nicko is already stripping back some of his drum parts, this could well be one of the last times to catch them.
Is Nicko's son not waiting in the wings to overtake live duties?

21 years ago that one, my first time seeing them.
I like No Prayer, I rarely would reach for it, but I'd be at the stage now where any variation is interesting to see live.
Can't see me busting myself to get tickets when they go on sale, but I'll be in Malahide next summer no doubt.
I get the nepotism, but it's just so boring to have The Raven Age constantly support. Who fuckin cares.
Oh fuck me you're right, it is 21 years this year.
So that's the same timespan between then and now, and then and The Number of The Beast ???
At least getting to gigs will be a lot fucking handier once we all have bus passes :laugh:
Deadly news! As said before it might be the last time they play here. I'm tempted by the London date too.
That gig in the point in 2003 was the one and only time I've seen them.They are a band I loved in my very young teens getting into metal.But a band I grew out of fast,I'll see closer to the date,never been to Malahide Castle.
They were good last year in the 3 arena not good enough to suffer through this though.
Hard pass for me
Tempted but how the hell do you get out of Malahide after unless you are driving?
I was getting the last train from Connelly out to maynooth from the iron maiden gig last summer in the 3 arena and the train was full of people who had come from the Blur concert in Malahide castle, so presumably one can catch the DART?
Yeah Dart would be wedged though, not sure I'd want to rely on it.
I got the Dart from there after the Cure concert a few years back was the finest
Iron Maiden won't have dynamic ticket pricing for their Run For Your Lives Tour
https://www.kerrang.com/iron-maiden-wont-have-dynamic-ticket-pricing-for-their-run-for-your-lives-tour
Planning on heading to this. Have seen Maiden loads of times but it can't be too long now before they pack it in so will catch them when they're here. Any info on ticket prices yet? I can't imagine they'll be able to charge too much if they plan on drawing a big crowd, apparently it can hold ~20k?
It's €83-€88 before fees
I reckon I'll go - last time they did a retro set in the RDS was great, even if the sound wasn't the best.
Front standing was €96.30 after fees.
Mastercard presale link. This presale is happening now and I'm guessing anyone can use it but you need a mastercard to pay.

Had a front standing in the basket then Ticketmaster kicked me out... the dirt worst site!

I went back for a 2nd front standing ticket yesterday afternoon, was only getting normal standing but kept refreshing the basket and got another front standing after about ten minutes.
Yeah a few refreshes throughout the day might work, hopefully.
The Mastercard presale accepts Revolut, apparently.

If not, there's another MCD presale tomorrow.
Am considering bringing my two young lads aged 6 and 8 to this for their first gig. I've never been to malahide so no idea of set up, eg is there a natural amphitheatre or is it just a flat field? Am I mad even thinking about it with two small boys in tow? Any of ye ever bring yer childers to metal gigs?

My son's first(and only gig so far) were Iron Maiden in Paris 2 years ago, he was 8 at the time.
He wasn't really interested in it much, to be honest. My daughter was 13 at the time, and we've visited a couple of Metal gigs together aftwerwards.

Gas you mention it as I was only thinking about this today. My young lad (10) is starting to get into his music (he likes some stuff from Metallica, Megadeth and a bit of Maiden)...and is pestering me to take him to a gig. I'm in two minds about this as, from a purely selfish perspective, you're definitely not going to get the same level of enjoyment out of a gig where you're constantly on alert looking out for the kid, making sure he's not getting bumped into or encountering drunk morons. I dunno if I'm ready for that yet. And two kids? God help ya!
Brought my 7 yr old to Sum 41 , yes I'll leave the hall, in Fairview Park this summer. It was brilliant tbf, staff brought us aside on entry, gave us wristbands for a kids section of the pit area (golden circle), we had normal price tickets. They informed us what to do if she got lost etc, they were top class. Once we established most of the pit was safe enough we went into it with her on my shoulders. She had the time of her life. Obviously Maiden will bring a far bigger crowd and drunks etc so its your own shout. If it goes well tho its a great experience

Be more hassle than its worth,still a bit young I'd say.
My eldest is 12,has no interest in music,but my middle fella is 9 and definitely has the music bug.Will definitely get him to a gig at some point.
Sorted a few Front Standing via that MCD presale so happy days.
Haven't seen Maiden since 2017 so a bit overdue!
My young lad is 4 - looking forward to hopefully bringing him to a gig but it'll be waaaay down the line :laugh:
Feck they'd want to be 12 or more really, there's always a lot of walking at these gigs , plus if you want to get midway up they'd want to be able to take a schlap
I'm guessing the front standing are the pit tickets?
Went on this morning and there was just general standing available
Front standing tickets were only a fiver more than the general standing so not surprised they are gone, I got mine in the MCD presale yesterday.
I assume there will be more front standing released when the general sales begins in an hour.
Given that it's only a fiver more I imagine the front standing section is massive? Probably more like front half of the field rather than a pit/gold circle.
Is this actually sold out? Doesn't seem to be anything on Ticketmaster.
Quote from: jpm4 on December 07, 2024, 08:52:36 PMIs this actually sold out? Doesn't seem to be anything on Ticketmaster.
Seems so. I have a spare regular standing ticket if someone wants it, let me know. Just looking for the price I paid for it.
Wow that's a surprise. I thought there'd be a few tickets left even on the day.
I'd recommend checking Ticketmaster every now and again. When I tried getting a ticket on the day of release, all the Front Standing tickets had already been sold in the pre-sale. :( Over the following weeks, I checked Ticketmaster about once a week and eventually (just over a month ago), I saw Front Standing tickets become available. I was going to be in town the following day and I was lucky enough to get my ticket from the good people in The Soundcellar. :)
Front Pit standing tickets available on Ticketmaster right now. Not resale so just normal price. In case anyone has missed out, now is the time to bag them.

Nice one!
Ah sound, picked up a Front Standing there - never been to Malahide for a gig, is that a sort of pit/separate section? When you click on the site layout on TM it just shows you a pic of the band, very helpful altogether.
Feels like a silly question but things with tickets have changed so much over the last few years, I just want to check - I have a gold circle, mate of mine has a normal standing. At Malahide Castle, does my gold circle ticket work for both regular standing AND gold circle? I know at Ac/Dc in Wembley - one entrance on the left led to regular standing and the other entrance on the right led to Gold Circle, dont think you could come out of it with the way the layout was and just wondering is that a new a thing nowadays or just a one off? :laugh:
Usually when it's just a big field like this you get a wrist band allowing you access to the Gold circle but you're allowed out the sides and can access the general standing area to get to the merch and bars at the back - but I haven't been to Malahide with this setup so don't know for sure.
