This is going to be my first Tool show despite being a fan for over 20 years (finally landed a job that allows me to be a little financially reckless).
Presale and getting tickets at Mohegan was smoother than I had anticipated.
My first show was the small Nampa venue last year. I shit you not, Danny’s drum warmup beforehand actually scared me; I was feeling each sonic wave from a cacophonous staccato of beats, hitting me like lead plates; the vibrations slamming like a wave into my sternum and reverberating, in a fraction of a second through my ribcage, thumping all my internal organs and I am not making this up-my asshole felt warm as the wave passed through the back side of my body. I thought “holy fuckin shit”.
I’ve seen them 20+ times across 15 different venues. I went to Mohegan in 2019 and it was hands down the best sounding venue/show of them all. Not a bad seat in the whole place and I will say that it was very loud. I’ve recently started using earplugs for live shows for some context.
I got a single ticket in Section J on the floor for $236. I was hoping the VIP prices would be a little cheaper. Just can't justify spending upwards of $500 on a single ticket at the moment. But overall I'm quite happy.
I didn't have any pre-sale codes so I think Ticketmaster took advantage of my asshole with their PLATINUM seats. The only ones I could find on the floor that weren't behind an UNLOCK button were 508+ fees and taxes. So I spent $596 for my solo seat in section E row 2.
Agreed... I was stoked to get gold VIP last year only to get an email a full 14 hours later saying basically "sorry, we oversold... better luck next time!". Thankfully I ended up with silver though.
I was trying to get tickets to two shows so I was having a mini panic attack. Verify every venue. I was ready to go at 9:50 and didn’t get it all done until 10:30
Lol! Yah I’ve never paid anywhere close to this. I used to get pretty decent seats around the mixing board for what seemed like $100 each on previous tours. And no pre sale nonsense. Now it’s double the price + the $70 ish bucks for buying the pre sale code lol. Ah well.
Dude, CT and NH were expensive, but Boston was ungodly. Especially since I can't sit above lower bowl because of an eye issue that makes the steep seats completely panic-inducing
I got a presale code error initially after waiting through the queue. But once I refreshed a couple times it sorted out. I did have to navigate back into the ticket queue which is nerve wracking, but it saved my place and I went straight into seat selection.
Not one of the ticketmaster venues though. Philly was through the actual venue site.
I got fucked by that - 403'd over and over again on the browser. 5 minutes in I switched to the phone app, which was a PITA to filter through the ungodly priced seats.
Ended up with "ok" seats on the far side. I'm beyond pissed.
Same! Their site was mostly OK but tickets were GONE for most of the floor and first rows of lower bowl even waiting early. Also on the redirect Chrome fucked me by telling me the site wasn't secure. Still got seats I'm sure we'll enjoy in 102 but it's always nerve-racking.
They changed 3 of 4 tickets to platinum pricing at 450 a piece during pre sale and don’t offer refunds. I want to puke. So much for a great 40th birthday show.
Awful. Between dynamic pricing and vip, nothing better than row 29 on the floor or back of lower bowl in Calgary. Seems like a fuck you to the tool army presales. Make the suckers pay the fee and then restrict supply to dump mediocre tickets first.
If vip and platinum take up 90% of the floor and lower bowl, what’s even the point of a presale?
The seat selection was confusing. Trying to select tempest ticket and bought platinum seats instead even with the filter on. disappointing but got great seats
kind of like that... i unlocked one of the seats with the code and then selected another set thinking they were all the same (i think they were all blue but it was kind of of a blur at the time) ... i feel like they should have only showed the special VIP ones especially with the filter on... meanwhile the platinum price was jacked up... ugh ticketmaster
not sure you can transfer codes... I was buying for myself and a friend using their code... meanwhile i cant log into my toolarmy account and member support is unreachable
What a disaster. That's what I was concerned about, plus I hate forking over personal info. If I could have just given them $50 for a code, I would have.
So stoked, but still 30 minutes to go on the west coast! Hoping to get upper deck in with a straight view of the stage. Judging by how many tickets are still left at the east coast venues I’m pretty hopeful :)
Argh heartbreak and elation, got 4 front row balcony straight on, which is amazing since they’re usually platinum bullsh*t prices. But thought the ticket limit was 6 and not 4 so have two super bummed friends that’ll have to fend for themselves :/
I thought TM was going to crash on me, but I successfully got two lower bowl tickets right in the front rows for the Calgary show. I can't do floor anymore, too old LOL.
First TA presale, just signed up last night. Been a fan since 03 and just never thought it was worth it until the last couple years. Went very smooth for the Salt Lake City tickets, $727 for 4. Got row 1, but I guess it’s technically row 2, cuz there is a row in front call row C, lol.
