Aragon show is apparently $99.50 + fees. No thanks.

glam rock hamhock posted:No, it's going to be the people that have the money and time to spare. Saying people that can't afford this financially or time wise "just don't want it enough" is the dumbest loving bullshit. It's a loving concert. People shouldn't have to make sacrifices to prove that they are worthy to see a band play music. The sacrifices in question should not disproportionately affect those that are less fortunate. I'm not sure if I'm telling you something you don't already know but unfettered capitalism got hold of the concert ticket market years ago. They will charge as much as they possibly can and if you can't afford it, gently caress you.

Earwicker posted:yeah no poo poo, but i think the point here is that this specific move being made by NIN makes the situation worse (while coming with a bunch of bullshit about making it better). for a guy that has so often framed himself as fighting "the industry" in various ways it just rings really hollow. i mean yeah, obviously we live in a capitalist society and that governs how music and ticket sales work, but some artists try to work around that and make things more accessible for their fans to varying degrees. this is kind of the opposite It's just lip service. Ever see how expensive Pearl Jam tickets are these days? If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

The website did say that ADA tickets would be on sale during the online sale of whatever is left. It's possible they'll be holding the same amount they usually do.

spookygonk posted:Worst support? I saw Atari Teenage riot support NiN in London, but as they were wrecked from touring, we got a set of deafening noise and screaming that hosed a lot of people off and up. When I saw NIN on the Wave Goodbye Tour (  ) in 2009, he had Peter Murphy open for them. Then Peter Murphy came on for three songs towards the end of NIN's set, the first of which was Reptile, which he absolutely ruined. The air was totally taken out of the place. I like Peter Murphy and all but he should not be singing lead vocals for Reptile as if it's a Bauhaus song.

Skails posted:Queens of the Stone Age opened for with teeth in 2005. I don't know if they were drunk but the sound was a garbled mess. It's been that way with most of the openin acts I've seen. Mars Volta opening for APC was especially dissapointing. I really enjoyed Deloused in the Comatorium, but live everything blended together into dissonant wailing. I saw APC on the same tour with TMV opening and they were just so, so, so bad. One of the all time worst opening acts I've ever seen. Which is weird because everyone always claims how their live show (at least around that time) is some transcendent experience and I generally enjoy their studio albums.

I just looked at stubhub prices and they're going for about $2-$10 more than what you would have paid at the venue. You can never really predict these things but I am really glad I didn't waste 6+ hours of my life waiting in line.

A human heart posted:Q: do you know what the word pretentious means quote:This was NIN’s Downward Spiral tour, which ended up being the bands zenith, meaning it was their biggest and most interesting album along with the biggest and most semi-interesting point in their career. I honestly didn’t know much about NIN before this tour. I mean I knew they were popular with the MTV baby rock crowd and that they had sold a lot of records but I had never actually listened to one of them. Why would I? I usually have no interest in checking out what sort of bands the baby rockers dig. This is as a result of almost always hating whatever bands the baby rockers dig.

roboshit posted: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.

Anonymous John posted:This matter isn't about how one chooses to engage or enjoy the show, but about dealing with disruption. Including but not limited to, say, having an iPad on the brightest screenmode in front of you, or having to overhear others shout-talking during songs so that you cannot concentrate on the music. If more people actually confronted inconsiderate concertgoers, as well as reached out to the venue staff when appropriate, we'd all have better concert experiences. I still don't get how a guy just standing in his seat(s) is in any way inconsiderate or warranting alerting venue staff (hey this guy is standing up, throw him out!), but hey, you go ahead and do what you need to. Especially after you put a hand on the guy.

axelblaze posted:The other seat wasn't actually his, it was an empty seat. Also, while I didn't actually talk to staff, I thought that suggestion might have more to do that the guy just started broing out and screaming nonstop at me when I very weakly tried to scooch him over towards where his actual seat was. I never said you were an rear end in a top hat and obviously this explains things a lot more, but other homeboy was seriously advocating getting some dude kicked out for doing, what seemed at the time, a whole lot of absolutely nothing.

at the "after I laid hands on the guy" like slight physical contact is worth going full aggro about. Also I am an antisocial goon and I don't freak the gently caress out when someone touches me because why is that a thing that anyone would do? People that act that was just seem like assholes and I'm not sure why your defending it against a threat of having him thrown out that didn't even happen. All that happened was I explained the situation politely, he ignore me, I tried to move him over when he was literally making it impossible see, and he screamed at me for like an entire song while I tried to reexplained the situation and tried to calm him down. Really not sure why I'm the rear end in a top hat here but whatever

Anyway, dumbass derail aside, I've been looking at prices on Stubhub for the Chicago shows and they're starting to drop a good amount. $70-$90 for the various dates.

magiccarpet posted:rock band still making money touring is a hard thing to pull off lately so im sure he'll keep it up Besides the whole having to go to Vegas to see them, I feel like a somewhat (or wholly) dedicated venue for NIN would be pretty cool. Mostly from the sake of giving them a specific space to plan a stage/light show around. Seeing how incredibly well they can construct a stage on tour I imagine if they had a stable platform they could really ramp it up. Just the same, Vegas is where acts go to die and put on the same performance 3 times a day (not that NIN could ever draw that) so meh.

Donovan Trip posted:He's been making it pretty obvious his entire career No, he really hasn't. I think you're somehow invested in this and want it to be that way but, again, a bunch of tenuous circumstantial evidence and reading into lyrics doesn't define anything. If you go and google "trent reznor gay" or "atticus ross gay" or any iteration of that you get... nothing. Which isn't supposed to serve as some supreme arbiter of this discussion but if there was merit to it (or if anyone else was talking about it really) you'd think there'd be hits all over the place. But there's not. You'd think there would at least be some gossip and he-said-he-said type of stories. Trent has been married 10 years and has 4 kids. I believe Atticus has been married just as long, if not longer. Which doesn't preclude either (or both, or all of them) from being bi, but it doesn't outwardly seem like it in any way. Their wives might both be beards but I just don't see it.
