    Price of pre sales tickets?

    Hey
    I was just wondering if the price of pre sales tickets was the same as general sales.
    Anyone know?

    I wanna say I paid about $20 less for pre-sale tickets than the Ticketmaster price. Not a huge difference, but $20 is $20.

    I paid $100 for my ticket via the presale. From what I saw it was about the same as the TicketHorse prices.

    I would do pre-sale I could go back in time. I saw the price, (which was around 100$ CAD for decent seats) of the pre-sale and decided not to do it. Stupid mistake on my part. Payed 96$ for seats almost as far back as you can get from the stage. The equivalent seats for the pre-sale were 114$ and sold out faster than I could get mine.

    I've tended to look at the whole, got seated for the 02 block 101 best seats in the house, £48 each, standing at Cardiff with possibility of rail / early entry £45 each. Pretty happy with that

    For Tension, nin.com preorder and Ticketmaster had the same prices for GA and for the best seating sections. Cheaper sections were only available during the general sale.

    Is it possible to see ticket prizes beforehand via nin.com? The local ticket dealership in Finland is selling tickets for 62,50 ->. Can I plan this in any way or do I just have to wait and see what nin.com offers?

    So, a NIN tour newbie here with a quick question: Is there any reason not to buy from the presale?

    presale tickets are non-transferrable (for the person that actually buys the tickets), so if you're not sure if you can go, you shouldn't buy presale tickets. also, there's no guarantee that seated tickets will be better than general tickets. there are usually some good ones, but also some that are just okay.

    The idea of a good seat is very subjective anyway.

    I was a little bit surprised, when I saw that the price of the pre-sale tickets for Berlin (48,05 EUR) was quite cheaper than the price of the pre-sale tickets for Katowice (65,25 EUR).

    The NIN.com offers for Paris was roughly the same price as what the regular dealers were offering. With fees included I paid 2€ less than the price for a seated spot.

    Spodek always has very expensive tickets, nin.com tix are only slightly more expensive than their general sale counterparts - because of the 8 Euro fee.

    Thanks, hani. This will be my first concert in Spodek, so the price was quite suprising for me.

    I bought my tickets for the Paris gig through nin.com and they were about €2 more expensive than general sales.

    How does it work? The email confirmation speaks of a "SPECIAL NIN.COM VENUE ENTRANCE/WILL CALL LOCATION". What does that mean? A secret entrance where the band is waiting for us with Champagne?

    there'll be a separate line for nin.com tickets (probably entering through a different door). just like there are separate lines for GA and seats.

    Thanks for the info. Disappointed there's no champagne though
