Press Release:

It’s been eight years since their last performance in NZ at Big Day out 2000 and now it is with great pleasure that The Frontier Touring Company announce the return of Nine Inch Nails (NIN) for one show only in Auckland at Vector Arena on Tuesday 17 February 2009. Nine Inch Nails (NIN) is the “most popular industrial act ever” formed by founder and frontman Trent Reznor in 1989 in Cleveland, Ohio. First release, Pretty Hate Machine found an audience with rockers as well as mainstream listeners and from there spawned a 20 year career which has seen Trent Reznor receive 10 Grammy Award nominations and 2 Grammy Award wins as well as being named one of Rolling Stone’s Top 100 Greatest Rock Acts of all time. Reznor exists as the only official member of NIN. He gathers groups of skilled artists to play with him on each of his live tours yet remains as the sole musician, singer and producer on all of his recordings.

NIN and Trent Reznor have released a total of 12 albums since their conception in 1989 (four of which were remix albums). With his most recent releases in 2008, Ghost I-IV and The Slip digitally released under Creative Commons licenses, The Slip was made available as a free download on NIN website www.nin.com Currently on tour in North America, NIN are said to play homage to huge set list spanning songs from their entire career and playing for over 2 hours. This is a must see show for fans new and old.

Tickets for this un-missable concert will go on sale from 9.00am on Wednesday 10 December through Ticketmaster www.ticketmaster.co.nz (09) 970 9700 and pre-sale details will be online at www.frontiertouring.com

What do you call a cow with no legs?
Ground beef.

That has to be worth a couple of tickets.

i am so disappointed i only just heard about this tour!!! i have just spent my whole pay and cant afford these tikets so to win them would be absolutly amazing!!!!!

Posted by courtangalang 2 years ago

heck i would give my double pass to my boss who saw them last at the big day out i think, but the real cincher is that it will give him a break from his 5 kids so he can have a night for himself and possibly wife too.

give the tickets to me or i'll eat you

Posted by redleisa 2 years ago

Winning these tickets would be very cool.
Having not a cent to my name makes it somewhat impossible to purchase tickets myself.
I also have an equally as poor, equally in love with NIN friend who would be ecstatic to go as much as i would.
PLEASE!!
Would be the highlight of my year, no doubt.

It would be pretty mean to get these tickets because my sister and I are heaps into NIN, plus I've always wanted to check out the sound at Vector but the base minimum $100 ticket prices thwart my well-meaning student intentions!

Posted by speshtian 2 years ago

To be honest, who doesn't love free stuff? Whether I get em or not, Undertheradar- mucho respecto. Love your chops.

Posted by crispeye 2 years ago

I LOVE NIN And It Would Be Amazing If I Won The Tickets. Who Knows When They Will Return To NZ?
It Could Be My Only Posibble Chance To Ever Se Them Perform Live.

Posted by chocoholic_sugar_crazy@hotmail.com 2 years ago

I love both Nine Inch Nails and Undertheradar. Please, don't allow either to be unrequited.

Posted by Funeral 2 years ago

the reason why it would be super awesome to get these tickets, is because im nearing my last few days in auckland and NIN is one of my best mates and mine fav bands... one of those bands where every song reminds you of a different crazy memory.
So it would be an awesome gig to go to to leave knowing it was with a bang:)
:D

Hello - I've been a fan since 'Pretty Hate Machine' came out in 1989! I'm a bit broke so I was going to ask my boy to buy me a ticket for my birthday but if I win, it would make a great Valentine gift for him :)

Posted by Renza 2 years ago

I need these tickets so I may continue to live, if i win i'll get NIN tattooed on my arse and send you picks!!!

Posted by shony66 2 years ago

I want these tickets more than a fat girl wants cake.
Please and thankyou.

Regards, Nic

It was my cats last dying wish that I see NIN live. I owe it to her

Posted by linc143 2 years ago

Because i missed them when they came to the big day out years ago and i'm poor and they rule and the only live music i have seen in the last 6 months is coca cola christmas in the park arghhhhhhhhhhh
SAVE ME PLEASE

Posted by oldchops 2 years ago

i love NIN and thats it!! and im tooo broke to afford tickets, accomm, flights etc etc etc but if i won tickets i wud find a way to get there!! id sell my kidneys just to see trent mmmmm.

Posted by kiwigurrl 2 years ago

NIN music has a lot of meaning to me and I was almost going to pay to go to Australia when they were last there just to see them, but I didn't and now I am too poor to see them when they are actually here, which is very upsetting :(

Posted by Sweat_Leaf@hotmail.com 2 years ago

Because I've been stuck at the other end of the country since I was old enough to go to gigs, and I've never been to Auckland. Tickets to NIN would be a pretty good reason to make the trip up :D

Posted by Lee Nicolson 2 years ago

I wish I could go Undertheradar. I will probably just stand outside Vector Arena and listen to 9" Nails from there!!:(

Posted by kinkyreggae 2 years ago

and I'll give one of the tickets away if i win the double pass- Under the radar chooses for me who gets the other ticket :)

cos my mum said so

Posted by zarzeph 2 years ago

Nine Inch Nails' music has meaning to me that I can't find in anywhere else.

Posted by sperzel 2 years ago

I really would like to win these tickets because i had to use my ticket money to get the phone reconnected cause the rest flatmates didnt pay their share of the bill...

:(

because both my partner and myself would love to see them live ... sorry ... I don't have a better reason than that...

Posted by stepanka 2 years ago

because you're worth it & so am I. x

Posted by Leery 2 years ago

Cos I'm a poor student, so you should give them to me definitely.

