Let's see... mall opens at 10. Tickets go on sale at 12. Damn, I'm gonna be waking up early for this one.

I'm prepared this time though, gonna go pick up some of my friends and take shifts waiting in line. Piece of cake. 3.5 hours of waiting in line is nothing. Better safe than sorry.

So you're going to actually go to ticketmaster? Is that a better plan than ordering by phone/internet?

Alright, my friend and I are going to this concert. He goes to the University of Minnesota, so he can run over to the Orpheum Theater.

If he gets there a little early, does anyone thing getting the tickets at the venue instead of online is a bad idea?

A better suggestion is to find an obscure ticketmaster outlet that won't be lined up. But yes, definitely better to go to an outlet rather than online. Not necessarily the actual venue though.

Why not the actual venue? What's the difference between going to a Ticketmaster outlet and the Orpheum?

SayOw

Why not the actual venue? What's the difference between going to a Ticketmaster outlet and the Orpheum?

I think there is no difference if the venue is using the Ticketmaster system. Seats are locked in (and out) on the same system at the same time so it would make no difference where you were trying to purchase....that's why if you knew of a remote Ticketmaster location where there'd be no one waiting for tickets, might be your best bet...

I live in ND and am going to try to get in online right at noon on Saturday but I know it is probably highly unlikely to get tickets that way...so I got 3 friends that are going to the Orpheum to wait in line...

Anyone know what time people will begin lining up? Or has the line already started?

And what's the over/under for how fast this show sells out? I'm guessing 5 minutes...

mjk_462

It will sell out as fast as the ticketmaster server can handle that information through those tiny strings of glass we call fiber optics... 2-4 minutes :)

Yeah, I'm in Fargo. I have to work tomorrow so I'll be trying to get some via ticketmaster.com
I suppose if I had to I could get off for an hour to actually go try to get tickets at an outlet. If that is a better idea.

To be honest I'm a little less excited for this show after hearing the album but I already told my friend who hasn't heard it yet that we are going. The guy lives out in the middle of nowhere where there's no broadband as well, so I cant send it to him. And I can't very well tell him "uhh, this album sucks a little, lets not go"

And he's just going to HATE it, whereas I am just mildly disappointed. He's the kind of guy that wants Tool to rock hard for an entire album.

So anyway, do you think I should sit at work trying to get tickets on the internet or go down to Marshall Fields? Or what is the most obscure outlet in fargo, for you ND people?

For ticketmaster venues, it doesn't matter when you get in line, they do a random number system for everyone who shows up 30 minutes before they go on sale. I don't think it's any different for the orpheum, I'm gonna call them tonight. If it's first come first serve, i'll go wait in line right after work :P


edit, they dont do a number generator.

It's probably physically impossible to sell out that fast :P Since holds are placed on potential orders and such, tickets aren't available for 5 mins once you start the buying process. I'm sure more than a few people somehow screwed up, and freed up tickets;p

i dont think a lot of people from the toronto thread would appreciate you saying that.

sure, maybe a few are released back but the chances of you being the first one to refresh after that are slim.

Hey everyone. Going to try for tickets online. Will practice by seeing what the traffic is like for Texas (10 AM) and Chicago (11 AM). Will let you know how it turns out...HOOK ME UP IF I CAN"T FIND TIX THANKS!

Perhaps I'm just new to this...but how is it possible that there are no less than 12 auctions on ebay for pairs of tickets to this show? They aren't on sale yet! How could these folks possible procure them? This angers me.

Yes, needless to say I'm worried too. Trying the online/phone combo route.
I'm going to assume I wont get tickets and be pleasantly suprised if I do.
I dont know how the ebay deal is like that. Those people might not have the tickets and are assuming they will. I think they can just cancel them if they dont get the tickets, right?

Nope, none here either. Sat at ticketmaster.com refereshing every .005 seconds right up until 11:59:59, got in, everything gone. Also had bf dialing over and over on the phone and nothing. However, there's 43 tickets available on ebay.com (300+) Too bad I'm a poor ass college student. If anyone's selling extra tickets at a reasonable price, shoot me a private message. Thanks. Good luck and grats whoever actually got tickets.

that's not possible, i tried buying them seconds after 12PM and they were sold out, as well as outlets in iowa were also sold out within a matter of seconds, definately less than a minute. The orpheum office probably has a reserve amount that they are allowed selling.

