I heard people were complaining up a storm who tried to get presales from the nin website.  The website wouldn't connect or just stalled.

it was a simple case of too many people wanting too few tickets.  i was on chat with 2 other people during the nin.com presale and none of us got past the virtual waiting room.  i didn't hear/read on the forums that the website crashed.  really annoying part was that once you were in, you could buy tickets to all the shows.  would have been nicer if they limited purchases to one show per member, but whatevs.

i received an email from bowery and bought thru ticketmaster and didnt have a problem. i think a lot of folx were upset because they didnt know about the presale.

yup, that's how i got mine.  was really easy too, and the T5 shows were the only ones i was interested in anyways so it all worked out for me.  NIN fans have a (somewhat understandable) sense of entitlement - trent has consistently hooked them up with tickets, so the thought of a public (aka non-NIN) presale didn't sit well with them.  trent announced the password on the site's RSS feed, those who weren't subscribed to it raised a sh*t-storm claiming discriminition, human rights abuse, rape, etc.

Last night's show was awesome. The Pianos show is free.

I don't suppose anyone has an extra for NIN on the 23rd they'd be willing to part with? Just found out I'm going to be in NYC that day.
