Maiden’s European Winter tour 2006 is off to a flying start with 37,100 tickets selling out for the 3 Swedish shows within just an hour of going on sale, Bergen selling out 8,000 in just 30 minutes, Tempere 6,600 in a couple of hours and first day sales in Helsinki of over 17.000!

All in all, first day ticket sales across Scandanavia exceeded 83,000. In an effort to in some way cater for the massive demand to see the band, the promoter EMA Telstar has been able to secure a third date at Stockholm’s 13.300 cap Globen for Saturday Nov 25 and tickets will go on sale the morning of Thurs Mar 2. Unfortunately there is not space in the tour schedule to add any other dates in Scandanavia.

Full tour dates for the rest of Europe are to be announced on the evening of 6th March.
