Red Rocks is a 9,525 seat venue. It appears to be reserved seating if that's the case, Row 1 will be ADA accessible only.
According to the website, tickets range from $101.35 - $152.15. Guessing the higher the price the closer to the stage you will be.

@FULLMETAL (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=356) Rows 61-69 are GA at Red Rocks, everything else is reserved. EDIT: actually, upon further Google Image Searching, it appears that 61-69 is ALWAYS GA but then depending on the show, they might open up more rows to GA.

So, SO pumped for these shows!

I SURE hope I can talk my brother into lining up for this.

edit: ok, it looks like i AM gonna be there, but given the 4 ticket limit, i may have to go to fucking denver to line up with my brother because we need five tix.

So, a friend of mine who moved out to CO has never been to a NIN show but is a HUGE fan, and "see NIN at Red Rocks" is on my bucket list. She is already going to go line up for tickets, soooooo... I'm probably going to drive across the country (3 months after I fly across the country) to go to one of (if not both of) these shows. Maybe. This whole tour is a bunch of "I don't know, maybe I'll do something" thanks to this "buy tickets in person, then if there are leftovers you can get them online later" thing.

Just gonna put this out there, but if anyone were able to get another, I'd be more than happy to reimburse/pay in advance to pick me up a ticket. My gut is telling me more tickets will probably be available online after the presale, but should anyone feel inclined...*shrug*

i was wondering if you were aiming to make it out to this one!
there are a few variables involved here, but if i DO go and get tickets, and my brother is also gonna line up with me, i'll get you one for sure.
just don't make this your main plan as i'm not 100% sure how this is gonna work out.

Like we need 5 tickets if my mom is going, but my mom tends to back out of trips, in which case my brother could pick up the 4. If my brother has to work and my wife and i get a wild hair, we might run up there and grab them, which would give us the opportunity to get extras.

I'll sure let you know.

it'd also be cool to say what up. i think we were in the same section at BOK in 08 or so, and i think i SAW you because you told me what you'd have on, but we didn't wind up talking, even though it seems like we had talked on the board about chilling or at least saying what up. Shit, i barely remember. it's been TEN YEARS, which scares the hell out of me.

Anyway man, i'll for sure keep you posted.

So ok. As it stands right now, me and the mrs. are going to head that way on Saturday morning probably and spend the day and night at my brother's place and be there to get the tickets on Sunday morning.
The ten hour round trip is kind of a bitch, but I'm with you sick among the pure : see NIN at red rocks is also on my bucket list as well as something I've been waiting for for years since my brother moved up there.

Have we figured out for sure if it's the 19 or the 20, the ticket line up I mean?

According to a FaceBook reply by the venue/ticket company, all 8 windows will be open. Which has me wondering if there will be one line that they just take the next person at whichever window becomes available, or if everyone will be playing "which line should I pick" and hoping they got the one with the fastest person working it.

I have a good friend going for me in the morning, hopefully everything works out. If you see a girl in line with giant (probably around 2 inch) lobe tunnels, nose ring, tats everywhere, and redish dyed hair named Amanda, be nice to her and help her out, say you know Adam from the NIN forums. She hasn't ever done a big NIN lineup event (been to one show, NINJA tour, far off seat, which is why she's so excited to try to get tickets up close).
If all goes well for her, I'll be driving 22+ hours out to see everyone at Red Rocks this fall!

Have fun, everybody! I'm still recovering from yesterday's event in Phoenix, but it was 100% worth it (and I had a lot of fun in the process). Don't forget to check out the new songs at the listening station after you grab your tickets (assuming CO's got one set up). They're pretty badass.

Seven hours.

SEVEN. FUCKING. HOURS.

But we got our tickets for 9/19. Just GA but that's fine...this'll be the 15th time I've seen NIN and I don't need to be close. Just being in the best venue in the country is enough. Can't WAIT!

I had a good experience and got some pretty great seats (row 4!) but I was looking at the AXS page (https://www.axs.com/events/354519/nine-inch-nails-tickets) for the upcoming online sales and it's listing prices at $79.50 to $125.00. I bought the highest tier ticket yesterday priced at $152.15, which means I paid an extra $27 dollars per ticket for a fancy envelope, or I paid service charges at the box office. Either way, that does kind of irritate me. Sure, I'm super happy with my ticket location and the experience was good, I just want to know what the extra $150 was for on the five tickets I bought.

