I don't know. It's only money I guess. Feeling a bit of buyer's remorse. I probably should have held out for prices to maybe drop closer to date of the show but considering I'm coming from out of town, I didn't want to risk it.
I can't think of any other band I'd spend this kind of money on.
As far as the B stage goes, fans are speculating it'll either be a piano set/interlude similar to what Rammstein did or it's a DJ booth for the opener (rumoured to be boys noize, who they did the challengers soundtrack with). If it does turn out to be a few stripped down songs with Trent and a Piano, that'll be awesome.

I was at the Wiltern show in LA 2009, and at the time, I thought I had spent way too much on the whole deal. Flew in the morning of, 1 night in not the nicest motel (still felt expensive) meals, etc. Luckily, I met a couple of people on the flight who were doing the exact same trip and had a car rental waiting at LAX. They allowed my brother and I to carpool into the area. Without that stroke of luck the cab ride would have been obscenely expensive.
I remember leading up to the trip I was feeling serious buyers remorse too, like that was a pile of money and time to spend, plus I wasn't fabulously wealthy back then as I am now.
Then getting to hear Robin Finck shred Ruiner made it all better, among many other things.
Back then the ticket system for the wave goodbye tour was designed to prevent scalping. Tickets were reasonably priced i think, only available on the nin website and only the name of the buyer with valid ID could use the ticket, if I remember correctly. The logistics on Trents end to make that sort of thing possible would have been immensely complicated, but the spirit of the setup was much appreciated.
