Iron Maiden have announced that next year’s 50th anniversary headline tour will not have dynamic ticket pricing.

The ticketing practice in which costs rise and fall with demand – and has been a huge talking point lately as Oasis’ reunion gigs have seen some pay hundreds of pounds more than they were expecting – will not be used by Maiden, a move that has been praised by their fans.

“Capping ticket resale price should be law,” writes one fan on Reddit. “Good on you Maiden.” “My boys done good!” says another. “Thank you Maiden!!”

A third agrees that, “Another solid proof that they want their real fans to see them play, and not just the people who can throw the most money around.”

“FYI There will be no dynamic ticket pricing for the 2025 Run For Your Lives Tour,” the band explain. “Ticket resale in the UK will be capped at face value and won’t open until much closer to the start of the tour. As always, we urge fans to only purchase tickets from approved outlets.”

Speaking about what’s planned for the Run For Your Lives Tour, manager Rod Smallwood announced last week: “We will cover classics and fan favourites from the first nine albums, from Iron Maiden to Fear Of The Dark, many of which we haven’t played in years and many we will likely never play again in the future. We have already been hard at work for months putting together an even more spectacular and elaborate new show which will bring the songs to life more than we have ever been able to do before.

“This is going to be a huge couple of years for Iron Maiden, and Eddie of course, and we are very excited about what we have up our sleeves for you fans throughout the whole of our 50th year. I promise you are all going to be very happy indeed!”