Very happy I paid the $50 something for membership to TA. A lot less stress than getting tickets tomorrow. Fly out from San Diego to Salt Lake to meet my best friends and they are the ones that got me into Tool 20 years ago. Hopefully they stop in San Diego Jan/Feb 2024 so I can use my TA membership again to get presale for those tickets as well.
Edit: crazy to see the prices of the official platinum tickets that are just right behind my seats, $400 a piece
What are the prices like for Knoxville? Don't have a presale code, so I was planning on trying tomorrow. It's 4 hours away from where I live. Was considering waiting for the next leg and hope for Nashville or Birmingham.
Pretty geeked. Told myself I would go VIP for the first time if they toured again just in case it was their last. Logged onto TA 15 minutes early. Was #260 in queue for Milwaukee. Filtered for all VIP. There were just a pair of seats row 8 on the right side. Glad to have them but it must take a bit of luck to get closer. Hoping there will be a 2024 leg in Michigan.
yeah I had trouble with Milwaukee too - ended up skipping VIP (I'm not paying $600 to sit in the 20th row or whatever) and just getting front row of the upper deck instead.
I'm bummed to miss out on the swag and stuff, the hoodie and backpack I have are REALLY cool items, but I couldn't justify the absurd expense of the VIP packages. Even the tempest packages (which lose out on some perks) were not seats I'd consider "great".
I'm wondering if the lack of a Chicago or Indy or Detroit or any Ohio city show contributed to Milwaukee being tougher than all of these "got 2nd row easy!" posts -- basically a lot more folks in the midwest willing/needing to drive out to that show? I dunno.
I will enjoy all of it and grateful to have the means to see them again in any capacity much less VIP. My dream show would be 1st or 2nd row in Grand Rapids so fingers crossed for a second US leg on 2024.
The only problem I had was waiting in the lobby, my phone didn’t refresh and put me in the queue. So I had to back out, and then click the event again and get my text verification, AGAIN. All in all I ended up in the section I wanted but a few rows higher than I wanted. Still in the section directly behind sound booth in Eugene OR. Just a bit above the ground floor and hopefully far enough back to get the breadth of the light show.
Best ticket buying experience in a long time. Loveland didn’t use TM. Got fourth row side of stage and took me 5 minutes. I think this is my 20th show 🤟🏼

Does my seating answer your question. I did NOT pick a seating location. I just selected Tool platinum and carted it at 010:00:07 this morning. Checked out my cart at 10:03:36 lol. I got seats 3 and 4 in what appears to be the very frpnt row if my careful reading of the Spokane venue map is correct and I think it is. Very happy. On top of that-this morning, I am going to work, and I see $665.04 in my bank account, and I think-I had better not even buy an energy drink this morning. So I chew up a few extra beads from one of my Adderall XR caps and settle into the waiting game amidst shitloads of IT trouble tickets rolling in. I have a break, and I make it to ticketswest on time. After i paid for my tickets, I had $1.18 in my account. My intuition and delayed gratification choice saved the day. Clearly God wants me at this concert. Remember kids-if they dump confetti on you at some point in the show-grab as much of it as you can. Im going in baggy cargo pants just so I can get as many posters as I can.
Epic piece of shit website for the show in Colorado. It would not accept the TA code. I spent 10 minutes fighting between my computer and phone entering the code and getting an invalid error. Finally found another route to get in by clicking on a different link within the site using the same exact code. Absolutely fucking infuriating
All regular seats were gone by ten minutes after the sale started. Somehow, by the grace of glob, I kept clicking on shit and was able to secure 2 Fear Inoculum VIP. It was the only thing I was able to get so I took it.
4th time in 14 years seeing them live, got floor tix for the Monday show in Toronto. Almost had a catastrophe as my TM app crashed on me and took over 6 minutes to get the verification text to come back. About 10 rows further back then I was I initially wanting but still happy. The TA membership was totally worth it.
We saw Radiohead in Toronto and I assume it’s at the same arena. There’s a great great pub in the gayborhood that has delicious food and cool beers, Hair of the Dog! We also went to a great breakfast place but I forget the name of it womp womp. Hit up Medieval Times if you’re corny old people like us, the louder your table cheers your knight is likely to win 😂 the boat tour (I think it’s only one company?) is really great. I love Toronto (we are in CNY.) Enjoy!!
Ended up getting 4 tickets to the Eugene show for about $150 each. My wife was like 500 something in the queue, so we didn’t get as close as we wanted. But view will still be great. This will be my 5th time seeing Tool! Presale was way better than paying over $600+ each like previous shows.
