2013.10.04 - Toronto, ON Air Canada Centre

[botley]

Opening act: Explosions in the Sky, motherfuckers!

See you in the pit.

[sick among the pure]

Depending on a friend I see NIN with, I might be at this show.

[ILoveFestivals]

Can't wait!

[Gewalt Warten]

Determined to be there one way or another!

[swindley]

Methinks a Canuck (and ItsJustDave) ETS reunion is in order.

[ItsJustDave]

I'll definitely be at this show.

[60InchTool]

I've heard that this is going to be a Reserved Seated Floor... Can anyone confirm? Or more hopefully, DENY????
I might have to make the drive to Cleveland to see them if the ACC insists on having a seated floor. Seated floors have no business being at NIN shows!!!!

Yeah that's kind of crazy - though people wouldn't actually sit.... (I hope?!)

If I can't make it to Montreal I'll try for Toronto. Don't know if I can do both. I'm back in school and the work is intense in the semester.

[tremolo]

I'll be there!

I hope i can get floor tickets (and that the floor is actually standing GA and not seats... wtf!)

It would be cool to meet NIN fans from ETS before the show, i've been to NIN shows before in Toronto, but I'm a newbie in the forum.


See you all there!

[Amska]

Will be there with bells on! Was excited for a possible opener by GY!BE, I have been waiting to see them live for 10 yrs. But EITS is awesome too, so I guess it's still a win.

[NINisamazing]

Round 2!:rolleyes::eek::rolleyes::eek:

I was tempted to go to brooklyn to see them and godspeed,but giving the prices of the tickets....etc. Might not happen.

[tremolo]

I won't even bother getting tickets from the presale at NIN.com, it's a very frustrating experience and right now I can't afford those ticket prices :(


If anyone gets a couple spare floor tickets, I'd be willing to buy them in about a month.

[sick among the pure]

I am terrified about securing a ticket for this show because I've heard Toronto sells instantly. Fingers crossed you guys.

(also if the GA is seats fuck that, let's pick them up and hand them out to the isle so the nice security guards can put them in the building manager's office to sit his "fat fucking ass" down on)

[NINisamazing]

It possibly could be seats.

[NINisamazing]

hahahahahahahahahaha. I deserved that.

[tremolo]

I have 2 floor tickets in the basket, just for the lulz, and can't afford them... 1st time a presale at NIN.com works for me and I can't pay for the fucking tickets! I think I'd rather laugh about it.

[NINisamazing]

Welp. Going. Solo.

[NINisamazing]

Oh god, $300+ gone..

[sick among the pure]

Got my GA, friends who are driving got theirs, FUCK YEAH I'M GOING TO SEE NIN!

(tremolo, that's a dick move.)

[NINisamazing]

I will going solo to this one. Good times.

[tremolo]

Got my GA, friends who are driving got theirs, FUCK YEAH I'M GOING TO SEE NIN!

(tremolo, that's a dick move.)

They've been released. I was hoping to have a friend's CC to buy them, it was my last hope, but didn't happen. The tickets are gonna be taken anyway by whoever gets them first.

[Amska]

WTF did I do wrong, despite logging in to both nin.com and the tour tix website, I only kept getting, "This site can only be accessed from within the official site. If you believe you have reached this page in error, email tix@musictoday.com." Fail.

Just click the link on http://tour.nin.com/

I never logged onto musictoday.

[AgentofChaos]

Same... I kept getting that error or

Error Adding Item to cart. The item you have chosen uses a different Currency than the item(s) already in your cart.

http://media.musictoday.com/ticketing/NineInchNails/images/spacer.gif






There are no items currently in your cart



Pretty fucked up. I'm livid right now.

[NINisamazing]

WTF!?:confused::confused:

[botley]

And I really can't believe I also won at Presale for this show, too. But I'm slightly less giddy now, because I just spent $496 on two shows which take place on a Friday and Saturday, both a few hundred miles from where I live and tend bar. This means I just effectively spent $1046 on two shows.
You got GA for this one? Fuck yeah, me too!

[Amska]

Just click the link on http://tour.nin.com/

I never logged onto musictoday.
That's the error I got when I clicked on that link probably 50x. Epic fail.

