2013.11.22 - Seattle, WA @ KeyArena

[pplopez40]

with Explosions in the Sky. I'm there!!!

[johnbron]

I plan on being at this show. Woohoo!

[RINGFINGER]

The wife and I will be at this show :)

[NotoriousTIMP]

I plan on being at this show. Woohoo!

HELL YEAH!!! Winny, Gary, and myself plan on going to this show. It'll be Winny's first NIN show ever which should be pretty exciting :) See you there dude, let us know if you need a place to crash. :) Any chance that you might be heading up to Vancouver? Gary and I plan on getting tickets and will most likely take the BOLT bus up, you should join us! Maybe we can get october_midnight to join us up there as well?

[october_midnight]

Maybe yeah. Gonna get stands, don't wanna deal with a GA floor...wanna actually watch the show, never been anywhere but GA for a NIN show and I'm done with it. I'll know closer to the time...

As for meet ups before/after, not sure...gonna be a crazy time, going to a few NFL games in Seattle, Europe for a month with the wife (which we MIGHT be leaving for the morning after the show), but again, I'll know more of my schedule closer to the show.

[heavenly_bearded]

Only $120 round trip on the Amtrak? I am in...

Sadly, there's no way I can be at the Vancouver show. I'm barely going to be able to pull off Portland and Seattle. SEATTLE! I may crash with you guys if that's cool. I know Jaimie is planning on being at this show, and I'm sure our other Seattle friends will be there too. PARTY!

I'm going to hold off on buying tickets for these until much closer to the dates. I've spent too much already securing the Vegas shows and the Asheville festival. See you bitches in Seattle! <3

*edit* It'll be nice to see Rectal Barometer again. ;) Can you believe it's been more than EIGHT years since those Tempe shows. Holy shit.

[djcrb9]

... And i can't get through on the site to get tickets.

Anyone else getting this error?

"At this moment there are not enough tickets available to fulfill your request. Please try again using a lower quantity of tickets or choosing a different ticket type.

Currently there are not enough Reserved Seating tickets to fulfill your request."

[jessamineny]

Click on one of the other cities that also have tickets on sale. You should eventually get through to the sale page after trying different cities.

Thanks for the tip. So far no luck. Argh, frustrating.

[jessamineny]

I actually stopped reading after I saw you "couldn't get through on the site"... thought you were having another problem.

That error means they've sold out of presale tickets. It's been 25 minutes since they went on sale, so they are probably all gone. But you can keep trying to add the tickets back to your cart and see if some get released (if someone's been holding them in their cart too long and they time out, or if someone's credit card gets declined).

I wonder how many they had for presale, because i hopped in right at 1:00. I've just been trying for the past half hour straight, with no luck.

[johnbron]

Suggestion. Select the amount of tickets and keep trying. My captcha stayed the same which was nice, but I had to re-select the amount of tickets and keep going when I purchased for the Vegas shows. Got that error many dozens of times but eventually got a ticket for each of the dates I was trying for.

[ibanez33]

Yup, that worked for me.

I did that a bunch before posting here.

Oh well, the tickets are gone now. I guess if someone has a couple they want to sell, let me know.

[NotoriousTIMP]

Managed to snag a pair of tickets.....talk about a smooth transaction; I got in, selected my tickets, added my CC info, and was done within 4mins.

[TheBang]

Weird. I just jumped on tour.nin.com now (totally forgot about the presale start time), and was easily able to get a GA floor ticket. Maybe they added some more.

[broden]

Hi there. Does anyone have a ticket in section 114 or 127 that they would be willing to trade for the other of these two sections? I was able to get tickets for myself and my girlfriend in the pre-sale but they are in these different sections! Thanks to anyone who can help!

[ætche]

Thanks TheBang! I had given up on this presale and was going to try for the next one. But after reading your post I gave it a shot and was able to score a ticket!

[ManBurning]

Wow, what do you know! Scored a GA Ticket at 10pm, thanks for the heads up, probably wouldn't have checked otherwise and would have been stuck with a regular ticketmaster one. Nice!

[NotoriousTIMP]

GA tickets are still up on NIN.com....I managed to pull one just to see if I could

[Vrolok1]

Hi everybody from Mexico city, second show for me, first at Auburn Hills

[Vrolok1]

That happens to me, I just entered the site, and I said why not? and whoala, i´ve got tickets, jajaja, a few days ago I´tried like crazy for Las vegas and I couldn´t get it. Weird.

[ManBurning]

Hi everybody from Mexico city, second show for me, first at Auburn Hills

What strange shows for you to choose coming from Mexico City, any reason why you chose these 2 over some of the closer ones to Mexico? (California, Texas, Arizona)

[Vrolok1]

You´re right dude, but at the end of October my baby will born, so I couldn´t chose any of those shows, well, at last morally i couldn´t jajajaja

[ibanez33]

What are some decent and/or inexpensive hotels near the arena / where are you other out-of-town-ers staying?

[NotoriousTIMP]

What are some decent and/or inexpensive hotels near the arena / where are you other out-of-town-ers staying?

