i was in there and about to buy within 30 secs of them going on sale and all GA floor tix were gone. Like the last pre-sale. WTF?! I guess i'll have to wait till Thursday.

I had my CC details and Frontier Touring code all next to me in a text document on my other screen so I could quickly copy/paste all the info in. Did you do that?

[New Killer Star]

The pre sale code, yes. details were written down.
Frontier's twitter said GA sold out within 4 secs.

[barkhammer]

Don't give up - just got Melb GA after 15 minutes of refreshing.

[New Killer Star]

Don't give up - just got Melb GA after 15 minutes of refreshing.

I'm giving up. Sydney GA Floor is defs gone {Allocation exhausted}.

[butter_hole]

I purchased tickets to this show today

[New Killer Star]

3 presales later, using 2 computers, 8 browsers, 1 mobile device and an iPhone app and I STILL cant get GA Floor.

How is this even possible?

[umby1979]

Frontier's twitter said GA sold out within 4 secs. Faark me, no wonder. Made the executive decision to get some decent seats dead in front few rows back. I'm pissed off they put Melbournes presales on at the same time, knowing GA were going to be like hens teeth for both gigs, cos fumbling around on 2 browsers for codes cost me by the sounds.

[New Killer Star]

New shows on sale at 9.30 for Sydney and Melbourne. Check nin.com

[Ryan]

Fuck yeah, going to both!

All ready had tickets for the 1st show from pre sale, thought I would just check if a second show was on and got lucky GA for both.

Ryan did you notice that you have Floor 2 for the 1st show and Floor 1 for the second?

See you there! And maybe in Newcastle if you are going to that too?

Ryan did you notice that you have Floor 2 for the 1st show and Floor 1 for the second?

Yeah, what does that mean?

I just did standard General Admission for both? They both cost the same, etc.

[Ryan]

Nah, just both Sydneys.

[Starinc]

Not to sure, i got a confirmation but it is different to yours. I did fan sale 1st and normal GA second but used ezy ticket.

I hope they are not splitting the GA floor in two that would SUCK!

Nice In Two reference there.

Well for the first show I did the Frontier Touring presale, and for this second one I did it directly through nin.com.

Just realised that also a SUCK reference too.

If you 1st Tixs where Frontier it might just be how they split the allocation of tickets

[Starinc]

GA still available for 2nd Sydney show

[Ryan]

Were these additional shows mentioned anywhere or just popped up out of the blue?

[New Killer Star]

Sounds like the floor might be split In Two (see what i did there?)

[Starinc]

They were on Frontier Touring Twitter and are shown on NIN.COM before they went on sale.

[Madmya]

The floor is definitely split for the Brisbane show so I'd say Ryan is up the front for one show and in the second half for the other show.

I hate split floors, I'd prefer a seat than being in the second half. Thankfully I'm in the closer section for the Brissy show.

[Ryan]

Shit, I want to be on the barrier for both.

I'll squeeze my way up somehow.

How nice is your smile and are you attending with a big titted female in tow? Haha
I doubt it will happen otherwise. I've tried a couple of times in the past to no avail.

I managed to squeeze all the way from the back at the BDO with Rammstein right to the front barrier and filmed, so this shouldn't be too much trouble. :)

[butter_hole]

Stunning and yes.

[Ryan]

Very pumped indeed.

[dunebug81]

So Im thinking about going to most (all??) of the shows on this NIN/QOTSA gig minus the 2 shows in NZ. Being that i'm from the US and have never been to another country other than an afternoon in Canada I have some questions.

Anyone going to all these shows and want someone to carpool with?? Is it possible to drive from the east coast to the west cost on some sort of highway? Would it be better to fly? Its only 1 show i suppose I could miss it...

ive already missed the onsales but I'm sure I could find tickets on here, ebay or some other ticket broker website. I'm pretty used to buying tickets day of but I'm also not normally flying half way around the world to see the show.

If anyone wants to chat on facebook about doing this trip and have any other thoughts about travel and whatnot that would be cool.

https://www.facebook.com/greg.harvey.94

I saw 9 shows on the Tension tour and 42 or total NIN shows...looking to make it 50!

[dunebug81]

oh and I'd be coming with my brother. I should mention that too.

Also we'd like to do some touristy type things during the off days of shows. anyone want to play tour guide for us in whatever city you live in?!

[Charlie]

Flying up from Melbourne for this. Looking for another floor ticket for a friend for her Birthday.

I'm going to Sydney, Newcastle, Melbourne and Adelaide. If you need a tour guide in Melbourne I'm happy to help

[Cherry Black]

So I bit the bullet and booked a flight to Aus, now for the tricky bit: does anyone know of any tickets for sale? I've looked on Gumtree/Ebay but there's not much available, so if anyone's selling a spare for either (or both) nights, please let me know. I'd rather give the cash to a fan than a scalper.
Cheers.

Thanks for that!