[sick among the pure]

Fucking hell do I get to finally meet the famous botley ;)

[botley]

Fucking hell do I get to finally meet the famous botley ;)
HAHAHA! Ew, my friend just called me "internet famous" during onstage banter with his band last night. Well, I'm pretty pumped to finally hold court with all you sick freaks.

[Hyperpower]

i cannot login to purchase tickets.

i signed up ahead of time and every time i attempt to purchase tickets it gives me "This site can only be accessed from within the official site. If you believe you have reached this page in error, email tix@musictoday.com." even tho i am accessing from nin.com

and now it seems i will miss out :(

[Amska]

Eventually got in by clicking on another show's presale link like 22min later. FUUUUUUUUUUUUU

im not even getting that to work, but that doesn't matter cause the Toronto show is the only show i can get to
fuck something always seems to be glitchy for anything nin related for me

so pissed off

[NINisamazing]

I wonder if the new record will be glitchy?

[sick among the pure]

[Anxdiety]

Just a FYI tickets are listed at $99 plus a $12.50 service charge each. That's out of my price range as much as I'd love to go.

[Trish99]

Fuck presales, seriously. Public on-sale for me. My stress level is through the roof.

i really hope they cancel the Toronto pre-sale, figure out the problems and hold the pre-sales another day.
its unfair to those of us trying and not getting anywhere.

Thanks Botley

That's for the most expensive (GA and Primary Seating).... lots of tickets closer to $50 will become available during the TM/LN presale.

The reason Toronto sells so quickly (in the ACC at least) is because most of the premium seats are owned by people. I'm assuming that other cities that have huge sports franchises do the same, but in Toronto at least people just buy the seats. My sister's friends husband owns a construction company and he buys 4 platinum seats at the ACC each year. These are seats located right on the boards and they run him $250K per year. He gets tickets to all events at the ACC automatically. The problem is scalpers do the same thing, so even if an event like this get put on sale and there are 15K tickets available, only 8-10K actually go on sale. Its bullshit really, but that's MLSE for you.

[Canuckle]

Question: Has anyone watched a full ACC concert from Section 108 before?

I know NIN 'promises' that the presale gets offered the best tickets but the side view always worries me. Usually I try to nab straight on but Tool was way too far away last time.

No, but if I didn't get GA tix then 109/108 would have been my 2nd choice. I believe it's left side of stage, good angle... good view!

Very true, which is why you won't see any of the platinum seats on sale through regular channels.

Also remember that Toronto is a hub for a lot of regions, including all of Southern Ontario as well as the Buffalo area. People from all over seem to travel to TO for their shows. It's always been one of the fast to sell out no-matter where they are playing in TO.

[Canuckle]

Yeap! Left side.... most of the reserved seating was in 109 but I managed to grab 108 in hopes I get a bit better angle for the visuals. Row 16 Seats 3-4.

Thanks for the feedback! Helps calm my nerves a bit.

anyone selling a ticket for the Toronto show?

i want a pre-sale ticket

only once ever did i manage to get a pre-sale ticket.

I hear ya. It's cool when you have a specially printed ticket with your name on it, but as long as I can get a GA Floor ticket through TicketBastard I'll be fine.

The last time NIN played the ACC on August 5 2008, I missed out on presale and TicketBastard tickets, so I paid $150 from a guy on eBay. If I can avoid that I will be happy. Imagine how much people will be charging on eBay for a $114 ticket. At least $200 you'd think.

Hey good to know this is a good angle for the show. I'm in the same row as you!

[mr9inchnail]

So pissed. I just woke up to find out that one of my tickets was cancelled. I got two with my nin.com account but a friend of mine is coming for the show from out of province. Logged out of my account, or so i thought i did, to use my girlfriend's nin.com account to purchase the third ticket but it looks like musictosay.com and my browser kept me logged in to my account. Not quite sure what I'm gonna tell my friend. He's so excited. This will be his first nin show. Hopefully I can get a GA floor from one of the other presales. 2 ticket limit is bullshit if you ask me but what can you do?

[ILoveFestivals]

At least you got a ticket through the presale. Hey music today if you are on here I will take his cancelled ticket! haha

[jessamineny]

You tried to game the system, and now you're pissed because you were caught? Yawn.

