[scorpiusdiamond]

Tickets for The Prodigy were about £60 I’m told, so expect it to be about that much (same sort of price for RAH last time too)

[ChipRock]

Patiently waiting for 10am. Look forward to getting back to Brixton - it's been a while seeing anyone there, but 2007 was my first Nine Inch Nails show. Much preferred the later London shows at O2 Greenwich and Royal Festival Hall, but I've always been fond of this venue. Not heard of the support act so will check them out soon enough. It was Ladytron last time, if I remember correctly...

[scorpiusdiamond]

Ugh, tickets have moved to Ticketmaster. Fuck. Ticketmaster.

[bthitman]

Aye.. Ticketmaster. And no 'waiting room' it looks like. Can't wait for it to implode at 10am... :rolleyes:
Still, looking forward to this one! (if I get tickets) Only ever seen NIN in stadiums and festivals. I didn't get tickets for the Scala show (tiny venue!) Brixton O2 will be a powerhouse.

[simonn]

Under a minute to go until my heartrate goes through the roof!

[WorzelG]

So I'm In the queue, had to go and renew my password at ticketmaster as I'd forgotten it, panic stations!

[simonn]

Let me in, and then no way to select tickets, just a spinning circle

[Kamelion]

Getting booted from all queues. WTF is going on?

[Tom]

Same.

[WorzelG]

Me too - circle is just spinning. At least it's not just me

[scorpiusdiamond]

Spinning circle, friend got O2. £77

[bthitman]

WOOOHOOO!! I feel mega-lucky today!! got my 2 tickets. boom. Happy days. (hopefully the rest get in soon!!)

[simonn]

Says choose tickets and then spinning circle, and no way to actually select a ticket. Shitshow.

[WorzelG]

I got into the queue once and it 'let me in' then just sent me back to that spinning circle thing, and you can't even click on the presale option to get to the queue!
If they're sold out it should say as well, not just keep you hanging around

[Kamelion]

I have not missed this feeling at all :(

[Microwave Jellyfish]

Standard Ticketmaster performance. Not even surprised.

[WorzelG]

I've gor into the queue again, fingers crossed

[bthitman]

Queue seems to be working again.

NOPE.. sorry

[scorpiusdiamond]

Kicked out again. Ha

[Sarah_Munn]

Same, get in queue, kicked out three times now.

[captainkurtz]

Guys, close youre browsers, click on the NIN link and go in again - it works - just got 1 stalls 2 seconds ago..

[scorpiusdiamond]

Yeah, trying that but it won't even put me in the queue now. I think they might be gone

edit: ALMOST HAD IT THEN, then it borked and kicked me out again

[simonn]

Eventually I went via NIN's tour page, that was successful....thank god...hope this helps someone...!

[captainkurtz]

Shit...that links not working now....I came right out and clicked on the NIN email and it took me straight to the Artist password page....hope you all get sorted.

[WorzelG]

Fucking finally got my tickets!! The AXS sale for the Eden Project shows was much less stressful

[captainkurtz]

Eventually I went via NIN's tour page, that was successful....thank god...hope this helps someone...!

Yes - this works!

[Tom]

Phew, got it.

[scorpiusdiamond]

https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/nine-inch-nails-london-21-06-2022/event/1f005c7288ee1409?did=uklnfan2ps

got them. I could kiss you

[zephyr]

Watching this thread from afar let me get tickets, thanks for the heads up to retry the link!

Two nights of Eden then this. Almost as exciting as the scala gig years ago

[Microwave Jellyfish]

Opening the link in an incognito window worked - I was going after Manchester, mind.

Good luck, guys!

[Tom]

Pretty stoked now - break away in Cornwall for both Eden shows, then I'll get to relive my first nin gig at the Academy in 99, looking forward to doing as I did then and standing in front of the venue for eight hours so I can get on the front bar.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[scorpiusdiamond]

captainkurtz I owe you a beer. Granted I won't buy it in Brixton, cause it'll cost half the ticket price, but I still owe you one!

[ChipRock]

Thirty two minutes of hell!
That link worked for me though - cheers captainkurtz
Reminds me why I generally avoid these big shows nowadays... too old for this shit.

[Shaunus4]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

What dyntr said!! :o

[scorpiusdiamond]

£8.10 service fee & £2.75 handling fee
for that
per ticket
fucking ridiculous

[Kamelion]

YES! FINALLY!

See you pigs at the barrier!

[zsorzs]

Hi guys, thank you for that link..
I was trying to buy it from the normal ticket master site but i had to queue again and again ... rubbish ..
Anyway, thanks again.
See you at the front :)

[zsorzs]

Saw this at the Brixton Academy facebook page

[simonn]

So started listening to some Yves Tumor today, never even heard of them before, not bad at all tbf. The music on Limerence could easily be Trent/Atticus.

[captainkurtz]

Really surprised the presale didn’t sell out in seconds…wonder why? The price? Expensive yes, but the days of £40 tickets for a band of their stature are well and truly over. Their schedule wouldn’t allow for it anyway, but even if it did, you’d have to guess they wouldn’t add a second night..