It does look like they were indeed charging fees. The official list price is $79.50 - $125, but if you scroll down to the FAQ part there's mention of prices being $101.35 - $152.15 with an additional $5 extra per order for hard tickets. :/

The only delivery option for tickets in Rows 1-7 are non-transferable Flash Seats. I was told on Sunday that my tickets would be delivered to my Flash Seats account on Monday, but they still haven't shown up as of yet. The charge on my CC is still pending too. Has anyone else that got tickets in the first 7 rows had their tickets delivered yet? I'm getting a little anxious about it.

I’m wondering the same thing, as I scored tix in row 4 for night 1 & row 2 for night 2. The ‘physical world’ tix I received after paying with cash were printed on the spot & look to be the actual, official tix used for entry; there’s nothing remarkable about these tickets, as they’re on regular ticket paper stock and look just like any other ticket for an AXS promoted event. Surprisingly my name isn’t printed on the tix and I’ve yet to see anything in my flash seats account, nor any email confirmation whatsoever. It’s strange but since I have hard tix & a receipt, I suppose I shouldn’t be that concerned.

The hard tickets are just a commemorative type of thing. Those aren't for entry at all, it was just so you could walk away from the onsale with something in your hand. I wish I would've asked for a receipt, or some sort of confirmation of seat location. Especially considering remaining tickets go online this Thursday.

That’s what we were led to believe and likely still is the case. However, with no email or name verification at the ticket window, no email confirmation received and nothing at all tying this order to my flash seats account, I’m wondering what gives. These tickets have bar codes and everything else you’d see on a normal ticket. With nothing to differentiate these from any other tix it makes me wonder if the ‘non-transferrable’ tag is merely to discourage scalpers from buying the best tix. Time will tell.

I actually wish these were more of a commemorative ticket; the ones we got from the spiral/nin.com presales we’re always really cool, plus having the names printed made them unique. I have mine framed with each respective tour poster and they look so much better than the regular/generic tix for all other events.

Someone else may be able to give a better answer than I can, but the short answer I think is a few rows (5-10 ish?) in the middle-front area and then row 60 and up or something like that. And of course standing room on either side of the seated area. I believe it varies a little from show to show, too.

There are different seating configurations at Red Rocks that artists can choose. One configuration has GA at the back and another GA section kind of towards the front. The NIN shows are not like that. Like HighPlainsDrifter said, GA for NIN is row 48 to the end. Everything in front of that is reserved seating only.

I’ve never seen a GA section at the front, it’s always at the back 1/3rd or so. There’s no room for GA in the front. You can actually go to Red Rocks during an off day and walk up on the stage. There’s nothing in the front but room for security and the “seating” is fixed.

Just a heads-up if someone ends up trying to sell off a ticket for the 19th, I'm interested, and plan on checking Stubhub and such like a week before and a few days before for a "just take it" cheap ticket, but if a decent one comes up before that I'll probably hop on that too. I just feel like driving 22+ hours each way for only one night is a waste of potential, but because of how much I'll need for gas I can't justify another $150-$100 ticket, and feel like if I'm as far back as the more reasonably priced seats are I won't be as into it.

This is accurate. I've seen close to 100 shows there and it's different every time. I'm seeing a couple of other shows there this summer other than Nine Inch Nails, and both of those have the GA sections from Rows 3-32. Really just depends on the show, which always causes a fair amount of stress when getting tickets because it's never the same.

The only thing that led me to think there may be a front-ish GA area is that Gorillaz had one at their show. There was a narrow strip of seats a few rows up from the front (like row 10, not FRONT front) that were GA, and then the rest were kept in the 60s. But I've only seen the one show there, and also haven't seen the seating arrangement for these particular shows, so I wouldn't know, heh.

My real problem was getting there about 20 minutes to showtime and parking was an absolute cluster fuck. I hadn't realized how problematic parking would be in the mountains. Gee, who knew? ^^' At least it was free.

Interesting- I’ve never seen that before. Maybe for someone like Ween they know it’s not going to be a huge turnout so it’s just kind of self serve seats? I guess that’s a question for the venue to answer.

For the locals, are there reasonable alternatives to driving out there and parking? I'm flying in from Seattle with a couple friends for both nights and we're trying to sort out whether to rent a car or figure out other options. Leaning toward getting a hotel in downtown Denver, but nothing booked yet.