Posted by kalimdornz 3 years ago

Please? I just got fired.

Posted by tedious_toad 3 years ago

if you give me the tickets i will f**k you like an animal ... ;)

Posted by proto.pm 3 years ago

Because I wont try to grease you.

Posted by cafegirl 3 years ago

Just because man.

Posted by jimmyjames 3 years ago

because my cat died and my dad is sick and i've got a sore leg.

Posted by ocean_of_noise 3 years ago

i deserve a good night out, i've been scraping paint off my windows for so long now...

Posted by GriffRobb 3 years ago

Please pick me as you would have to be out of your mind to miss NIN. I don't have a good enough reason apart from this would be a celebration for my 30th birthday (just a number) I also am going to 3 other gigs that week and would love to be shouted in.

Really keen to go as I've been a fan for a while..
Like pre pretty hate machine.
In fact, I own a copy of halo one- (obviously) his first release, a maxi single of 'down in it', featuring various re-rubs..
That and I've just moved up from CHCH to study, my trailer had a blowout and my poor little car broke down twice. So, what limited funds I had to tide me over have been decimated!

I found my love for NIN in 06, listening to with teeth and the fragile as much as i could, this carried me into 07. I followed the "treasure hunt" online and kept YZ on continuous shuffle. NIN has helped me get through hard times in my life, and though im still young, i have a major appreciation for Trent Reznor and the music he produces. I wasn't allowed to go to BDO because my dads an asshole. My iPod Touch was stolen at the river, so no music :(. And on top of all this, five minutes ago, dad said he won't buy me a ticket so im stuck :(

Amoung those reasons NIN rocks, and this may be the only chance i ever get to see a band that means something to me, live.

I NEED these tickets because my girlfriend, she's the one by the way ..., is mad and not talking to me and she would love to go and then would love me too! please, help the lesbians!!! my girl is Rebekah, heart, heart. xox

Posted by djtwinkle 3 years ago

because the iron maiden christchurch date was moved to the day I have to move into my auckland uni hall of residence, so I can't go. so I want to go up a few days early and try and catch maiden in auckland, as well as underoath and nine inch nails if i can afford it: winning these would definitely help costs!

Posted by guitaristUK2NZ 3 years ago

oh lordy....i will be so frikin gutted if i miss reznor et al.....my boy already has his ticket....ARRRRGH!!!!!!

Posted by Miz Blackheart 3 years ago

Trent Reznor is my God. Enough said.

Posted by njwilson 3 years ago

Cause NIN is awesome, & i'm a poor student.

Posted by LionLamb 3 years ago

I need tix ciz my friends went and bought theirs without me, and there's no way I can get seats with them. That's how much they care haha also I'm incredibly broke, but love NIN so much!

Posted by mookid 3 years ago

I dont know why there was a blank comment next to my name, but anyway...
Please and Thank You.

Posted by denver 3 years ago

I need these tickets because i've been wanting to see NIN forever, and i missed out last time when they played at the BDO.
Being stuck down here in Wellington, I cant afford to both get up there and buy tickets :(
But i could afford to get up there if i won tickets!
(Hint-hint)

"I want to F#*k you like an animal" undertheradar and "with Teeth". That's how keen i am, please don't let me go down the 'downward spiral' cause that would "hurt", this isn't the "year zero" and there aint any "ghosts I–IV" around so don't let this be " the slip", im too "fragile and "broken" so let me win the tickets you "pretty hate machine"

Posted by hugh26 3 years ago

I'll probably be chanting "Will you bite the hand that feeds" for the next few months also.

Posted by marks 3 years ago

because im "laid back, I'll give you laid back" and NIN needs to torment the hot chip lyrics out of my brain before I go CRAZY!!!

I want! So much that I need.

Posted by Mary 3 years ago

Being a student in plenty of debt, I still would label going to this as a priority. But when you can't even find the money for some baked beans, it makes it difficult to purchase tickets for a gig that's going to be this insane!

Posted by tommov 3 years ago

I've been wanting to see NIN ever since I first heard Pretty Hate Machine and I need the inspiration to help kick off my own world conquering musical legacy. I believe it will be audio spectacular. Plus I think someone needs to give Trent a hug, cause why so SERIOUS!!

Posted by tbass 3 years ago

I need the tickets because it's going to be an amazing show and since there are so many concerts happening this year that I can't afford any more tickets and I am so poor I have had to give up Coca Cola and cigarettes because I can't afford them anymore.

Posted by lukin 3 years ago

I need these tickets 'cos if I don't have to pay, I can keep one for myself, then hock the other one off on trademe and them spend the money on some f**kin badass drugs so I can be f**ked up at the gig, you know the weirdo dancing to a different beat up the front!

Posted by caelan 3 years ago

Because its on My 18th birhtday and ive been looking foward to turning 18 forver so i can finally start going to gigs,ive missed so many sick bands and this would be perfect to see an awesome band!would make birthday best ever!!

Posted by nzrolla 3 years ago

I already have my ticket. I got it in the presale but I have two friends who love NIN even more than me (this is by no means an easy task...but they go mental for NIN) but they can't afford to go. As it is I'm going on my own :( and they aren't going at all. It would be fantastic if we could all go together. Put this prize "Right where it Belongs"...in my mates hands. UTR rocks...almost as much as NIN

Posted by bantamboy 3 years ago

...because my young, musically blossoming self needs to experience the amazingness of a NIN concert, before another 9 years passes when who nows what the hell they'll be doing.

Posted by charlottie21 3 years ago

I need these tix because I'm spending all my money on ticket/travelling to Homegrown!!
