I can't believe I just spent time on this. This is ripe for some new code built into NIN Tour History.

Sigh.
How about a different game?
Similar rules, but you list top-10 most played songs that you haven't seen.

Here's mine:
22 Get Down Make Love
26 The Only Time

(I've apparently heard Down in it live 7 times? I have no recollection of this).

I got pretty lucky seeing a Fragility 2.0 show, and every tour since barring Performance 2007, so it's mostly old tracks (except for "Less Than" and "HYPERPOWER!") on my still-to-see list:
26 The Only Time
31 Ringfinger
33 That's What I Get
41 The Downward Spiral
70 Last
73 Physical (You're So)
77 Less Than
84 Big Man with a Gun
88 Piggy (Nothing Can Stop Me Now)
91 HYPERPOWER!
total: 614
Rounding out the top twenty:
94 Gone, Still
98 Deep
99 Branches/Bones
102 All the Love in the World
102 Closer to God
106 Getting Smaller
107 This Isn't the Place
109 Hand Covers Bruise
109 Over and Out
111 Satellite

Agree that this is an interesting twist.
My score is 652. Here is a breakdown, along with a comment about the frequency of being played and relative rarity.
1 That's What I Get 33 pts Played 153 times, none since '91 2 Me, I'm Not 42 112, (not that rare, just missed it!) 3 No, You Don't 51 90, none since '07 4 Into the Void 55 81, none since '13 5 The Great Below 66 60, none since '00 6 With Teeth 75 49, none since '07 7 The Mark Has Been Made 78 44, none since '00 8 Complication 78 44, none since '00 9 Big Man With A Gun 84 41, only twice since '94 10 The Collector 90 37, none since '09
A "win" here could be LOWEST score, in which case you might be considered the UN-luckiest NIN fan; or the HIGHEST score, in which you would be glossed 'King/Queen of the Catalog.'
If you're looking for high scores, it probably favors older fans, and more frequent attendance at shows. Obviously, the earlier in a band's career, the smaller the catalog, and the more frequent everything was played. The older material falls off over time, and becomes more 'rare,' even though the play count remains relatively high. Although, the diverse selists of the '09 and '18 runs also fill in some of the gaps.
I don't think we should be counting multipliers. I'm seeing people here getting very high scores from mid-level rarities ranking at around 100 but seen a dozen time.
Here's my count anyway, from 39 shows :

101 - Just Like You Imagined
Total : 686
Here's my never-seen top 20.
Ignoring the Ghosts tracks and PHM favorites that haven't been played since the mid-90s, I'm still holding out hope of seeing GDML and at least a few of the Fragile and W_T-era rarities before Trent hangs up his spurs.
Rank Points Song 1 22 Get Down Make Love (Queen cover) 2 26 The Only Time 3 31 Ringfinger 4 33 That's What I Get 5 51 No, You Don't 6 75 With Teeth 7 91 HYPERPOWER! 8 94 Every Day Is Exactly the Same 9 98 Deep 10 104 Various Methods of Escape 11 107 21 Ghosts III 12 109 Hand Covers Bruise (TR/AR cover) 13 111 Please 14 115 1 Ghosts I 15 115 25 Ghosts III 16 119 Maybe Just Once 17 119 28 Ghosts IV 18 121 Capital G 19 124 14 Ghosts II 20 127 Kinda I Want To Top 10 625 Top 20 1,792
Made super simple by my having no covers in my top 10 or songs heard more than once. That's what happens when you only see 1-2 shows a tour and when you started in 2000 lol
147 - 8 Ghosts I
121 - Meet Your Master
117 - The Background World
115 - 1 Ghosts I
109 - Over and Out
107 - 21 Ghosts III
107 - This Isn't the Place
104 - The Perfect Drug
102 - All the Love in the World
99 - Branches/Bones [Burning Bright (Field on Fire) also tied for this slot]

37 The line begins to blur
score 259
I've only been to two concerts thus far, so my score is rather low 855 points:
Rank Track Name Play Count Points Venue 1 Digital* 6 131
Zitadelle Berlin 2018 2 Branches/Bones 25 99 Zitadelle Berlin 2018 3 Ahead of Ourselves 38 88 Zitadelle Berlin 2018 4 God Break Down the Door 41 84 Zitadelle Berlin 2018 5 Shit Mirror 41 84 Zitadelle Berlin 2018 6 The Lovers 43 80 Zitadelle Berlin 2018 7 Less Than 45 77 Zitadelle Berlin 2018 8 Metal* 46 76 Berlin Arena 2009 9 Physical (You‘re So)* 55 73 Berlin Arena 2009 10 I‘m Afraid of Americans* 70 63 Berlin Arena 2009
I am quite happy I got to see Digital. Afraid of Americans I have seen twice, but as it is the last of the list it only counts one time.
Without covers the score goes down to 731 points. These are the successors:
Rank Track Name Play Count Points Venue 6 Less Than 45 77 Zitadelle Berlin 2018 7 Non-Entity 72 61 Berlin Arena 2009 8 Heresy 72 61 Berlin Arena 2009 9 Head Down 80 56 Berlin Arena 2009 10 The Downward Spiral 117 41 Berlin Arena 2009
Considering my top ten consists to great parts of trilogy songs I think that these are even cooler to some extend. I am especially glad I got to see Non-Entity and Heresy.
In my top tracks there are still some major standards missing:
Rank Track Name Play Count Points 1 Terrible Lie 742 4
2 Closer 617 7 3 Sin 515 9 4 Suck 480 10 5 The Wretched 325 17 6 Eraser 296 19 7 Only 287 20 8 Sanctified 287 20 9 Get Down, Make Love 255 22 10 Dead Souls 215 23
My rank is 151 points. So apparently I'd be one of the persons that would be happy to see Closer. Terrible Lie is also a big miss. I am quite surprised to see Get Down, Make Love in this list though. Didn't know that it has been such a staple in NIN's performances
