    So, in your NIN career how much have you spent on NIN tickets?

    I'm probably around 3k. Don't want to think it over TOO much...

    just tickets; I'm sure most of us don't want to think of the latter number.

    This. My first time ever seeing NIN wasn't even a year ago, and now I'm already at about 900+ on tickets, if you estimate ~100 per show. I guess that says something about how big of an impact my first NIN show had on me.

    You remind me of me. I got into NIN around August 2008. By September 2009 I'd already seen 8 shows.

    Probably a bit over 1K (in euros). Keep in mind that tickets were dirt cheap over here in 05 and 07.

    Out of the 8 shows I have attended, a few of those I paid for all my friend's tickets as well because I wanted to make sure they would not miss on seeing NIN.
    My buddy paid for my Tension ticket in Montreal. Was nice to be at the other end for once.
    And only 1 show I bought through a scalper (Ebay).

    So I think it's safe to say that I've spent close to 1k (CDN).

    Hasn't Fullmetal been to like over 100 shows or something? Should probably hide this thread from him.

    Definitely close to or more than 1K.

    10 shows, each costing me close to a $100 and me deciding to round it up to the closest ten.

    21 shows over the past 20 years, gotta estimate the ticket prices at around $65.00/each, so ~$1,400.00.

    ^^^ Honestly not as bad as I thought.

    I keep all of my ticket stubs, but I'm really too lazy to go through them all (plus, there's historical currency conversion to worry about). For argument's sake, if we use an estimate of $65 per 119 shows it comes out to $7,735.

    pwned everyone. Just think if you taped every show you went to! You'd be a walking archive!

    *Sigh* Makes me long for the days of $25 pit tickets during Self-Destruct.

    Yeah, same thing happened to me, but starting with Fragility. No point in going back and figuring out, since whatever it was, it was more than worth it and if I had it to do over again, I'd go to more

    Thank goodness for frequent flyer miles and hotel points.

    I don't even know what that means! ARE YOU CALLING ME A WHORE?!

    As for the topic, I think that I'm at about $900. I paid scalper prices for Lolla last year, and to be in the 3rd row at the last show I went to.

    Just $200, but if you counted merch at the shows probably $500.

    I just came here to see if @FULLMETAL posted, I couldn't imagine what his travel/lodging costs would be haha.

    13 shows at £400, £500 if you include Sonisphere festival but I didn't go just for NIN. I've not included the GNR show in 1991 because I didn't know who they were. I've never incurred lodging costs either because I've always lived nearby or known someone who did

    Money I've spent on tickets: Upwards of $500 I suppose.

    Value of the tickets my girlfriend has won: Troubadour Club show (2013, LA) - people outside offering $1000 cash to be people's +1, $220x2 tickets to Irvine, CA show last week.

    Then in 2009, I went as a +1 in Kansas City, MO to meet/greet/eat with the band. That was a $1000 (2 people).

    So, I have not even spent half as much as the stuff I've been privileged to experience for free. I feel like that means I could still spend $100s more until it's actually like I'm spending just too much, on shows at least. Guess I don't have to worry about spending as much at shows in the near future, oh wait, now I'm . . .
    I don't even know if that math makes sense.

    $140 for a good ticket and a shirt from a Tension show. Only seen NIN once. I was gonna see them again this year at Albuquerque but I decided not to because it's over 100 miles away and other reasons.
