BRING DOWN THE HAMMER

Tickets for Nine Inch Nails’ upcoming “Cold and Black and Infinite” tour will be sold exclusively inperson at box offices across the country, bypassing online ticket sellers. “The promise of a world made better by computers and online connectivity has failed us in many ways, particularly when it comes to ticketing,” the band led by Trent Reznor (above) wrote on its website. “Everything about the process sucks and everyone loses except the reseller. We’ve decided to try something different that will also likely suck, but in a different way.”