[mr9inchnail]

You tried to game the system, and now you're pissed because you were caught? Yawn. Tried what game? I bought two tickets with my account and then logged in to my gf's account to buy the third. I thought that every NIN.com member was allowed 2 tickets and could pay for them with somebody else's credit card. That's the terms I read said. I know I logged in to my gf's account because when I did there were 2 tickets in her cart. This was because when I first tried getting tickets for myself I was getting the same error that most of you were getting so she logged in to try as well. Once she found out that it was working for me she just closed off her browser without emptying her cart so those two tickets were hers not mine. I had already completed my transaction so my tickets wouldn't still be in my cart. I think the issue here is that they flagged my card because I had purchased three tickets with the same credit card even though I was using two different NIN.com accounts. So from what I'm seeing the only thing I did wrong was try to use the same credit card for two different NIN.com accounts.

[redshoewearer]

I would so like to go to this one. It is farther, harder with work/school, but I think several people I know or would like to meet (from here) will be there. If I can go I will. If I can skip my graduate probability class with impunity that Friday, I may be able to make it.

[mr9inchnail]

Anybody know where to get the code for this one ?

Internet Presale

Start: Thu, 06/13/13 09:30 AM EDT
End: Thu,
06/13/13 05:00 PM EDT

*nevermind: found out what it is*

[AgentofChaos]

Well that was nice and easy. $118.50 for GA floors stings a bit but I'm sure it will be worth it.

It was very cool of them to start things 30 minutes early for the people who got screwed with the fan sale. Much appreciated to whoever made that call. There are like 5 different pre-sales for this show, so it's bound to be a bit of a clusterfuck and now I can rest easy instead of trying to stressfully decide which presale code to use first right at 10AM.

If anyone needs a breakdown of passwords;

the 102.1 the Edge - Tension
Facebook RSVP - Haunted
LiveNation - Picnic
LN Mobile - Covert

Good luck everyone!

[ILoveFestivals]

All the presales went on sale before 10am!! FUCKING TICKETBASTARD!!!

[Canuckle]

Hope everyone got the tickets they wanted!

[ILoveFestivals]

If anybody has an extra GA Floor for this show please let me know!

[Sid]

Long time reader, rare poster (I don't thing I've posted on ets since it "moved" which isn't even a new thing anymore).

Anyway the normal request, here goes:
If anyone happens to have an extra GA Floor ticket, let me know. I am looking. I'll try again tomorrow via the normal online sale.

But sheesh, this is the first time I haven't been able to get a ticket during the nin pre-sale let alone any other pre-sale.

[ILoveFestivals]

I called and complained to TicketBastard that the presale tickets for the Edge, Live Nation, and Facebook all went on sale BEFORE 10am and they said there was nothing they can do for me. If the tickets went on sale at 10am and I was not able to get a GA Floor then it would suck, but I would have to get over it, but the fact the presale tickets went on sale before the advertised time makes me really angry. They have all of these presales on the event page listed for 10am with the exception of the 9:30 presale, but all the passwords for EVERY presale must have gone active at 9:30. So I did not have a fair chance to purchase tickets and you know TicketBastard...there is nothing we can do for you.
They then told me that its not up to them, but the owner of the tickets. I asked if they meant Live Nation and they responded, no the ACC own the tickets.

So I called the Air Canada Centre because TicketBastard passed the buck and said it was them who activated the presales. The ACC told me the same thing. "I'm sorry, but there is nothing we can do for you." They only have another few hundred GA floor tickets going on sale tomorrow, but you know, they can't help me out because I was the one who did not magically anticipate all presales going active before the advertised time on TicketBastard. Fucking bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[theyellowdart]

Only the ppl who got an e-mail from music-today (about the system problems on tues) got an invite to the 9:30 one. The 9:30 one was locked to the e-mail address of the person it was sent to. The rest did start at 10am. I have plenty of friends that were able to get Facebook and Live Nation Presales.

I tried all 3 passowrds in the internet presale box on the TM event page around 9:50 and all 3 passwords worked, so the presale must have started earlier than it was suppose to. I used HAUNTED, PICNIC, and TENSION and all 3 worked before 10am, but neither of them had GA Floor tickets available.

I started at 9:55 with the Picnic password and although it worked and got me through to the verification screen, it then showed nothing available. Same thing for 4 or 5 tries, then magically at 10:01 tickets were available. I think even though the other passwords worked they weren't connecting to available tickets until 10:00 a.m. Still, there is nothing more frustrating than trying to get tickets electronically for any show in Toronto. See you all in Section 121! (Us old people like to have a seat available in case the excitement gets too much for our frail and fluttering hearts.)

