I hope they do this for these shows. It worked out very very well (well, not for scalpers) at the Shrine shows last year. They were dead serious about it too, if you didn't have your +1 with you and ready to go, you couldn't go in. You had to hand them your ID to get your ticket(s) and then go right through security (no line or anything, just right in the venue). It was awesome.
And honestly it didn't take that long to get in. Of course the Shrine is probably much smaller than these venues, but hopefully they could figure it out.
I wonder what percentage of tickets get sold this way. I know that last time I saw NIN ('14 I believe), I bought their fan club presale that had a similar structure. Show your ID to get your ticket, then right in the door. No where to hand them off really.
However, I believe it was a very small percentage (definitely less than 10%) of total tickets that got sold that way. Would be nice if RH had the power to hold 25% of tickets for their fan club.
Anything to take away from the power of scalpers and legalized scalping (StubHub).
Has anyone ever bought tickets at the box office before? Just wondering if this would be better than trying to get them online.
I've considered it for some shows before, but never followed through with it. I discovered the venue I was going to attempt it at didn't start selling tickets at their box office until a few hours after the general on sale time.
If you verified it went on sale at the same time, and somehow were first in line, it's probably worth a shot. I know next time I'm trying for some hard to get tickets, I'm going to a grocery store with a Ticketmaster outlet (they still have those, right?). I think they're able to cut through some of the bullshit that we deal with on our end.
Just show up and try it, but also keep trying on your phone while in line just in case.

I did that for Tool last year and it worked out well enough. Me and a friend got tickets on our phones at the same time for our friends however we could only get single seats on our phones.

How early did you have to show up? I'm thinking I'm going to do it this way.

Is everyone who is buying ATL tickets gunning for floor GA? I'm debating going for some good lower level seats. I'm an old man and would enjoy a squat.

I found one in a part of town where the residents did not know who Tool was, got there 15 minutes early and there was no line. It was in a check cashing place.

Floor GA or go home
Can confirm, had lower bowl for NYC, it wasn't the same. Though MSG is a dogshit venue, other arenas may be more tolerable.
