reddit has 2 tickets for you to see Nine Inch Nails in Mountain View this Friday

So I snagged 4 box seats for the NIN show next Friday in Mountain View. It was all thanks to a silent auction for a fantastic non-profit called the Glow Foundation.

Despite being a huge fan (still fanboyishly cherishing the signature on the ticket from an MSG show a few years ago), I've got to be on a plane during the show. This fail was assuaged by the fact that I got to gift two of the tickets to Keysersosa and Jedberg (also NIN fans), but that leaves two remaining.

How'd you like a chance to win a pair of tickets to see NIN and enjoy the night alongside two members of team reddit? Here's how to win:

Guess the number of Twitter followers @trent_reznor will have at exactly 23:59 Pacific tonight. Entries must be made by 23:00 Pacific.
  1. Write your guesses in as comments on this reddit thread (it's the only place they'll count)
  2. Closest one without going over will be the winner
  3. Comments with an asterisk (that have been edited) will be disqualified
  4. One guess per redditor (only redditors that existed at the time of this post are eligible)
  5. If two people guess the same correct number, the first commenter wins (and might take the loser as his/her date -- no promises)
  6. Only Twitter accounts created at the time of this post will count toward the total
At the time of this posting, @trent_reznor has 523,220 followers. Meanwhile, @kn0thing has 1,771 and @reddit has 1,648. That really puts it all in perspective.
