Maybe I’m dumb, but is it legit buying these tickets on Stubhub? Yeah the prices are a bit of a ripoff but I would have bought a couple if it didn’t involve driving 3 hours both ways to Dallas to stand in line all day. I guess I thought the whole point of Trent doing this was so they DIDN’T end up on these sites?

I think Trent put this dog and pony together just to generate demand and stoke the ego a bit. You'll be fine buying off Stubhub.

I've seen them play I'm Afraid of Americans before, but the latter 2 are almost never played, at least in the last several years. What the fuuuuuuuuuuuck

e: Yeah, checked setlist.fm and I Do Not Want This hasn't been played since 2009. drat.

Talk about a varied setlist, even if it does have a number of staples. I definitely would never call Year Zero having the most songs in a setlist in the year 2018.

Also, I get why TBITE is before Survivalism but it seems weird to open with Metal, to go a slow song, and then finally get to The Beginning is the End. That's a song meant to be an opener.

It sure would be nice. But for every one of us who would like that, there are 3 people who would be pissed to spend $100+ and not hear them. At least he retired Hurt and Closer (or gave them a break)

I don't think it's necessarily all old fans even, plenty of old fans only listen occasionally and don't go every tour and would expect the hits.

An ideal NIN setlist to me which would be hated by 95% of the people who are buying tickets and $10 beers and just want to scream "fist gently caress" and "I wanna gently caress you like an animal"

Secondary market prices for the two Detroit shows are steadily falling still. Has anyone bit on below-face tickets yet? I can get in the door for $55 and on the main floor for $75 (after StubHub fees)... At this point, I'm content to see if things drop even further as we get closer to the show date.

This is a good set list, but we all know there's no way he'll ever play The Perfect Drug. I'm pretty sure he really hates that song.

Why won't he play The Only Time again? That song is by far the best PHM played live.

Huh, I'm definitely jealous of that setlist. I dig favoring the older stuff over the newer.

This is basically exactly the kind of show The Cure played when I saw them 2 years ago. They played 3 shows here over 3 nights and I heard the setlist was different every night. But at the show I went to, there were very few hits. Definitely a different kind of set than I'd seen from them a few years prior.

Yeah I mean it's a dream setlist for an old fan who's seen them 10 times or so. He's also never played leaving hope or and all that could have been, or closer to God for that matter. I still feel like it was a wasted opportunity to not play And All that Could Have Been on Wave Goodbye. But the point is you can't let people like me make the setlists or most people there will be pissed.

To clarify, I wasn't there and I don't have tickets to any show (though I feel like the odds I'll resist stubhubbing one of the Chicago shows is basically nothing), I just was bored enough at work to pull up setlist.fm :v:

FYI, he played Closer to God a few times in the 90s.

It just seems to me at this point his fan base is more the hardcore fans that stuck around. It's not like he's snagging the teens these days. Wouldn't hurt to play deep cuts. For the record, that Vegas set list is pretty great with only minor quibbles as a fan that's seen him tons of times.

Oh well then gently caress. I only really got into NIN in the early 2000s, sorry. I wish I'd been there in the halcyon days :eng99:

And yeah the Vegas setlist is pretty good. Letting Closer, Hurt, The Hand that Feeds and a couple others rest is a good move. One day he'll do the same for Wish and Gave up...one day.

Edit: while I know he's not bringing in new teen fans, I really think you underestimate the number of older long time fans who won't know much of anything besides the downard spiral, broken, PHM, and maybe singles since then. The 3 sold out Chicago shows constitute 15k tickets, I'm not sure if there's 15k people in Chicago who know what Ghosts or Still are. I mean maybe there are, but they wouldn't want to hear the songs.

"Suck" is what I was thinking of, and yeah that was written by Pigface/Albini and I believe Reznor/Interscope failed to put that in the liner notes for the first pressings of Broken.

Also the Pigface version is better in every way, even Reznor's vocals are better on that version lmao

When I saw them at Coachella 14 years ago now the only thing off of the Wish LP they played was From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea. I didn't even recognize it at first and wondered 'why this one? I guess Robert really likes it'. It was never a single or even a potential candidate as far as I know.

people complaining about "$50+" ticket prices in this thread are hilarious. the two Brooklyn shows added just went on sale. Standing room pit is $245, front ten center rows and front five side rows are $195, front half orchestra seating is $145, back orchestra is $95, balcony is $70 or $50 for some incredibly awful obstructed seats. that's all before Ticketmaster fees of course.

I would like to see Nine Inch Nails some day, I think, but man, not that much. NYC is so hosed, pricing-wise, jesus christ. I can't believe it's gotten this bad over the last five years

also those prices are for the Tuesday show, the Wednesday show at the same venue is $5 more for every ticket :psyduck:

I’m going to the Meltdown show in London and would be absolutely stoked to get that set, particularly The Beginning Is The End and Afraid of Americans. I’m even more excited now.

My only quibble would be the lack of Closer but I know Trent is probably incredibly fuckin’ bored of singing that song; I just still love it and it never gets old to me, particularly the way a new element is added/changed up every 8 bars.

The whole country is. NY sounds worse, definitely, but NIN tickets are at least double what I pay to see a lot of other artists, and that's prohibitively expensive for me right now.

If you're rich, rad. Enjoy the show. I, however, am not.