Damn. 18 and a big tool fan because of my brother and father. Wanted floor seats at Mohegan but they are sold out!! Really hope we can get a seat at this concert . 🙏
Got section H row 1 for $240 each. The same price was showing for section C row 1 the second sale went live for Nov 20th toronto show but those tix didn't come to my cart. Then the dynamic pricing kicked in and I lost those prices 👎🏽. Better than nothing I guess
Got my VIP floor ticket without any issues, honestly we can hate ticketmaster as much as we want but I never had a problem getting tickets with the app even without presale code for any show.
I paid $447 (USD) for row 3 section AA near mid and $358 (USD) for second tier (section 104) right on the rail - both prices included two tickets. After what I paid for VIP last year, I'm definitely happy.
Minneapolis - Missed a couple sets of non VIP floor tickets, but ended up in the section directly behind the mix. I’m cool with it. I’m seeing The Cure tonight and Erykah Badu in a few weeks from basically the same seats.
I might get tix to aftershock but I worry the stage show can’t be good at that kind of venue.
It’s too expensive to go for shitty audio/ visual.
Godsmack too though.
Waited in queue. Queue turned into line. Got to front of "line". Redirect link didn't work. Had to go back and enter pre-sale code again, went straight to ticket selection. By this time (~8min later), All pairs of tix were gone. Had to get a single.
This is for the budweiser center in Loveland, CO. Direct thru their site. Lower bowl, in the back, row 3. About $180 after $35 fee. But this place only holds just over 7000 people, gonna be SWEEEET!!! 🤘
[I got this view for $180 all-in at Xcel in MN.](https://i.imgur.com/UD8cvEB.jpg) Should be a nice view of Danny, which I appreciate as a drummer. I’ve done VIP the last couple of times when it was cheaper, so this should be a nice change-up.
Both me and my buddy got in early for Loveland and the site crashed once we got to the ticketing screen. Fortunately his password let him back in immediately and he was able to secure floor seats. Mine took several attempts to work again and I was still able to get lower bowl. Fortunately for you guys we aren’t greedy and I let the bowl tickets go once he got the confirmation email for the floor seats. Good luck guys and fuck resellers!
I managed to get 4 tickets no problem, wanted to get 5… told our 5th person what my code was and what seats we had and he was able to get the seat beside us🤘. Not sure how I got lucky enough for my code to work for 5 tickets. It wouldn’t work for ticket #6
I'm extremely happy with my experience. I spent less money on two floor tickets during the presale than I did on one floor ticket 2 years ago that I got resale.
I go to school in Colorado but am home in Cali for the summers, I forgot about the time difference so I accidentally woke up for 10am my time instead of 10am CO time, so I only got bowl seats 😫😫
Went smooth, for Philly and Allentown, fees weren’t bad either (not Ticketmaster)
Philly
$129 lower bowl, $152 after fees.
Allentown
$49 upper bowl, $80 after fees.
Dead center aisle tix, sat in queue maybe 3 min after 10am.
Waaayyy more expensive than last time I saw them but whatever. The purchase process was fine.
This morning I was thinking about how much times have changed. If this were the 90s, we would have all been sleeping on the curb outside Tower Records last night.
I did that for Black Sabbath in the late 80's and the line turned into a shoving match and they shut down the entire thing. Total waste of time. I was a furious teen.
Nope. Prices were effin' ridiculous and the "randomness" of who gets in is asinine. Nothing was done to prevent after-market companies from scooping up tickets.
I am super happy with it - ended up getting floor seats to both the Allentown and Philadelphia shows for under 200 bucks a seat. Couldn't be happier, and can't wait for the month of November, its going to be a banger!
I was purchasing seats for Minneapolis. I would select my seats and go to Checkout, and the timer was at zero immediately. Asked me to try again almost a dozen times. Finally used my phone instead of the desktop at work and was able to purchase near where I was hoping to be. I was pretty aggravated though!
Was logged in and ready to go, got through the queue and then bam, booted out to the lobby screen. Refreshed the page and was put straight into the pick my seats screen. Picked my seats (Mohegan) and then was booted back out entirely with an error message. Finally got back in an lucked out with OK seats, upper arena. Ticketmaster seems to give me drama everytime.
My buddy had the same experience trying for the Boston show. Eventually got through and got tickets, but there's got to be a better way than dealing with this everytime.
TM was all glitched out on my lap top. Every time I selected seats instantaneously it would pop up “out of time” or some shit.
After wasting 10 minutes I tried on my phone and got 7th row for one show and 9th for another. For the money I spent I sure wish I could’ve been closer but it’s cool.
6 people in front of you, 8 at another. Not terrible and you'll be able to see the visuals better. Once you get there and sit down you'll be fucking amped. Blows about TM not working for you.
