In celebration of NIGHTWISH returning for its final U.S. tour in support of the band's latest album, "Dark Passion Play", Live Nation is offering the following special: for the Wiltern show in Los Angeles on September 13, starting on Thursday, August 28 and ending on Sunday, August 31, all tickets for the show will be $10. This special is limited to 500 tickets only. Tickets will be available through Ticketmaster and EnterTheVault.com.

NIGHTWISH will release a digital-only collection of demos and B-sides titled "The Sound of Nightwish Reborn", available through all digital service providers, on September 2.
