If only the pre-release tickets have sold out, then where will the general sale tickets be sold on the 22nd??? Have called ticketmaster, they have no info about any NIN gigs. WHAT IS GOING ON????!!!!!!! Sorry-I'm a little upset

Maybe Ticketmaster isn't handling the pre-sales? Until the Ticketmaster shows are in the computer, they won't know shit. Well, not those people you talk to on the phone, anyway.

it'll all be through seetickets.com, and not ticketmaster.

Is that because all of the Carling venues now have an exclusive contract with seetickets (which used to be Wayahead, right?)?

Aloud.com
http://www.aloud.com is also part of the Wayahead group (the owner of Seetickets.) My guess is the remaining tickets will be sold through there and the usual places (TicketMaster, Ticketline.co.uk, Stargreen.com and Ticketweb.co.uk)
I have seen this before - a few hundred 'presale' tickets sold through Seetickets, then the main 'sale' through the usual outlets.
There will be more tickets available on Saturday - trust me on this!

The pre-sales sold out in about 30 minutes, but that was more than likely a small amount of tickets and more will be available on Saturday.

There are so many threads on the London shows that it's hard to know which one to post in.

But, if by some strange freak of nature I was able to go to one of the London shows (I'm in the US - very unlikely), what would be the best, quickest link to use to purchase tickets on Saturday - and what would be the equivalent in EST to 9:00 AM BST?

I'm pretty sure it's 4:00AM EST. (GMT-5)

I have, and I'm not sure if I always trust that site for the most "up to date" information.
Wonder why?

It's not 9am BST, it's 9am GMT. BST = British Summer Time and GMT = Greenwich Mean Time (which is what we're on at the moment).
Anyway, the east coast of the US is five hours behind here.

Aint seen anyone post this so forgive me if you already know, but the "performance" section at nin.com site has been updated and gives the "buy tickets" option with the following link!

I certainly feel a lot more relaxed knowing where to go on Saturday, I think folks were getting a little hysterical including myself!

Hi Everyone!
I just had an interesting conversation with someone at seetickets/gigsandtours.com.I got my tickets for the Thursday31st tickets on Monday but i've been trying(like everyone)to find out what the likelyhood of there being more tickets on sale on Saturday was,as I was thinking of going to the Wednesday gig as well.
The woman I spoke to was very helpful and she told me that they were told how many tickets they could take bookings for each gig on Monday and that they could sell them to people who booked through the Mailing-list Link only.They were also told that they could do this for 24 hours or until they had sold all of the amount they had been told they could sell.As we all know by now,these tickets sold out within about 20 minutes.She also told me that the tickets that were going to be sold generally on Saturday the 22nd would be what(if any)tickets that they hadn't sold to the Link people on Monday.
I asked her to level with me and she said that they had taken bookings for about 1800 tickets for each night(3600 in all)and that this was all of the available tickets.I then said to her "so there won't be any tickets left to sell on Saturday then?" and she said "unfortunately,that is correct.ALL of the tickets for both nights are booked and sold and there WONT be any more going on sale anywhere".She went on to say that everybody involved had been surprised by just how fast it had sold out.
So it isn't looking good at all for anyone who hasn't already got tickets.It's stressed me out just not being able to get tickets for the night I'm not going too but I feel gutted for the ones who haven't got tickets for either night.It's sad to think how many scalpers were probably signed up to the mailing-list and got tickets.It may be a case of Ebay or nothing for the one's who are ticketless.Not a good situation at all!
I hope this isn't correct,but the woman sounded as if she really knew what she was talking about.Good Luck anyway!...OCEANSIZE !!!!!!!!!

I sincerely hope she is mistaken or that there are at least some more tickets for sale. I only just noticed as indicated in my post above that nin.com was updated giving a buy tickets option, I am hoping that this is a firm indication that there are still tickets available, I will however still be trying on Saturday like everyone else...I feel fucking gutted!