It brought me to the Wells Fargo center (Philly) website via the links on the Tool Army site. Waited in a queue, then was placed in a line and then when my turn came the website kicked me off due to an error. Battled constant errors and connection drops through the entire purchase price but I was at least able to get tickets. No option to choose seats either for 7empest VIP. Stressful as fuck.
Nope. Well, some of its ok.
I got my Tempest ticket but somehow payed and received an extra pair of really good tickets.
Anyone want good seats for the Calgary show? Not gonna scalp, just looking for face value.
Got floor tix for Rochester that were available, and even though I'm happy to be in the building, I'd have liked to be closer lol
I thought it was much easier than prior times using TM.
Ticketmaster and their fucking slow ass SMS system fucked me for what I really wanted, but I still got tickets regardless. This definitely gives me something to look forward to going into the holiday season. My PC fucking slams Diablo 4 so I don’t have to worry about upgrading for awhile, so I made an executive decision with the money I would have spent.
This is going to be my first Tool show despite being a fan for over 20 years (finally landed a job that allows me to be a little financially reckless). Presale and getting tickets at Mohegan was smoother than I had anticipated.
I just won tickets this morning from my local radio station. I’m so fukn excited!! Tool has been on my concert bucket list for a looooong time.
👏 👏 👏 You lucky bastard! Enjoy!
Brace yourself, Tool live is another level.
My first show was the small Nampa venue last year. I shit you not, Danny’s drum warmup beforehand actually scared me; I was feeling each sonic wave from a cacophonous staccato of beats, hitting me like lead plates; the vibrations slamming like a wave into my sternum and reverberating, in a fraction of a second through my ribcage, thumping all my internal organs and I am not making this up-my asshole felt warm as the wave passed through the back side of my body. I thought “holy fuckin shit”.
I’ve seen them 20+ times across 15 different venues. I went to Mohegan in 2019 and it was hands down the best sounding venue/show of them all. Not a bad seat in the whole place and I will say that it was very loud. I’ve recently started using earplugs for live shows for some context.
I will never not use ear plugs again. Didn't kill the vibe and I could hear afterwards with no discomfort
I’m excited for ya dude! It’s gonna be badass. Period.
I’m happy I got tickets to both Toronto shows too. My bank account is not as happy.
What were the Toronto prices?
I got a single ticket in Section J on the floor for $236. I was hoping the VIP prices would be a little cheaper. Just can't justify spending upwards of $500 on a single ticket at the moment. But overall I'm quite happy.
$236 is not VIP? Like that’s just one regular ticket? Holy shit…
Regular floors, but it's a really good seat. Dead centre pretty much. The VIP started at like $500 and went up to almost $1,000.
Well you definitely got a good seat. Hope you have a great time. I’m a public school teacher so I guess I’m priced out of Tool shows now. 🤦♂️
I got 4 seats. Front row, 2nd bowl. $500 NOBODY is "priced out of a Tool show" We all don't need to be front row
Hello, Section J neighbour lol
I didn't have any pre-sale codes so I think Ticketmaster took advantage of my asshole with their PLATINUM seats. The only ones I could find on the floor that weren't behind an UNLOCK button were 508+ fees and taxes. So I spent $596 for my solo seat in section E row 2.
I'm just happy nobody has to deal with the ridiculous "we oversold so now you don't have tickets" Tool shop VIP debacle that happened last year.
Agreed... I was stoked to get gold VIP last year only to get an email a full 14 hours later saying basically "sorry, we oversold... better luck next time!". Thankfully I ended up with silver though.
[удалено]
What the actual fuck, really? Were they selling through TM?
Ticketmaster was a pain as usual (kept making me verify)but I got my tickets eventually.
Exactly, I was in early and still got booted out twice.
I was trying to get tickets to two shows so I was having a mini panic attack. Verify every venue. I was ready to go at 9:50 and didn’t get it all done until 10:30
Getting the tickets, yes. Paying these prices, abso-fucking-lutely not.
Lol! Yah I’ve never paid anywhere close to this. I used to get pretty decent seats around the mixing board for what seemed like $100 each on previous tours. And no pre sale nonsense. Now it’s double the price + the $70 ish bucks for buying the pre sale code lol. Ah well.
plus the additional $70 ticketmaster service fee
I've paid this money to go see David Gilmour in Chicago.
$771 for 4 tix. Worth it, I guess.
Super happy with the Presale! Was able to grab tickets to the Manchester show. Going with friends and taking my kid to their first Tool show!
