They would have announced an opener by now if there was gonna be one, right?

My guess is either it will be a surprise when we get there, or more likely, no opener. So excited!

[spahn]

I can't guarantee I'll be able to grab one, since I have a GA ticket I don't dare get posters before the show, so it'll depend on what's left at the merch after. If there are some, I'll gladly grab an extra for you.

Awesome, thanks!

2 weeks!!!

I’ve been so stressed out and had to work my ass off to afford these shows and they’re the only thing I’ve been looking forward to all summer. I cannot fucking wait. All I’ve done every day for months is remind myself that when I’m at the venue and the show’s about to start none of my problems are going to matter to me, NIN live is the biggest stress release I’ve ever experienced. These shows are going to be a total blast and I can’t wait to meet more people from here, so far everyone I’ve run into have been some of the most gracious, friendly individuals I’ve ever met.

I have two GA tickets to the June 13 show that I'd like to resell.

I'm selling for exactly what was paid. $102 per ticket ($78.44 + $16.50 "Convenience Fee" + $7.06 "L.E.T.") PayPal preferred.

Please PM me here. I'd greatly prefer to sell here to a fan than on Craig's List. Thanks!

And QueenKwong will be our opener.

[Papagolash]

Fucking love that cat.

[Sarah K]

Man. I had my hopes up for no opener.

[m0reta]

Ha! Getting 2005 flashbacks over here. But excited to see what she brings since the 2009 LA shows.

[JessicaSarahS]

Fucking love that cat.

Me too! I still remember her episode on My Cat From Hell with Minibar!

[AJWilde]

This will be my first GA floor show to see. I'm going by myself and I'm really lost about everything. Any pointers or tips I need to know about before I line up for the show?

[Winter Is Coming]

Not really. Be prepared to sit and wait for a few hours. People were nice last time while we waited in the hallway and would save your spot if you wanted to go for a beverage or some food. Make sure you know what items are banned in the venue (e-cigs for example) so you don't get caught up at the last second needing make a trip back to your hotel room.

Line up in October started pretty early. I didn't arrive until mid afternoon and still snagged a decent spot in line. Probably wouldn't have been close enough to get rail (especially when you factor in VIP GA) but got in early enough I got the spot I wanted.

[fillow]

I would say, don't cling too much on the nice viewing spot that you occupied before the actual show starts. You know, that spot where you can see the stage perfectly in between the heads of two annoyingly tall guys. Once the music starts, you (and them too) will get swayed left or right in 0.000003 seconds.

That's me and @miyan on the rail. Sorry, not sorry.

[sick among the pure]

If anyone ends up behind/around me, the mohawk is very soft, and it's short now because I'm getting older, you don't have to worry about it. Edit: And I'm not tall, so no worries there.
I'm thinking about doing something I've never done, and if they have that sleeveless Bad Witch tank top, I might buy a shirt and wear it during the show. I wanted to wear NIN shirts while I'm in Vegas but I'm seeing 104* and I do not do heat like that so I'm going to have to go tank top (and they always only sell women's tank tops). I really wish it would cool down to only double digits while I'm there lol.

I'm led to believe that this venue has tiered sections similar to the Wiltern. Given that, if I don't get in line early enough for rail, what's the best play to get "as close to soundboard with a good view" as possible? Does that mean the very back of the first section, or the very front of the 2nd section?

I was in the balcony last time I was at this venue so I have no idea what the incline/format of the lower section is like.

Hopefully, these pictures help give you a sense of the venue:

The front section in front of the soundboard is all open and flat. From the soundboard to the back of the room, it's a gentle slope with numerous sections separated by rails. If you get the rail to either side of the soundboard, you'll have a slightly elevated position over the main floor. But I think those rail positions fill up fast.

[TheRealNs1]

thanks, that must be the most gentle incline ever.

1 week to go. Getting hyped. Hoping they play "No NIN Titty".

[nlemeshka]

Really looking forward to this show! I know I posted previously, but somehow I still have an extra pair of tickets (my friend and I inadvertently both bought tickets for this night), so if you hear of anyone looking send them my way. I have either a pair of GA floor or GA Balcony.

Thanks for for the info on the venue, @the bang. I had seen some contradicting info on the setup.

[sick among the pure]

Anyone who has been to this venue before, the lineup will be indoors, right? Because high of 107 now, I don't really want to be waiting outside in that.

Yes, thankfully you line up inside.

One week!!

[TheRealNs1]

current cheap hotel pricing: palace station is ~45/night, luxor is ~55/night. Add $35 resort fee to either.

HRH is something stupid like $160/night.

[oldschool]

I'm still looking to unload this ticket. Just looking for the $102 that I paid. PM me if you are interested!

I have an extra floor ticket I’m looking to sell or if someone has an extra ticket for one of the December LA shows I’d trade.

[TheBang]

Silver Sevens Casino is $24 on Wed. night. $50 for Friday and $70 for Sat. Resort fee is $23.80/night. If you want to book Wed. - Sun, you'll have to do 2 diff reservations, because I don't think they have a single room type available for all 5 nights.

The nice thing about Silver Sevens is that it's directly across the street from Hard Rock Hotel.

[Damage]

Does anyone know if this venue allows poster tubes for posters? Should i bother bringing one ? Or will they make me throw it away at the door.

thanks for the protip, now I'll have to decide if I want a cheap hotel room, or if I want to be able to eat at Oyster Bar and then go directly to my room.

I plan on contacting the venue about a few things myself (if we will be allowed to line up early at the VIP ticket booth, if they actually care about wallet chains so I know to go out and buy a new wallet just for the show, if we will have access to the merch booth before doors open, and to thank them for being so helpful) I'll add that to the list and report back what I am told.

8 am is the earliest you can line up at vip. Though your tickets and lanyards will not be given to you until later. Unknown if they will do numbered wristbands yet. From what I'm told, there will be a merch booth set up in front of vip so you can grab merch and bring it up to your room and get back in line (if no wristbands).