The closest I could get after 30 minutes of trying was section 121. I will try again tomorrow on the general public sale.

I also hate how they had four different presales listed "Internet presale", "Facebook RSVP" presale and "Live Nation presale" and "Live nation mobile presale" but the only two that showed up on the page were "Live Nation Mobile" and "Internet presale" and we were magically know that "Internet" presale was for anything but the Live Nation Mobile presale.

I've never had this much trouble with a presale before. No matter who the presale was for.

[AgentofChaos]

Just an FYI for people attending this show, I'm looking at numbers and may be throwing a NIN bash pre & post show on the upper level of Real Sports. Will get back with more details when I have them.

[ILoveFestivals]

I'm just really hoping that myself and other real fans can get tickets tomorrow.

Try and get the booths with the taps built into the tables!

[Pandora Spocks]

I long for the days of the spiral. Pre-sales were do much less frustrating then. I hope i have better luck tomorrow.

[19ninetynine]

Been so busy with work I totally forgot about buying tickets, and besides I don't sit at a desk I'm an electrician so I'm not by computer until 6 at night :(

[Hyperpower]

I long for the days of the spiral. Pre-sales were do much less frustrating then. I hope i have better luck tomorrow.

that was the only time i ever got an nin pre-sale ticket.
also, not sure why the forums and the usual login were removed, i really liked that setup.

i know Trent isn't directly involved in the pre-sale stuff but hey, hes been involved in so many aspects of the band that i hope he reads some of the frustration with the pre-sales and somehow gets involved in that too.
another thing about tickets, for some of us its nin pre-sale tickets or nothing, not because we refuse to attend these shows but because the nin pre-sale tickets are cheaper. not everyone can afford those massively inflated ticketmaster/live nation/stub hub prices and basically that means some hardcore fans just don't get to go.

it really does suck, this pre-sale did, and was probably the worse one by far.

[shagg_187]

The fuck is this bullshit?! The floors were sold out even before I could pick the tickets. I had me and my brother refreshing not only the website but the mobile app.

This is fucking stupid. Fucking ridiculous. Fuck you, Ticketmaster. I'm so fucking pissed! I am NOT paying a fucking scalper!

[Sid]

Sigh. No GA Floor ticket for me. Ticketbastard's site is a bitch.

[ILoveFestivals]

^^^That is why I was so upset that the presales were fucked up yesterday because I knew there was no way I (or most other) was going to get a floor during the general public onsale. By this point all the floors are already taken because of the fucking seat holders at the ACC, not to mention they have an 8 ticket limit for the on sale today, so I bet you the scalpers are picking up 8 tickets a piece. Bullshit is right!
I'm hoping that I can save enough money to buy a ticket from a reseller in a month or 2. I must have a floor for my birthday show!

[shagg_187]

I agree. I missed out on presale because I was too tired, but I was up and ready for public presale. Fucking shit was broken before it even started. Assholes. I'm going to contact Rob and tell him that I rather pay him $1000 than paying a scalper.

[mfte]

good old section 120.

more than happy not to have to be pressed against sweaty people in GA.

[Pandora Spocks]

Finally success in getting tickets. Pre sales were were pure frustration . Happy to have tickets without having to pay inflated prices.

[mr9inchnail]

Finally success in getting tickets. Pre sales were were pure frustration . Happy to have tickets without having to pay inflated prices. I agree with the frustration of the presale. Worst one I think I've ever been part of no matter who the tickets were for. But my GA floor presale tickets were cheaper than the tickets I had in my cart today and the closest tickets I could get today were section 118 row 9 (great seats don't get me wrong but I believe most people would prefer GA floors. I would anyway). Maybe other sections were inflated but I credit card was charged $111 for each GA ticket and today GA tickets were $118 through ticketmaster.ca.

[60InchTool]

I was SOL in getting my Floor ticket. If anyone by some miracle has an extra floor ticket at any point in the next 4 months, please let me know!!! I haven't missed NIN perform in TO since 2005, and I really don't want to start now. But I can't justify spending that much money and getting stuck in a seat!
I also very much miss the days of the Spiral presale... and all day lined up and meeting everyone... hoping that we'd get in to get a soundcheck or something!!!

