→NIN/JA 2009
NIN played without Jane's Addiction at the Chicago and Bonnaroo shows.
===Free Passes===
On Twitter, Trent Reznor unexpectedly announced that there would be occasional ticket giveaways for all NIN/JA shows, including a backstage pass. Those interested were directed to go to a specific site (a randomised link from ninja2009.com), and 5 tickets were awarded at a time to whoever entered at the right moment.
A different series of backstage passes, with a meal with the band, were announced to coincide with a charity case for [http://weloveeric.com/ Eric De La Cruz], where NIN fans could pledge $1200/$1000 for the cause, with the larger amount for those who did not already have a ticket. This would give them a meal with the band, watch the soundcheck and talk to the band. There was also a $300 option, for a meet and greet prior to the show, or a general $10 donation, simply to support the man.[http://store.nin.com/helperic/]
A Letter from Trent:
This is for something important. Eric De La Cruz is dying and needs a heart transplant. He keeps getting turned down for a transplant
list because he's on Nevada Medicaid, and there are no transplant centers in Nevada. We want to get involved and hopefully so do you,
so we're extending a hand. His sister Veronica (former Anchor and Internet Correspondent for CNN) has started a campaign to save his
life.
Eric's situation shines a bright light on a broken health care system, and his particular set of problems are being addressed on the
political front, aiming for reform in addition to the need for immediate financial help to keep him alive TODAY. I think we
can help with the latter.
Here's what we're offering - three options:
If you have a ticket to a NIN/JA show: if you donate $1,000 to this cause, we'll invite you to come hang out with us before the
NIN/JA show of your choice. You and a guest can watch soundcheck, eat dinner backstage with us, take pics / get autographs and
watch the show from the side of the stage if you'd like.
If you donate $300, you and a friend can join us for soundcheck and a handshaking / hug session before doors open at the
NIN/JA show of your choice.
If you do NOT have a ticket to a NIN/JA show: if you donate $1,200 to this cause, we'll invite you to come hang out with us
before the NIN/JA show of your choice and provide 2 tickets (best available). You and a guest can watch soundcheck, eat
dinner backstage with us, take pics / get autographs and watch the show from the side of the stage if you'd like.
100% of the money collected from this will go directly to Eric's fund.
I hope you'll consider helping out with this.
Sincerely, Trent Reznor
