These new episodes of LPTV are incredible. Each one is better than the last. This one is even more special to me because I appear in the Bogotá segment and partially in the São Paulo segment. 😎 This week was amazing! I really hope the quality of LPTV stays consistent next year, despite the large number of shows.

It doesn't make much difference. The HTEP is practically a relic. Nobody buys CDs to listen to music anymore. We buy them to collect. True. In São Paulo, everyone’s attention was on buying the From Zero CD and vinyl that were being sold inside the stadium. I got Early Entry in Bogotá and São Paulo, and I could see the difference in the number of CD Single copies. In São Paulo, there were probably 10 times more compared to Bogotá. A comparison with Los Angeles wouldn’t be fair, as even though I managed to buy mine, I arrived an hour after the gate had opened, and the CDs were almost sold out.

You’re right! It was very unfair to collectors from places where the band didn’t perform. These people basically relied on scalpers to get the CDs. Anyone who buys a CD single is a hardcore fan, so the hype around the song ends up being pretty irrelevant. This case was just an exception because it was sold at shows, so many people who bought it could be considered normal fans. This one makes sense being $100.00. 😅 I really hope the LPU ends up making a new batch of the HTEP to lower the price on eBay, but that probably won’t happen anymore. Maybe it was something decided recently. The CD was very limited at first, and the quantities increased over time. I went to the show at the Kia Forum, and the quantities were extremely limited, with each person allowed to buy only one. In Bogotá, I noticed there were more available, and you could buy as many as you wanted. In São Paulo, the quantities were huge, and they lasted until the end of the shows. I think they realized the demand was high, started producing more, and decided to sell it on the website.

It is definitely a painful defeat for scalpers.

The official Linkin Park website has started selling The Emptiness Machine CD Single for USD 10,00. Previously, the CD was considered a highly collectible item since it could only be purchased at the band's shows and was available in very limited quantities (which gradually increased throughout the tour). Later, it became exclusively available on Amazon Germany. So far, this is the only CD single from From Zero. You can buy it here.

Considering that a video of Two Faced in Brazil has already been released, I believe they will release a video of The Emptiness Machine tomorrow. It would make more sense for Two Faced since it's the latest single, but now they should release one for the most popular song from From Zero.

They probably won't generate new codes. When they sold tickets for the first show in São Paulo, Ticketmaster and LPU said the code could be used for 4 tickets. When they announced the second show in São Paulo, you couldn't reuse your code if you had already purchased four tickets for the first night.

It seems that you can only use your code six times, right? Now, is the limit of the code counted even if you try to purchase tickets for different tours? For example, if I use my code to purchase tickets for shows in North America, will I have fewer uses left for shows in Europe? If so, when will the usage count reset?

Maybe that date will actually end up being the most likely. Now, Lana Del Rey will perform at Wembley just five days after Linkin Park. I don’t know if adding another date and shortening that gap is technically feasible. Still, an extra show in London is definitely not impossible.

Surprised that the band agreed to return to a festival where the audience's reaction wasn't the best. With their current setlist, I don't think they'll face issues. I'd just avoid playing My December or Friendly Fire. Now, looking at the gaps between the European shows, it's unlikely that any new dates will be added, unless it's before the first show in Austria or the last one in France.

We know that at a concert, casual fans make up approximately 90% of the stadium/arena. I don’t think the casual fan gets that upset about a cancellation. They probably don’t even think about it anymore. The ones who truly suffer from a cancellation are the hardcore fans.

Are you going to Seattle or Vancouver? I just haven’t bought the Seattle ticket yet because I’m trying to figure out the documentation needed to return to Canada after the show. Since I’m not a U.S. or Canadian citizen, and I only have a U.S. visa and an entry permit document for Canada, I’m checking whether I can legally return to Vancouver by land or if I’ll need to take a flight.

Thank you! For that reason, your effort is amazing, and the entire LP community owes you gratitude. About the YouTube, that’s bizarre. It must be NRJ itself preventing the uploads. In any case, it’s a curious situation, to say the least.

Thank you!

You're right. Sorry I couldn't find the video on YouTube, only some stories on TikTok. The NRJ Music Awards live stream also seems to no longer be available. I looked for someone sharing a link, but I couldn't find one either. If Wesley or someone else has it, it would be good to try uploading it to YouTube, but I'm not sure if anyone is trying to take down uploads of clips from the live stream.
