Eventric is processing all of the VIP ticketing for the NIN “Wave Goodbye” tour shows, probably one of the most sought-after tickets of the season.  Trent Reznor has made an concerted effort to ensure that all tickets are in the hands of fans instead of scalpers and we are proud to be a part of that process.
