For the $300 level you get to watch soundcheck for both NIN and SSSC.
Meet the Band. Handshakes, pics, autographs and a few minutes 1 on 1.
Dave came out and said "Hi" as well, which was cool.
On the -who got to stay- problem.
We got there early to secure our pit tickets and spots but had to wait until 4:00 for soundcheck. You have to pick up your tickets seperately.
So even after getting there early we couldn't get in the regular presale lineup.
We got to stay after soundcheck. I don't see the problem with that. There were maybe 15-20 of us. Still a lot of room left on the rail and just behind us. We couldn't be in both lines. So is it fair for the charity people to have to go to the back of the presale line?
Yeah, sorry about the distraction there.
As far as the rail is concerned, I understand both sides of the arguement. I was on the rail for 7 of the fragile shows and I can tell you that I would have been steaming after waiting all day in the hot sun only to have someone walk in a get a spot ahead of me. There is a BIG difference between being on the rail and being behind the person on the rail.
I have to be honest, I think the people who waited all day for the rail should still get first dibbs. The people with the $1000 VIP package have other options (side of stage/sound board) so there is no reason they should get priority. The $300 people with PIT tickets should be able to reserve thier place in line and return to it once soundcheck meet/greet is completed. (I would imagine it would be fairly simple to do if numbers were handed out)
That said, the people the that went all apeshit to TR about it, I agree with him in saying FUCK YOU. It baffles me that people are so selfish that they can't see that the world does not revolve around them.
