Oh I'm aware! Going to be wearing my ski suit and look like a total ass. Gonna go real hobo tonight it's gonna be an adventure. I'm going for those 250 a pop tickets because I hate myself.
I'll update this thread as necessary on my adventure to let people know of a line is starting throughout the night.
The capacity of RCMH is 6,015. Let's say they hold back 1,000 tickets. If everyone took advantage of the 4 ticket max, that leaves 1,250 people that can get tickets. I can't envision that many people lining up. Maybe 500. Especially at 8am. In the rain. I like math, so let's say the transaction time is 10 minutes. If you are the 1000th person on line, you will get your ticket in 2 hours 45 minutes (1000 x 10) / 360. That's with only one ticket booth. Hopefully things go smooth tomorrow and we all get tickets.
I generally have the worst luck for tickets but I'm gonna try to be there tomorrow by 7:30 to scope it out. I'll try to wear a NIN shirt (might be my white one with the red spiral from the Dissonance tour) but I'm sure it'll be covered by a green raincoat! See y'all there.
Thanks for the quick analytical optimism, @kevinbeetle !
I'll do my best to show up around 7:30!
Im gonna shoot for 8am. We could always use #PhysicalWorld or #PhysicalWorldNYC for updates etc. Good luck everyone.
Although it'll be less fun for those going, the rain tomorrow is a huge plus. It'll definitely limit some scrapers and fans that are on the fence.
I'm a bit concerned with lining up in the rain tomorrow. I graduate from grad school on Monday, and with my luck, standing out in the rain will get me sick.
with that said, I will probably still be on line, and hope to get there around 7:30 ish. I'll be checking the forum tonight and in the morning though for updates. I'm taking the Path and then one of the subway lines.
Somebody on Reddit posted a pic of NIN merch at Radio City.

Sorry to pester again, but plans have changed. Looking for an excuse for a New York trip and a NIN show would do the trick. The Mrs. doesn't want to go to the concert anymore so just looking for 1 ticket to either show, best available if possible. Direct message me if someone can help out, and I will definitely pay back the funds over the weekend.
Regardless, good luck tomorrow folks.
as per reddit- there's about 30 people on line already. they are across the street from the venue because of the police.
Someone on facebook posted pics and there are already like 30 people in line. So I'm heading out as soon as my phone charges.
also of note- seems that there's some suspicion that there's already scalpers on line.
I'm #40 and there are approximately 20 people behind me. They have not made us move yet and so far everyone is being organized and civil.
Security is starting to creep around, but they haven't said anything yet.
Damn... lol just got to nyc after the ol six hour drive.. debating on sleeping a little and then waitin in line or just making my way toward the line now... such a tough decision
I could get seats in New Orleans, both nights. Willing to trade (2 tix) for same (2 tix) in NY. Can trade in person in Vegas, if you'll be there.

There are about 80 people here now.
line is already around the corner from the venue, estimated 250 on line as of 5:30 am. crap. I should probably leave my apartment soon.
Security is trying to make us move now and stating that they won't honor our order. But everyone just stayed. So nothing has happened yet.
I'm in NJ- how's the weather in NYC Sarah? Cold and rainy? there's a slight drizzle where I am.
Rainy and windy and cold. But not as bad as it was supposed to be.
thanks
NYC Merchandise. Hopefully this works. https://imgur.com/gallery/n7aqXjV
very cool. think everyone (or while supplies last) is going to get a free "In the Physical World" shirt?
600 ppl as of 6am. Ah! My ETA is 7:30--will I be assed out?
you should be good, the venue holds what, 6,000 people or so? even if they hold back 1,000 tickets for online, you're talking only 2,400 tickets sold if every person is getting 4 tickets.
I still haven't left. things are actually up in the air right now.
Okay, thanks for the level head. Checking Reddit makes me depressed (too many negative emotive comments towards TR get upvoted), so I'll just update here and hope for the best.
no problem. I might not even be there by 8, if I can get there at all, yikes. ^agree with a lot of negativity at reddit.
