Hi!
How many Maiden gigs you've been on? Where? What tour(s)/year(s)?
I've been on 2 Maiden gigs. First one was 14.11.2006 at Helsinki Hartwall Stadium. That was on A Matter of Life And Death tour.
Second time was this summer, 18.7.2008, at Helsinki Olympic Stadium. Tour was Somewhere Back in Time.
You can see a few videos of those gigs in YouTube. I also have a bootleg of the first gig. Tell me if you want it and I'll PM it to you.

LOL =D The processing of waiting is boring though the anticipation is there.. hehe =D ANd like u say, sometimes, when u manage to get the best view after fighting and pushing to it, and only to lose it right at the start and ended up not being to really watch anything can make me lose all mood.. haha

That's true, especially if you've waited for a REALLY long time and it's your favourite band... But if you DON'T get pushed back, it's really amazing to see the band very close, especially when you've waited long to get that good place...

Yeah, it's pretty annoying when you have waited for 10 hours to get near front row and when the band starts playing, you notice that you've been pushed 20 rows back! But it shouldn't be boring, at least in the field... So if you've never tried standing tickets, try them once and I think it won't be boring anymore...

WOW! THAT Download gig? 
I might have seen you on the video 
I have heard that Twickenham was one of the best gigs on this tour so it's a pity you didn't get to see them there 
But maybe next time, when they have released their new album... Can't wait to hear it!

That's a pretty good place, you must have waited some time before the gig... And I'm also sure that their new album will be great.

Wow, that early gigs? Wish I had a time machine, I'd travel back in time and go see them in the golden 80's. But I don't have one

You mean the one they recorded and released as a dvd? If so, your first Maiden gig was great! Or even if it wasn't the Rock in Rio gig, I bet it was awesome anyway

World Piece Tour in California where me and my fiend snuck backstage and met the whole band except for Adrian Smith as they were boarding their tour buses.........not Dave Murray though, he drove off with some blonde chick in a Porche.
i had all their autographs on my ticket stub until SOME F*#@ER STOLE IT!!!
i also saw the Power Slave Tour twice and i saw them a couple of years ago here in Las Vegas where we got right up to the stage.
and it will take some pretty extreme voodoo to keep me away next time they come to town.
