I've never been to Terminal 5, so I checked out this venue on street view for a place to pee while waiting on line...is this the only part of the city without a starbucks? I thought for sure there had to be one on every corner or the universe collapses.

Arrgh. As my luck would have it, the power cord on my laptop died two nights ago. Laptop battery has been drained and thus couldn't be used. It's good to go now, but of course as far as I can tell the general public sale has sold out. (Even though the ticketmaster site says it doesn't start until 5pm?Guess their little presale ate them all up?) Anyhow, on the extremely small chance anyone has a ticket or two they wish to sell-please PM me. One would be good, two would be fantastic. Thanks for reading.

I'll post this in all four NY show threads in hopes of a taker:

I completely missed out on the sale for the NY shows. I live in Weehawken, NJ, first bus stop through the lincoln tunnel. I can offer my guest bedroom FREE to anyone who can sell me a ticket to ANY of the four NY shows for face+fees or slightly above for your trouble. You can stay for a while if you are going to multiple shows, I don't mind at all. This would save you A LOT of money on hotels.

Please PM me or contact me at immaculatefix@gmail.com.

Thank you.

No starbucks directly over there, but there is a dunkin donuts on 10th and 55th (the venue is on 56th bet 10th and 11th) so basically just a block over, i can't think of anything else over there but I'll be in that neighborhood on tuesday, so i'll check out the options

As a newbie to general admission shows. ( I will be atteding by myself) Are people generally cool with you leaving the line to urinate? Or will I be bribing people with pizza and doughnuts?

BTW, how early do you think we need to be here to get on the rail for this show?

I'm looking for one ticket for the Terminal 5 show on the 25th.

Initially bought 2 tickets, one for me and my ex, but I need a third for her father.

He's a huge NIN fan, but he's never had the opportunity to see them live. Trying to help him to get to a show before they pack it away.

Email me at monsieur.sploosh[at]gmail.com if you can help. Thanks!

People can read your posts without the giant text thank you very much

 

07/31/09 3:45 PM

It does not appear that a plethora of available tickets are going to emerge, however if such an event were to occur, I'd be greatly appreciative of anyone willing to sell one ticket. the6nightmares@hotmail.com help a fellow fan out...

 

07/31/09 4:03 PM

I currently have 2 extra tickets that aren't 100% spoken for yet.. I got 4 all together and as long as me and my friend get to go, I don't really care who gets the other 2 from me.

 

07/31/09 4:07 PM

So just to vent, I signed on to ticketmaster at 5:00pm and 01 sec on the day of the presale for this show and the 26th. Denied, SOLD OUT. Fine, Ill try the general public sale. Again 5:00 pm and 01 sec. SOLD OUT. Then out of a masochistic morbid curiosity, I check ebay. Apparently some people got tickets, and now so can you for $300. What about this paperless BS to make sure tickets go to fans and not greasy scalpers. The system is broken my friend. I'll be the guy standing outside the venue with my arms raised in a V screaming "WHY, GOD? WHY?" I feel no better having slung this frustration onto the interweb, but maybe you can feel better commiserating with me.

Ok, so not being from NYC, anyone have any recommendations for a hotel that's close to the venue and not expensive? Also, anyone planning on doing anything after the show?

 

07/31/09 4:45 PM

I have a spare +1 for this show (8/25), looking to trade it with someone who has a spare +1 to the 8/26 show. PM me.

Additionally, my other +2 for the 8/25 show just told me that they probably won't be able to make it. Best offer gets both tickets. PM me.

 

07/31/09 5:05 PM

Whoa.. so my inbox got flooded pretty quick there. There is just a possibility that I'll have a couple to let go. I'll keep everyone posted.

BTW.. I need a place to stay near Term5 since I'm comin up from DE. I'm just gonna chill up there from Tuesday-Thurs night. Anyone know a good hotel?

yeah I felt the same way.. WTF? this pissed me off. I refuse to buy from a scalper. If anyone has 2 extra tickets for this show willing to sell at face value pls PM me. I have not yet seen NIN yet for this part of the tour and would like very much to go.
Thank you

Wow, I feel the same way! This has been a very souring experience! I have tried to buy tickets through the NIN presale, the ticketmaster pre-sale, and then the not really a sale ticketmaster sale! This is ridiculous! I have never had this problem. However, there is one ticket site that has over 30 seperate tickets for sale, ebay has 55 listings for tickets in NY. There are 5 pages of ticket brokers with NIN tickets for sale. I thought the ticketless sale was supposed to prevent this?!? I think this is just going to make entry annoying for thousands of real fans who had to shell out $300-$700. I think I need to become a ticket broker......

Yeah I don't get it, if you were to buy a ticket from a ticket broker or scalper or ebay etc, how do you get in with this new system?

Anyway I'd like to go see them one last time with my girlfriend who hasn't seen them. So If anyone has two tickets they want to sell for the list price let me know! We can have lunch or something that day lol idk

 

08/01/09 9:20 AM

The fuck is, it seems these broker, scalper or whoever make their big business with it. They offer up to 3 tickets on ebay and meet you a short time before the show. If you bought one ticket perhaps there will be two other freaks like you and the broker or seller shows his credit card and you are in. That's they way they seem to work. I asked someone on ebay who offers some tickets, cause I couldn't imagine how it works, too.

AND: It's annoying, quite disappointing.
Hopefully NIN does really something against these assholes! It's such an injustice I could destroy something, but in fact it wouldn't change anything.


Ticketmaster is a dead loss!

someone was mentioning doing something before and after the show but probably after the show seeing as most of us will be in line hours maybe even days before.

Wait what? Days???

I mean I can see being in line hours ahead of time if you're really really into getting that rail spot. Personally I'll be on a train that doesn't arrive in Penn Station until 3:30PM the day of.

Speaking of which, anyone have a couch I can crash on instead, or know of any Hostels in the area where my shit won't get stolen? A quick google search looks like Hotels are running $100+ a night which I'm not sure I can stomache.


EDIT: fixed quote.

I'm not one to usually advocate violence but...

I think we should all buy these ridiculously priced tickets from the scalpers and then arrive at the show and beat their asses and rob them when they go to "walk us in." I'm just sayin'...it might make them think twice about scalping in the future.