I will say this much, stay out of downtown if you want cheap. The last time I checked, the holiday inn off of Denny Ave was about $130 a night....pretty much all of the hotels downtown are going to be crazy expensive. I would recommend staying in the SeaTac area and driving up the 99 or I-5 to get into downtown

[Vrolok1]

What are some decent and/or inexpensive hotels near the arena / where are you other out-of-town-ers staying?

I´m from Mexico City and I'll be staying at Red Lion Hotel on 5th avenue, fromm google maps it's not far way form the arena, I guess.

[NotoriousTIMP]

Looking for a floor ticket for my girlfriend. I showed her some of the promo footage and now she's really interested in checking this tour out....

Sent from my LTE powered GS4!

[Vrolok1]

Any meet up?

[jaimie]

I am definitely heading up for this show and am in need of 2 reasonably priced tickets if anyone is selling :)

Excited to see everyone again!

[NotoriousTIMP]

oh nice!!! :D Where are you two staying this time around? My apartment complex has this deal where you can rent one of the apartments out for $125 a night and we are within walking distance to the venue. :) Let me know if you want more info on it....

[johnbron]

SO! I'm really hoping for some sort of meetup before or after this show, it'll need to be close to the venue and have room for a decent sized group of people. I know quite a few people heading to town for this show, many of which no longer or never did post here. It's going to be a great group and I'm excited. I'm leaning toward meeting after the show since it may be difficult for some to get there early enough beforehand because of work schedules, and some will probably want to wait in line.

I'll be there with my girlfriend and would love to see you guys and even meet a few new people. Also, I'll FINALLY meet ibanez33 in person, WHOA!

Suggestions of places to meet are welcome.

[ibanez33]

Also, I'll FINALLY meet @ibanez33 (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=1186) in person, WHOA!

I'm a bit scared.

No idea where we are staying yet so I am definitely open to that!

John - Yeah after will probably be better for us. I initially thought we were going to have to fly to Vegas in the morning on Saturday but plans have changed and now we will be staying the entire weekend which means we can stay out later.

[ManBurning]

Hotel has been booked, four points by Sheraton near the key arena, rock 'n roll! This will be show #4 to conclude my NIN shows for 2013.

[Vrolok1]

almost 1 month to see NIN again!!!!!!!!!! hope to hear new songs

[dredgly]

Hi, I'm coming in from NY and was wondering if anyone happens to have or know anyone with an extra Presale ticket? I'm happy to help line up but I'm desperate to find someone with a spare presale GA ticket. If anyone has one or knows someone who may have one, please please please send them my way.

I'm so excited to meet everyone in Seattle!

BTW, anyone looking for an affordable room...there's a Red Lion hotel and if you sign up for their free membership you get some percentage off the total. My room was under $100 a night and there was a groupon for it also. Hope that helps all the other out-of-towners!

[jaimie]

Do we have anything planned after the show yet?

[Rdm]

I will be there. Second time traveling to seattle for a NIN show. This time I am staying in the city. Last NIN show in the key arena it took me a hour due to traffic going into the city, just FYI to anyone going.

Anyone who lives in Seattle know any good record stores? For vinyl of course.

[ibanez33]

ManBurning, how early are you planning on leaving Vancouver to make it there at a decent time? I've never driven there before, no idea how long it might take.

[RINGFINGER]

Great! Car Repairs have messed up my plans.....Does Music Today offer cancellations or transfers for tickets?

[ManBurning]

@ManBurning (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=33), how early are you planning on leaving Vancouver to make it there at a decent time? I've never driven there before, no idea how long it might take.

We were thinking of leaving no later than 11am. probably get to and done at the boarder by noon and then it should be 3 and a half hours staight to Seattle with no stops if traffic is good. So that would have us arrive between 3:30-4pm.

This will be the first trip i'll be going to Seattle in a vehicle that isn't the Greyhound. It generally takes 4 and a half hours by Greyhound, but that takes into consideration stops along the way for 10-15 mins in each town picking people up. I've never driven or rode in a car there before.

So allow yourself at least 4 hours driving time, plus maybe some extra time to take account in case you get held up at the boarder.

If you want to be one of those people that wants a rail spot, i'd be leaving Vancouver around 8am, otherwise leaving around 11am-12pm should get you in around 4pm as long as there are no delays at the boarder or crazy traffic.

Good to know. I think I'm gonna take the Bolt Bus, it's super cheap and leaves Vancouver not too far from where I live.

[TheBang]

No, the NIN presale tickets cannot be transferred or refunded or changed or anything. If you're not able to pick up the tickets in person at Will Call on the day of the show, you are simply SOL.


Good to know. I think I'm gonna take the Bolt Bus, it's super cheap and leaves Vancouver not too far from where I live.
Then I'll see you on the bus. Unless you're taking the 6:30 AM bus, because that's way too damn early.

[ibanez33]

It is way too damn early, but I want to meet up with people and get to do some stuff during the day, so I'm gonna tough it out and try to sleep as much as I can on the bus.

