Crowd size grew on second night

The audience wearing black shirts appeared larger on Saturday than it was the previous evening. Fans surrounded the Snake Pit and climbed the steep seating bowl for both performances.

Set lists differ for each show

The band introduced a concept requiring fans to attend two different shows with a day off in between. Night two featured fifteen completely different songs alongside entirely new visuals compared to the first night.

Ticket prices reached high amounts

Resale prices for single-night dates began in the high six hundreds and low seven hundreds range. Some Saturday dates already crossed the one thousand dollar mark while two-night passes started above one thousand one hundred dollars.