Gah... please NIN universe... someone help me out???

[mr9inchnail]

I have a section 121 row 17 ticket i don't need if anybody is interested. Would like face value for it.

[pequena]

I started at 9:55 with the Picnic password and although it worked and got me through to the verification screen, it then showed nothing available. Same thing for 4 or 5 tries, then magically at 10:01 tickets were available. I think even though the other passwords worked they weren't connecting to available tickets until 10:00 a.m. Still, there is nothing more frustrating than trying to get tickets electronically for any show in Toronto. See you all in Section 121! (Us old people like to have a seat available in case the excitement gets too much for our frail and fluttering hearts.)

The same thing happened to me. It wasn't until the clock struck 10 that I was able to get something. I'll be up in the 300's!

[shagg_187]

If anyone has a pair of GA/Floor tickets for sale, please don't hesitate to PM me! I would love to take it from your hands!

[RJ8828]

chalk me up as another one looking for tickets. preferably floors

[ILoveFestivals]

I need a ticket. Preferably a floor. Please PM me.

[cahernandez]

Looking for one GA floor ticket...If you have an extra one, PM me.

[tremolo]

I'm looking for a floor ticket too!



Hey people, what's the best way to get a floor ticket at this point?

- I just checked stubhub and they have lots of floors, but very expensive, like $280! Worst case scenario, I'll end up getting a ticket there, but.. how does it work? I mean, it's just scalpers selling their tickets and you have to trust them to send them before the show? Or is it a company, so your purchase is somewhat "safe"?

- Buying tickets from a scalper outside the venue?

- Fans selling them here last minute because a friend bailed or had an emergency and won't be able to make it to the show?



I just wouldn't like to miss this tour, specially after listening to HM :(

[cahernandez]

Craigslist seller turned out to be a scam.

[tremolo]

Thanks! I just sent him a message.

Fingers crossed!

Stubhub is trust worthy, will probably end up paying more than face though.

Can always look for scalpers the day of the show outside the venue.

I personally wouldn't buy something off CL and have them send it to me, in person transaction for a legit hard ticket might be a go- buyer beware.

[ILoveFestivals]

Thanks! I just sent him a message.

Fingers crossed!

Same!!! I need this floor ticket!

[mr9inchnail]

I have a Section 121 Row 17 Seat 5 would like face value for it. $118.50. PM me if anybody is interested.

[afxwinter]

Does anyone know if there will be a meet and greet or a sound check fans can attend?
How have those worked in the past?
I'd love to get my Legend of Fuzz pedal signed by Robin. :)

[mutton]

I have an extra GA ticket because my friend who was going to go with me will be out of town. Face value is $111.75, it's yours for $110, pm me. Since they are nin.com presale tickets, we will have to pick up the tickets at the ACC and enter together. Precedence goes to people who've already posted in this thread looking for a ticket.

[RJ8828]

was able to get some tickets from TM after they released some in the lower bowl closer to the stage (Section 109, row 10). They say obstructed view, but I think they should be alright!

[mr9inchnail]

Still have an extra single ticket for this show if anybody is interested. Section 121 Row 17 Seat 5. $118.50 (face value) PM me if you are interested. Thanks!

[Krazy]

Some tickets just got released, including GA, if anyone's still looking.

Damn, that's really temping... I have 3 days off (Oct 4-6) that weekend too. Could totally hop a plane, but not after seeing the prices of flights for a round trip to TO... $510-550, no thanks.

I'm seeing enough shows this year anyway, why am I even contemplating this? Oh yeah, because I don't wanna wait for November to see this show, that's why!
What if they play the perfect drug!??? I don't wanna have to experience a shitty youtube quality version of TPD before hearing it in a live setting for the first time.

Im in the same boat as you are, but wanna wait til after the St. Paul show and the next one will be Phoenix. If it blows me away (which I hope it fucking does) chances are I'll go to Detroit.

Would like to visit Toronto though, heard it's an awesome city.

[NINisamazing]

Anybody meeting up before the show? I am riding up solo before the show, wouldn't mind hanging out with some nice Toronto folk.

Not really meeting up anywhere before the show other than in line, coming up with a couple friends. Also fuck yeah Buffalonian.

[NINisamazing]

I am 6 deep to the cleveland show, this show solo. Some friends cant do this one.

