Author Benedetta Baldin - 8.5.2026
Bruce Dickinson, the singer of Iron Maiden, spoke on the red carpet at the world premiere of the documentary “Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition” on Tuesday night, May 5, at Cineworld Leicester Square in London, England, as per Blabbermouth. He talked about how the music industry has changed over the past forty years, particularly in terms of touring.
The problem you have is that costs keep going up and everything else. But that’s not an excuse for doing crazy, crazy ticket prices. We’ve always tried to keep our ticket prices lower than the general norm because, frankly, we don’t want a bunch of very rich people standing in front of the stage. We want real fans to be standing there, and they don’t always have loads of money. So it’s really important for us as a band to have that facility. We want young kids at the shows, and they don’t have loads of money. They’re gonna get their money from dad. But dad, these days, money’s tight. So it’s important to try and keep ticket prices within the bounds of reason.
