IRON MAIDENВ won't be joining other veteran bands in "raping" their fans with excessive ticket prices. Frontman Bruce Dickinson has very strong feelings about this practice.

Dickinson points out that on the US and Canada leg of their world tour the top ticket price is $90 and as a result they're still an important act with a committed and young audience – unlike certain bands who 'milk' their own crowd.

And he singles out EAGLES shows for being an example of the worst kind of prices and the worst kind of attendees. "We don't do $250. That's bullshit – what is it with these 'heritage' acts?" Basically you're seeing a bunch of bands who have been around for a while doing the same old shit."
