Did anyone get NIN AC HOB tickets?

I know that it's a small venue, but this is ridiculous. I logged on before 10:00 and got in as soon as they went up, but at the very same time I was waiting for *anything* to come up, there were dozens (and I mean dozens) of listings for these tickets on e-Bay (which by 10:01 they were listing as a sold-out-show.) The bids were going up minute by minute and I was still waiting for my place in line. By the time the ticketmaster page changed, they were gone. I only hope that they were scarce because the spiral members got a good amount, but it's gotten ridiculous how ticket brokers are shutting out fans who just want to pay a fair price to see a show. I know this is a recurring rant around here and it's all about making a profit blah, blah, blah, but no matter how badly I want to see a band I will NOT pay twice the face value from a scalper.

I'm consoling myself with the thought that I got to see them in November and it was great, but I can't help but hope that the ticket brokers get stuck with the tickets they grabbed. Greedy bastards!
