Nine Inch Nails

Didn't Trent say something about the stage setup evolving throughout the tour? With both their Pukkelpop and Rock En Seine shows happening during daylight/dusk, I can see them ditching the shadowplay and just going for the videowall stuff instead.

Good work there mate! And by judging on amateur Leeds vids, it should be dark by around Gave Up.

I'd be happy with that set, would love to get Reptile or Me, I'm Not personally.

[Dietediet]

Not seen this, can you find it somewhere?

[Com Truise]

Wait no, nevermind. Apparently he meant that they're gonna throw everything away after the festival tour and start from scratch for the arena tour setup. Best we can do is hope for some cloudy days I guess, would fit the show better than sunset.

[Areophobia]

Is there set due to be a bit longer this year? More like 70-80 minutes? Could maybe add on two or more songs...

Oh fair play. Might be just the 16 then. Its a pretty good set mind.

Are you going to Reading or Leeds Com?

[Com Truise]

Yeah, if it's just that 16, it's a brilliant set, there's not much I'd be gutted about missing, apart from Mr Self Destruct, Somewhat Damaged, The Day The World Went Away and Sin.

And I'm going to Leeds, don't have to wait as long as Reading for that beautiful day of music

[Areophobia]

Yeah looks like I'll be going to Leeds too, which is a bit gutting as they'll only be in the dark for 1/4 of their set.

Then again, The Prodigy had that wicked light show and the daylight didn't seem to stop them...

Mr. Self Destruct, Sin or Reptile would be superb. Be interesting to see what they play in the next few weeks.

So good to see they're likely to play The Way Out Is Through!

[Com Truise]

Four more sets left then, not counting Belsonic because I'll be at Leeds by then. Their Pukkelpop is 75 minutes so could be a good indicator of the setlist/amount of songs

[kaosmark2]

Ah, I think Trent should just suck it up and either go with the minimal darkness, or ditch the lightshow, I don't see the lights as a big deal, I just wanna see em perform

NIN.COM PRESALE TICKETING FAQ

Is there a fee to purchase in a NIN.com presale?

The presales were set up to break even. The cost is factored in to the ticket fee and while it covers things like custom ticket stock, the majority of the funds cover additional security and personnel to staff the ticket pick up station and early entrance.

If I bought 2 NIN.com tickets and only 1 of us are there, can I still pick up our tickets?

No - your entire party must be with you at the time you pick up your NIN.com presale tickets as they will be checked against ID's and scanned right away as you enter the venue.

Are all of the tickets Will Call only?

ALL NIN.com tickets are Will Call ONLY

I do love how they do their ticket sales though. I've bought NIN presale tickets before through their site and my ID has been throughly checked when collecting tickets to make sure its definitely me.

[jump]

Yes please, if I manage to grab NIN tixs then I have no reason to go to Reading this year.

Isn't it usually only artists on independent labels that can get away with that?

Small shows or fan sales?

[jump]

Fan sales. Thought usually they had to go through ticketbastard.

[dentalplan]

Nah, most bands do fan sales but NIN are one of the few that do it right. Blink for example were selling the shittest seating tixs to their fans as part of a presale and NIN make sure those tix dont get touted by checking id's etc.