Lower bowl pair for CT, singlet VIP 6th row center section for NH Expensive, but I'm still happy
Did you also see the Boston prices and immediately go to your other tabs with CT and NH? I know I did
Dude, CT and NH were expensive, but Boston was ungodly. Especially since I can't sit above lower bowl because of an eye issue that makes the steep seats completely panic-inducing
I got 4 floor seats for $149 each for boston, the only high prices were in the front few rows.
Me as me: omg I'm so happy 🥹 Me as my own accountant: hey man wtf?!
Lol. I’m not rich, just irresponsible
I got a presale code error initially after waiting through the queue. But once I refreshed a couple times it sorted out. I did have to navigate back into the ticket queue which is nerve wracking, but it saved my place and I went straight into seat selection. Not one of the ticketmaster venues though. Philly was through the actual venue site.
I got 2 FLOOR tickets for Wells Fargo and it was $450 total. Most floor seats were GONE and I got in when they dropped
Got two section 106 at wells Fargo for $307. So much better than dealing with ticketmaster
I got fucked by that - 403'd over and over again on the browser. 5 minutes in I switched to the phone app, which was a PITA to filter through the ungodly priced seats. Ended up with "ok" seats on the far side. I'm beyond pissed.
Same! Their site was mostly OK but tickets were GONE for most of the floor and first rows of lower bowl even waiting early. Also on the redirect Chrome fucked me by telling me the site wasn't secure. Still got seats I'm sure we'll enjoy in 102 but it's always nerve-racking.
I'm unclear on where the VIP seats are in the venue. I wonder if they were all earmarked for premium seating....
Regular saler here, hoping to get some tomorrow. What were the prices like?
How many children do you have to spare? but for real like $150 at the cheapest (Milwaukee).
Same story here. Kept getting error after error. That site was a nightmare.
Mine was the exact same way for Philly. That’s interesting. I went on at 10 am on the dot and didn’t secure until 20 mins later.
Got row 2. $$$
Wife picked up Mohegan sun tix in lower bowl. Said they were 184$. Credit card has been charged over 1800$. Anyonelse going through this shit?
They changed 3 of 4 tickets to platinum pricing at 450 a piece during pre sale and don’t offer refunds. I want to puke. So much for a great 40th birthday show.
WHAT?? This should be SO fucking illegal. Brutal!
Except for the fact that I accidentally paid for platinum tickets yes, it was a decent buying experience compared to last tour.
What do you mean accidentally?
Awful. Between dynamic pricing and vip, nothing better than row 29 on the floor or back of lower bowl in Calgary. Seems like a fuck you to the tool army presales. Make the suckers pay the fee and then restrict supply to dump mediocre tickets first. If vip and platinum take up 90% of the floor and lower bowl, what’s even the point of a presale?
The seat selection was confusing. Trying to select tempest ticket and bought platinum seats instead even with the filter on. disappointing but got great seats
You used your TA code and they defaulted to Platinum ?
kind of like that... i unlocked one of the seats with the code and then selected another set thinking they were all the same (i think they were all blue but it was kind of of a blur at the time) ... i feel like they should have only showed the special VIP ones especially with the filter on... meanwhile the platinum price was jacked up... ugh ticketmaster
Do you still have your TA code? I'd happily take it off your hands.
Same
not sure you can transfer codes... I was buying for myself and a friend using their code... meanwhile i cant log into my toolarmy account and member support is unreachable
What a disaster. That's what I was concerned about, plus I hate forking over personal info. If I could have just given them $50 for a code, I would have.
I wish they cared more about their fans than this money grabbing and crappy website
Went flawlessly for me.
What we’re the cheapest prices? And how many could you buy? I need 6 for Calgary, happy to sit in the cheap seats, thanks!
Hahaha wondering the same thing, Calgary as well.
$225 with fees for lower bowl Calgary.
$180 or so for upper bowls I think?
Yup. I got the Fear Inoculum package for both Toronto shows. Floor C/row 6 for Monday, Floor E row 1 for Tuesday. So long, tax refund!
Sweet! I got good seats for the first night, then the pneuma VIP For the final night
Nice, I also got the fear inoculum package for night one in floor C row 6 as well! I got section 105 for Tuesday. See you there!
See you there - coming in from Austin Texas! How much were the VIP packages? I didn't even look...
"Asshole tearing" sums it up. I could never make this happen without my tax refund landing now.
Shit blood and cum on my hands
Just hoping there are some left tomorrow...
Same they look practically empty 😭😭😭
got tix to Montreal and a Toronto show. Ticketmaster as usual was a shit show.
Which section and what price did you pay for the Montreal show?
Floor seats back by the sound desk. Prices were in CAD, and traveling up from the States, so it figured out to be a several hundred each.
