I think this is pretty amazing. I am so glad I bought my tickets when I did. When I heard 40000 thats when I got nervous and bought the next day .
Ok, so I'm clever enough to have bought my ticket already but a friend clearly isn't so if anyone has a spare please get in touch! Thanks!
Yeah, I knew as soon as Maiden was announced, AND they started selling WAY earlier than ever before, that I had to order early. Of course a lot of tix are probably being held by scalpers, so people who want to go bad enough will still have a good chance of scoring one.....for a little extra.
I must admit I was quite lucky. I only ordered my ticket when I saw a message on the German area of the site saying that Wacken was likely to sell out by the end of March/early April, although strangely I never saw this info on the English area. Anyway, my tickets arrived on Tuesday!
I am so incredibly lucky. I booked my flights a few weeks back, but only booked my festival ticket TWO DAYS AGO. I have shipping confirmation as well now, which I received yesterday, I can't believe my luck.
If you choose to go by bus to WOA from Göteborg, Sweden, there are still tickets left, they don't sel single tickets though. 2225 SEK = about 237 Euro for travel and ticket They do go from other Swedish cities (other countries?) as well: https://www.festivalbussen.com/english.aspx
i knew it would sell out early when the Christmas tickets sold out before the festival was finished last year!
