That's going to be great!
Sad as it sounds - it took me 1½ hours to drop off the night we booked these because I was so excited & happy about getting the tickets
Shame we can only ask 1 question each (and obviously no guarantees they pick yours) as I have LOADS I'd love to ask. Maybe the question I should ask is
"After 42 years as a fan, can I buy you a beer after the show? - I have too many questions to fit on this card."
I was amazed a bit of LUCKY "google-foo" found the tickets - because despite the site itself originally saying they were sold out:
- 1) It appears the site have been releasing the tickets in batches so "sold out" in November wasn't really "SOLD OUT" now.
2) Even though they state they can only be purchased through THEIR website, I found some on Ticketmaster classed as "Platinum" tickets (not resales, and 100% genuine) that were NOT available via their own site (I.E. - some in the 1st 3 rows!)
Cost a bloody fortune (you don't want to know!

) - but (as you are well aware) Bruce is up there with my fave rock gods - so I couldn't pass this up. Me Son was quite pleased too

We never know how long any of us are here - so what the heck!

Agree. If you can swing it, go for it.
None of us are getting any younger, and may never have another chance in the future.

Yeah - so my apologies - but I may have to skip a few months of that bribe/protection money I send that "allows" you to let me stay on the platform.
My accountants will, however, be in touch.

It's been a crappy last few weeks for a lot of people round the world (let alone the last 2 years of stupidity!), but tonight will doubtless lift the spirits of a few folks in New Westminster, BC.
2 hours until Bruce hits the stage

Hope you have a great time.
I'm sitting here being jealous of my daughter who saw Papa Roach last night in Cincinnati.
She posted a bunch of pics and short videos on FB.

He certainly doesn't skimp on the time he's onstage - about 2 hours for the 1st part, 20-25min gap, then another hour with the Q&A (my question didn't get picked . . . but I think I know why.
He was a little too vulgar at times, but still very entertaining. His multiple impressions of Nicko were the highlights of the show.

Glad you had a good time.

Sorry - been a bit preoccupied helping out everyone except myself for a while (effin' life - it sure as heck gets in the way of itself!)
You might get a chuckle RE the "question" I glued to his submission card:
And here's the larger version of the photo of the signed inner sleeve:

Don't click on this link either

. . . (added now for historical/search purposes).
Maiden headline this years "Download Festival", Sat 11th June 2022. It may have been renamed from "Monsters of Rock", but it's still held at Donington.
Bruce still sounds in AMAZING form!