[becomingtom]

My girlfriend was supposed to come to this show with me but can't because of work. Anyone interested in the ticket? I'm Sec 108, Row 16 just looking to get the money I paid back. You will be sitting with me though :)

[M1ke]

Just got tickets today!

Seats, but good ones.

[mr9inchnail]

Still have my section 121 single ticket if anybody is interested. Row 17 Seat 5. $118.50 (face value) PM me if you are interested.

[sick among the pure]

Guys, one week.

[NINisamazing]

Can I ask a really dumb question?



I havent been been to a show in Toronto for a while, I was wondering do the parking lots around acc take America dollars? I know this is strange.

[theyellowdart]

They will take american credit cards (visa/mc/amex), possibly debit cards, but not american cash. The readers only scan and accept CAD cash.

[NINisamazing]

I can do the cards

[halo33]

Driving up from NYC. I'm all set with tickets, but one of my friendly Toronto locals needs a GA ticket. PM me if anyone has an extra. Thanks and see ya there!!

[mfte]

Ah shit, its this Friday. That crept up didn't it?

[nwimnthng0]

A buddy of mine can't make it down to the TO show sadly. He has two tickets - Section 103 - Row 30 - Seats 21-22. Selling them off at face value, anyone interested PM me, thanks!

[frankie teardrop]

HAHAHA! Ew, my friend just called me "internet famous" during onstage banter with his band last night. Well, I'm pretty pumped to finally hold court with all you sick freaks.

i'm coming up to visit for this one! hopefully will run into you!

[becomingtom]

Did anyone get there email for this show yet saying what time to pick up our presale tickets?

I got my email for Montreal but not this one yet.

[sick among the pure]

Not yet, I expect them to go out "soon" though.

Sorry, had to.

[RJ8828]

where's everyone heading afterwards? My group is thinking about Jack Astors on Front

[NINisamazing]

lol, back to buffalo.

Managed to get cheapies off StubHub that miraculously aren't next to the stage. See y'all there.

[snaapz]

Looking forward to Friday. I've managed to NOT read any Tension reviews and NOT watch any youtube videos. The video snippet TR put on instagram has me more excited than before I learned of the lineup expansion.

A part of me wishes I was 19 again and hammered during the show, pushing and sweating and having all sorts of fun. I guess as we all get older we become less likely to throw an elbow. Last time I saw NIN was at the Molson Amphitheater - NINJA - The crowd was fairly still. I'm lucky enough to have gotten pre sale tix, early entry. My wife and I are trying to decide if we should B line for the rail and stand our ground or enjoy the whole experience from different angles, grab a coke, buy some swag etc... 3 hrs is a long time to stand in one spot. But fuck me, I want to be as close to the stage as possible. I winder if I can do this sober... #all_grown_up

I'm G/A. My only wish is that I don't see this for the duration of the show.

http://www.aux.tv/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/20130114-cellphone-595-1358196043.jpg

[NINisamazing]

fucking nervous and excited for tomorrow and saturday.


:) so nobody wants to meet up before the show?

[NINisamazing]

What time is everyone lining up tomorrow? I am sure some of you are getting there in the morning. I cant do that, I hope towards the afternoon. It all depends on border bullshit, me getting my stuff ready...etc

[Free James Brown]

Quick question. Any know set times?

[TheKert]

Can't wait for the show tonight. It felt like forever since getting the tickets and the day is finally here! So pumped to see what Tr has done for Tension considering how amazing the Light in the Sky tour was and how it sounds like this takes it to the next level.

[ILoveFestivals]

I will be going to Real Sports before the show if anybody wants to have a drink or two. I'm looking at you NINisamazing.

Set times will be the same as last night I would assume. EITS 7:30-8:15 NIN 8:45-11

[NINisamazing]

Where is that?

I am am leaving buffalo pretty soon. It's raining here, hopefully not in Toronto too. Also, I will be wearing a grayish blue v neck with baggy black cargo pants. I actually hate baggy clothing. But I wanted to wear pants with pockets so I don't lose my shit on the floor.

Real Sports is in Maple Leaf Square, which is what the complex housing the ACC and Maple Leaf condos is called. It's on the end of the ACC with the jumbotraun. The intersection is York and bremner. It's at the foot of the condo tower complex at the ACC. Ill be wearing a black NIN hoodie with a grey tshirt. Ill be there for 3:30-3:45.

