>as I know a lot of people that were going, having never seen Alice live before, that were really turned off by his set since he did the exact same thing Maiden does in their set.

That's their problem. He did it before Iron Maiden even existed.

Yea, and before 2010, when is the last time he did it? ...Before Maiden existed. Eddie coming onstage is Maiden's trademark and has been done on every tour since '82, whereas with Alice it's one thing out of a show full of theatrics that he's done on a handful of tours.If he's all about "showing the Maiden fans what Alice is about" like he said in the press release, then he shouldn't be using Maiden's gimmick if he really wants to take any new fans out of it. The Maiden crowd aren't an easy bunch to win over (I've literally seen openers get booed offstage by Maiden crowds), and using the walk on will do Alice no good.

I'm a huge Maiden fan and even bigger Alice fan. He will have no problem winning me over.

Did any drop the big bucks for a fan club membership and get decent tix?

Which "big bucks" and which "fan club membership" are you referring to?

I believe he's referring to the iron maiden fan club where members can get presale tickets. The big bucks is about £25 for a full membership and I believe an online membership which still entitles you to the tickets is cheaper.

I bought my tickets for the Noblesville, IN show...I could have bought closer to stage but the tickets are a bit pricy so I just stuck with the middle seats...I am okay with that...still going to be an amazing show...always wanted to see Maiden anyway so this will be awesome.

At the spur of the moment... just to see what would come up... I tried for tix for the June 30th Bristow, VA show through the regular on sale... and was able to land 2 PIT tickets!

I just couldn't pass 'em up... so now Coop show #2 is scheduled!

Anyone who is only interested in seeing Alice would be displaying dedication above and beyond the call of duty if they did that.

Interestingly, the show has "ticketless" ticketing (at least for the GA PIT) which means you show up with your credit card and photo id and get admission. All members of your party must enter together.

This has to hurt the scalpers. Maybe that's why I was able to snag PIT tix on the regular on sale.

Kudos to Maiden for doing this.

Yeah I have my Dayton show and the Noblesville show so there are the first 2 shows of the year...hopefully more in the fall...

RemarkablyInsincere · Post by **RemarkablyInsincere** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 4:23 pm

Columbus? You mean Dayton.

Yeah I corrected that..I am going to a horror movie convention in Columbus so I am getting my shows crossed lol

Yeah but it sucks for people like me who don't have a credit card lol

There are prepaid credit cards and debit cards. I imagine either of those would work.
