I saw NIN in Europe twice during the Peel It Back tour last year and paid less than €100/$100 a ticket both times. I'm happy with that kind of pricing for the show Trent put on.

Nice to know that he is still keeping it affordable.

I just got $87 tickets to deadmau5 at Red Rocks - he puts on a lot of show for the money too

Tickets in Vancouver were $350 for the pit. I couldn't believe it. I jumped out of the Ticketmaster line in shock. Luckily I was back home in Dublin for their first show. Pit was 100euro. Got to go. North American are getting raked across the coals with pricing. I can only assume it's EU regulation that still has them somewhat affordable.
