Round One was back in the spring, when
dumpsterboy and I paid a ticket broker through the nose to see a show on the three-date preview tour (NIN at the Reno Hilton... how's that for wacky?) and the San Francisco show during the club tour ($100 a pop for the LAST row at the Warfield. The things we do for love.)
And now comes the arena tour. This afternoon we trek to Sacramento for a show tonight, and then Friday night we hit Oakland.
After hearing about the U2 fan club ticketing snafu earlier this year (people coughed up to join the fan club but weren't able to get the presale tickets they were promised), I was skeptical, but I joined the new NIN club and scored pit tickets in Sacramento, and third row(!!!) in Oakland.
Life is good. But don't tell my feet that, they'll be in bad shape this time tomorrow.
