The real question is who is going to be a real Tool soldier and get down the box office at 7 am in the D with me? Come on folks the Fox Theatre, along side the Masonic Temple, is "the" place to have a show in Detroit. It is going to be "An Evening w/ Tool" that is for sure. Possibly playing the entire new album, a longer set?, or just what is seen at Coachella?

[slicknickshady]

www.ticketmaster.com and if that dont work i will find a ticket broker. i live in jackson and dont drive so next question?

[Vexom]

ok, so its the Fox Theater right? I have never been there is it all seating or is the bottom floor standing?

[Vexom]

also, why does ticketmaster not list this one yet while they do list most of the other locations?

[slicknickshady]

All Seating.

also, why does ticketmaster not list this one yet while they do list most of the other locations?

be patient, it will be up.

i wish you luck on sat morning and you do the same for me and hopefully we will both end up with our tickets without going to brokers.

[Vexom]

I wish you all the luck as well. I have little experience when it comes to this, what are the better odds do you think, going to a ticket master location here in Grand Rapids or trying online? Unfortunatly I can't make a trip to Detroit just for the tickets.

[slicknickshady]

well what a buddy told me during the last mini-tour there was a ticketmaster in jackson. 30 people waited in line and only the first two got tickets. i would say online but i really dont know. do both if you have the ability. ask your friends or something to ry online while you go or vice versa.

[SAGET]

slicknick...sent you a pm

[slicknickshady]

check out an email i just got. it's sort of like the other ones i just think it's cool.

[Tayloe41800]

[slicknickshady]

Saturday cant come soon enough i'm paranoid that i wont get tickets. My Prozac is not help and either is the Xanex.

VENUE INFO
Built in the 1920’s and restored in 1987 by the Ilitch family, this Detroit landmark is a truly unique place to see a show. Just seeing the lobby of the Fox Theatre can almost justify the price of a ticket. From the red velvet, gold leaf walls and ornate chandeliers, it feels as you have walked into another era. Once a great movie house, the Fox is used today to host top performers in entertainment from musicals, plays, comedians, children’s shows and concerts. If one should attend a concert here you almost feel out of place drinking a beer and rocking out. The Fox really wasn’t built for rock bands so if you are not really close the sound tends to be a bit echo-y and muddy at times. --Matthew Caruana

I was looking and you know wings stadium only holds 113 more then the foxtheatre and tool played it in during the arena tour in 2001. I was not a fan of tool untill 2002.

http://www.gofox.com/tickets/Venue.php?state=Michigan

[slicknickshady]

Hopefully ticketmaster get's it on it's site soon.

[thevirusunknown]

Tool played Wings Stadium on October 18, 2002. And no, I didn't have to look it up, I just remember. Just like they played Van Andel Arena on September 13, 2001. But seeing that its only 113 seats bigger is somewhat reasurring.... I think I'm gonna get tickets for this and the Chicago show.

[marcus]

Get them online, unless you have dial-up. They will be gone very fast.

[slicknickshady]

Get them online, unless you have dial-up. They will be gone very fast.

Comcast Cable Internet Baby. Thats the fastest connection besides T connections.

[Vexom]

yeah, I'm staying at my school this weekend just for this as they have a crazy fast connection here especially on weekends when nobody is on it. I will be heart broken if I don't get these tickets and it sucks that there is a good chance of that happening :(

[slicknickshady]

well you can always get tickets if you shell out a nice amount of cash.

[Goldfoot]

Anyone know the ticket limit? I hope it's 4.

[slicknickshady]

I hope it'a 2. Then that means i will have a better chance at getting some. It is probably 4.

[awalkingwounded]

Any news on the opening acts....

Got this from Wikipedia,
"Isis will be joining Tool as the opening band for a few dates of a tour beginning after the release of Tool's new album, 10,000 Days."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isis_%28band%29


This will be the ultimate concert if this happens. Any info on this will be greatly appreciated.

[tigerf117]

I'm going to have me, and my g/f try right at 10am try on two different online vendors, both on cable connections. I might camp out, but I work usually till 7:30 am in the morning, so I don't think that'd be possible. If I have any extras, definitely post them up here. If anyone has any extras, and I don't get any, I will need two. Good luck everyone... may can't come quick enough.

[slicknickshady]

East Lansing WHAT! Go State!
Yeah i'll be on right at 10:00 on comcast cable connection.

[eboyer]

what do you think the best way of getting tickets for this show is... doing it online, on the phone, or camping out.

and how many of you are camping out at fox?

