Iron Maiden - Shinedown 3Arena May 6th

Just as a matter of curiosity - for the seated tickets - if you get in with just your credit card how do you get directed to your seats? Surely it'll be a bit of a mess as plenty of people won't have seat details printed/saved on their phone etc.
Or do they scan your card again on your way into the actual seats?

This could be a disaster

Once I'm in for shinedown I'll be happy

damn, it's gonna be a nightmare alright, i presumed you'd have to have a print off and the cc, which makes more sense

I always thought seated tickets would get a slip with there section/seat numbers after they scan the card

At least for u2 it was only the standing tickets that were paperless and all seated ticket holders got physical tickets delivered

Wouldn’t mind if they took out something like Speed of Light, Iron Maiden.

Iron Maiden has never being dropped like...ever

I can see The Great Unknown and Shadows Of The Valley switching if they do double dates at the same venue, possibly the same with Wratchchild for Killers.

Setlist isn't particularly exciting but it's predictable enough.

Iron Maiden - Paperless -FAQ's
Sometimes the event organisers will ask us to use paperless tickets, to make sure as many genuine fans as possible get the chance to book.

How does it work?
When you book for a show, the card you use to pay will then act as your tickets to get you in on the night. It's all very clever – your card details are just transferred securely onto the scanning system at the venue, so on the night they just swipe your card, check it against your ID to make sure you are who you say you are, then you're in. No paper tickets through the post and no going to the box office to pick your tickets up.
One thing to remember – your whole group will need to arrive together. As the cardholder, you're the important one! Your guests will need to arrive with you to get in.
Virtual credit cards won't work as there's nothing to scan on the night – you'll need to use a physical card that you can take along with you.

Can I authorise someone else to use my tickets?
You can't – paperless tickets are designed to stop tickets from being passed on or resold, so this would make it too easy for resellers to get round the system. Please only buy tickets if you’re sure you're definitely going to the event. If your circumstances can change quite quickly, maybe you should leave it up to someone else in the group to book the tickets.


What if I go to the entrance with my kids and swipe my card – can they go in without me?
This isn't allowed – you, as the cardholder, actually have to go into the venue, watch the show and have a good time. If your kids ask you to book tickets for them and it's a paperless event, they'll have to make the booking on their own card if they want to go without you being there.
Don't forget, we accept debit cards as well as credit cards, so under 18s can still make a booking.

Can I transfer my order onto another card?
We can only ever transfer onto another card if the one you booked with has expired. It would still have to be in your name and address, so we can't transfer onto someone else's card.

What do I need to take with me on the night?
Confirmation of booking.
The credit/debit card used to buy the tickets.
State issued photo ID – that's a driving license or passport.


Will I get any paper tickets before the show?
No, sorry! If it's a paperless event, just bring yourself, your card, photo ID and your reference number.

What if my friends won't be there until later?
The whole group does need to go in together. If your friends are late and you go in without them, they won't get in.

What if my card is expired or it's been lost?
We'll always try and contact everyone whose card is due to expire before the day of the event so that you can add your new card details to the booking. You can then get into the event with your new card.
We might not always be able to contact you though – and we won't know you've lost your card until you tell us – so please remember to get in touch once you've got your new card.

Would a Student card or age card be acceptable ID. Dont want to carry around my passport ???

this system :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Same here, I need a ticket (standing/ seated .. I don't care as long as I get in!) and happy to tag along if one of the good people on Boards has a spare one

have a feeling ID will not be asked for and the Cards will just be scanned

This is what happened for the Maiden England tour in 2013 in The O2 in London. Just swiped the card and that was it.

Fantastic! I just checked but none are left, ... anyhow, one of the good people on Boards has a spare ticket so I guess I'll see you all there

will do thanks

Is photo ID not needed as well?
