The management should have done something through this site to ensure that this did not happen. It appears to be happening at every venue. They should have gone through Live Nation and done meet and greets, if they truly wanted to interact with their fans like they say they want to do. Scalpers can't buy those tickets up because you have to have picture ID and your name is on a list. Plenty of things they SHOULD have done to make this last tour something incredible for the band as well as the fans that have supported them for MANY MANY YEARS!!!
Yet another strike against JP management (lack thereof, IMO), if you ask me. That was total BS.

Yup, and it's TOTAL BULLSHIT and something the Priest management SHOULD HAVE controlled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The tickets should go to FANS! PERIOD! Iron Maiden blocks off something like 10 rows. You get a password if you are in the fanclub. Only people with the fanclub password can buy those seats. Then, to keep scalpers from buying them, you have to pick up the tickets at WILL CALL and present a photo ID matching the person that bought the tickets in the first place. NOT FUCKING HARD TO DO!!! You would think that Priest and their management would want hardcore fans in the front rows, singing and screaming their heads off. Now they will have what they always have, lame people that have money to blow on triple priced tickets so they can say they were there.....

I agree with you. Scalpers. I'm afraid since this is the last world tour they are going to do this at most shows.

I am so PISSED OFF right now!! I think it is complete and utter BULLSHIT that the entire first 12 rows to the Joe Louis show in Detroit was sold to a bunch of scalpers within SECONDS of the tickets going on sale. We were on-line IMMEDIATELY and the best we could get within seconds was row 14???? Tickets in the first rows are already on sale on the web for 2X and 3X the ticket price.
Gotta hand it to Iron Maiden - they give first dibs to their fanclub, not a bunch of bastards making a profit on the band!!!
So much for my 2 sons having a great view at the show