(and has there been any information on why they arnt on ticketmaster.com)

[slicknickshady]

Online

[Vexom]

East Lansing WHAT! Go State!
Yeah i'll be on right at 10:00 on comcast cable connection.
ha, I am currently going to State the connection here is pretty fast especially on weekends as everybody goes home so I hope it works out.

[slicknickshady]

my dad's had season tickets for spartan basketball for 25 years and i have been going with him for 14 years. they are still waiting on my 4th semester grades from jcc. it's my dream school. i'm allready into spring arbor and emu but i want MSU.

anyway yeah good luck to you and wish me luck also. i will be there no matter what. i'll pay $300.00 to a broker if i have to. we should get them from ticketmaster no problem though.

[marcus]

I am pissed about the face value as it is. If I can't get them at the face value, I will not be going at all.

/will still be online at 9:59 trying to get tickets
//10:59 for the chicago tix

[slicknickshady]

Yep I'll be online and logged at ticketmaster at 9:50 and i'll have a 100% correct clock. If i cant get them it's broker time.

I went the Community College way as well (saves money). This is my first year at MSU as I transfered from GRCC (Grand Rapids) in the fall.

Good luck at both getting into MSU and getting the Tool tickets hopefully I will see you at both. I hope your right about ticketmaster being no problem. I am going to have my friend try to get tickets at the same time so if I end up with 4 tickets instead of 2 you are on the top of my list to give them to at face value if you don't get yours.

thanks man. it's the biggest venue on the tour so we have a better chance then the people going to the other concerts on this tour.

[tigerf117]

There is a VERY good chance I'll be getting four tickets, I will post on here if I do. Going to be online right after work (730am) until 10am to get those tickets, and my girl will be on the other computer (both on comacast cable) trying to get 2 tickets, so we'll have either 1 or 2 extra (cepending on if my hardcore friend has money) tigerf117 = aim name, I live in east lansing, I will mail them no charge too.

[slicknickshady]

I have a feeling i will get them from ticketmaster. it's good to have options if it does not work out. I have comcast cable internet also. :)

[Vexom]

With the most seats of all the concerts it is also less likely that this one is one that the scalpers will target as much. Hopefully that means a lot of TDN members are able to get tickets.

[slicknickshady]

Just got this email from the theatre.

Don't mis Tool at the Fox Theatre!

In support of their upcoming CD release 10,000 Days, which hits stores on May 2, Tool will perform a handful of concert dates in the U.S., including a stop at Detroit's Fox Theatre at 8 p.m. May 15. In addition to today's concert announcement, Tool's new single "Vicarious" was shipped to radio.

Tickets ($66.66) go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 22 and may be purchased at the Fox Theatre and Joe Louis Arena box offices, Hockeytown Authentics in Troy and at all Ticketmaster locations, including Marshall Field's. Tickets may be charged by phone at (248) 433-1515 or purchase online by clicking the link below.

[toolniz]

does anyone know what the ticket limit will be?

[toolniz]

i just called the box office, ticket limit is 2 =(

[slicknickshady]

i just called the box office, ticket limit is 2 =(


Why are you pissed about this? This means we have a better shot at tickets. I'm ecstatic it's only 2 tickets.

[slicknickshady]

http://www.greattickets.com/buynow/tool.htm

broker released them for the detroit show.

[toolniz]

if you are only trying to get 1 or 2 tickets, yeah the limit will help, but i have a group of 8, so now instead of 2 people scoring tix, 4 people will need to now

[toolniz]

hey those broker tix u put up-$185/per, thats not as bad as i was expecting..

[slicknickshady]

hey those broker tix u put up-$185/per, thats not as bad as i was expecting..


well think about it. you have to buy a pair. you cant buy just one yet.

[Vexom]

I don't get how people have tickets already to sell, its a bit discouraging

[slicknickshady]

it's not that bad vexom. have confidence. :)

[tooljunky]

Id like to kow about those 6 tickets in row f5.
call the fox

[tooljunky]

So I just called The Fox and asked to speak to management.
I enquried about the 6 broker tickets on sale in row f5 for $185 bucks a peice.

Here is what I was told. The Fox Box office and employees have no way to access and/or hold tickets.

That being said, the only tickets that can be held are from the record label can pput holds.
in which she said, there are alot of holds on that show.
Im going to keep digging on this.

[slicknickshady]

i'm not going to worry about it. i have been to paranoid about getting two tickets. i'll get up and be on the site at about 9:50 and right at 10:00 i'll click 2 tickets and hopefully i get something. If not i'll just buy from a broker.

[Vexom]

I don't have the money for a broker so I really need to get the tickets Saturday, those comments by the Fox Box office are not good at all I think I may call them too.

