NYC- break out your credit cards and be prepared to sit near both a computer and phone at 5pm today in hopes of getting the golden ticket to Wonkas Factory one of the NIN shows at Terminal 5.  As posted early, NIN announced 4 secret shows in NYC, one at Bowery Ballroom, one at Webster Hall and two at Terminal 5.   Well, besides a limited amount of tickets to the two Terminal 5 shows, they all sold out instantly.  NIN Trent was upset to hear that most of the fans had no luck with tickets, and that the scalpers turned out victorious. (I saw some tickets on ebay for 1,400 bucks!!  Trent is good, but I'd only pay that much to see Elvis risen from the dead & plopped on a stage.)    Anyway, in an attempt to make sure fans get the rest of the tickets, ticketmaster is doing a 'paperless ticket' policy.  Basically, you buy the tickets with a credit card, then show that same credit card at the door for your ticket.  This way, you can not transfer tickets at all.

Still, I have a feeling that these tickets will be damn near impossible to get, and it seems doubtful anyone I know will get a hold of one.  Worth a shot, though.

The dates are:

8/25- 7pm @ Terminal 5

8/26- 7pm @ Terminal 5

TICKETS GO ON SALE TODAY AT 5PM!!  Do not be even a second late, or they will be gone.  You can buy the tickets here.

For those of us who don't make the cut, rest assured.  On Aug 25 you can see HEAVEN & HELL at WAMA @ MSG, and on the 26th Metal Church is back for a show at BB Kings.  Those are pretty good comfort foods.  I'd take Heaven & Hell over NIN any day...