[ChipRock]

Judging by twitter I think Brixton pretty much did sell out - seems like pretty much nobody was able to get a ticket today!

Without wanting to be too spoilt, I do wish we were getting Nitzer Ebb in support. Never seen those guys, and I bet they'd be good.

[WorzelG]

People who are short of cash and live in the relevant city really need to check the resale sites because you may get a bargain nearer the time. I’m so glad I used the presale now, but I was almost tempted not to because of the restrictions to selling on the tickets, it’s quite stressful to think that you can’t sell them on or transfer tickets if you can’t go and with COVID you just can’t guarantee you’ll be able to go. I’d feel like shit if I’m too ill to go to Cornwall and nobody in my group can have the tickets transferred to them. Although for what it’s worth I do think the ticketmaster presale tickets can be transferred on at least

I advice to choose for Cornwall 6/17 :rolleyes:
Still tickets there.

They're touring Europe this summer. Their only UK solo show is London, but perhaps a good excuse for a short break.

[dominik]

I'd love to go, but I already bought tickets for the LCD Soundsystem show about 10 days later and there's no way I can go to London twice in two weeks from Vienna :p

[witte]

Looking for 2 extra tickets for two Dutchies.

[paul_is_dead]

Just got a ticket slightly above face value on Ticketmaster!

[Morad]

If anybody has an extra ticket to sell, here I am!

Strikes announced for June 21st
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/jun/07/rail-workers-to-stage-three-day-strike-in-june-over-possible-job-losses

I just got myself a cheap megabus ticket from Manchester to London just in case. I guess bus ticket will sell out rather quickly

Easyjet and ryanair are also cancelling several flights, I hope I'll be able to make it to Glasgow in time..

This is gonna include the tube (metro/subway) in London too if anyone was wondering

[FieldOnFire]

Don't suppose anyone has a spare ticket which they're looking to sell?

Managed to get 2 tickets via Ticketmaster. Thanks.

[simonn]

Tube strike has meant I've had to book parking near the venue instead of training it - shame, as I like a beer or three at my gigs generally....! First world problems I know...!

Getting very excited for this now, been 4 years since I last saw them. Would love to see Perfect Drug at this show, as never seen it in the flesh, obviously...! I wonder if Trent 'does a Lars' when constructing a setlist, and looks at what and wasn't played last time he was in a certain city.

I really hope so! So many songs I've not seen, even some setlist staples. Ive always wanted to see Somewhat Damaged and Mr Self Destruct live, but not seen either the 5 times I've seen NIN... I have managed to see Now I'm Nothing which is a nice consolation.

There's almost a whole concert of songs I've never seen played I would love to hear; and given the deeper cuts being played since 2018 a lot of these are not impossible:

Somewhat Damaged
Mr Self Destruct
Last
Ruiner
Something I Can Never Have
Help Me Im in hell
Hapiness in slavery
The Perfect drug
My Violent Heart
In Two
Head Down
Into the void
Everyday Is Exactly The Same
All the Love in the world
And All that could have been
In This Twilight/Zero -
Over & Out

[paul_is_dead]

Still haven't decided whether to go to this because of the strike. Going to Manchester though.

[zephyr]

Strikes going to make this a royal PITA and I only live in East London.

Same, I'm from East London too, but I have an electric bike so f**k you TFL !!!

The details of the tube strike is here in case anyone didn't see it :

[scorpiusdiamond]

Oh GOOD, didn't realise it extended to Wednesday morning, that's going to be a fun journey to try and get back to Cardiff.

[simonn]

That new live song he's now played twice in a row - praying that gets played at this show!

[miss k bee]

Still feeling rough from the lurgi so don't think I'll be going. Put ticket up on Reddit, presale ticket

[ophelia_]

Cant get to the gig because of strikes, absolutely heartbroken... If anyone wants to buy my ticket, let me know.

Or if anyone's driving from Brighton and has a spare seat, hello!

[monkeyarse]

Now then all, my partner lives a short walk from the venue but doesnt want to come unless a ticket is cheap as she is a fan but not an £80 fan (nobody is perfect, but she is really testing me..).
I am just saying this in case someone ends up with a spare and doesnt mind losing a fair bit on it.

[ChipRock]

I was due to head up from Portsmouth this evening, but without the train I can't reasonably make it, so yeah, spare standing ticket going for anyone interested.
Happy to go below face value - will be happy if at least someone else has a good night! Hit me up.

[Tom]

Just set off! Determined to be on the rail for this one.

[miss k bee]

All tickets are available for transfer now, including presale tickets. So if anyone is still looking for a ticket....

[ophelia_]

1 ticket available for anyone that can get to Brixton in time. Free, but happy to accept offers of something from the merch table if you're so inclined ��

Heartbroken to not be able to make it, but would hate it to go to waste.

[Lastentrance]

Looking for 2 tix if anyone can help!!

[Lastentrance]

Is this still available? Is it GA or standing? Happy to trade merch for tik!

[ophelia_]

Yep it's still available, DM me your Ticketmaster account and I'll transfer it.
