And now it's too late. I never had the opportunity to meet Trent even once, and NIN will be over as of the end of this tour. I'm totally disappointed with the nin.com community...
Im sorry you didnt have any luck but several people did. Ive even read at least one article where a guy bought the $300 package and gave away his guess pass to someone just waiting at the venue. The fact that things like that happen (let alone the fact that the NIN community has raised several hundreds of thousands of dollars to help save someones life, which what this is all really about anyways) proves to me that the nin community is far from selfish. The only reason no more US meet up donations are even being taken is because the demand was too huge-- which is an amazing thing.
I am a little disappointed in you though. This is about something greater than did you get to meet Trent or not. You had your chance like everyone else, but because you couldnt find anyone, youre condeming an entire community of people... pretty selfish.
I hope that others realize that most of the people that did a donation package probably already had someone in mind when they picked it up. Going to a show is always funner when you go with a friend, so theres probably not alot of people that want to do something like this for just one ticket. The pool is even smaller when youre talking about just one show. That kind of turns it into one of those things where its worth trying for if you cant afford a full donation on your own, but you cant possibly be mad at everyone on nin.com just because you couldnt find that one other person that wants to go to the same show as you but doesnt have a friend to go with.
