Actual Iron Maiden Downunder news

[Spiff]

Do we have absolute confirmation that the online club is what we need for early access to tickets tho? Does anyone know how it will actually work, as in, how it will give us access and not the general public? I would just like to know as much about it as possible before joining, is all.

Yes. See my previous post of what is on the website.

When Mark and I booked our tickets for the London show last year I believe we were given a link to whatever mob sold the tickets. He'd be the best one to discuss this because he's a member and he's done the ticket thing before.

I'm sure we'll be given a link to the bit on the Ticketek website giving us early access.

Spiffo it was your previous post that begged me to ask the question, as it doesn't mention anything about tickets at all...

In theory, it would only take someone with that membership to spill the beans on where to get the tickets online earlier anyway wouldn't it? Would just be a link and a password to a section of the ticketek site I assume?

Australia pre-sale
Published: September 5, 2007

Yes, we will be doing a fanclub (online and offline members) pre-sale for the Australian gigs. Watch this space for info over the next couple of weeks.

We're also planning to do First To The Barrier, but as the gigs aren't until February you don't need to worry about that quite yet!

This is the post I was talking about, not the one listing the member benefits.

I'm assuming you would get either a link or a password. Pretty sure there's no way they'd be able to police it, but I may be wrong.

Presale.

As mentioned in the FC news (!) it's for IMFC and IMOC members. But the IMFC members must have online accounts (though if they don't, they won't be reading this).

Not sure what the allocation per member is yet, but it'll be at least 4 tickets per member, per gig.

Sit back, relax, the pre-sale doesn't start til the 20th. You'll be PM'd your codes in plenty of time.

I reckon MD might see a few more visitors over the coming months.

 

[Spiff]

There's a bloke on the official forum called Aussie_Wrathchild who uses the MD logo in his avatar. Not sure who he is, I guess he either pinched the pic or used to post here. Any ideas? He's from Brisbane.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Joined. Now, someone inform us all how to retrieve the relevant info for the presale, and all should be well.

I dare say that when they open the presale you'll get your code PMed to you from the Iron Maiden board, and you'll type it in when you go to buy your tickets. Seems to be the only way they'll be able to police it, really.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Yeah... Or they'll email it to you.

I just became a member of the Online Club just now.
Can't wait.

 

[phlogiston]

Fucking Paypal. I rarely use it, and payed by direct deposit rather than Credit Card, and it's taking forever to clear the funds.

Andy from LORD perhaps? I know he goes by Aussie_Metalchild around here and was a Brisbanite

 

[Goreripper]

Yeah but he's from Sydney now and he's never posted here.

Now available at Eddie's Megastore:

 

[Spruce Goose]

I'm listening to AMOLAD at the moment.
Some cracking songs on this album.
For The Greater Good of God is killer.... That's on right now.... Pretty damn epic.
I'm kinda spewing that they won't play any of these songs or BNW songs

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Yeah, For The Greater Good of God is one of the best things they have ever done, as is the album. It makes me like Maiden even more knowing that they are still capable of such material. Brilliant stuff.

That said, don't be sad that the tour will be all 80s stuff, the 80s stuff rocks too.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Yeah... no sadness.... It's all good.

I've been listening to the whole back catalogue and remembering how fuckin good maiden are.

Somewhere in time is my favorite.
Good from start to finish.
I wish they would play CAUUUGGGHT SOMEWHEEER IN TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME
That is in my top 5 Maiden songs I reckon.

Only album I never really could get into is.....

You get a gold star... or in lieu of the appropriate emoticon, a beer

I'd also go as far as to rate it their first album which was really any good at all.
