This is a lot more time consuming than the average concert venue entrance. Doesn't it result in huge lines?

  No, it was on par with regular security checks.

  It was no worse than any other concert I ever went to.

  It can. U2 did something similar in Vancouver - you needed to show the credit card the ticket was bought with in order to get in. It created huge lineups (a couple hours long) and a lot of fans missed the opening band (Mumford & Sons) [1]. Eventually they just started letting everyone in without checking credit cards, so they could get in before U2 came on. Maybe it works for the 20,000-seat arenas NIN plays in, but it sure didn't work for a 54,000-seat stadium.

    That's just the venue being cheap. For safety reasons the 54,000 seat stadium would be definition have twice as many entry/exit areas as the 22,000. They were just too cheap to use the full capacity. I had the same problem at the U2 concert in Santa Clara. 1/2 the doors were closed.