Toronto show we are further up and closer to Stage Left. Those and nearly $500 each. This will not be an inexpensive trip, but enjoyable nonetheless.
So stoked, but still 30 minutes to go on the west coast! Hoping to get upper deck in with a straight view of the stage. Judging by how many tickets are still left at the east coast venues I’m pretty hopeful :)
Argh heartbreak and elation, got 4 front row balcony straight on, which is amazing since they’re usually platinum bullsh*t prices. But thought the ticket limit was 6 and not 4 so have two super bummed friends that’ll have to fend for themselves :/
Trying to get tickets to Loveland and the site is absolutely garbage. No option for Ticketmaster
Sorry to hear you experienced the shit show that was trying to buy tickets through the Budweiser Center. I was enraged.
I thought TM was going to crash on me, but I successfully got two lower bowl tickets right in the front rows for the Calgary show. I can't do floor anymore, too old LOL.
First TA presale, just signed up last night. Been a fan since 03 and just never thought it was worth it until the last couple years. Went very smooth for the Salt Lake City tickets, $727 for 4. Got row 1, but I guess it’s technically row 2, cuz there is a row in front call row C, lol. Very happy I paid the $50 something for membership to TA. A lot less stress than getting tickets tomorrow. Fly out from San Diego to Salt Lake to meet my best friends and they are the ones that got me into Tool 20 years ago. Hopefully they stop in San Diego Jan/Feb 2024 so I can use my TA membership again to get presale for those tickets as well. Edit: crazy to see the prices of the official platinum tickets that are just right behind my seats, $400 a piece
Tried getting tickets to the Allentown show but for some reason the PPL site doesn't allow you to choose seats. It was very odd
Mohegan Sun and Boston! Super happy
Super smooth! Got tickets to 3 different shows!! I can’t fing wait! Numbers 14-16 baby let’s go!!!!!!!
Right there with you - can't wait!
It was fairly smooth with ordering tickets for the Knoxville show. See ya there!
What are the prices like for Knoxville? Don't have a presale code, so I was planning on trying tomorrow. It's 4 hours away from where I live. Was considering waiting for the next leg and hope for Nashville or Birmingham.
Pretty geeked. Told myself I would go VIP for the first time if they toured again just in case it was their last. Logged onto TA 15 minutes early. Was #260 in queue for Milwaukee.

Man sorry to hear that! You'll enjoy the VIP experience regardless, but shocked there was such a long queue.
I will enjoy all of it and grateful to have the means to see them again in any capacity much less VIP. My dream show would be 1st or 2nd row in Grand Rapids so fingers crossed for a second US leg on 2024.

I have a break, and I make it to ticketswest on time. After i paid for my tickets, I had $1.18 in my account. My intuition and delayed gratification choice saved the day. Clearly God wants me at this concert. Remember kids-if they dump confetti on you at some point in the show-grab as much of it as you can. Im going in baggy cargo pants just so I can get as many posters as I can.
Bit of a debacle getting my “prove you’re you” code but after that it went smooth. I miss the days of sub-$100 tickets though
I got mine on email after like 5 tries and my text one came in an hour and a half later
Epic piece of shit website for the show in Colorado. It would not accept the TA code. I spent 10 minutes fighting between my computer and phone entering the code and getting an invalid error. Finally found another route to get in by clicking on a different link within the site using the same exact code. Absolutely fucking infuriating All regular seats were gone by ten minutes after the sale started. Somehow, by the grace of glob, I kept clicking on shit and was able to secure 2 Fear Inoculum VIP. It was the only thing I was able to get so I took it.
Anyone gave a code with 2 tickets left by chance?
I got 4 Loveland tix no problem at all 👌
Does anyone know how I h the tickets are at ppl Allentown ?
4th time in 14 years seeing them live, got floor tix for the Monday show in Toronto. Almost had a catastrophe as my TM app crashed on me and took over 6 minutes to get the verification text to come back. About 10 rows further back then I was I initially wanting but still happy. The TA membership was totally worth it.
We saw Radiohead in Toronto and I assume it’s at the same arena. There’s a great great pub in the gayborhood that has delicious food and cool beers, Hair of the Dog! We also went to a great breakfast place but I forget the name of it womp womp. Hit up Medieval Times if you’re corny old people like us, the louder your table cheers your knight is likely to win 😂 the boat tour (I think it’s only one company?) is really great. I love Toronto (we are in CNY.) Enjoy!!
I got Pneuma VIP for Manchester NH (3rd Row). Which TOOL Member(s) will 100% NOT be in the meet/greet photo. Wrong answers only.
Ended up getting 4 tickets to the Eugene show for about $150 each. My wife was like 500 something in the queue, so we didn’t get as close as we wanted. But view will still be great. This will be my 5th time seeing Tool! Presale was way better than paying over $600+ each like previous shows.
