NIN/JA presale

[wml7]

ahhhh you are right.

[sweetcell]

That really was the easiest pre sale I have ever taken part in ...

no kidding - GA floors are still available.  that definitely wasn't the case for the holmden show - you got only one pull of the P1 tickets.  they sold out in seconds.

Ticket prices for Chicago are only 45 bucks while everywhere else is 75 to 100 for pit.

chicago = NIN only, no JA (not even sure streetsweeper is opening).

[Got Haggis?]

yeah I had the option of either pit or seats...I opted for seats...I have no idea how my seat is though, they gave like 3 numbers.....Section R:C, Row L and then the seat number....I  haven't been to Merriweather in years....where is this?  from the one seating site I found on the internet, it seems like it might be on the right hand of the stage or something

Used NIN presale and got ninth row. Was the easy presale I have used and the best part I did not have to deal with Ticketmaster!!

The ticketmaster site says Jane's is closing this show (MD).  My guess is they're switching back and forth

[sweetcell]

Just a heads up to anyone who hasn't purchased yet and wants reserved seats...keep checking janes site as I'm almost positive once they sell out of the GA pit allotment they'll start selling reserved seats, concertmaps (the ticket seller) also handled pre-sale for Muse at Patriot Center a couple years back and it was the same way, had to wait a goddamned day before the GA tickets sold and they started moving reserved ones.

pit tix still available via JA... amazing.

[Cali]

and in other NIN/JA news:

In an effort to allow you to document your experience at the upcoming NIN/JA performances, we will be relaxing our photo/video policy (5/7/09 - 6/12/09 only). Fans will be permitted to bring in their personal cameras, video and audio recorders. This is not not an open door policy for any and all recording devices. Please try to use common sense as we are trying to ensure this experience is great for everyone attending. Don't show up with a television crew and a recording studio.
To be clear: this applies only to the North American NIN/JA tour.

Examples:

I have a nice SLR camera and lens and I want to shoot photos. YES.
I have a high-quality camcorder and want to record video / audio. YES.
I have a shoulder-mounted broadcast-quality video camera and want to shoot the show. NO.
I have a flash-based audio recorder with a stereo hand-held mic and want to record the show. YES.
I have a full Pro-Tools rig running off a generator and want to record the show. NO.
I don't have any recording devices but I'd kind of like to make out with Ilan. NO (probably).

The following guidelines will be enforced.

- Photo and video access is granted only for non-commercial private use.
- Photo and video access is limited to areas permitted by type of ticket held.
- NO access to barricade/photo pit.
- NO shoulder mounted video equipment allowed, all cameras must be hand held.
- NO equipment with a dimension longer than 20 inches (including cameras, lenses, etc.)
- NO equipment bags that violate existing venue bag policies (check with venue)
- NO external supports (tripods, monopods, steadicam mounts, mic stands, etc.)
- NO video or audio broadcast equipment (microwave, RF, etc.)
- NO external power equipment
- NO lighting equipment (mounted or secondary)

WHEN IN DOUBT, LEAVE IT AT HOME.

If you plan to take advantage of this relaxed policy, we recommend that you
do the following...
- Carefully review your equipment to ensure it meets these specs.
- Arrive early for possible security delays.
- If your equipment is so expensive and/or fragile that you'd freak out if something happened to it, leave it behind, we're not responsible.
- Do not interfere with anyone else's enjoyment of the show or create a hazard.

We will do our best to make sure venue security staff is aware of our camera policy. However, there are always going to be cases where local security misunderstands and attempts to enforce a stricter camera policy. This is unfortunately one of the hazards of attempting to be considerably more open about recording than most of the concert industry. If a security guard hassles you for equipment that is allowed under our guidelines, please ask him to speak with NIN security about the matter and we will do our best to resolve it.

Audio and video recorded at NIN/JA shows is for personal use only, and cannot under any circumstances be sold or used for profit in any way.

so some really great bootlegs, images and video will be available from this tour... AKA LEAVE YOUR EQUIPMENT AT HOME AND JUST ENJOY THE SHOW.  and finally:

pit tix still available via JA... amazing.

The last time I saw Jane's, I was in the pit at Nissan.  At the end of the show, me and this other guy (complete stranger) were at the front lauding Perry to sing "I would for you".  He shook his head and left stage, but we kept singing.  He came back out, sang a verse with us and said "I would for your too, man, but Dave's being a dick tonight." 

Someone in the pit, please get them to sing "I Would for You" and tell me how amazing it is.
