I'm going to Bowery, and I'll be tweeting and twitpic'g like mad. So if you want to follow me on twitter, the username is the same as it is one here

So.......who's pissed that THIS wasn't even mentioned here?



Oh, yeah, they're all sold out. Again.

WTF NIN?? Have you just completely ceased to care? Only mention this on Twitter?? The place you all but disconnected from? Nice.
As a 20 year fiercely loyal fan, all I can say is it breaks my heart how little you seem to care about the fans at the end.

Fuck the scalpers, what about the fans? How many people only signed up to Twitter because Trent did, and then didn't go back because he left it? Besides, how is Twitter any more 'spontaneous' than an official announcement on an official webpage on the internet? It's not like that wouldn't be instantaneous. I would think most of NIN's fans would be looking here for announcements of such import. Besides, I'm pretty sure the scalpers are aware of Twitter, so I don't see how that would have made any difference there.

Sweet Jeebus!!!! These freakin' posts are gonna start again?
I'd say holding back tickets from EVERYONE & releasing them when Trent saw fit is about as good as it gets!!
Did you expect a personal phone call from him asking if you've gotten tickets yet, so he would be allowed to release these tickets to everyone else?
You must have really bad timing, or don't read the right threads, cuz it was posted on numerous threads.

It never fails. No matter what you try to do different from the rest of the musical world for the benefit of your fans still isn't good enough for some whiny morons.
NIN doesn't care anymore? That's why the tiniest venues WERE EXCLUSIVE TO NIN.com MEMBERS ONLY TO PURCHASE! Where do you come up with this crap?
One last thing:

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
For someone older than 20, you sure sound like a whiny little child!
Go burn all your albums, make a Trent voodoo doll, and go whine somewhere where someone actually wants to read this crap.....

First off, I didn't even want tickets for that show, and my complaint has nothing at all to do with WHEN the tickets were released. It has to do with NOT making an announcement of new tickets being released on the official NIN front page, but on a website which there was a giant, over publicized exodus from by TR a couple of months back, likely resulting in a large amount of fans not checking there for updates.
Secondly, I am merely expressing my disappointment with that choice, I'm sorry that my disappointment affects you so much. It shouldn't. You don't even know me.
Thanks for the insults though, I appreciate the personal attacks due to an expression of opinion.

Fair enough, some people may have left twitter because TR did. But NIN as an entity has continued to use twitter and just cause TR was sick of stupid bullshit associated with personal posts on twitter, doesn't mean he still doesn't appreciate that it is the quickest way to get to people. If you are at work, you may not be able to go to nin.com every 5 minutes, but may have access to twitter on your cell phone.

The other point I will make is that the initial presale was announced on nin.com. These tickets were a surprise, a bonus. There were probably not enough for it to matter, but a good way to test an alternate means of reaching the fans and letting them know about tickets.

I wouldn't have been surprised if they hadn't used facebook to relay the message. Just because nin.com is the home of nin, doesn't mean it is the be all end all. The NIN facebook page is the official facebook page. The nin twitter is the official nin account. It is all official. Hell, ETS kept the nin fans communicating before these boards and the spiral, back when nin.com was a placeholder in between albums... Maybe a ticket announcement should have been made there?

What time are you guys planning on lining up for this show?
I'm thinking 4pm...

if you realllllllly consider yourself a die hard nin fan you would have sms updates of the ninofficial twitter sent to you phone, which i have, but i already have tix to this show anyway so it didn't matter, will be live tweeting the set list as i've mentioned in this thread before and i did for some NIN/JA shows, www.twitter.com/gorny540

hello, a dear friend of mine went to ney york all the way from italy to attend this show... but unluckily the guy who had a ticket for her put at the last moment a few zeros the price of it so... if there's an extra ticket for a reasonable price i'd love to inform my friend she's not done all this journey for nothing. anyway, she'll be in front of the venue too... had to try anyway. cheers!

I am praying I get into this gig..
Flying in on Friday night!!!!!!

So stressed about it

I am sure someone will be trying to sell tickets at the door
I have friends who have waited outside Bowery for Depeche Mode and Morrissey before and got tickets at face value from people who got them for free (media) and did not want to go in
It is always an option

does anyone know what the rules are with respect to bringing cameras into the venue? i'm not talking about a point-n-shoot. i want to bring my digital SLR with me.

i was pissed when i had 3rd row seats for the NINJA shows and there was a guy in front of me with a digital SLR snapping away through most of the show and an array of people with video cams in front of him.

if i'd known, i would have brought mine with me!

Up until about fifteen minutes ago, I thought I had a ticket for this show...

Good luck with that I for one would advise against this as you don't want to piss off the club or its staff and possibly have the cops come.

I would warn anyone thinking of lining up hours before the show this is NYC and the clubs will prolly ask you to leave as NYC has lots of foot traffic they will not tolerate this you will most likely be warned once then escorted away by the NYPD.

These are club shows people less then 1000 people going they are not arena shows 10k + people.

Find something to do and show up within an hour or two of the doors opening and you will be fine.

I've been to dozens of shows in NYC and never had a problem, we're playing it by ear but certainly not getting there at 6pm for one of the smallest venues on the final tour, yikes! Just saw the Vamps in NYC and the line wrapped around the building all day long with no complaints so I doubt the Bowery situation will be any different.