[johnbron]

A few of us have been working on plans to meet before the show. Right now it's going to be at Bandits Bar which is a couple blocks from the Key Arena (159 Denny Way #105, Seattle, WA 98109) at maybe 5 or 5:30. The group so far is at around 20 people so it's going to be a good time (or a spectacular disaster, we'll see). Let's all do this and make it the largest ETS meetup ever. I will post an update if anything changes.

Looking forward to this show and meeting even more of you!

I'll be waiting for you at Bandits Bar after the show!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AZWoody]

Can I ask a huge favor of someone??? I went to the Phoenix show, and only got a poster, and really really regret not getting a tour shirt, as the 2013 shirts are not on NIN.com. Would someone be willing to pick me up an XL men's shirt w/ dates and I'll paypal you cost plus shipping before the show? This would awesome if someone would do this. Please PM me if this is possible. THANKS!!

[ibanez33]

Is there anyone going who still hasn't booked their hotel, or has room for another person to crash with them and split the cost of the room?

[nashstat]

I have a single ticket for sale in Section 203 Row 7 Seat 13. Wanting face value for it which is $72.67. I can use Ticketmaster Instant Transfer for delivery, so the ticket will have your name on it! PM me if interested.

[Vrolok1]

Just in case you take the Seattle monorail:

Friday, November 22, 2013: The Monorail will remain open until 11:30pm for the Nine Inch Nails concert at KeyArena.

ill take it to get the hotel on downtown.

[Vrolok1]

Email received from NIN.com, see you there!

Can someone please post the pre-sale e-mail here? Apparently nin.com has my old e-mail address I no longer have access to, and I can't find any way to change it.

I wish they had after-show merch stands so I could take shit back to my hotel without having to hold onto it the whole show. Does the Key Arena have lockers inside or anything like that to store a poster or something in?

[ManBurning]

They do! The merch stands are still open after the show. That's when I grabbed my merch in Las Vegas. I fell in the same predicament, I didn't wanna carry my stuff at the show. You can just hop on over to the merch stand like I did. I left during the last song because well, I don't care for the last song, and I wanted to beat the crowd there. Worked like a charm. NIN fans are suckers for the final song, and I don't see why. The song has never done anything for me. I donno if you have been looking at setlists or not, or if you know what the last song is going to be... I don't wanna spoil it for people that have had enough willpower to wait and have successfully lasted this long without looking at a setlist. But that's my advice. Unless you plan on being against the rail. No way in hell you'll be able to successfully leave for the last song to beat the crowd, lol.

And since you are hitting up 2 shows (Vancouver, Seattle) I would recomend grabbing your merch in Van before you go down to Seattle, not only will you have merch out of the way before you head down for Seattle, but you won't have to claim it as a purchase when you cross back into Canada and avoid customs fees.

I would get my merch in Van but payday for me is on the 22nd, my wallet is spread pretty thin until then. I'll definitely get a good look at what they're selling here though so I know exactly what I want down there. Thanks for the heads-up, though!

[Vrolok1]

Hey guys see you after the show at Bandits BaR?

[VladTepes]

I'm still looking for 2 good, reasonably priced tickets to this Seattle show. I had several people on Craigslist offer them, then sell them to someone else. If anyone has extras, please PM me. Floor preferred, but good seats would do too. I was on the floor in Portland and wouldn't mind getting another perspective this time around.

[djcrb9]

TONIGHT!

This will be the ninth time i've seen nine inch nails since 1994. Weird.

[ibanez33]

If anyone by chance happens to be on the Greyhound leaving Vancouver right now that would be sweet

[nashstat]

Seems like TicketMaster opened up a bunch of tickets for the show tonight. They are all in the upper ends though... There are two completely empty sections that were not there before hand, in case anyone is looking for tickets at face value!

[ManBurning]

Chilling and pre-drinking in my hotel in Seattle. I'm done paying $9-12 for arena beers, and I certainly don't want to put myself through another set of "explosions in the sky", did that enough this tour.

[Fixer808]

Dude, I paid for drinks and food for my sister and I before the show last night, and she got the beers at Rogers. "I can't believe I just paid $38 for four beers!!"

[ibanez33]

I didn't pre drink, gonna post-drink. I'm back by the soundboard tonight too

[ManBurning]

Rogers was ridiculiously over priced. If it wasn't for wanting a spot against the rail, we probably would have had a few drinks somewhere else. Least it wasn't $12 for a beer like in Vegas at the jont. That kinda blew my mind considering how cheap booze is in the states, but at least the cup was larger than the one they gave at rogers.

[Fixer808]

We went to Rogue first, and I greatly enjoyed some Caesars and mini corn-dogs. My three drinks and appetizer were less than 4 beers at Rogers. No wonder they stop serving booze at 8:45. "None of you have any money left anyway, right?"

Side note, that infuriated me when I went out to pee at 9:30, and get another beer. 8:45?! "Have a super, sober night!"

[ManBurning]

Ok, heading down to the key arena now. I'll be wearing a hoody and my fixed t.shirt with the giant blue "N" on the front.
