“The Oakland show was my first time going to a concert alone, and I took public transportation there from San Jose. I was so scared but immediately felt better when I met really cool fans on BART, in the line, and even at my seats. I ended up right next to one of my ninblr mutuals and it was so fun that I forgot about being scared. That’s what NIN does for me. I’m so inspired by both Reznor and Ross to turn fear into fun and passion. NIN forever ❤️.”

"Went to the first show in the US with a group of friends in the nosebleeds, went to the last show in the US (in 2025) by myself in the pit. I drove 500 miles to that one, and was almost washed away in a flash flood in the Mojave Desert on my way. Got stuck in between two washed out areas of the highway for hours after just barely getting through a few feet of water. But was richly rewarded with a spot on the B stage rail, gifted a pick by tour crew, and then got a spot on the A stage rail for the last 3 songs. It was everything I'd hoped for when I bought my pit ticket to be close to the band."

"Oakland was my first time. Can’t wait for Sacramento. I have been listening to Nine Inch Nails since I was in high school. At that time, I only listen to a few songs. There was a time when I fell away from music and once I reached my 30s I fell back in love and in particular with Nine Inch Nails, which has been a slow build for me and has been my number one listen to artist for five years running. I’ve been going through a lot of shit and I like many people resonate with Trent’s work. It meant so much to me to finally see Nine Inch Nails because growing up I was not really allowed to go to shows nor did I really have the money or the capabilities to travel to go to shows since nobody really comes to my town. Nine Inch Nails did come when I was in high school and I was banned from going by my religious parents. This show meant so much to me that I brought my now husband, my ex-boyfriend and my cousin with me to experience the show together and none of us aside from my husband had seen Nine Inch Nails before. I think this was one of the most memorable experiences of my entire life, and I cannot wait to experience it again. I think every one of us laughed, cried, and raged through that whole show. For the Oakland show, I made bracelets with different song titles on them and pass them out. I even was able to exchange fan merge with other audience members. For the Sacramento show I’ll be doing the same and hopefully this time now that I will be in the pit I’ll get a close experience."

"My inner teenager felt so vindicated. She’s always like 'I told you they’re the best, mom. I told you it wasn’t a phase.' And there were like three generations of fans all there together—Whole families seeing the show together, all bringing their angst and their love and their joy out to dance and sing along.
