Hey, anyone know where to get tickets for the Tool concert
Dec 1st? - Fri, 19 Oct 2007 11:43am

ATTENTION!

If anyone is willing to sell me floor seats, I will pay you 50 bucks more than the ticket price.

Please! I'm begging you. I'm so upset right now.

There were complications with the site. I had floor seats, and then... just wasn't allowed to get them. I don't have a credit card and was going to use someone else's who told me that all the credit info was already stored on the site. They are in Hawaii right now and I have no way to contact them.

As soon as you hear of someone who doesn't want their tickets (hopefully floor) or if you don't want yours or can't go etc etc, please contact me!

I feel your pain DJ, or should I say, felt your pain, up until my buddy called me to say he had tickets for me and the wife. I tried and tried for half an hour, finally got in, went to pay with MY credit card, only to be told the info couldn't be accessed and that my reservation expired, then when I got back in, it was sold out. They were wicked floor seats too. I was freaking OUT!
Thank GOD for freinds.

Sorry to hear for those that missed out.

I'm not sure if this made a difference or not, but I registered an account and logged on about an hour before they went on sale. At 12 I started hitting the button and was able to get floor tickets in A2. Can't wait! - Fri, 19 Oct 2007 1:09pm

yeah, used vic, craigslist, ebay....they're all about 3 or 4 times more than people paid for the tickets.
I tried calling at 12:15, couldn't get through, had to go the internet way and by then all the tickets were gone. I'm amazed at how fast it sold out. I really can't believe it.

So now, I'm tossing my name and number up here with the rest of the poor unfortunate souls who couldn't get a ticket,

Oddly enough, I was at the Swiftsure the other day, and Chris the Bartender and a server I know (but can't remember the name of) were both jonesing for tickets. I still think it's humerous there's another demand for tickets on EBay, shades of The Pixies?!? BTW: I'll be interested in an audio copy of the concert, c'mon, The Pixies did it!!! - Sun, 21 Oct 2007 12:37am Edited: Sun, 21 Oct 2007 12:38am

Can't believe these fucks offering up tickets at rip-off prices and taking advantage of folks who actually want to see the show (not a huge fan, but love some of their stuff and not going to the show). Hate to bring this into it, but I'm tempted to contact one of these people and roll them for the tickets when I meet up with them.

It'd be worth any disruption to my life to see shit like that bleed. - Mon, 22 Oct 2007 12:08pm

I'm just going to say something at this point. If you don't have Tool tickets and you want them, you should have bought them online when they went on sale. If you don't have a credit card, you should have made foolproof plans with a friend or something. Those who don't have tickets have themselves to blame. The system is fair, they specified when they went on sale and how it was possible to get them so you did know ahead of time. I was able to get a credit card back when I turned 18. I really have no interest in the band though, so I'm not going or anything. - Mon, 22 Oct 2007 8:18pm

Way to state the obvious tyler. Anyone who wanted tickets DID try, from what I'm reading, and continue to try. Be it internet fuckups, or them not answering their phone (in my case) we didn't get tickets right at the get go. Neither did some good guys I know that happened to be waiting in the line up, but to to a random draw system they got processed 50th or something and by that time all the tickets were gone. I don't even understand why you posted about how we should've been better prepared, we were, we knew, and you're rubbing salt in the proverbial wound by insinuating that we're pretty much a bunch of ill-prepared troglodytic freeloaders whining about how we didn't get tickets and to give us some. This thread is a bunch of people who had difficulty getting tickets initially and putting themselves out there for those with extra tickets to find and sell to.

btw: Not, definitley NOT trying to start internet fights, just had to give ya alittle point-counterpoint. And we're still bff. - Tue, 23 Oct 2007 1:50am

First of all, random line WTF is that shit about? As I see it, people showing up the night before and sitting in the cold and rain is a perfectly fair way of getting the tickets.
Also, buying extra tickets is fair when there's a maximum tickets per household/credit card/person.

Second, I no longer have any tickets, sorry guys.

I'm not directing this to everyone who tried to get the tickets, but I have a feeling that _some_ (not all) of the people who did "try" may not have realized that a show like this CAN sell out in less than ten or twenty minutes. And on top of that, they may not have realized that the servers running the ticket sales might become EXTREMELY bogged down, especially when the credit card transfers started happening. Most people that I talked to who were on the computer well before noon and made sure to sign in AT NOON EXACTLY had no problems getting tickets, myself included. I think even after five minutes, you were very lucky to even get on the website. Again, some, not all. Just log in earlier for the next big show at this venue :)

Also, if you somehow managed to get 6 seats together on the floor, congratulations you are a God. (I'm talking to you Sebastian)

Congrats to everyone who did get tickets, this is likely going to be the best show Victoria will see for a long time. We're thinking about having a Tool Pre-Party with bands and a barbequeue somewhere nearby during that afternoon, so keep checking the forums for more information on that. - Tue, 23 Oct 2007 10:56am Edited: Tue, 23 Oct 2007 10:57am

I'm not in town for the show, so I didn't try to get tickets.

My beef, though, has always been with those that buy extra tickets to sell them for profit. It's one thing to buy the 6 max and sell them for face price. It's another thing to throw them on Ebay or sell them for profit. It makes you worse than Ticketmaster. - Wed, 24 Oct 2007 12:27am

Yeah, agreed. I fronted for a bunch of friends an bought the maximum 8, which I gave to them at cost.

People from other cities buying tickets to sell on Ebay are pretty much scumbag thieves. They're not providing any value to society - only exploiting a system and ripping off genuine music fans. - Wed, 24 Oct 2007 1:53pm Edited: Wed, 24 Oct 2007 1:54pm

Relax everyone. I've been to at least 50 shows that were sold out long before I got tickets! As a matter of fact I got into every one of those shows without paying more than what the tickets were worth and some where way bigger shows. Don't dignify anyone who wants more money than the face value of the tickets that only fuels their greed. Tickets are everywhere you just gotta ask around and I can bet you will find someone who has one and doesn't want a million bucks for it. I don't have tickets to this show either and I know for a fact that come the day of the show I will have one... and you can too! - Wed, 24 Oct 2007 5:37pm

Too True Criss! You've hit the nail on the head....by panicing and even being tempted to purchase tickets that are going for more than 5x the ticket price is a way of supporting the people who are pigging out on tickets and have no intention of going to the show!

By the time TOOL starts playing...they certainly aren't going to get the $3200.00 they want for 8 tickets! Last laugh on them!

Thanks for being a voice of reason and for reiterating not to support these ticket pigs!
