So who all got in and (more importantly) HOW?!?

And am I the only one who suspects the clusterfuck was intentional?

Think about it...

Tell me how it could of been intentional? I don't see it.

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.

Agreed, I am not sure how or WHY it would be intentional. Look, I am just as bummed out tonite as everyone else that didnt get pre-sale tix, but I don't believe Trent would "intentionally" screw his fans. Was it a poorly designed plan? Yes, but I feel that falls on the server and the company they/he used to sell them. Plus, as stated before, in all there were probably half a million or more NIN fans all trying for tix at once!
so YES, this sux, but....I don't feel it was intentional.

I was angry and bummed at first...pages not loading up...kept getting error message that my password was incorrect...and many more issues...

I wanted to hate MT and others...but then I realized that it is what it is...so be it...yeah, I am disappointed that I will not be able to catch these shows and see some good friends, but oh well. Life goes on.

Congrats to those who got tix. I may try Ticketmaster but not gonna hold my breath.

Excelsior!

Got presale for both, see you all there! smiling smiley

 

07/17/09 7:42 PM

Does anyone have an extra ticket? I am trying to find one for my friend. He couldn't log on and by the time he got a hold of me it was sold out. It would mean so much.

 

07/17/09 7:43 PM

Got tickets, thank God. I think the only way I was able to buy anything was because I logged into the site last night and stayed signed in... (Paranoia and anxiety FTW.) I've never been so grateful in my life.

Good luck to everyone trying for the general sale. As much as Ticketmaster sucks, at least their site can handle short bursts of intense server traffic without crashing.

 

07/17/09 7:45 PM

Count me amongst the people willing to pay face value for any extra pre sale ticket to this show-although I'm not sure I'll have enough to cover the whole price until next Thursday. I probably have enough for a down payment, though.

I'll probably just end up waiting for the Ticketmaster sale on the 31st, though.

No dice for me either. Couldn't get signed in on time on my hotel internet, and my friend who was also trying for 2 tickets for us only got as far as "in line". The 5/29 pre-sale was painless, I expected this to be worse but goddamn.

I'm expecting more of the same crap on the 31st, so I'm already seeking other options. I've never had much luck with ticketmaster for one reason or another and I foresee more bad luck.

Out of curiosity last night I went on StubHub to see if tickets were available/how much they were going for. The cheapest ones were $265 a pop but I checked again and now they're all gone. My question is did anyone pick any of those tickets up or were they maybe taken down because they were fakes (going on sale before the pre-sale sounds kinda sketch to me)? I'm just curious where all those listings went.

Also feel free to to PM me if you have an extra pre-sale ticket for whatever reason. Either day is fine.

 

07/17/09 8:23 PM

I got fucked by the crash and I know that everybody is asking for presale tickets and Im going to join them in the cause. If anyone has any please pm me

 

07/17/09 10:03 PM

got 2. i didnt even try for saturdays, though

i hope they make new shirts for this little run of shows

i logged in at like 430 to check out the new york tickets and see how fast they would sell out and everything and just stayed on until 500 (which i didnt find out till today was 600 my time, god i m a dumbass). i had the nin portals thing open in another window but that thing sucked balls

are the chicago ones the only ones that are all ages? cause i m 17 and noticed most were 18+

If anyone has an extra ticket and is willing to take me I will gladly reimburse you. I can Paypal you the money, send you a check, pay you in cash in person, etc.; whatever works for you. PM me please!

 

07/17/09 11:19 PM

NIN makes me do crazy things so, since I couldn't get Chicago I made the decision to go to LA. I might try for the public sale too, we'll see.

 

07/17/09 10:57 PM

So she_shines92, Killaya, and I are going to both, we somehow managed to pull it off. smiling smiley

 

07/18/09 2:01 AM

Just thought I'd be one of the million people desperately looking for a ticket. Either show is fine. Server crash killed me! Fan of nin since the Broken Era. Would love to go to the last show!

Thanks.

A couple of us Brits managed to get tix for one show, unfortunately on different nights lol, but wondering if anyone can recommend places to stay in Chicago, that is 'safe' but not too far away from the venue etc.

Commiserations to those who didn't succeed. I think we only did cos we went into New York presales and thus could log into music today site and sit there waiting for the Chicago shows.

 

07/18/09 7:58 AM

My friend and I will be flying in from NY!

 

07/18/09 8:30 AM

i'll be there with my husband on Saturday. soo excited!

 

07/18/09 8:57 AM

Totally fucked out of tickets. I have a super fast pc and connection,was logged in early by about 15 minutes, was trying to purchase at exactly the right time, and should have gotten them. FUCKING BULLSHIT!!!!!!! So much for going to my last NIN show. I would say congrats to those "lucky" fans that are somehow better than me and got tickets magically when I was denied, but frankly I'm so upset I hope you all have a shitty time. SO THERE! And to the people that felt the need to buy tickets for this show when they don't even live in the area (namely N.Y. or the fucking U.K.- you had your own shows to bog down the server on didn't you?) thanks for ruining my chances to see my favorite band one last time!!


FUCKS!!!!!!

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

Did the same fucking thing to no avail. I feel like dying.....I wanted this so bad.

Well that's not very nice!

There's still public sale you know!

 

07/18/09 9:55 AM

I know there is and my animosity certainly is not pointed at you so I do apologize (the Irish should stick together lol), but I'm fuming mad and didn't want an ordinary Ticketbastard ticket, ya know? and then there are people like this:

[cgi.ebay.com]|66%3A2|39%3A1|72%3A1205|293%3A1|294%3A50


Sorry if I went off the deep end.
I may still try to get regular tickets. (sigh)

Yes, the ebay thing is ridiculous. People just need to educate themselves on that situation, if everyone ignored it then people wouldn't want to scalp in the first place.

At least if you get regular tickets you don't have to wait in the presale line on the day smiling smiley peace and good luck

 

07/18/09 10:09 AM

I like waiting in line with my fellow NINers, but thank you and enjoy the show smiling smiley

 

07/18/09 11:20 AM

was on since early morning and at 5 was able to get to the order page, got an error each time i tried to enter the verification code until it kicked me off...totally devastated and can only hope i don't get screwed out of the public sale as well... sad smiley
