Same problem here, but even more urgent. I didn´t get any email concerning tomorros show in Düsseldorf...and the support didn´t answer me by now. So, anybody got any news, where and when the Meet&Greet will go on?
Thanks

can anybody tell me how the camera policy was/will be at the european soundchecks and meet & greets?

since you could bring a SLR to the US shows anyway, there shouldn't have been a problem, but since the camera policies at the european shows should be as strict as always i would like to know if i could at least bring a SLR cam to the meet & greet. i contacted the heineken music hall but got no reply. i would be pretty bummed if i wasn't allowed to bring it in and i would have no problem with leaving my bag at the wardrobe afterwards during the concert.

cheers,
tom

there's a picture right now in the homepage from the berlin soundcheck... and if you look closer you can find a girl with a slr

Does any one know if the $300 donation entitled 1 or 2 people entrance?

I am growing increasingly frustrated by this all thing, I am now following Eric on Twitter and sometimes I happen to have tears in my eyes for someone I do not even know
Trent first said For all participants ($300, $1,000 and $1,200) and now exchanging mails with the ninsupport team, it seems like all packages have been sold.
Oh well nevermind just wished they had updated the homepage.
Doing something great should not come with a reward as I should feel happy money may save a life, so I am a bit selfish but would have so loved meeting Trent.
Happy day everyone my Lux concert is in 5 days and this is the only thing on my mind.
My thoughts are with Eric and his family, he MUST hold on!

Indeed sad news about Eric. I wish our contributions could have been of more immediate help to have saved him. Let's hope the system changes.

Am replying also in the hope I'd get email notifications of replies to this thread, but not sure whether this forum does that yet.

R.I.P. Eric De LaCruz - I am so glad Trent decided to try and make a difference for this young man in need of some help - Also to show how screwed up our nation's health care system is - I am very happy that I was able to donate, it helped make a difference for him and I was able to experience something that one can only dream about (Meeting Trent) - Finally, I was amazed on how much was raised in such a short period of time - That just shows that there are alot of people out there who care a great deal

This was posted on the donation site when it was up:


Letter from Trent:

Thank you so much for you help with this cause. Due to your generosity, we've raised over $850,000.

This response has been overwhelming - so much so we sadly have to stop accepting any more VIP package donations for the North American NIN/JA shows. We simply can't accommodate any more people! We are still accepting multiples of $10 donations and all VIP packages for the headlining shows in the rest of the world. Starting hopefully tomorrow, we'll be offering a limited package of 1,000 collectable / signed complete skateboards generously donated from my friend Tony Hawk. For a donation of $1,000. you will receive one of these and a signed-by-me copy of NIN's rarest CD release, STILL.

Please consider helping if you haven't already - we're showing the WORLD the power of a strong and committed community, and we're quite possibly saving a life in the process. We still have a ways to go financially. Thank you all.

Trent