[NINisamazing]

Ok, not sure when I am getting there. Maybe around 4:30. I have yet to leave.

[ILoveFestivals]

Sounds good. I'll post here when I'm there.

[mr9inchnail]

Section 121 Row 17 Seat 5 would like face value for it OBO. $118.50. PM me if anybody is interested.

[botley]

My buddy's helping to load in the production gear right now and got this sick photo of Robin's guitar rack:

Meanwhile...

I'm heading down to pick up my tickets shortly, will be wearing my ETS shirt and Granny glasses! Come say hi in the presale line.

[M1ke]

If anyone's still desperately seeking tickets, the radio today said a new block of floor seats went on sale at noon...might already be gone, but never hurts to look.

[Hyperpower]

my brother and i are headed down shortly!
sadly (yes again) i did not get the nin.com tickets, woulda been nice but its better to be there than not to.

anyway can't wait for tonight!

[ILoveFestivals]

I'm here at Real Sports for anybody interested. I'm at the bar as soon as you walk in.

[afxwinter]

Is anyone going to try to meet the band before or after the show?

[ILoveFestivals]

Is anyone going to try to meet the band before or after the show?
Not I. I don't have an after show badge.

[NINisamazing]

Got distracted with some bullshit and traffic.

in line, can hear explosions soundtrack.

[botley]

ROBBIE ROBERTSON is standing behind me at the sound board.

[Wish9]

Fantastic show. I really enjoyed the tweaks to the set list. I'll screw up the order if I tried to do it off of memory, but Various Methods of Escape, Into the Void, and Even Deeper were great surprises.

[theyellowdart]

That was perfect. Running is amazing live. And we got great new interpretations of a Fragile tracks. HM translates very well in a live show!

[Amska]

That was certainly different than any other NIN show I've been to. I hadn't read anything about this tour so I didn't know what to expect, but the female vocalists were a pretty neat addition. Wish was my fav of the night.

[M1ke]

Did we seriously get Into the Void, A Warm Place, Somewhat Damaged AND Even Deeper all in the same show?!?!?!

My mind is fucking blown. That was incredible.

[NINisamazing]

First, the crowd for the most part was great. People were really nice. I was in front of pino. 3 rows back in the gray vneck and glasses.


Loved hearing the new songs. The backing singers sound great. Into the void and even deeper. Fuck a good show. I am beat, got Cleveland tomorrow.

[DFA1979]

Wow. That was awesome!

[sick among the pure]

Just got back to my friend's place, fuckin security at the border on the way up was fine, but on the way back I swear he didn't know what a transexual was. "This is your name... but you have a beard...? Do you... have another ID I can see?"

:|

Awesome show, very different from the festival, so glad I went to both. I think that was the most Fragile-heavy I've seen, but of course my 2 fav HM songs were pretty much the only 2 he didn't play.
I'd do a big write up but I have to get a nap in before we head out for Cleveland. Got some pics and video up on my instagram if anyone wants to check them out. My name is the_wretched

Edit, well fuck. Speak of instagram, NIN re-blogged me...
http://hesitation-marks.tumblr.com/post/63151681323/the-wretched-always-ending-with-hurt-nin

[NINisamazing]

VMOE eek :eek:
It was amazing

[acoz]

This show was a succinct masterwork of a show. The set list was PERFECT. The rework of 'Into the Void' was magic - kind of like a postmodern breath of life into a vintage kind of song. And 'In This Twilight,' 'Various Methods of Escape,' and 'A Warm Place?' Are you kidding me?? At one point near the very I was standing there, the crowd bathed in crazy gold light, and I kind of felt like this was just a really cool dream. Everyone was so happy to be there. The energy was really contagious.

Rob Sheridan definitely earned his keep on this one... Incredible job by him.

Every song off 'Hesitation Marks' was perfect. The soul-esque backup singers addition to the band added this maturity and soul to everything. That said, the entire band was good.

It would be a crime if a Tension 2013 DVD/Blue Ray was not released. A crime!! I want to experience this show again, and again, and again.

I bought my tickers at the last second, and can't imagine what I was thinking. Such a great show.