[slicknickshady]

be confident vexom. we will get tickets. the venue seats 5,000.

[furlano]

If Toronto is any sign of things to come, these tickets will go in seconds. It just frustrates me that my chance of seeing Tool in an intimate (relative to arena tours) venue rides on the pure fluke of my signal reaching ticketmaster before many other hopefuls.

Toronto sold too many during the presale.

[slicknickshady]

Toronto sold too many during the presale.

Exactky, thats why i'm not more paranoid then i allready am. Toronto was the only one that had Presales.

[slicknickshady]

I'm gonna try to geet tickets for this one... do you think I'll get any?

Hopefully it will be after i get mine. lol. but yeah it's the biggest venue on the tour so it's a little more likely. If not i will just buy from a broker.

Sobot you should have skipped school today for your toronto tickets. :)

How far is your drive to detroit? Are you closer to windsor then Toronto? Because Windsors only like 2 hours from where im at. Detroits about 90 Minutes.

[slicknickshady]

I did skip, Period 2, but I got home just after 10, and it was all gone at 10:05

I'm much closer to Toronto, but my Dad will drive... plus he's got a lot of job sites that his business is working on in Detroit so he's gonna check them out... but if my friend's not allowed to go my dad wants to come watch. Detroit drive will only be 3 hours.

And why hopefully after you get yours?


I was JK. lol.

I hope we all get them. :)

Thats cool have you ever been to the D before?

[slicknickshady]

I've been once, when I was 9 or so, for the Auto Show hahaha.


lol.

[tomatoms]

i just saw dredg at st. andrew's last wed. that was a sweet ass show. dredg live is kick ass. i saw tool at the state when they came for the prelim's for lateralus. im kinda pissed at the 2 ticket limit, considering it's assigned seating. kind of clashes with the intent, i think. but being that my credit card's expiration date is 11/07, i think i got u all beat. plus god loves me.

i love downtown D, man, u can do whatever the fuck u want down there. it's almost like a ghost town, except for the spots.

[SAGET]

but being that my credit card's expiration date is 11/07, i think i got u all beat. plus god loves me.


I dont get it...

Anyway...30 more minutes, good luck everyone.

[tigerf117]

Good luck everyone, 7 more mins, constantly hitting refresh, and have the box office on my redial lol. All while listening to Tool of course.

[tooljunky]

That Dredg show was sick. I love how they keep playing even when their roadies start tearing down the stage.

[thevirusunknown]

I wish they had done the tickets through Star Tickets Plus instead of Ticketmaster because thats where I work and I could have gotten tickets easily...

[slicknickshady]

Damn...f2 MM.... not bad, but not the best...as long as Im there...

Our tickets could be a lot worse or worse we could have none. These seats kick ass.

[Goldfoot]

[SAGET]

Hey i got F5 LL.

honestly.
if you score two tickets,
you could prob. fly to another states, stay in a hotel
and still pay less than a brokers tickets...

[SAGET]

I wonder if the orchestra pit was open for sale...and who got those..

[thevirusunknown]

Holy shit dude those are the last seats in the whole theatre.
haha yeah thats what it looks like. oh well.....

[tigerf117]

I know, but I have to spend money to fix my car (half shafts are shot). So i can't really spend money on a plane ticket. Two more go on sale, one at 11 and the other at 12noon
So i'll just hope and pray this time

[slicknickshady]

I wonder if the orchestra pit was open for sale...and who got those..

I dont think it was. We got great seats though anyway.

[SAGET]

My friend was in line at a ticketmaster outlet...I was on the phone with him and by 10:05 or so they were gone...amazing.

[Goldfoot]

I dont think it was. We got great seats though anyway.

Yeah, you're a bastard.

[Goldfoot]

My friend was in line at a ticketmaster outlet...I was on the phone with him and by 10:05 or so they were gone...amazing.

I couldn't find three online right after it changed.

[tigerf117]

Goldfoot, me and my g/f both refreshing every second until 10am hit, both with cable couldnt get 2 tickets

[bonzo]

I couldn't find three online right after it changed.


Ticketmaster fucked me. Posted this on somethingawful:

Man, FUCK TICKETMASTER. I went online and ordered two fucking tickets, it SHOWED ME THE TICKETS THAT IT WAS HOLDING FOR ME, and I proceeded with my order and then it showed "There was an error processing your order. Please go back to the main ticket page." Well fucking guess what? The tickets are sold out now! FUCK TICKETMASTER!

:( Oh well...there's always next time.

