IRON MAIDEN - Sarnia Bayfest Appearance Drawing Fans From All Over The Globe
March 6, 2012, 12 years ago
According to The Sarnia Observer, Sarnia’s summer music festival is attracting international interest thanks to heavy metal legend IRON MAIDEN.
Tickets for Bayfest’s July 14 show featuring Iron Maiden and ALICE COOPER went on sale last week, and requests have been coming from all over the globe.
This is the first year the festival has hosted a heavy metal concert, and metal heads are gearing up.
“They’re coming out of the woodwork and they’re very excited about it,” said Chrissy Taylor, from Bayfest corporate sales and sponsorship.
“People will just phone the office and tell us how great they are live,” said Bayfest co-founder Michele Stokley.
The festival’s website wasn’t set up for ticket requests outside of Canada and the United States, so the Bayfest office has received concerned e-mails from die-hard Iron Maiden fans.
Stokley remembers the hysteria that surrounded KISS’ first visit to Bayfest in 2009. Fans paid hundreds of dollars for a meet-and-greet with the band, showing up in full KISS costume.
But the response from Iron Maiden fans is still surprising, Stokley said. The festival is working to update its website to allow for orders outside of North America.
