I got my ticket yesterday through the nin.com presale for the Toronto show. This will be the first time I've seen my 1a, 1b & 1c bands all in one calendar year.
I got my ticket yesterday through the nin.com presale for the Toronto show. This will be the first time I've seen my 1a, 1b & 1c bands all in one calendar year.
are they PJ, SG & NIN?
I just really wanted to say that
You're really close: NIN, AIC & PJ. SG is #5.
What's #4? Btw, I will be at the Toronto show as well for NIN. GA Floor Ticket. It will be the 4th time I go see them, but actually the first time I will do GA Floor for NIN.
So amid my panicked posts yesterday afternoon I had the good sense to shoot off an email to the provided technical problems address on the error page. Tonight I got an email with a special password for access to the presale tomorrow a half hour early. It doesn't include the early entry, but I was shooting for reserved seats anyway. So it's not much, but it's something - so I appreciate MusicToday (whoever they are) at least doing that. And they're doing this for 8 shows so it wasn't just Brooklyn. Here is part of the email they sent:
Dear NIN.com Member,
We apologize for the issues you experienced during Tuesday's NIN.com presales. In hopes of resolving this unfortunate experience, we are making tickets available to NIN.com members like you who were unable to access the presale interface. An additional presale for the eight shows involved (listed below) will begin TOMORROW, Thursday, June 13 at 9:30 AM (local time to venue).
IMPORTANT: Ticket orders placed in this presale must be placed with an email address matching the “recipients” of this email (your email address that we used to send this message to you). Please do not distribute this password - doing so will lower your chances of accessing tickets.
NOTE: The tickets available in this presale are standard public tickets and do not include custom ticket stock or early entry into the venue.

Interesting. It didn't matter to me because I was actually able to score a GA Floor ticket for their Toronto show on Tuesday. But the strangest thing is, I looked back for some other shows NIN will play and that may have tickets (not to buy them, just for fun) and I saw I had an item in my cart. It was a GA Floor ticket for their Toronto show, yet I already had an email with the order confirmation. I should be ok, but I thought it was really weird.

Unfortunately, since I will go see NIN in Toronto, I will have Explosions In The Sky as support act, who wrote the majority of the soundtrack for the movie Friday Night Lights, which I never saw. Even though I'm not familiar with either bands, I do wish I had Godspeed You! Black Emperor as support because my family and I are originally from Montreal and Godspeed are themselves from Montreal so it would have been cool for me. By the way, did you know that Tomahawk will support NIN for one of their shows in Italy in August and Gary Numan will open for NIN for both Florida shows?
I got a pair of tix for the first Vegas show via the nin.com pre-sale. And a pair for the second night via the ticketmaster pre-sale. Both floor GA. Pretty damn excited.
Tomorrow I try for Seattle and Portland.
Pearl Jam is running out of time to announce tour dates if they want my money and/or vacation days....

Patience. Pearl Jam will announce the dates, I know it. Maybe next month or two? I know the earliest they will start is in October due to Soundgarden playing dates in Europe in September. I had shows where tickets went on sale less than two months before the show (e.g: Coldplay in 2008, Paul McCartney in 2010 and Corey Taylor in 2011) and I had others that were on sale around six months before the show (e.g: Metallica in 2009). It's their manager who, for some reason, is slow with the tour dates.
Well... I got my NIN tix for Vancouver, but it was a bad experience that has left me feeling disappointed in that I had GA tix in my cart, all is fine, and when I went to checkout there was an error. I was just confronted with a blank white page. Error error error. Happened 3 times, and then all the GA was gone. This was upsetting and frustrating. I ended up with only half decent seats - row 12, sec 117, so about at the centre of the floor. They are aisle seats, which is at least something. But really I am fuming about not getting GA when there was no reason in the world why I shouldn't have. These seats I got even cost the same amount as GA, so I can't even feel a bit glad about saving some money. :x
It will be a great show, but it just really blows when you get screwed out of the tix you want because of a website error. :( I'll get over it, and probably eventually convince myself that it's okay, because none of my friends would be stoked for GA, and I can go to the washroom with no probs, and I can drink during the show and blah blah blah... But i wanted GA for this one really badly. Dammit. Sigh. First world problems.

I was pissed!
I kept trying and one popped up thank the big guy!!
I didn't buy 2 just due to the fact if you have no one else to go your screwed!
They wont give you your tickets.
I didn't bother switching to 1 GA from 2, since if there weren't 2, then i figured it was sold out by then, and if I delayed any longer I wouldn't have gotten anything. Not like GA goes down to only singles (unless there is actually only one ticket left!). No probs having 2 tix - someone will want the second ticket. I actually got stuck between two major lame asses at Soundgarden because I opted for a better single rather than a worse pair. Those losers were super unfriendly and boring. I don't mind going to a show alone, but for NIN in particular I didn't want to risk getting sandwiched between unfriendly living statues again.
Anyway, that's fucked that the sale website has errors during the purchase. Terrible. I am surprisingly bummed out..... But if this were a hockey game, I'd have primo seats. Actually, they're not bad seats for a concert, it's just.... Ya know?
Anyone know if GA will be wristbands or not? I am wondering if people can trade tickets once they're in the building. Thinking I might be able to find 2 people with GA who decide they'd rather be in seats.

I dunno... I wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with scalpers clogging shit up, even though they can't even scalp these. It is a feeding frenzy in Vancouver always - I think worse than a lot of other cities because street scalping is perfectly legal. Then again, it might have just been the website acting like a bitch.

I think that Music Today or whatever who is handling these sales just doesn't have the infrastructure to support the demand. Surprising that they still had issues.
i got in on this monday's presale and thought it was great. i was able to throw back reserved seats a few times until an awesome pair came up first row of the lower bowl. then after that went back in and grabbed a pair of GA floors for a friend stuck in traffic. all told, i was getting tickets for at least 7 minutes passed the on sale time.

so i also ended up with GA for both Portland and Seattle!!!
4 shows....3 of which are early entry. very excited.
and i am certain pearl jam will announce dates....what i am saying is that all these other shows keep getting announced that i want to see. i'm not going to miss buying tickets in hopes that PJ has some shows i can get to. and if they announce shows....no guarantee i can even get tickets.
Plus i would imagine there's a reason the tickets are so expensive.

Lights in the Sky was a ridiculously amazing live concert experience....if this is anything like that; and the quote almost implies that this tour will surpass the Lights in the Sky tour.....
took a lot of trying, but finally got a great pair of reserved seats for the L.A. show....9 rows off the floor, 2 sections away from the stage.
Very nice! Enjoy!
thanks.....it is turning out to be a great year for shows....PJ, Wilco, MMJ, NIN, The National and Travis, all within a 4 month period!....hopefully, The Replacements will do some west coast shows too!

A cavilcade of amazing shows, I say!
That's outstanding...
It has been a pretty good summer for music... McCartney on the 16th of July in Milwaukee and still on the fence about continuing on to Chicago for PJ. NIN in September

It was still just under $112 for the ticket.TM is $115 I believe.
Pricey but so worth it, the production value is through the roof!!
