So, June of last year I got to see Iron Maiden in San Antonio. Getting the tickets was an ordeal. I got them from ticket master, paid 75$ to get as close to them as possible. Using quick wit I got to the floor even though I wasn't supposed to be there (I'll post about my experience later). So anyway, on with the questions.

How am I supposed to get floor tickets? Is joining the fanclub mandatory?

I tried looking for backstage passes, I was willing to pay up to 1000$ for them. Where can you get them, and how much are they usually worth?

Anyhow, thanks for your time.
