I was in at 4 pm to try and get tix to Chi and never made it. I really couldn't afford to go to LA, but I've never been there.... never seen the ocean even.... so I figured, if the site comes up for LA, I'll try.

I now have 2 tickets to Wiltern and I'm still staring at the receipt in disbelief. I'm terrified of flying, but I'm about to do that for NIN.

Anyone else notice how the site didn't completely crash during the LA sale like it did for NY?

I know what you mean, I'm starting at mine as well.
Anyone want to clarify for me what will-call is? And is a driver's license a valid picture ID for this type of event?

Sorry to all those who got screwed. LA peeps like me definitely had the advantage since we got to "test" the system early with the East Coast on-sales and come up with our strategies. See everyone at the Echoplex and Fonda!

I got tix for Wiltern, hope I get my passport in time!

anyone have an extra echoplex and want to trade for an extra wiltern on saturday night? both see both shows? weeeeeeeee

Congrats to everyone who got tickets. Scored 2 to Chicago and 1 to the Echoplex.

Speaking of the Echoplex can anyone local help me with where exactly it's located? Is it best to fly in to LAX or Orange County? Any info would be great, just going to fly in for the day then head back home.

So bumed out, the tickets were sold out even before you even had chance to buy them. Boy your weren't kidding Trent when you said the tickets were already being scalped even before they went on sale. Blows me away.

Fly into LAX and then get to echo park....in the downtown l.a. area. The echo plex is at the north western end of the park...i'm sure you'll see the line

good luck

It almost happend in Los but it did't...I still love them though..
I'm gonna ride my bike round the lake to vent for not being able to go..
Bless the hearts of sincere lovers where it's not about trying over charge struggln fans but loving the entertainer...hackers and scalpers actually
hurt people more than they realize and could give a flying fuck
Peace

report the scalpers on ebay. it may not matter... but its worth the few clicks to do so, in my opinion

It doesn't matter. Illinois and New York don't have anti-scalping laws.

Actually we do have laws against this in Illinois.

In the US, ticket scalping is the practice of buying and selling event tickets by private citizens, rather than by the sponsoring venue or organization. Laws about ticket scalping vary by state, and there is no federal law that prohibits the practice. Approximately 16 of the 50 states have a law that makes scalping illegal. Seven states—Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania—require a special license to resell tickets. Four states—North Dakota, South Dakota, Ohio and Virginia—leave the issue up to state municipalities. [www.wisegeek.com]

Although there are loop holes and they use them... so either way we are fucked.

I SPENT A GODAMN FUKEN HOUR GETTING TIKETS AND THIS SHIT WEBSITE KEPT TELLING ME THAT THE CODES I WAS PUTTING WAS WRONG AND NOW EVERYTHING IS SOLD OUT. IT'S NOT U TRENT, IT'S THIS FUKEN WEBSITE , I'M SO FUKEN PISSED OFF.

tickets are going for 2k each on ebay.

"Buyer will meet represenative the night of the show. You will be the guest. The +1. You will enter the show with buyer. A very simple process. You will receive a contact number on or closer to show date. All sales are final unless show cancellation!"

"PLEASE NOTE These are WILL CALL tickets!!! You will be walked in as a +1 for the show. The winning bidder must send me a phone # they can be reached at the night of the show along with their payment via paypal with 24 hours of auction end"

"THIS SHOW IS WILL-CALL ONLY! I WILL MEET YOU AT THE BOX OFFICE!"

"This ticket is a will-call ticket. The buyer will be escorted into the venue as a +1 and will need to provide their personal cell phone number along with payment upon completion of the auction in order to arrange a meeting time and place on the day of the event!"

goddamn pieces of shit. the fans need to do something about these scalpers, take justice into own hands, if the so-called anti-scalping measures didn't do a damn thing to stop them from getting these tickets (many of the scalpers got more than 2 tickets) and jacking up the price to three hundred dollars, a thousand dollars, fucking two thousand dollars each ...

does anyone know how many tics r being sold for the chicago show, will it b the full 4,500 that it holds?

why? I've been screwed by this site for the past 3 tours. I was waiting on that "in-line" screen for hours before LA went on sale and went in fresh on another computer at exactly 5pm. Invalid username/pass errors, server lag be damned. 6 other friends of mine had the same issues. I hate this. Thanks NIN.com for screwing me out of seeing NIN. This is an epic failure on your part.
