Earlier this year it was revealed that Papa Emeritus and the nameless ghouls of Ghost would be opening shows for Iron Maiden on their summer tour. But Ghost are not content to let things stand with just those dates, adding a slew of headlining performances that will take place within the flow of the Iron Maiden trek.

Thirteen new dates have been added to Ghost's summer touring that will be separate from the shows they have planned with Maiden, giving the band more of a chance to expand upon the length of their sets. Pre-sale tickets for these newly announced shows will go on sale today (March 28) at 1PM local time, with the regular general public on sale set to start this Friday (March 31) at 10AM local time.

In addition the band has announced a pair of special VIP packages for those who want to add to their Ghost concert experience with a little something extra. The Papa Meet & Greet Package includes one premium reserved or general admission ticket, VIP early entry into the venue, a meet-and-greet with Papa at his altar of worship, a personal photo with the singer, a collectible 8 X 10 autographed Papa Emeritus photo, a specially designed collectible Ghost spirit board, a commemorative Ghost coin, an official Papa meet & greet laminate and an exclusive ghost tour merchandise item. The Papa Meet & Greet package has very limited availability, so act quickly.

Meanwhile, the Ghost-Popestar VIP Package includes one premium reserved or general admission ticket, VIP early entry into the venue, the aforementioned Ghost spirit board and commemorative coin, the exclusive Ghost tour merchandise item and a Popestar VIP laminate. Check here for additional details and availability. And to stay up to date with all of Ghost's touring, head to this location.
