Thanks chaps, been looking everywhere to find out if and when day tickets were going on sale.
Chuffed to bits Motorhead and Maiden are playing on the same day, my 2 favourite bands in the world.
Only been once since Monsters Of Rock days, when Maiden played a few years back.
Did my first in 1981, and although I'd love to do all 3 days, I think it'd kill me now, although it'd be impossible anyway.
Might join the Maiden fan club just to make sure I get one.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they don't do presale on day tickets to these festivals on the Maiden website. If it was me, I'd save my money and just keep checking the Download website a couple times a week starting mid March. Also if you use Facebook, or know anyone who does, Like the Download page and they will status update when the day tickets go on sale. That said, even if they sell fast (and what I read suggests Rammstein may be more likely to sell out 1st for some reason) it will probably still take a week or 2. Just book as soon as you see them for sale and you'll get one.

how is doinington, ok i guess, answers are quite subjective, but is there any guy, who made it in the past?

Maiden fan club is good for their arena shows but agree with lard you'll be unlikely to see a deal on there for Download. Having said that, it's worth joining it if you like them and for future tours - they do early entry and spaces by stage for some shows for the FC. Being cheap, do what I do and persuade your brother to join it and then reap the benefits of his membership...!

I saw Maiden 4 times in 2011 on the Final Frontier Tour, and got my tickets on presale via the fan club. Of the four I had 2 dates standing, and I 'won' first to the barrier both times. I was right at the front in Nottingham, and would have been at the O2 show, but my mates got held up in traffic. So I found some other fanclub members and gave them the code to take my place while I waited for my mates.

Lucky enough to know Mr Gers, and went out on the lash with him again after the Cardiff gig on the FFT.
He's a top lad, like all the Maiden boys, so down to earth and unassuming it's ridiculous. That's why they and Motorhead are so popular, as what you see is what you get, and no big time bullshit attitude.
Still haven't met Lemmy and the chaps, I'd love to go on one with them!
I'd be amazed if the Maiden FC didn't have some kind of pre sale as that's what I love about them, they always try to look put their fans first.
I know quite a few already in the FC so I've got them on the job for me.
Might as well save a few quid after all ! Arf,arf!
All I want to hear now is Lemmy to growl Scream for me Donnington, and Bruce to say, We are Iron Maiden and we play rock'n'roll!

I'm going! Fantastic line up! Hopefully see (with any luck no clashes)
