Got to Hollywood at 5ish, and was maybe 50 people back in line. It still took 45 minutes to buy my tickets. And yes, the line was ridiculous and wrapped around everywhere. But got all my tickets, no suspicion of scalpers in line, but who knows.

Any idea on when the 2nd DC show will go on sale? And will it be box office only?
The Anthem's site says tickets "on sale now" at the box office for Oct 9, but "on sale soon" for Oct 10, so they're not available yet.
I saw a picture on eBay of a merch booth at one of the venues, looks like they had exclusive shirts and a slipmat with Add Violence grid art that I haven't seen before.
Yeah the added shows went on sale with the rest of the dates. I cant imagine whats going to happen at red rocks tomorrow.
Red Rocks is booked solid before and after the NIN dates, so not likely they'll add a 3rd date.
I've been to 8 NIN shows ever, with the first one being in 2006. I'm going to double that in the four month span between June and October. Absolutely unreal. This doesn't seem like some shit that should happen to me.
I never thought I was going to have the opportunity to see them once as a huge fan, so every chance is just cherished so much. I am so excited.
This was a strangely fun time. There were three friendly guys I talked to intermittently, and there was something about enduring the ridiculous weather (for May in NYC) that made the banal activity a kind of adventure. I am kind of amazed it took like four more hours to get tickets once the box office opened, but yes. A ticket buying fan adventure.

The Hollywood Palladium was a good experience overall. I got there around 5:45 and I’m glad I did, the line got crazy long after that. I met some cool people and it really made the hours fly by.
If anyone has an extra of those posters they were selling I’d be very interested in one and will pay you a good price for it. They were sold out before tickets even started selling.
looking for chicago tix if anyone has them for sale
For all the people buying tix today, did they let you select your seats (within your price range), or did you just have to take the best available?
UUUUUUUGH im so pissed that i haven't seen NIN live yet....and it looks like I wont this year either....and I dont know if I'll ever....one can only hope.
God i'm regretting not seeing them with SG in 2013
Still in line. Arrrrrgggg, if I don't get tix I'm gonna be a sad panda
the fox in atlanta shut down ticket sales at 3 pm. someone on the hotline facebook is saying they were asking for info since the tickets are not sold out.
Wow, what a shock, this whole standing in line for tickets to thwart scalpers was a complete failure as there are hundreds of tickets on StubHub for exorbitant prices already. As I said, before the internet we still had scalpers. Tickets going for up to $600. Have fun!

got my tickets in San Fran today and everything went smoothly enough. Standing for 2 hours sucked but it will be worth it in the end.
After also befriending a bunch of people online for the presale, a fellow NJTransit passenger saw my NIN ticket holder on the way home and struck up a brief conversation. I guess Trent Reznor got his wish; we all met new people in the real world today.
Anyone got an extra poster to sell?
I didn't get my ticket. I waited nearly 3 hours in line as I arrived towards the far back corner of the Fox Theatre. By the time it was nearly 3 PM, I didn't even reach the corner of Peachtree. I didn't have a bad experience. I talked to some people. It was cool. The people at the Fox were also cool and were understandable. At least, I'll get another shot hopefully on Monday. I just hope I don't wait in line again.
So this thing went on without a hitch I see. Trent had a senior moment. I think we can all let this one slide by.
I kinda liked the poster, but was not going to spend $30 for one. Especially since I know i'll never actually do anything with it. My [WITH_TEETH] giant ass poster is still rolled up in the tube it came in. I think I took it out when I got it just to look at it and it has now moved houses 3 or 4 times with me.
I think the idea was to thwart bots that snatch up all the best seats immediately, and which can't be worked around, with a minor fix: if you want the best seats, show up insanely early. And otherwise you can get more decent seats than you would online. I don't think anyone thought they'd get rid of actual scalpers altogether, just bots. I know if I tried to get this show online I would have timed out "reserving seats" like almost every fucking Ticketmaster interaction I've had on the revised site or I would have wound up with third mezzanine tickets instead of the mid-back orchestra seats I did. It definitely is a giant drawback for people who can afford to travel huge distances for shows, and I do feel bad for 'em. But NYC was ... actually kinda fun, even with the rain.