[furlano]

Goldfoot, me and my g/f both refreshing every second until 10am hit, both with cable couldnt get 2 tickets

did you guys refresh the "more info" page, or the main page where it listed all the dates?

[tigerf117]

the more info page, with the button that says buy tickets now

[Goldfoot]

did you guys refresh the "more info" page, or the main page where it listed all the dates?

I refreshed the main page with all the dates and when it said Find Tickets I went to search for three, then two, then one and it only found one. If I had gone for one originally, I'd probably have a better seat but I was trying for my friend and his brother too.

[IamAJAMBI]

same thing happened to me bonzo, I tried 4 then I tried one and it had some stupid fucking error, I hate ticketmaster.....fuck.

[furlano]

I saw 4, put picked 2 just in case (because I heard that there was only a 2 ticket limit). I also refreshed the main page, but i clicked on "more info" just as the clock changed to 10, and it loaded the find tickets page.

[tomatoms]

I got probably the worst tickets in the whole theater, section GC6, row W, seats 611-614

But I just got these as a backup in case I don't get chicago tiks, if I do end up getting chicago tiks I will post in "Kabir's thread" so you guys can have them :)
Where's Kabir's thread?

I got this too but (and you may not want to hear this) I pushed the back button and it gave me a log in screen saying I had 1 minute to log in before my tickets were released, I loged in and my tickets were still there so I tried again and it worked.

[bonzo]

dude same thing happened to me too! but it was for the orpheum concert.

any ideas why this is happening/how can be prevented?

I called my girlfriend and I was like "YES!!! GUESS WHO HAS 2 TICKETS TO SEE TOOL?!?! ME, BABY, ME!" Then I was like "What the fuck? They stole them from me!!! Those bastards!"

She feels bad for me. Oh well, whatcha gonna do? I don't think there is really any other method. I guess it's all about luck, sadly. There are a lot of brokers already charging 185 per ticket with a 2 ticket minimum purchase. It's ridiculous.

[Vexom]

I feel like so fucking lucky. Wow.

2 Tickets F5, LL 507-508.
Hey slicknick, I'm in F6 row LL, haha

[rembrandt_q_einstein]

I JUST GOT ONE TICKET TO THE SHOW IT SOLD OUT IN 4 MINUTES FUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK YES

[Vexom]

Haha, DAMN YOU! Damn you for telling me that! Shit, I didn't think of that. You're a smart fella. :( *cries*
I'm really sorry man.

[bonzo]

I'm really sorry man.

Ah, it's okay. I'm happy for you. :) I hope you have a great time.

[wscarlet]

I got GA 4 Row K seats

First Level of the Balcony

There is "not" a bad seat at the Fox. This will be a show, not a full fledged concert. The "ultimate" Tool experience if you ask me.

[IamAJAMBI]

I just called a broker and he said he'll have tickets on monday.....they're probably gonna cost me an arm and two legs.

[bobvee]

I just bought orchestra pit, row 5 tickets from a broker.


fuuuuck, guess I'm not going to be eating for a while...

[croatoa]

i got 4!

Online. Lower balcony 1st Row! Right over mezzanine, aisle too.

Out of 4 others I know trying to get these, only 1 other got in.

Hope some of you other guys had some luck. I have a hookup who told me he won't be able to tell me if he can help me until it's much closer to show day, he sadi to still try to get tix. He may still come through.

[wscarlet]

Just to in the venue is going to be worth the price...

Intimate venue like this seeing a band of this caliber is special beyond belief; we who have tickets are soo fucking lucky and should savior the opportunity.

how much

400 apiece plus service charges. I figured if I was going to pay an arm and a leg, I might as well get kickass seats.

[tigerf117]

God damn, Thats too rich for my blood. Poor college kid

I thought there was that ticketfast delay thing with chicago tho?

There is, but what does that mean?

[tigerf117]

I have no idea, I was asking other people

[otisarungus]

They delayed ticketfast because theoretically if they send them out instantly (which they usually do) one could keep printing/buying tickets without regard to the limit. There would be no time for the bastards to police orders.

Did anyone else get no service charge? That was sweet. On a $265 order I paid $6 in fees...that will never happen again in the history of ticketbastard.

[tigerf117]

same here. No service charge. I think it may have been standard fare across the board.

[tigerf117]

lol, actually i did have to hit delete when i tried, i dunno bout my g/f, i think that was what screwed me over

[DJ07]

Yeah shit ... I wanted to go with my friend, but I only managed one ticket.

