The VIP section will be located on the left side of the stage.

Attention: It’s better to avoid the I Anello Ovest Numerato section because, as indicated on the seating chart, it has limited visibility, meaning you might not get a clear view of the stage (tickets for this area start at €104.59). Other areas with limited visibility include the I Anello Ovest Numerato (yellow), II Anello Ovest Numerato, I Anello Est Numerato, and II Anello Est Numerato.

Regular tickets will be available, but for a premium experience, consider purchasing the TROOPER VIP Package, which includes:

• A seat in the “Gold Numbered Ring” section for prime viewing.
• Access to the TROOPER pre-show party, including a buffet and two drink tokens.
• Exclusive Iron Maiden 50th Anniversary VIP merchandise, plus a commemorative concert ticket.
• Photo opportunities and a chance to win autographed memorabilia.

Remember, Iron Maiden concerts tend to sell out quickly, so it’s best to act fast once ticket sales open.

Getting from Milan to Padua for the Iron Maiden Concert

Padua is about 240 kilometers (150 miles) from Milan, and there are several convenient ways to travel to the concert. Below are your options:

1. Bus 4 Fun – The Easiest and Most Affordable Option

One of the easiest and most economical ways to travel to the concert is with the Bus 4 Fun service, designed specifically for event-goers. Buses will depart directly from Milan Centrale station to Stadio Euganeo on July 13, 2025, and return after the concert. The trip details are as follows:

Departure from Milan: July 13, 2025, at 09:30 AM, arriving in Padua at 14:00.
Return from Padua: July 14, 2025, at 00:30 AM, arriving back in Milan at 05:00 AM.

Round-trip tickets cost €70, but if you book early, you can grab them for €34.90, making this the most affordable and convenient option for those who want to focus on enjoying the show. The bus ride lasts about 4.5 hours each way, and you’ll be traveling with fellow Iron Maiden fans, so the party can start on the bus!

2. High-Speed Train – The Fastest Way

If you’re looking for a faster journey, consider taking a high-speed train from Milano Centrale to Padua Centrale. The ride takes about 2 hours, and two main train companies offer this service:

• Trenitalia: Base fare is around €45 (as of September 2024).
• Italo Treno: Flexible tickets are available for €39 (as of September 2024).

Although tickets for July 2025 aren’t available yet, sales for summer departures typically open around April 2025, so be sure to book early. Once you arrive in Padua, you can take a taxi to Stadio Euganeo, which is about 5 kilometers from the city center. It’s also possible that special buses for concert-goers will be provided from the train station to the venue, though details have yet to be confirmed.

3. Bus Service with Itabus or Flixbus – Budget-Friendly Option

For a more budget-friendly option, you can take a long-distance bus service like Itabus or Flixbus, both of which offer direct routes from Milan to Padua.

While ticket prices and schedules for July 2025 are not yet available, it’s a good idea to check for bookings starting around March/April 2025. These buses are generally a more affordable option, though they take longer—about 4 hours—to reach Padua.

4. Renting a Car – The Most Flexible Option

If you prefer to have complete control over your schedule, renting a car might be the best choice. The drive from Milan to Padua covers about 240 kilometers (150 miles) and takes approximately 2 hours and 35 minutes, depending on traffic. However, keep in mind that you’ll need to park near the stadium. While parking maps for the concert haven’t been released yet, here are the typical parking areas around the venue:

• ZONA 1 – Park Sud: Adjacent to the stadium on Viale Nereo Rocco, with 1,500 car spaces.

• ZONA 1 – Park Nord Stadio: Via F. Coppi, with 400 car spaces.
