"Nine Inch Nails fan pre-sale has now sold out, more tickets will be available in the general on sale on Thursday."

...FUDGE! I was 4mins away!

**miss k bee** · 03-14-2018, 05:21 AM

Yep presale sold out.. not surprised

**afors** · 03-14-2018, 05:22 AM

Where are you getting the message of all gone?

Still the general sale tomorrow. My advice would be to log on to the southbank site real early. They put you in a que so the earlier you log on the better the chances. I was on the website about 9:20 and I got through in about five mins.

**gardenia_spectre** · 03-14-2018, 05:24 AM

Sold out.

**afors** · 03-14-2018, 05:24 AM

Just seen the message. Well done to everyone who got some. Can't believe 15 min made so much difference. Will be hitting reload
for queue system from 9 tomorrow!

**ManBurning** · 03-14-2018, 05:25 AM

I got absolute crap. I hate myself.
I have the seats at the very back of the fucking venue.

I fucked up big time...

I originally had rear stalls EE, but I was like fuck that, let me load up another page and keep these as backup (That usually works with ticketmaster. As long as you have them in your basket, you can do another search and still get the first pair as long as the timer hasn't run out), Anyway, doing another search fucked me over and then I got row KK, and then I tried to snap back to get my EE's back, and next thing you know there was nothing but balcony. To make matters worse, the EE's I had were "16 and under concession" Whatever that meant... so I tried to go back and change them to regular.... man, I dun fucked this up...

I started panicking and just figured whatever, just get A TICKET inside, doesn't matter where... Just buy anything!!

Ended up with Balcony Row K...

Guess I'm trying again tomorrow for the General admission sale.

If you didn't get a ticket and you're in London then really try and go to the SBC early tomorrow and get in the queue. At this point it's your best chance.

**katara** · 03-14-2018, 05:32 AM

Meltdown just tweeted this a few minutes ago:

The NIN fan pre-sale allocation that went on sale this morning has now sold out. A limited number of NIN tickets will go on general sale Thursday 15 March at 10am #MeltdownFest

Good luck to everyone for tomorrow!

**ManBurning** · 03-14-2018, 05:36 AM

Keep refreshing guys, there are still tickets. I went back, got JJ back stalls.
Threw them back in.

Now I have a single ticket for row D in the balcony.

**chuckrh** · 03-14-2018, 05:39 AM

a friend on the cure fan forum got in right away on the band presale. seemed to be happy with the seats he got.

**ManBurning** · 03-14-2018, 05:39 AM

Awesome, maybe not neighbours, i'm K-9 (not the robot dog). At least i have a ticket, i just need to remember to bring my vita to pass the time

Thanks for tipping us to keep trying!

**sheepdean** · 03-14-2018, 06:01 AM

B-33 Stalls, anyone nearby?

**Haysey_Draws** · 03-14-2018, 06:07 AM

Looks like the ETS is taking over row K!

**ChipRock** · 03-14-2018, 06:08 AM

Stupid work, stupid fire drill... If I had been in the queue on my phone rather than on the PC I would have been okay.

Well done to all who got good tickets anyway. I've been refreshing and seen a few tickets appear, only to disappear again when I click purchase - there were even some near the front at some point. Luck of the draw I guess.

I did hesitate on some balcony tickets, but a quick look at google images reminded me how good a venue it is. Not ideal of course, but still a good view, and it's not like this is an arena. I'll probably keep trying through the day, just in case. Otherwise - same time tomorrow!

**afors** · 03-14-2018, 06:10 AM

Can someone explain the dynamics going on. I quit pre-sale queue after sold out message. Then they come back on sale.
Now gone, WTF kind of system is this?

No idea. Atticus posted on Twitter that the system they were using was far from ideal. Keep refreshing the page, you might get lucky still.

**afors** · 03-14-2018, 06:17 AM

Returns maybe?

**Haysey_Draws** · 03-14-2018, 06:24 AM

Maybe. The tickets being kicked back i was getting were all over the shop, maybe payments didn't clear or something. The system was a mess.

Never know, you might get a Row K with the rest of us

**afors** · 03-14-2018, 06:26 AM

Which page are you refreshing is it the one ending "p=106581" with the promo code + pink shaded message "currently not available"

**Haysey_Draws** · 03-14-2018, 06:36 AM

That's the page (the link from the email pre-sale) just keep refreshing that.

I'd recommend checking your browser's history, finding the URL of the queuing page and you'll be redirected to the page ending in "p=106581" followed by your queue key number, although I'm not sure it makes a difference. From there, be sure that Promo says "ANXIETY" and keep refreshing the page.

I got another one, front stalls this time (F34). Keep checking throughout the day, you never know!

**afors** · 03-14-2018, 06:46 AM

Thanks. Are there just singles popping up? No use need 2. Will keep refreshing though.
Very frustrating process. Strange how the ones popping up are not just being added to general release tomorrow.
