==Physical World Presale==
Presale tickets for this tour were initially sold only in-person at the venue box offices in an event dubbed the Physical World Presale. The purpose of this presale was to try to get the best tickets into the hands of the most dedicated fans and to minimize reseller scalping (and to create a social event).
At the presale, there were merch booths set up, selling vinyl, apparel, and accessories, including an exclusive litho listing the presale cities, and an exclusive "In The Physical World" t-shirt with the city name. There were also headphone listening booths set up, where fans could listen to "Play The Goddamned Part" and "Ahead of Ourselves".
After the Physical World Presale, the remaining tickets were later released through normal ticketing channels. The original announcement[https://www.nin.com/tickets2018/] reads:
<blockquote>'''TICKETS FOR COLD AND BLACK AND INFINITE NORTH AMERICA 2018 WILL GO ON SALE MAY 19 EXCLUSIVELY AT THE PHYSICAL WORLD PRESALE'''
'''WHAT? WHY? PHYSICAL WORLD PRESALE?'''<br />
THE PROMISE OF A WORLD MADE BETTER BY COMPUTERS AND ONLINE CONNECTIVITY HAS FAILED US IN MANY WAYS, PARTICULARLY WHEN IT COMES TO TICKETING. 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. WE’RE HOPING MANY OF YOU WILL BE HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS, WHILE SOME MAY DO WHAT THEY ALWAYS DO AND BITCH ABOUT IT.
'''HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:'''<br />
YOU (AN ACTUAL HUMAN BEING) SHOW UP AT THE BOX OFFICE, INTERACT WITH THE TICKET SELLER (ANOTHER ACTUAL HUMAN BEING) AND PURCHASE UP TO FOUR TICKETS THAT WILL ACTUALLY BE HANDED TO YOU ON THE SPOT. THE TICKETS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE ONLINE OR ANYWHERE ELSE BEFORE OR DURING THAT DAY. ALL SEATS (INCLUDING THE BEST SEATS) WILL BE AVAILABLE FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE. YOU MAY ACTUALLY ENCOUNTER OTHER ACTUAL HUMAN BEINGS WITH SIMILAR INTERESTS LIKELY WEARING BLACK CLOTHING DURING THE PROCESS AND POTENTIALLY INTERACT WITH THEM. THE EXPERIENCE HAS THE POTENTIAL* TO BE ENJOYABLE. NINE INCH NAILS HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER, LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST AND GOOD TIMES.**
'''ANY REMAINING TICKETS WILL BE SOLD AT A LATER DATE.'''
