Yeah, I know they did Lolla together and they're both alternative, but they're not exactly the kind of bands that have the same fans. If Trent decided to go on tour with Tool (which has been something fans have been requesting for a long time) it would make sense. If he and Marilyn Manson were still friends, THAT tour would have made sense. If he and Radiohead decided to tour as the two big art-rock acts of the year and innovators of media distribution, THAT would have made sense. I just don't get the whole JA thing... honestly, all my friends listen to NIN but none of us listen to JA. the point is that TRENT chose who to tour with. personally, i would be pissed if they toured with Tool or Marilyn Manson...ugh...terrible. nin and jane's are obviously the "kind of bands that have the same fans" because there are PLENTY of people who are excited about this line-up.

I agree, i think a Manson or Tool tour would be much better suited than Jane's Addiction. I mean comeon. Who REALLY likes JA? If anyone hates JA that much though, who cares. Don't come to the show.

But the ticket prices are too high for something I just paid half the price to see a year ago. I'm buying tickets to Fiddlers Green in Denver, CO and anyone who's been to a show there knows that even front row tickets aren’t worth anything. It's a nice amphitheater but a crappy venue for any show. Front sections and pit run for $105? That’s outrageous!! $65 for the rest? That should be the max price for all seats at this venue. The way the price structure looks I'll be paying $35 to sit on the grass? Again outrageous!! Especially when I'm about to see two other shows with just as popular bands at this same venue for less than $15 a piece. I understand that some venues are worth this price. But come the fu*k on Trent not all of us make that kind of money. I can either eat, and pay rent or I can see NIN what do you think most of us will do. I know I'll be cold and hungry.

The tickets are definitely very pricey, but for a last hurrah with NIN live I don't mind paying it.

Well, I am glad Chicago got a great f-n deal on their tickets, here on the west, it's a whole different story. I don't know why they always choose to go to Shoreline. That venue is kinda shit actually. It's all seating, so if you don't act very quickly or know someone who has season tickets, you're fucked. The only way I would drop this much fucking money is if they came to my town. Seeing Jane's is not really worth paying over 20 bucks as far as I'm concerned. I mean.. I used to think Navarro was ok, you know, he's alright at that guitar I suppose..but then I see him on "You Can Be A Fucking Rock Star And Hang Out With Porn Chicks Like Me American Idol" bullshit. Anyone on a reality show is not a headliner to me. That is just how it is. Not going to any of these overpriced shows.

Eh, whatever. I bitched about paying it for Kansas City, but it's front friggin' row what do you expect. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/18/2009 12:06PM by Thelema.

Like them or not, Janes Addiction IS really very much a talented band that had quite an impact on the industry and alternative music in general. What in your mind defines "headliner"?? just who you like the best? It IS a shame that Dave Navarro became such a charicature (sp?) of "rock star" being on those TV shows and such and that DOES hurt his "cred" with a lot of fans. Same as how people learned to hate Tom Cruise. So I DO understand what youre saying. But the band is damn good and deserves just as much respect. Fanboys to one or the other will disagree perhaps. As Ive said before on here - I wasnt much of a fan of theirs and they blew me away that first lollapalooza tour. there was something pretty magical when they were together up on stage. Even to a non fan like me.

I agree,i for one liked ja back in the day never did get to see them when they were good but not too sure i would have liked it from what i have seen the dude talks way to much at shows.Its too bad i would have really wanted to see NiN on this what could possibly be last tour in awhile or forever but like everyone else i can not afford it

What a steal. I couldn't be happier. It obviously has to do with Jane's Addiction being at the show, since Chicago is just NIN.

Trufax. QOTSA Was at the height of their career (Or just after the apex), Janes Addiction is more like nostalgia. By that logic of comparing festivals to this, the price for Autolux/QOTSA/NIN was a ripoff as well then, and a whole lot of other concerts for that matter (probably because festivals can afford to keep the rates lower?). Beyond that, festivals will contain a different show of a given band, but here, a designated show for a band (or bands, typically not exceeding 3 total), the acts will generally bust out different, more concentrated stuff for the audience. Let's also keep in mind that the actual term "co-headlining" wasn't used for QOTSA & NIN (nor was it for Bauhaus & NIN)--JA/NIN may very well be aiming for a generally same set time (as well as possibly interchanging who headlines). Also note the times that have changed since 2005. The economy might very well be a factor, the fact that these shows are held in amphitheaters as well (opposed to arenas), but ultimately: the 100$ bucks has to be split more than just 2 1/2 ways... Probably more like 5 ways or something. Edited 4 time(s). Last edit at 03/19/2009 12:33PM by clocksrun.

When i went to the LITS show in october, the ticket prices on ticketmaster were $200, but when i went to the box office, they were only $45. But then, you have to drive all the way to the box office, which in my case was over 300 miles away...but worth it!!

Those are the front seats. The rear seating sections 200+ and the green haven't even been made available anywhere yet. the tickets will be the same price on NIN presale as they are anywhere else. the pricing structure will most likey be $105, $65, $55, and $45 for the lawn. I'm hoping that the rear seating is $45 and the lawn is $35 or $25 but it'll probably be the more expensive of the two.

Vance2 member Wild card, bitches! Joined: 09/18/08 Location: NH Posts: 87	I will be very surprised...and I do mean very...if, after they realize they are not selling enough tix to the shows, they do a lot of discounting closer to the respective dates. They do that all the time at Mansfield (even if they are the really crappy lawn seats). I'm going to be very curious to see what the actual attendance is at these shows. That being said, at least the scalpers are going to take it on the chin on this tour.