You can always Uber or Lyft out there, but you'll still encounter the same trouble with getting out at the end of the night. And a ride from there to downtown would likely run $50+. There are shuttle buses that run up there, but I've never taken one. If you do drive you can always try and park on the streets up to Red Rocks instead of in the parking lot which can save time at the end of the night but if you are able to do that MAKE SURE YOU PARK GOING DOWNHILL! If you pull over for street parking uphill, you won't be able to flip a u-turn to save your life which means you will be waiting for everyone above you to come down.

There's only bus service. You can ride Greyhound or Bustang (https://www.ridebustang.com/south-line) for about $12 each way. But, you also have to consider that Red Rocks is way out in the boonies, about a 30 min drive from downtown Denver. So, if you bus to Denver, you still have to get a shuttle to Red Rocks (about $40 per person, round trip) or Lyft. And then, by the time the show gets out at 10-11 PM, there are no buses back to CO Springs, so you either need to get a hotel or Lyft all the way back.

You could Lyft directly from CO Springs to Red Rocks, but using the fare estimator, it said that was about $115 one-way.

Are there big parking lots near the amphitheater? Did I just not notice them?
That's very possible, as, like I said, we were driving around because we thought the line for tickets was actually AT red rocks.

There is a surprising number of tickets for the 9/18 show on Stubhub at face price. My concert buddy can't make this show and my wife doesn't want to do two nights in a row...the three of us and another friend are all going on 9/19 but part of me REALLY wants to go to 9/18 as well. I can't decide if it's worth braving Red Rocks by myself for the first night.

If you haven't checked Craigslist, you should. I got my ticket for 9/18 from a post there earlier today. Most were pricy, though...mine was $135 and that was the lowest I saw (besides obvious scam posts), but it is a reserved seat in row 45.

I much prefer giving my money to a fan than a scalper, even if it's the same price.
Edit: stubhub has closer rows for a lower price.


Also wondering, because of the way Red Rocks is set up, is it "your ticket is good for that row, tickets don't have specific seats" kind of situation?

Same. The person I found is a fan who can no longer attend so he sold for what he paid ($135 w/taxes and fees).


Edit: stubhub has closer rows for a lower price.
Did you get to the checkout page? I saw a group of 3 tickets for seats 116, 117, 118 in row 27 or 29 for the 9/18 show for $140/ea and was stoked. When I went through and got to the checkout page, they were ~$194/ea with Stubhub's bullshit tacked on.


Also wondering, because of the way Red Rocks is set up, is it "your ticket is good for that row, tickets don't have specific seats" kind of situation?
My understanding is that GA is something like rows 46-69 (it changes show-to-show and I recall that being the range for NIN) and your ticket says: "Row: General Admission." That's how my physical tickets for 9/19 are and so for that show, we can take any unclaimed spot we want in those rows.

If it says a row and seat number, that is your reserved spot. There aren't actual seats but there are little plaques along the the benches for each "seat" (really "place" is more appropriate) number and the number of seats per row changes depending on where you are because the venue is kind of bean-shaped.

TheBang

Row 47 is the last reserved row for this gig. Everything behind that is the GA section.

I imagine prices will continue to fall as the date gets closer.

And just like that, they're gone. I got my ticket to night 2 for row 25 for $140 after fees on StubHub. It was one of a set of 4 someone had up. I was about to link you guys so I could have ETS members around me, and the other 3 have been snatched up.
I'm nervous as hell about using Flash Seats, especially after the reviews for their app, but I've yet to have any actual problems with mobile tickets.
Shit these shows are just over a month away, I am already getting pre-show anxiety excitement.


Well, I found out why it seemed too good to be true, the seller "made a mistake" and the ticket that I paid for 3 days ago is not available.
The good news is Stub Hub is actually an amazing company and they're giving me a FREE UPGRADE to row 17. AND they're printing and mailing the ticket, so I don't have to deal with fucking Flash Seats. Deleting that app now.

Amazing opportunity to sit front row at red rocks (yes, that's Row 1) and keep your conscience clear that you CAN be in ADA seating:
- two mega NIN fans driving from Toronto had a third party unable to make it
- yes, we both have mobility disabilities and need the seating! So you as the 3rd ticket, even without a disability, will not be hassled by the venue.
- row 1 seats 38, 39 and 40 which if you do the math appears to be centre stage

What's the catch?
- since it's ADA seating, you must enter with the original ticket buyer. We cannot send you the ticket.
- since we worked our asses off to get these tickets this one is not at face value. Sorry.

