Last week heavy metal legends Iron Maiden announced a massive UK tour. Steve Harris, Bruce Dickinson and co will head out to British arenas and stadiums for their Run For Your Lives 2025 tour, playing tunes that span all nine Maiden albums.
Needless to say, there’s a lot for Iron Maiden fans to look forward to next year – including a stonking date at West Ham’s London Stadium.
But now there’s even better news. Iron Maiden shared in an Instagram post on Sunday (September 22) that they won’t be participating in controversial ‘dynamic pricing’. The band wrote:
‘FYI There will be no dynamic ticket pricing for the 2025 Run For Your Lives Tour. 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.’

All of which is undeniably excellent news for Maiden fans. Dynamic pricing is currently in the spotlight, following the Oasis fiasco which saw punters pay well over £300 for tickets.
Iron Maiden potential ticket prices
Tickets at Iron Maiden’s 2025 UK shows are expected to start from around £87 and rise to around £110.
When do tickets go on sale?
General sale is on Friday September 27 at 10am,
A fan club presale went live today (Tuesday September 24) at 12pm, while individual venue presales will start at 12pm on Wednesday September 25.
What is dynamic ticket pricing and why is it so controversial?
‘Dynamic ticket pricing’ is a strategy that sees prices change according to demand. It’s also known as ‘surge pricing’ and is controversial because it means that prices can increase to extortionate levels for popular events.
Dynamic pricing has been seen as particularly controversial in recent weeks. During the general sale for Oasis’ reunion tour, fans waited hours in an online queue only to find that tickets had rocketed in price from under £150 to over £350.