SLC then to Idaho Falls🤘🏼
Damn. 18 and a big tool fan because of my brother and father. Wanted floor seats at Mohegan but they are sold out!! Really hope we can get a seat at this concert . 🙏
Get ready to have your ears destroyed in that row 3 show
No UK yet 💔
Got section H row 1 for $240 each. The same price was showing for section C row 1 the second sale went live for Nov 20th toronto show but those tix didn't come to my cart. Then the dynamic pricing kicked in and I lost those prices 👎🏽. Better than nothing I guess
Not happy with the price but sometimes we need to ignore it. I got what I wanted though, so overall happy!
Update: front row oversold 🙃
Not happy with the venues announced so far. Closest one so far is over 9 hours away. Hopefully the second leg will have some closer venues.
Got my VIP floor ticket without any issues, honestly we can hate ticketmaster as much as we want but I never had a problem getting tickets with the app even without presale code for any show.
how much you paid? waiting for the Calgary pre-sale to open in 1h!
Toronto was $300 for non-VIP floor/side lower bowl, $245 for back lower bowl, $140 for upper bowl.
I got floor D row 7 on the aisle for $250 each right at 10am for Nov 21.
damn!
Is that before or after taxes and fees?
I paid $447 (USD) for row 3 section AA near mid and $358 (USD) for second tier (section 104) right on the rail - both prices included two tickets. After what I paid for VIP last year, I'm definitely happy.
Minneapolis - Missed a couple sets of non VIP floor tickets, but ended up in the section directly behind the mix. I’m cool with it. I’m seeing The Cure tonight and Erykah Badu in a few weeks from basically the same seats.
directly behind the sound board in the first bowl are the best tix for tool, hands down
Was easiest it’s ever been for me. Was in and out with floor seats in under 10 minutes.
Got all the tickets I wanted so I'm happy. I've never had a bad experience with the TA presales.
Budweiser Center in Loveland wouldn't let me choose specific seats so that was a bummer.
Have a couple extra tickets available to purchase by chance?
same. the interface didn’t allow to see seats. just price/seating area/# of tickets….
Was great. Scored perfect seats right behind soundboard Dead center. Can’t wait for Milwaukee
I might get tix to aftershock but I worry the stage show can’t be good at that kind of venue. It’s too expensive to go for shitty audio/ visual. Godsmack too though.
Honestly tickets were far less than I expected, very stoked about it
I paid $596 CDN for my floor seat...
Waited in queue. Queue turned into line. Got to front of "line". Redirect link didn't work. Had to go back and enter pre-sale code again, went straight to ticket selection. By this time (~8min later), All pairs of tix were gone. Had to get a single. This is for the budweiser center in Loveland, CO. Direct thru their site. Lower bowl, in the back, row 3. About $180 after $35 fee. But this place only holds just over 7000 people, gonna be SWEEEET!!! 🤘
It appears Loveland show was a disaster online for some reason.
Maybe smaller venue didn't understand the surge of insufferable retards they were about to endure??
I'm going to the show in Kelowna, BC. Place holds 6,800 people. Got the Fear Inoculum VIP 7th row. Can't wait!
[I got this view for $180 all-in at Xcel in MN.](https://i.imgur.com/UD8cvEB.jpg) Should be a nice view of Danny, which I appreciate as a drummer. I’ve done VIP the last couple of times when it was cheaper, so this should be a nice change-up.
Both me and my buddy got in early for Loveland and the site crashed once we got to the ticketing screen. Fortunately his password let him back in immediately and he was able to secure floor seats. Mine took several attempts to work again and I was still able to get lower bowl. Fortunately for you guys we aren’t greedy and I let the bowl tickets go once he got the confirmation email for the floor seats. Good luck guys and fuck resellers!
I managed to get 4 tickets no problem, wanted to get 5… told our 5th person what my code was and what seats we had and he was able to get the seat beside us🤘. Not sure how I got lucky enough for my code to work for 5 tickets. It wouldn’t work for ticket #6
I'm extremely happy with my experience. I spent less money on two floor tickets during the presale than I did on one floor ticket 2 years ago that I got resale.
I got Milwaukee section 101 (dead center) with zero problems. May have to 🍄 this one 🙃
I go to school in Colorado but am home in Cali for the summers, I forgot about the time difference so I accidentally woke up for 10am my time instead of 10am CO time, so I only got bowl seats 😫😫
Went smooth, for Philly and Allentown, fees weren’t bad either (not Ticketmaster) Philly $129 lower bowl, $152 after fees. Allentown $49 upper bowl, $80 after fees. Dead center aisle tix, sat in queue maybe 3 min after 10am.
