I'd also like to suggest the Dave and Busters in Chicago as a fan meet-up location. I have no idea how close or far away it is from the venue but I just love D&B since they're one of the few places you can find anymore with a really nice-sized Arcade.

My friend is on vacation right now in Europe and asked me if I could order a ticket for him too. I was already planning on getting two, one for myself and another friend. If I have two computers running on the same wifi service in my house will I get booted from the ticketing service? I would be using my account on one computer and my Euro-friend's account on the other. I'm NOT trying to hog tickets, I'm just wondering if it's possible to score a ticket for my friend this way. I'm kind of nervous to try it and may just try walking another person through the process.. Has anybody tried this before? One internet connection or one credit card for multiple purchases shouldn't be a problem, though I know of people who say to use a different account on each computer just to be safe. I don't know firsthand if that's really a limiting factor or not, though, because I've never dealt with this presale successfully either-- went to Lolla '08, then was busy sitting an exam during Charter One's presale.

My misunderstanding If you're using two different accounts you shouldn't have any problem with NIN.com or anything like that. Just make sure your internet service is good, that's the only foreseeable problem with setting up two time factor things at once.

Through all of that turmoil of an overcrowded server I actually scored two tickets to the Friday show. On top of that, another one of my friends procured a pair. There are four of us. We're all coming from MN. I'm soooo happy!

smashitrebuildit member Joined: 03/02/08 Location: Buffalo New York Posts: 109	i got 2 tickets for 8.28! this will be my ninth and final nin show. i have to say the ticketing systems haven't changed very much. although i enjoy having a more specific place to go as opposed to ticketmaster. the reason is because the more specific place is slightly more confusing. if you're ocd like i can be when i want something you'll leave links to the main ticketing screen that you remember from other pre-sales, and do the same shit at the same time you're used to from before. this is not a matter of waiting in line. there is no line its the internet. this is based on luck ( 1%) and knowing what you're doing when you need to do it (thats 99%). thats the reason why people don't get tickets. i got onto my computer at 5:45 and was slightly worried when the site was crashed but i mean shit, how many NIN fans were fighting over like 500-1000 tickets for 11-12 shows? you have to expect it. i'm sorry to all that didn't get tickets. i'm not trying to be an asshole its more of a KLF - this is how i did it type thing. and believe me the 1% that makes up luck is what i base my life around.

As for the tickets, if I knew it was gonna be the way it was. With a waiting room etc, I would have logged in when I got to work in the morning and stayed there.

squarebracket member Joined: 01/18/08 Location: Montreal Posts: 17	Living in Montreal, I wanted to get tickets for an NYC show, especially cuz I could easily find a floor to crash on. Long story short, I ended up not getting one, but I got one for Chicago. Anyone willing to put me up for a night? All I need is some floor space, really. Thanks in advance!

With a waiting room etc, I would have logged in when I got to work in the morning and stayed there. (crossposted) First twitter, then nin.com (and our accounts suddenly "disabled"... The timing of it all. I was thinking 2 things: 1) A planned reaction to the same people getting tickets all the time and 2) A game -- like only folks who were smart enough to beat the system got in. Who knows? Does anybody else feel taunted by the phrase "check back later as availability is subject to change?" He's done that before, you know -- made more tickets available. That's either my faith in Trent as a human being kicking in, or denial. Oh well... There's always hope.

maglick member Joined: 03/17/09 Posts: 1	Got to the page where I had to select the number of tix that I wanted and I chose "2". Message informed me that 2 tix were not available. So I kept submitting the form over and over again selecting "2" each time. Finally after doing this about 20 times I was finally able to get 2 tickets for the Friday show!!!!!!!!! Coming from Columbus Ohio