I was able to get 1 ticket on ticketmaster.com. After a few tries, I switched the section from best available to balcony. My seat is section 8 row D. Has anyone been to this venue? Are there any cameras allowed?

SadSummerSea
04-22-2006, 04:13 PM
its a tool show man. they're always pretty strict about cameras but if you have something thin enough to shove in your underwear you might get away with it.

keep your flash off if you dont want to risk maynard walking off stage and if you're using a digital - get something to black out your preview screen. if security sees you snapping pictures they're likely to take it from you, and a seated venue only makes it easier for them to see/find you.

SayOw
04-23-2006, 06:48 AM
I don't think any tickets were available via Ticketmaster.com and if you did get some, you were a lucky one... I and about 8 others I know were trying online right at noon and not one of us were able to get tickets.

I had 2 friends that went to an outlet (out of state) and they did get 4 tickets, 2 in the second row center and 2 in the last row balcony...purchased 30 seconds apart...

I think this show sold out in under 2 minutes...certainly it was as fast as the tickets could be physically sold...

Here is something to piss some people off! Friend of mine (luckily) snagged 2 tickets online, just off the aisle in row E :) So we were pumped but another guy that was going to go with us didnt get anything, so i headed to the weight room for a couple hours, came back, showered, played some MVP baseball 05 and at 5:13 pm. gave ticketmaster a shot. i walked away, turned around about a minute later only to see a screen that was different, i walked closer and it said "we are holding this ticket for you for 2 minutes..." and i spastically entered my info and got another ticket, first row, middle balcony section! i was stunned

I was on a cruise in the Bahamas the day ticks went on sale (Sat) so I gave some very detailed instructions to my gf so we could get tickets. Of course I called her from the ship phone in my room (cost me 27 bucks for a three minute call!!!) and she said there was good news and there was bad news. She said the good news was that I was going to the show. After that, I didn't give a crap what the bad news was lol. The bad news was that she was only able to get 1 ticket, but I will be going to my very first Tool show and am happy it's at such a small venue! I love the new CD by the way

I'm down for doin a before/after party type thing. I don't work at all on Friday, and am planning to make the trip up there from Iowa. It pry will take 3-4 hours to get up there. I will pry be staying at the Radisson Hotel since it is so close. The Ramada Inn is a little closer(going off of what maps show online for both hotels) but doesn't seem like the great hotel out there. I guess i'd rather spend a little more for a better place to sleep. So if anyone wants to meet up someplace i'll be down.

I have no clue where anything is at in Minneapolis at all though. I'm up for a couple beers or somethin someplace. Does Minneapolis have an Old Chicago?? I've heard they have tons of beers to choose from. Or is there anyplace that is like that in town?

i dont have tickets (yet) but i will be standing around with bugged out eyes and a silly grin waiting for a portal to open. I WILL be inside this show, like orbitz, no matter what! ; )
I should note that i have been unable to see Tool live yet, yet sometime around christmas "i have a dream..." of seeing them play. I have seen APC 13th step at the Excel, but in my dream the venue was much smaller, now that i have been to the Orpheum (Le Miserables) it just sendsshivers(flashbacks blame hofmann) down my spine...
also upon waking i perchased Regardie's The Golden Dawn with my christmas giftcard to Borders

If anyone knows Enochian() i really need to talk to the lord of the grasshoppers and could use some help, pm me!

Radisson is much nicer, I have stayed in both. I am not aware of an Old Chicago real close, but there are many bars/ sit down restaraunts with good atmosphere around there. That part of Minneapolis is really a cool place to go, sometimes friends and I make the trip over from Hamline University in St. paul and just walk around, cool place. Anyone who hasnt been here will enjoy it I think.

Soounds cool. So who is down for a meet-up type thing? Like I said. I'd def do it. Drink some beers before the show, and chat with fellow tool lovers. I'm still wishing on getting a second ticket for my good friend. He will pry even make the trip up to try and score one for a reasonable price.
