The official IRON MAIDEN website has issued the following message from Ocesa Presents' Guillermo Parra:

"An overwhelming demand for Iron Maiden tickets sold out the 22,000 capacity Sports Arena in a record breaking 4 days. As we do not wish to disappoint the many more thousands of fans in Mexico who wish to witness this memorable concert we have fortunately been able to move the show to the much larger Foro Sol Stadium.

This is a multifacility venue, being a concert venue, the home of the Mexico City Devils (baseball) and also the home of the very important car race events like NASCAR and CHAMP CAR."

Meanwhile, the following "Bruce Air 2008" update has been issued:

Says Flight Captain Dickinson, "Following on from the terrific success of previous sorties by Flight 666 to such diverse destinations as Reykjavik, Paris, Stockholm. Milan, Belgrade, Dublin and Oslo we've decided to push the "boat" (plane) out and give people a selection of daytrips and one and two day stopovers and in the case of the Wacken trip, a voluntary personal Armageddon for the masochists among you!

I will of course be piloting each trip along with the wonderful help of my flight crew and the long suffering guys from International Concert Travel (ICT) and of course I will be attending my own 50th Birthday Party on the aptly named 'Birthday Bomber' to Warsaw which everyone on the flight will be invited.

All flights are inclusive of tea, coffee and a hot snack but alcoholic beverages are charged separately, although you'll need to be quick as these are normally sold out and drank before we've even left UK airspace!

As on previous trips you'll get the highly sought after 'Bruce Air' Bag with all it's assorted goodies including a personally signed certificate to commemorate your flight experience. In addition at the Trondheim, Warsaw and Prague, which are Maiden headline shows (and not festivals) we will arrange for you to be given early entry to the venue so that you are right up front at the stage barrier before the doors open to the public. This is in addition to the Iron Maiden Fan Club first to the barrier competitions run locally on the Maiden website."
