hahninator Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 The NYC Nokia Theater website has posted info on the record release show on September 14 for "A Thousand Suns" here. The show will be at the Best Buy Theater (formerly the Nokia Theater) in New York on 9/14. Date: Tue, Sep 14, 2010 Showtime: 9:00 PM Doors open: 7:00 PM Days until show: 24 Ages: 16 & Over Ticket Prices: $50.00 (plus convenience charges) Event Details: For all info on this show and to purchase tickets please visit: www.linkinpark.com It says tickets are on sale, but they really aren't. Current LPU members and those that preordered LPUX will receive information on the presale on 8/22 (tomorrow) via email for the presale that starts on 8/23 (Monday). The LPUX preorderers and the LPU members get the first shot at presales followed by those that preordered "A Thousand Suns" on LinkinPark.com. Mike and Dave just said yesterday that they will be playing a shorter setlist live this year (South America and Europe included). What do you think about the price of the show? How about you European fans? Aren't tickets more expensive this year than they have been in the past? For a shorter show? How do you feel about this? See the 2010 tour page for all 2010 Linkin Park tour dates.
Teagan Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 I don't know, maybe I remember wrong, but I think they said they going to play a longer setlist, not a shorter one. At least thats what I heard, maybe I got them wrong, but it sounded like, that at first, they would only have one setlist, but a longer one. They wouldn't be sure yet, but thats what they would plan.
lp12311 Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Damn LP needs to play longer, not shorter. Bruce Springsteen is over 60 and he still plays for 3 hours lol.
dkrebel Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 I thought i saw tickets for 60 euros.. Thats pretty much for a concert if you ask me. Add the merch to it that you wanne buy and you will spend something like 150/200 euros.. I hope the tickets wont rise that high like U2 tickets. When my brother and i bought tickets for U2 we had to pay 90 euro for 1 ticket.. Sick!
danielpsoad-09 Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Well, at least here in Chile, the band is confirmed to be playing from 21:30 PM to 23:00 PM, which the typical LP set (1 hour and a half). I'm happy with that.

DecanoLP Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 I am so disappointed... I paid circa 140 (!!) euros for two shows and they'll play probably 18 songs...? Without any crowd interaction as we are used to it? So we have a 80 minutes show and paid 70€ for this? Really disappointed... I was hoping for something really special since the band hyped these shows so much in the past but this is a real disappointment.
Ashwhisker Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Shorter setlist? It better not be a lot shorter.
Teagan Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 again, I think, this is a mistake. Mike was talking about LONGER setlists, not shorter.

Xero21 Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Wait what? I thought they said they were thinking about lengthening the setlist.

castro78 Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Shorter set lists make no sense at all. they now have more material than they have ever had before, why play a shorter set? If this is true, I'm sure it will only be for these promo shows.
DecanoLP Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 I read here somewhere they were talking about extending the setlist for the next run of the touring cycle (with this poll etc.)...

Oh, well in that case great. Let 2010 be the almost ATS exclusive setlist, find out which songs work and which don't, then come back in 2011 and kick some major ass.

I think they were talking about this year.
hahninator Posted August 21, 2010 Author Posted August 21, 2010 Hangon I'll find the link in one of these threads
Ashwhisker Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 (edited) I read that too, this is a little confusing. Edited August 21, 2010 by Ash
hahninator Posted August 21, 2010 Author Posted August 21, 2010 http://lplive.net/forum/index.php?showtopi...ost&p=92612 "Concerning the live shows: He said that for the first few tours (like Europe and South America) they'll only do one shorter setlist because they have to get used to play live again but after that, they'll do the longer setlistS, including a poll where the fans can chose one song that the band will play. Pretty badass. By the way, when I asked him about the 2004 Figure.09/From The Inside transition and if they could play that again when they play F.09 he didn't even know what I was talking about LOL. " I'll edit the main post for clarification now.
LPPRJKT4 Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Dude wth, like I could understand NY being a bit shorter, but otherwise that really makes no sense! with 4 albums you'd think they'd lengthen it, even if just for 2010.
DecanoLP Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 (edited) It was this post /edit: Damn, Mark beat me Edited August 21, 2010 by DecanoLP
Teagan Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 I would really question this. I didn't hear anything like that.
hahninator Posted August 21, 2010 Author Posted August 21, 2010 I'm making the point of one shorter setlist versus ticket prices rising. That's what the point of the end of the main post was lol.
luki9875 Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 oh well.... i guess thats fair enough... no concert for lp for over a year now so i guess its ok... i just hope it will be -2/3 songs and NOT more.
