Iron Maiden will be filming the June 22 date of their “Run For Your Lives” tour at La Défense Arena in Paris, France. As such, the band are planning to enforce a phone-free standing area.

The group commented:

“Tomorrow’s show at La Défense Arena will use Yondr pouches to make the standing/General Admission floor entirely phone-free while we record the ‘Run For Your Lives’ Tour film. This will enable us to create the optimal viewing experience for our fans on release, and a unique viewing experience for our standing fans in Paris.

If you have a standing ticket, your device will be locked in the pouch on arrival and unlocked when you leave at the end of the night.

Bring a physical payment card to use at the bars and merch stands.

There are areas within the arena where you will be able to access your phone for emergencies.

Your pouch will stay with you for the duration of the show – no one else will be handling your device.

Head to the venue early to make sure everything goes smoothly.

This is ONLY for the standing area at tomorrow’s show. No other show will use Yondr pouches. This was declared when the tickets went on sale last year. Adjustments for disabled customers are available with proof of disability. Pouches can be unlocked in designated areas for you to access your phone should you need to.”