How can you trust us/know this isn't a rip off?
- well first off, we're very obvious. If you're coming to Red Rocks for the show, you'll see us ;)
- we will send you a video with the promise to honour ticket, serving as a verbal contract.
- one of us goes to NIN shows all over North America, and will be at more this year, so that would be a total ass move by a fan, and someone so easy to identify, too.
- go ahead and google why you cannot send/resell ADA tickets like regular tickets (see: court ruling related to scalpers eating these up and people with wheelchairs getting nothing).

When is this???
- Sept. 18. But. We also got what we could for Sept. 19. Which are the other ADA seats alllll the way at the back. Row 70. Selling that ONE ticket at face value... And we have an idea to try and get to row 1 that night. So, if you want to do the row 70 you may end up lucking out.

Looking forward to finding someone who is going to love this once in a lifetime opportunity as much as we will!

$40 for that shuttle? JEEZ! I know it's a convenience and taking care of a really obnoxious problem, but DAMN.

I'm getting there later on 9/18 so I can just catch the end of J&MC or hopefully get there in time to just catch NIN so I'm hoping the fact I'll be rolling in between 8-8:30pm means I'm near the back of whichever lot I end up getting a spot in so I can power walk back afterwards and get the fuck out ASAP.

Welp, now I'm pissed. I really thought prices would increase dramatically the closer we got. Sigh. Basically 1/3 what I paid for my 9/18 ticket a month back. :(

@Mattman840 (https://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=6446) @elevenism (https://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=2475) not sure where you're staying but if you're going to be right downtown, the 16th Street Mall has a lot of shopping/food options but be aware of rampant, aggressive homeless and even more aggressive Green Peace assholes. For food, if you like Mexican, you must go to D'Corazon. Best Mexican food in LoDo and easily the best carnitas I've ever had.

Tattered Cover bookstore is pretty cool and only a few blocks from D'Corazon.

There are a number of breweries nearby, too, but closer to 20th Street and Park Ave West. If you're feeling adventurous, Broadway can be a lot of fun, especially south Broadway. It's sort of an antiques district with a bunch of those shops, tattoo parlors, and bars/breweries.

17th Ave is sort of the "heart" of Uptown and there are a bunch of great restaurants along there going east toward City Park (which is also pretty cool). Colfax has a ton of stuff going on but it's kind of scuzzy and dirty with a lot of homeless people along it so be wary.

If you want to do a hike, Mt. Falcon isn't that far from the city but I'm not sure that an Uber/Lyft would take you there or pick you up from there. But you get some great views of the city and it feels like you're in the mountains despite barely being outside of the city limits. The Red Rocks grounds are also beautiful with tons of trails to hike on.

Just be sure that no matter what you do, you bring sunscreen and water.

Does anyone recommend a good tattoo parlor/artist around Denver?? I may be making a trip to Colorado Springs to get work done by a childhood friend of mine, but if that falls through, I’d rather not have to drive an additional hour away for ink if I don’t have to. NIN tattoo is definitely happening next week in honor of the shows!

Also, for any vinyl collectors not in the know - If you wanna pick up some wax, you MUST go to Twist and Shout. That place is dope, and their stock is even fairly priced, in most cases. It’s a large warehouse-style shop with vinyl, CDs, books, movies, collectibles, all that goodness. I drop by any time I’m in town. It’s actually where I picked up my copy of Bad Witch, and they happened to have free card-stock mini posters of the album cover available with purchase of the album. Great place!

Regarding ticket prices: RR drops to below $50, meanwhile Chicago is still sitting pretty at $160 for the Saturday show. Eesh...fingers crossed for those Thursday and Saturday tickets to drop in price, too, but I hate gambling and holding out until the last minute in hopes for a price drop.

And as someone who’s only been to Red Rocks one time, I can safely say that I can’t stress enough how important it is that you get there early for a good spot in GA, heh. ^^’ With this price drop happening, I see that space filling up even faster now. I’m gonna have to leave KS (the opposite end of KS from CO, mind you) at like 5 am to get to town in a timely manner. Woohoo!

Twist and Shout is the shit! I go there every couple of weeks to pick up new stuff. Their metal/hardcore selection is phenomenal--for CDs at least.

Angelo's CDs and More also has a location on Colfax and their prices/selection is on par with T&S, it's much closer to downtown though (Colfax & Ogden, vs. Colfax & York...actually a block or two east of York for Twist and Shout).

