SoFarGone: Yeah man, I was really bummed they were not able to make the date in MN this past tour. I am still curious if Helga was local, that was the first time seeing a monster like him/her all oiled up! Pretty scary.

Long shot, but here it goes: Looking for 2-3 tickets for this show. Will trade MINT Ghost I-IV Ultra-Deluxe Limited Edition. Anyone?!? I will be coming down from MPLS.

I am really interested in the ghost ultra deluxe, I have one extra ticket and am trying to find more. I'll let u know if I come up with anything

Hey man, tried to send you a PM (not working). Anyway, I will defenatly let it go for two. I have a friend who would come down from MI. I just want to make sure I do have his ticket covered. The set has been kept in the box in which it was shipped. I was lucky enough to get two. Keep me posted.

im curious what time you guys plan on showing up? i used to be able to pull that all day waiting, but i just cant anymore. ill prob shoot for like 4ish? i got presale, but i guess it was all presale, or am i wrong? in the confirmation email it says **YOU WILL RECEIVE FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING THE SPECIAL ENTRANCE**, which i guess everyone will recieve this because it was all presale ticketing? cant wait...

NIN.com presale tickets will prob have a seperate line that gets to enter before the rest. ticketmaster/other presales like me will have to wait in line and cry as a few hundred get let in b4 them.
Like I said before, I am sure if I had one of those tix I would be happy but I am gonna be damn bitter watching them walk in after I have been waiting in line for 10 hours. Good for u guys who got them tho... may have to try to make some deals with someone in that line to get my merch for me before it sells out

I also just got tickets to both shows on ticketmaster thanks to culero. Thank you!

I'm nearly positive that Helga was one of us; he/she/it was not there at any of their other shows. A buddy and I went to Lollapalooza a couple weeks back just to see Tool since they weren't going to be coming to MN, and it was a fucking blast.

Just bought 2 on TM for Friday show! Now going to both. Hells yes.

ya that tool show was pretty dope, wish they woulda played some older songs tho, and not recycle the same setlist from two years ago. I had a vip ticket that day, and it was the shit, atmosphere's set was on fire too...

Yeah, Atmosphere tore it up. I've seen them at home here in Minneapolis (they're from Mpls), but it was definitely something else seeing them in somebody else's backyard working their magic.

As far as Tool's setlist, I wish I knew why in the fuck they've been playing the same show (+-1 or 2 songs) for the last 2 years. Perhaps they've been filming for a DVD???

woot just got a ticketmaster ticket, now im going both days...

was wondering if anyone is coming from the burbs (lombard,wheaton,naperville area) and might be able to give me a ride home after the show, should have some nice headies...

Hey man, Was wondering if you could pick me up an extra ticket since you only bought one?? i still need another for this show.

I'll be sitting in line with an extra ticket, as I'm sure many others will. Show up early.

Can I buy yours? I'll also buy you a beer or three?

As for a tool dvd? They had mentioned something about one during the Lateralus tour, so I wouldn't bet on anything coming out.

Anyone fromt out of town staying at the Hilton Suites Chicago-Magnificent Mile? I may be staying there w/ a buddy.

Still looking to trade on ticketmaster paperless ticket for a ride from mid Indiana. My car situation has taken a turn for the worst, my friend can't make it and now nobody i know can take off from work. The ticket would be free in return for the ride there and back and i would help with gas.

PM if interested.

I have a proposition for anyone who's interested!

I have one ticket available for Friday. However, I'm also out a ride up into Chicago (from KANSAS) and back, as well as a place to stay. I am willing to part with this ticket FOR FREE (and pay for the extra gas) if anyone coming from the South-central region and staying for both Chicago shows is willing to come and give me a ride up there, a ride back, and a place to stay. I'm not a crazy, I'm pretty good company, and I'd love to meet more fans from the NIN community! Things just happened at a bad time, and now I'm left with 400 bucks, a spare ticket, and no way to get there and back without a credit card.

PLEASE PM me if anyone thinks they'd be willing to help. Like I said, in exchange for your help, I have a free ticket to Friday night's show with your name on it, gas money, and possibly my Wave Goodbye messenger bag...Sorry that this is so last minute, and thank you in advance!

Bryan,
As far as merchandise, it depends on the vendor for that show. The majority of shows, credit cards are welcome. There is an ATM in the building also. A small poster tube will be ok and will just have to be checked as empty at entry.

The capacity of the Aragon is approx. 4900 patrons.

Hope this helps,

Enjoy the shows!

Dave"

Fantastic. Good work man.

Are we all fucking crazy people or what?

So thinking about getting in the NIN presale line early. What time you think will work out to strike that perfect balance?

Heading up from the Indy area either Thurs PM (staying with a friend) or Friday AM. Got tix for both shows, so heading back Saturday PM (badass tix for the GP motorcycle race on Sunday). If anybody needs a ride, PM me.

Got tix for both Chicago shows and the last two LA shows. Went to Bonnaroo and saw what I thought was the last ever US NIN show from one off the rail. Thought hard about going to Thailand to see what was supposed to be the last ever NIN show -- damn glad I didn't act on that, would have been fucked sideways and inside out, huh?

Been making NIN friends all over the place this tour, it has been great. Hate to see it come to an end. What the fuck comes next?

Thanks for the info, now can you get the fuckers to let my camera in?

Anyone else staying at the Holiday Inn near O'hare? My friend got a wild hair to come to Chicago and is letting me stay with him. I would love to see if any other NIN fans will be there, especially if they would like to go to Neo after the show.