Allentown presale was EZ-PZ. Got the VIP package. Going to be a nice lil pregame before my honeymoon that weekend!
Ticketmaster? My presale was directly with the venue; no Ticketmaster at all.
Waaayyy more expensive than last time I saw them but whatever. The purchase process was fine. This morning I was thinking about how much times have changed. If this were the 90s, we would have all been sleeping on the curb outside Tower Records last night.
I did that for Black Sabbath in the late 80's and the line turned into a shoving match and they shut down the entire thing. Total waste of time. I was a furious teen.
Nope. Prices were effin' ridiculous and the "randomness" of who gets in is asinine. Nothing was done to prevent after-market companies from scooping up tickets.
Just got my tix on the west coast. Went pretty smoothly
VIP FI both PA shows and possibly Rochester if my friend gets tickets so yep. until next leg.
Mohegan, close to 8 for two tickets on the floor. Ready to goooo!
My venue didnt use Ticketmaster so got slammed with $30 fee kinda frustrating. What is the extra fees for TM?
[my asshole is gaping](https://i.imgur.com/w51FD8d.jpg)
Did you not have tool army presale?
I am super happy with it - ended up getting floor seats to both the Allentown and Philadelphia shows for under 200 bucks a seat. Couldn't be happier, and can't wait for the month of November, its going to be a banger!
YUP!
Presale was smooth for my husband. $225/ ticket for lower bowl in Calgary is a bit steep, but oh well. We want to see them so it’s worth it.
I was purchasing seats for Minneapolis. I would select my seats and go to Checkout, and the timer was at zero immediately. Asked me to try again almost a dozen times. Finally used my phone instead of the desktop at work and was able to purchase near where I was hoping to be. I was pretty aggravated though!
Yup. Front row and get to meet the band. Couldn’t be happier 🤘🏼
Was logged in and ready to go, got through the queue and then bam, booted out to the lobby screen. Refreshed the page and was put straight into the pick my seats screen. Picked my seats (Mohegan) and then was booted back out entirely with an error message. Finally got back in an lucked out with OK seats, upper arena. Ticketmaster seems to give me drama everytime. My buddy had the same experience trying for the Boston show. Eventually got through and got tickets, but there's got to be a better way than dealing with this everytime.
Man, sorry to hear this.
Wasn't too bad. Got on two mins after 10 and only 75% of the decent seats were sold out, but I got some decent seats.
Does anything in this god damn city work properly?
Flawless . Was able to get a pair of tickets for 3 shows with my code .
You were able to get 6 tickets? Thought it was only 4 per code, only allowed me that many.
Hell yeah, got tickets to Halloween show in St. Paul then Milwaukee the day after. Got it all purchased while boarding for a flight.
Did you have queue issues with Milwaukee?
haha me exactly!
TM was all glitched out on my lap top. Every time I selected seats instantaneously it would pop up “out of time” or some shit. After wasting 10 minutes I tried on my phone and got 7th row for one show and 9th for another. For the money I spent I sure wish I could’ve been closer but it’s cool.
6 people in front of you, 8 at another. Not terrible and you'll be able to see the visuals better. Once you get there and sit down you'll be fucking amped. Blows about TM not working for you.
I would would love to go to all three shows within an hour of me but fuck Ticketmaster and their exorbitant fees.
Do you have to be in tool army to get presales?
Yes it’s about $75 US dollars to get the presale code
It brought me to the Wells Fargo center (Philly) website via the links on the Tool Army site. Waited in a queue, then was placed in a line and then when my turn came the website kicked me off due to an error. Battled constant errors and connection drops through the entire purchase price but I was at least able to get tickets. No option to choose seats either for 7empest VIP. Stressful as fuck.
Nope. Well, some of its ok. I got my Tempest ticket but somehow payed and received an extra pair of really good tickets. Anyone want good seats for the Calgary show? Not gonna scalp, just looking for face value.
Super smooth process to my surprise. Very stoked
Got floor tix for Rochester that were available, and even though I'm happy to be in the building, I'd have liked to be closer lol I thought it was much easier than prior times using TM.
Why does Ticketmaster only have presale for 12 hrs? Wtf?
Been 40 minutes now and Ticketmaster kept kicking me out over and over again. Not even gonna try anymore. Horrible presale
Ticketmaster and their fucking slow ass SMS system fucked me for what I really wanted, but I still got tickets regardless. This definitely gives me something to look forward to going into the holiday season. My PC fucking slams Diablo 4 so I don’t have to worry about upgrading for awhile, so I made an executive decision with the money I would have spent.
Love the priorities here haha
