NIN Sticks It To Scalpers

Marc · 04-29-2008, 07:26 AM

In order to prevent scalpers from stealing tickets from fans for the upcoming Nine Inch Nails tour, the band will be selling pre-sale tickets that are each marked with the buyer's name. These tickets will not be sent out before the shows, and must be claimed by photo ID.

NINE INCH NAILS THWARTS SCALPERS, HOLDS BEST TICKETS FOR FANS

UNIQUE TOUR FAN CLUB OFFERS Best Seats Available Exclusively via Limited NIN.com Personalized Pre-Sale

Nine Inch Nails has secured extremely limited allotments of the guaranteed best possible seats to every headlining show on the band's upcoming tour and reserved them for pre-sale via NIN.com. Beginning roughly 72 hours prior to each general on-sale, Nine Inch Nails fans registering under their legal names at NIN.com will be offered exclusive advance access to these prime tickets.

Additionally, in an initiative to protect NIN fans from scalpers and ticket brokers, every pre-sale ticket will be personalized with the purchaser's legal name printed on the ticket. Tickets will not be available until night of show, at which point they will be waiting for the purchaser and his/her party at designated will calls at separate entrances to be used exclusively by NIN.com pre-sale ticket holders.

Government-issued ID matching the name printed on the ticket will be required for venue entry night of show. NO tickets will be mailed in advance.

I hope all bands do this and put ticketmaster out of business.

I heard that.
Ticket master had its time, its time for something new besides ripping off fans!

I don' know why venues use ticketmaster anymore. There are so many alternatives that are much cheaper out there.
