Looking for a ticket and can't find one! Booo!

I think ticket resale platforms have removed all listings because you have to get the wristband, and there's not enough time to mail them and receive them at this point.

You can try these, but you'll have to meet up in person to get the wristband. 3-day passes might be as cheap as finding one for just Saturday.

Edit: You can still buy tickets directly from the festival:

I believe you pick up your wristband at will-call.

A one day pass for tomorrow is over $200 at this point. Gonna call in the morning and see if they have an option to upgrade my one day pass from today to a two day pass.

And it might thunderstorm.

So excited for this!! Wishing those of y'all who had one-day passes the best of luck in getting one for tomorrow!

A source close to the band told me the set list tomorrow will be almost completely different from today's, in case anyone is on the fence.

Edit: Just realized King Gizzard's set ends only 10 minutes before NIN is slated to start... crap. Only just gotten into King Gizz and have been beyond excited to see them, but I want a decent spot for the NIN show. Gah!! Guess I'll have to leave 20 minutes early...

Delays have started. Forecast looks like the weather will move out before NIN is scheduled to go on, but who knows if it means a shortened set or something like that so they can still squeeze someone else in.

Lots of bitching on twitter, but also some great responses like these:

Sorry, King Gizzard is out now, due to COVID:

Rumor has it they're opening doors back up at 5:30 with music starting again at 6, but no official update has been shared yet.

EDIT: Update was posted right after my comment:

Well, shit. I guess that solves that problem! Thanks for the heads up.

Really bummed, but at least I'll (hopefully) be able to see them again at Primavera in a couple of weeks.

On the bright side, it seems the rain should totally clear up by 9pm, when NIN is currently scheduled to begin their set!

Oh yeah I have been at festivals where this happens. Say they will reopen at xxx time due to weather. Good luck guys, hopefully NIN plays but if there is lightning it ain't gonna happen.