[Ash512]

Toronto setlist > Montreal setlist. My two all time favorite live songs were played (In This Twilight & Somewhat Damaged) plus a bunch a great tracks back to back.
I enjoyed the visuals much better this time around from the floor. For people reading preparing for upcoming shows : I would strongly recommend not taking seats too close to the side of the stage. It's fun being close to see the guys performing, but you'll miss important perspective effects from both the screens and physical lights... like it happened to me in MTL.

[19ninetynine]

Great show! Glad I got to hear The Frail/The Wretched for the first time and the setlist was perfect, only missing I Would for You which I wanted but I can't argue with what I got!

[snaapz]

Last night was the best sounding NIN concert I've attended. The audio was excellent. Also, my wife and I made it to the front center, 2 back from rail. Never again! My back is so sore!!

Great show.

[jessamineny]

I agree, that setlist was insane. But Find My Way followed immediately by VMOE?? That was both my dream and nightmare. Will. Not. Let. You. Break. Me. :P

Doing soundboard tonight. Looking forward to seeing the stage show for real. You truly can't see anything from up front, for those of you hitting one show.

[botley]

I got a full iPhone recording of both bands' sets, except for the first few seconds of "Copy of A"; it's mad-overloaded, but should be listenable enough if no better source appears (looking at you, @RITCNIN (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=1141))...

Uploading now. :)

[RJ8828]

great show!

-I havent been really paying attention to the band the last few weeks, so I had no idea who the bass player was

-the female back-up singers were actually well done and fit perfectly

-the new songs were great, but I found most of the audience had no idea what they were, so it killed the atmosphere for a bit

-Great to hear some older songs that I personally havent seen live before (The Wretched, Into the Void, A Warm Place, Somewhat Damage, Even Deeper)

-People and their cameras/phones....I don't understand why people spend half the show looking through their phones/cameras to get some low grade video of a song. There was a guy near me that literally recorded half to show with his crappy camera phone. What's the point? Put your phone down and watch the show. A few picture here and there are fine, but come on!

All-in-all, it was a great show and I was happy to be able to nab tickets close to the stage 2 weeks beforehand after striking out on 3 pre-sales.

glad NIN are back!

[Mark Fraser]

Great show. Great set lists.

The only problem I had was with it being advertised as "Lights in the Sky 2.0".

With the greatest of respect meant towards Tension, the light show for this concert was *nothing* in comparison to Lights in the Sky. However, I will say that the lights during disappointed were fucking insane.

Has anyone else noticed that the crowds for NIN shows appear to be getting older and more docile? We're growing up guys!

[RJ8828]

also, another tibit...

the opening band sucked

I only saw the last 15 minutes of their set, but all it was was one giand long ass song with no lyrics and shitty guitars

[Ash512]

Great review.

[frankie teardrop]

though we were up on rail for montreal, toronto was a better setlist (got most of the songs we were hoping for) and a better show overall. the backup singers are wonderful, especially on even deeper/survivalism/black noise. breathes a lot of new life into many old chestnuts.

we soaked most of it in back near the soundboard, the way to go for this show as far as GA is concerned...

[NINisamazing]

I sorta regret not talking to this blonde girl more who was standing by me. She kept smiling at me like every two seconds. hahaha ANYWAY

I enjoyed this show much more then the one in Cleveland.

[NINisamazing]

Did anyone see the fucked up dude in the suit that pushed himself to the front? Sorta funny, but the dude was sort of a tool. He fucking got in front of me. Sorta pissed me off. Thankfully I did get all reactionary.

[botley]

Disagree with you there; the Tension lighting ruled. State of the art stuff, f'real.

Here's my review of the Toronto show if anybody's interested:

http://www.antiquiet.com/shows/2013/10/nine-inch-nails-orchestrate-unsparing-faultlessness-in-toronto/

[Pandora Spocks]

Loved the show. I don't like the back up singers. The show would of been perfect without them.

[KStawski]

First, the crowd for the most part was great. People were really nice. I was in front of pino. 3 rows back in the gray vneck and glasses.


Loved hearing the new songs. The backing singers sound great. Into the void and even deeper. Fuck a good show. I am beat, got Cleveland tomorrow.

We had to be right near each other. I was with my 2 friends, Blackhawks shirts!

The crowd was really awesome except for the lame cat fight that broke out during Running I believe, was quite distracting! I preferred this show over Cleveland, setlist wise and crowd wise.

[NINisamazing]

I remember you fuckers. :)