So much for the coin flip as mentioned on NIN.com...

[Starinc]

Thanks for that!

Yes i thought that too. Very happy that NIN will be last on Friday night, will be a great way to end 2 nights of seeing them

[Starinc]

We are next!

[nothing8]

Thanks for that!

So much for the coin flip as mentioned on NIN.com...

Damn, I was hoping that coin flip thing was going to be real and there was a chance NIN would come out at the end of the night (for Thursday). Not long now, hopefully the ticket site is just putting it up there as "general" information.

[Ryan]

Almost time!

Took annual leave days at work for Thursday and Friday.

[butter_hole]

Thanks for that!

Well, when you get 2 days, it's only fair to do one each I suppose.

[Starinc]

Just got this email from the venue:

Hello
Please be advised, the promoter has forwarded update running times stating that the two main acts will decided on the night/s which will perform first.

[Ryan]

I have 2 spare tickets for this show, and 1 spare ticket for the following show in Sydney (collect them at venue).

PM me if you need one, etc. They are GA Floor A Reserve.

[Starinc]

Almost time!

Took annual leave days at work for Thursday and Friday.

I am working Thursday but took annual leave Friday, will be in the city somewhere having a quiet beer before the show.

[streetcleaner89]

I'm at this show and the second sydney show and the newcastle one

[Dan_NIИ_77]

Sorry guys as I'm late to the party, been over on the NIИ forums for some time but pretty quiet over there. Please tell me someone is going to be in a position to get some good footage of this, was hoping to be next to a rail to clip a cam on but doesn't look like I am that lucky.

I will be as always from the rail.

Good question. I have both days off work so whenever really.

P.S. - I still have 2 tickets spare for Thursday and one for Friday. Spread the word like herpes!

[streetcleaner89]

[Dan_NIИ_77]

I will be as always from the rail.


Nice work Ryan, things look a lot tamer than I remember they were up the front 10-15 years ago. Looking forward to seeing the new show and it's always good to be able to look back and relive.

[Ryan]

Got 3 camera batteries and two 16gb memory cards.

[Matt Goldfinch]

I will be as always from the rail.

Hey Ryan, I'll be taping audio for both Sydney shows. Can I get original copies of your files again, I want to make a kick-ass dvd again (hopefully much more footage will be available than the 2009 show)

[Ryan]

Yes for sure.

It was my bad during the 2009 shows; had plenty of storage but not enough batteries and only ended up getting footage up to the first moments of the song The Fragile. I'm prepared this time!

[Ryan]

Ps, what time are people turning up tomorrow to grab the tickets?

[nothing8]

I'll be there around 6ish hopefully to grab my ticket. Hopefully the line isn't insanely huge by then.

[Matt Goldfinch]

Yes for sure.

Awesome! no I thought it was awesome you were able to film what you could. I just hope I can get my hands on multiple sources with a few different angles and distances. But regardless, can't wait to see the show, can't wait to edit the show and I can't wait to relive it!

[butter_hole]

Ready to get my rocks off tonight

[Flashheart]

Interesting. So we still could have NIN on last tonight after all...

[Ryan]

On the train now heading to central station. Will be there in half an hour or so with two spare tickets so hit me up if you need one!

[Ryan]

Ps, 3 camera batteries fully charged and two 16 blank sd cards on me. Taking an umbrella in case it pisses down like yesterday again...

[Dan_NIИ_77]

Just picked up ticket, line at the nin.com presale tickets was starting to build although not huge. Noticed the had no cameras above the door, does this still stand as I have never been to this venue. Just wanting to know if I need to conceal it before entry?

I'm upstairs at central station having some beers. That's such bullshit with the no camera crap, I've recorded every NIN show I've been to.

[Dan_NIИ_77]

Could be an old notice, states no cameras audio recorders or alcohol permitted although someone on the nin forums said they asked and was fine. worst comes to worse I'll put it in a locker I guess. We're just tossing up what to do, at a mates in Redfern atm.

[Ryan]

What's your number? Send me a text

[Dan_NIИ_77]

just phoned them, anything non professional is ok (fits in pocket was term used)

[Ryan]

Perfect!!!

[Ryan]

Fuck me, should be in the presale line but forgot about it on the day they went up. Got a friend here luckily who will hold a spot for me up front from the presale.

[Cherry Black]

So some last minute standing tickets were released today, and I am ecstatic. See you on the floor!

[Ryan]

Some tv show or radio show just interviewed me, said Trent is gonna see it and I begged him to play the song AATCHB live haha

[Matt Goldfinch]

If anyone wants to swap their GA ticket for my ticket. Section 13 call me, I'm a but afraid the recording may come out too quiet due to the mics I have are for very high sound pressure, meaning the closer the better. 0433694111

[Matt Goldfinch]

Also, to anyone already inside the venue. Are there any pat Downs or emptying of pockets?

[dunebug81]

Who is playing first tonight?
