Yup, NIN.com only.
They will seriously be gone within a minute.
The idea of playing 3-4 shows in each city was to make sure every one would have a chance to see at least one show.

If you plan on purchasing presale tickets, please make sure you have entered your full legal name (as it appears on your ID) in your nin.com account.
does that mean the limit is one ticket per customer for presales? sorry to ask this here and not on the nin forum, but if i don't need to sign up for one more thing, then i won't.
No, you can order more than one, but your ticket will have your name printed on it, so that only you can pick the ticket up at the venue (ID required to pick up tickets). Trent does this to thwart scalpers and ticket brokers.

i just figured that if Trent really wanted each ticket buyer to be a non-scalper, they'd enforce a one-ticket limit so that each buyer is showing ID to pick up just that one ticket.
i saw a couple on stubhub already.

go to nin.com then go to the tour link and click on the presale link on the show you want to go to.
Me and PB are going to the Henry Fonda show which is $65 (it includes the fees & taxes..i think since it says ALL IN)
there's other shows which are $55 but then you still have to pay the fes & taxes.

there's no link. it says "presale: NA" for the Fonda show. i'm guessing there is no presale for this show?

i never had the impression that the Palladium held that many people! i thought it was more like 1500.
i hope they don't play "Closer" at any of the shows

Wasn't on the NIN|JA set list.
In collaboration with a friend, I'm trying to get tickets to the first and last NYC shows. Will be able to see both The Horrors & Mew that way, too.

the last show is at the worst sounding venue in LA. he probably won't be satisfied with that ending either...he can pull the never ending farewell tour like ozzy.

well maybe they can make it sound good....or you're fucking deaf.
I've seen like 3 or 4 shows there. most recent was Beck last year....basically a drum & bass show. there were people on the stage with guitars n stuff, but fuck if I could hear them. I haven't been to the palladium since they remodeled....hopefully they made it sound better...it was unbelievably bad.
but you are completely right about the forum...surprised that place hasn't been bulldozed yet.

the Echoplex just looks like a gutted factory. we saw Beck there. we didn't hear much of him though. the Echo's sound wasn't bad, but it's a dirty place.
i saw NIN at the Forum. it wasn't all that bad. but when they opened the set with (i think) "Terrible Lie", the lighting people snoozed 'cause it started all of a sudden so the lights went down like 5 seconds later and everybody started scrambling to their seats

the palladium was just remodeled...it re-opened last october.
"We ripped the roof off the joint, literally," said Rick Mueller, president of California operations for Live Nation, the concert promotion company that signed a 20-year lease and is handling the lion's share of renovation costs. "Our entire goal is to bring the building back to what it was like that first night but also to make it modern."
That back-to-the-future effort meant a meticulous revival of architect Gordon B. Kaufmann's original vision along with the installation of modern-day amenities -- recessed LED lighting with 20,000 possible accent colors, wheelchair ramps, a new concessions area, more bathrooms, a movable stage, steel rigging for elaborate concert productions -- that Mueller says will make the Palladium a nimble 21st century venue for concerts, television broadcasts and private bookings.
...I don't see anything about the horrible sound being addressed, but I don't think they could have ignored it.
