After the last time I’m hesitant to order from the nin store. For add violence I waited till I could get it elsewhere. I had such a bullshit hassle with Not the Actual Events and I didn’t feel like repeating it. “Fool me once” and all that…
Vegas will be NIN shows 17, 18, and 19; and Boston will be 20 and 21.
So far:
I went to Dark Side of the Con in NJ.
Chicago, Milwaukee, and Orlando to see Ministry, Chelsea Wolfe, and The God Bombs.
Now 5 NIN shows in June and October.
Voids next tour dates I have to support.
Cold Waves in Chicago in September.
If I could get tickets go to LA in Dec for the four NIN shows there, I would.
Got nothing but love for Reznor. He’s going through an experimental phase, and I think it sounds pretty awesome.
I like this new track, especially the beats. Could do without the sax, but it’ll probably grow on me. This is an odd choice, musically, for a single, which leads me to wonder what the rest of the EP sounds like.

They’re also touring in the fall and you have to go to the venue box office in person to get tickets on the first day of sale.
I think this part is actually pretty rad.
I like that they forced people to go old school on it.
Fuck the ticketbots.[/reply]
This was the only way when I was growing up(same for some others on here,I’m sure)…we would stand in long add lines of people camping out…even though getting them by phone was technically an option, you were still always relegated to being put on hold for so long that by the time you got someone on the line to order,the nest u could do was get some nose bleeds…
And yeah this is a good way to keep the ticketing stub hub vultures from sweeping in…
I went down to the Palladium on Saturday. The line was huge and moved slow. I gave it 2 hours. I don’t even like NIN that much, but my wife does. I talked to a guy that had been waiting for 6 hours. Fuck that noise, my time is worth more than that.
I appreciate the attempt to thwart scalpers, bu making people wait that long is unsustainable. Some people waited 8+ hours only to be told it was sold out.
I’d rather pay a scalper double and not lose my entire Saturday.
ps: There were still plenty of scalpers on hand. We were watching the entries on Stubhub go up while we were waiting. Heh.
Yeah I guess I kinda figured the stubhubbers would find a way hahaha…
And aren’t these all smaller venues on this tour?
The Palladium is smaller than he usually plays here, but he’s doing 4 night there.
Also, the difference between this and our early 90s Ticketmaster experience, is not everybody went to the same damn Ticketmaster back then. This was absurd. You have everybody in LA county go to one spot with 2 windows? What a shitshow.
HAHA!!! I agree with literally everyone on this.
Although I like that they’re doing an old school model for this, y’all are right… no way would I wait in line either.
If I want to go to a show bad enough I’ll just pay for it.
I was kind of having a nostalgia moment.
I have sorta fond memories of getting up at 4 in the morning to go stand in line for Lollapalooza (1991) but . . . if I wasn’t poor and could pay someone else to do the standing for me… yes, please.
