Still absolutely gutted of course, but at least there were some funny tweets about it to cheer me up, this guy in particular https://twitter.com/wutang_dan

"Maybe if Trent spent more money on proper servers and less on shitty online args this could all have been avoided."

this one in particular made me slightly less sulky: "The only thing that can make this worse is another How to Destroy Angels album."

EDIT: is there a way to embed tweets?

Just copy and paste?

Damn, I started at about 5.30...

So, as a couple of people have said here, hang around outside and see what transpires re getting in as a +1 on the night - I live 2 hours away. Much point?

[miss k bee]

Well I had to postpone my day till 5pm before I could go to keep fit and then do weekly shop so only starting now. Also raising a glass to those lucky fucks who got a ticket !

I travelled from Edinburgh last year to see Jack White at The Roundhouse for iTunes Festival with out winning a ticket, sat in line, asked folk if they were without a plus one and eventually someone said yes and I managed to get in and get one of the best spots at the show .

People will bail out as something has come up etc

I wonder if this gig broke the London Scala's records for selling out. They were gone by 5.05pm.
reckon its probably worth going to the venue there will probs be a few unclaimed tickets. I have a feeling they will release a few more not many like possibly 100 before gig maybe 48 hours before.

[dominik]

Didn't get one, but I would have had to travel from Austria anyway, so I hope a lot of you and local fans got their tickets. Just make sure this will be recorded!

Do you have an alternative (Zurich or Milan)?

[Scarlet Siren]

Ugh - that's much worse than I thought. I guess I'll have to book the first plane of the day and get to london at 7.30, have many cups of coffee somewhere nearby and wait 'til the show.

I'm either going to get a flight the night before or first flight out (most likely), and will probably do the exact same thing. It'll be a long wait but as long as the people are good the chat will get you through it (it has been in my past experience, made some of the greatest friends meeting them waiting in line )

Really would have liked to see more people on this board get tickets, honestly.

[monkeyarse]

Well if anyone does have a spare, I'll pay face value for it. Any takers?

I'd also queue for an inordinate amount of time to get rail. I've form in that area if no other.

Xxxxxxx

[icklekitty]

^If you give monkeyarse a ticket, I'll throw in a copy of AVOTT (I helped make it, so my copies are completely free).

[sore_and_crucified]

How many ETSers are thinking of turning up to be a +1? Problem is, It's a 3 hour train trip, and, there is myself and my wife (both, hardcore fans). I'd hate for one of us to get in, though, I'd be happy for just my wife to get in.

[icklekitty]

I'm really hoping they release more tickets, to be honest. There must be some people who can't get time of work come Monday (given this sale was at the end of the working week), or that put their names down wrong etc. I know that for the final shows in 2009 they said that if after all the ticketed people went in there was still space (i.e. people not claiming their tickets) they would do a lottery with whoever was outside to let people in.

I still can't quite believe what happened. It's weird that nobody else I know (even Internet-know) got tickets. I even went through a similar scenario last year (Kylie announced tickets to a tiny club tour one week before the event, and she's WAY more famous than NIN) and it didn't turn out like...

More tickets would be sweet, although I'm not sure I can go through that again without several months recovery inbetween. My sister-in-law and her boyfriend got tickets. They're not really big NIN fans - they just gave it a go. She's never seen them live at all, so this will be quite a way to start. It's particularly galling because of the server crash and white screen thing - I'm sure plenty of us never really had a chance, despite being ready and online. Oh well. Will have to hope for a stream of the gig, or pray someone takes a decent vid. I might ask my sister-in-law, actually...

[Fist Fuck]

Yes, I'll be at the show in Milan. Zurich would be closer, but it's a festival show. London just would have been a special show, no need to explain why on here haha

[Scarlet Siren]

Well then... But does that mean 800 tickets were available or was it less??

It's a 1165 capacity venue according to the web pages. How confusing.

[Digital Twilight]

It means the venue holds 800 people. Whether 800 tickets went on sale is another matter.

I was under that impression also, never been to the venue but a workmate has and that's what she said too. I'm just as confused! LOL!

That's what I'm wondering... would be interesting to find out.

[Digital Twilight]

It is very confusing then. Maybe 800 went on public and the rest is for freinds, family and press? I guess we'll never know for sure.

[fuckit]

Hopefully they play it like Qotsa and play the whole album and stream the performance.

[Digital Twilight]

I'm hoping they will play the full album and some deeper cuts that won't be found on the festival circuit but since its my first NIN show I'm happy with anything

[sheepdean]

I don't think they could fit a cameraphone in there, let alone a crew :P

There is a very minor chance that my +1 cannot make it now... I will update in due course but it may be available to some lucky ETSer.

The question is, who do you choose as your plus 1? I will gladly pay the ticket price and a night of drinks for us both!

I'll match that and throw in a 'steak meal' (to quote Del Trotter!).

I'll pay double face value if that helps your decision making any!