Not from me: I've only been to Red Rocks once, when we thought that's where the tickets were being sold.
I haven't spent much time in Denver even though my brother lives there. I need to get up there more.

I, too, need protips :/

It looks like it's REALLY fucking tricky to get to the venue from where I'm sitting.
Mattman840 if you're in downtown Monday night, Comedy Works is considered by many(Craig Ferguson, Joe Rogan, Chris Hardwick etc) to be one of if not the best comedy club in America. They have a "new talent" night on Mondays that's cheap, though I can't vouch for the talent that particular night. Aside from Red Rocks itself, that's Denver's best must see venue.
elevenism If you like Indian/Nepalese food, your hotel looks like it's right across Highway 36 from Yak and Yeti. They've got the best food in a state with a large Nepalese population.
If you're here for a full week, I'd recommend taking one day to head up the turnpike to Boulder and beyond to either Estes Park or Nederland. IT shouldn't be too hard to get to Red Rocks from where you're at. Just follow the highways. 36 to 25 to 76 to 70. Sounds like a lot, but if you're on google maps, you'll see that they're just the logical progression from one to the next until you get there, and you should miss Downtown traffic entirely.

i decided not to do Red Rocks- would’ve had to take three days off work in the middle of a work week. I did manage to get a work trip around the Phoenix shows so attended both and they did not disappoint.

Hell yes!
These will be my fifth and sixth NIN shows, but also my first time seeing them since 08.

A couple of weeks ago I didn't think we would actually get to go to ONE night. The fact that I just found out a few hours ago that we 're going to both has got me so ridiculously excited that I can't sleep.

I’d go see Nickelback play Red Rocks.

Seriously though, by far and away my favorite venue. Post up your reviews of the place itself, and don’t forget to visit the small museum. Also if you’re arriving into the area the day before the show try to make into Red Rocks. It’s all accessible, even the stage. You can seriously just walk right on it. There will be runners going up and down the steps getting their work out in. And for those that aren’t used to high altitudes, yes it takes a bit more out of you.

11:45pm on weeknights. That's promising. :D

And in Phoenix, NIN was on at 9:15 or so. I'd assume that holds for these shows as well. Hopefully with the longer curfew we got longer shows!

Checking in again. Got our flight from KC to Den headed out this evening! Tickets for both nights- seats then GA, this is like a major bucket list type item for me. Not just Red Rocks, but NIN at Red Rocks! I think this will be show 8 & 9 for me?

No hotel for tonight- any recommendations where to stay?

Got a rental car.
A little worried our tickets are that flash seating through that app/AXS so I hope that works but I'm sure this big venue has that worked out.

I still need to pack, I have so much to do at work for this week. I hope we can enjoy Denver and not just work the whole time. Hope to see some of you all there!

Walking from my car uphill all the way to the venue for Gorillaz wiped my ass OUT. I get used to high altitudes quickly and I’m not in particularly bad shape either. Those slopes don’t fuck around if you’re on foot. But it’s crazy how you can just go there during the day. They even have yoga sessions where everyone brings their mats to the stands and sets up and does their thing. Very cool place.

^ No idea what time I’m getting there for sure, but I’d be down for whatever! If nothing else there’s always after the shows or whenever anyone else is free. I’d be down to meet some of you too! Even if it ends up being coincidental. I know I personally won’t have a lot of phone time until I get to my air bnb, but with all of us here for the week I’m sure we can figure something out. If not, there’s always the unspoken camaraderie of seeing what will inevitably be an incredible show/shows together and splurging our feelings here afterward.

Money’s gonna be a little tight until I get all the merch I plan on getting, but money and time allowing, I’d be up for a meetup elsewhere, too! Ya know, drinks or something.

I’m doing all my packing now. Then I’m gonna clean up my scruffy-ass face and shave my head and pass out, so tomorrow - be on the lookout for the bald, bearded dude in the red Demon Seed t-shirt! IT IS FINALLY UPON US!

I did like the show poster, and the foil one was available by the time I got up to the table, but it didn’t grab me enough to justify dropping $100 on it. We’ll see how tonight's design is! Hopefully they actually have a line at the smaller one tonight and not a mass of people and exclusively help those who shoved their way to the front of the line.

This fucker next to me! I cut him off with my arm after he just pushed his way to the front, next to me at the table, and I was like “sorry man, but -“ and he goes “whoa, no, it’s cool dude, we’re all dealing with the same shit,” and then got his shit before me!

JMAC is playing their last song now. I'm guessing NIN at 8pm.