3 hour drive from Cleveland (where in my goddamn opinion shoulda been the first place they went) ... it'll be worth it. My Mom and Dad already offered to go with me and get a hotel oom and go gambling while I'm at the show. Awh how nice. They see how important Tool is to me. Haha.

[Goldfoot]

For one ticket it was $70.71 or something. What's that a facility charge?

[furlano]

Mezzanine level is awesome!, it's not very many rows deep and is fairly low over the floor, it's kind of like a VIP level.

Enjoy em man, you're view is going to be beautiful.

Anybody can go to the hockeytown cafe. when me and my buddy get there we are just going to wait in line. We should get there around 6:00 and the concerts at 8:00. I'm graduated with my Associates Degree and I'm out of school for the summer so i could get there early but my buddy has to work till 4:30.

I might have to work that day, but I'll probably take it off...hopefully.
A TDN meetup would be cool...especially since it's not general admission, so getting in line early seems pointless to me.

If there's not a fake ticket fiasco like 5 years ago at the State.

We all made it in on time, but it was a little too close for comfort.

Enjoy the show boys and girls! We are some very fortunate mofos.

I would get there early Schema. Thats just me though. I'm paranoid of missing just 1 second of the show.

[wscarlet]

Being in Detroit during this coming May is going to be so much fun. The intense Red Wings' and Pistons' playoff runs will leave the city in a buzz. If there is a hockey game in Detroit the night of the concert Hockeytown Cafe will almost impossible to get in to. Second, there are many places in the area where one could enjoy an adult beverage or two prior to the concert. And speaking of the concert not having to wait a long time between the purchasing of the tickets and the show itself is very very cool. More times then not when you buy tickets to a show you wait in excess of two months before the show, not for this Tool show.

Also, I'm section GA6, row A, seats 601-604. First row of the balcony! Built in beer table! I thought I saw that someone else was in GA6 too.

For those of you in the balcony!!! The balcony at the Fox moves big time when the people up there get excited. I was there for Coldplay (yeah yeah, I know, it was a wife thing, we have to see her shows too) and the crowd up there was jumping and that bitch was moving like we were in an earthquake, For fucking Coldplay! I was on the floor for Audioslave a few months ago and looked up and holy shit was it quaking. I heard it's normal but fuck is it ever unnerving.

F1 Row W. Are these seats any good ? Any word on official sell out time?

f1 row w is way of to the side
but still a floor ticket
you may have toruble seeing one part of the band depending on the set up but id take that over nothing.

as for 3 minutes,
it was no more than 1 minute

[vicarious]

just being at this show regardless of seat location is all that matters. It would still be nice to be centered but we're in at least.

Just stay close to the theatre, there are some nice hotels.

I meant in a snarky, sarcastic way. Is the theater in a decent neighborhood, though? If not, where's there a good neighborhood to stay in? I see hotels for, like, $80 a night. That, to me, means that the hotel is lousy or in a bad area,

[Antcrusher]

See everyone at the show, we'll be in F5 row NN :)

I can't get over what tix are going for on TM and Stub hub....ridiculous.

[Maranello550]

^ thats where I am.

Mezz 4 row EE, (5th row?)

and yes i hear the view will blow your mind from here. i've only been in the fox twice, in the back of F3/F4 and back up in the balcony. and from what i can remeber the front of the balcony overhangs and you get a great view of the stage.

[identity_theory]

I hope you're right.... I just paid $400 for them... :( Fury has been washing over me all day...but I have to see them in a theater...could be the last shot. maybe I'll get his address and slash his tires AFTER the show so he doesn't make quite so much profit after all.... no, really.

My seats: M4, row AA If they suck I will drown myself in my own semen...during the show.

All I can tell you is this!
WHEN THOSE LIGHTS GO DOWN!
HOLY FUCK@
You'll think I would have paid double!
Trust me.

Good move.
I got lucky but was planning to do whatever it took to go.
I had in my mindset that I was going weather at regular price or 4X regular price.
Tool at a small venue is just worth it.

The Fox Theatre no less!?!? Unbelieveable.... its kinda weird cause its seated but should be a night to remember

[identity_theory]

:D

[identity_theory]

But I'm still confused (retarded?)... In diagrams, the Mezz appears to be above the main floor, but below the balcony... Are they staggered...or is the mezz just on the floor, but further back???

it's a theater, sound equipment will probably be below the stage.. i've been to the fox and fisher to se plays. i would imagine it would go where the orchestra would go. i'm in GA6. i really don't care where the seat is. i'm just happy i'm gonna be there.

[scottiem]

I've never been to the fox... how is the floor set up? is it descending when you walk closer to the stage? just want to know whether or not to take centre balcony row s or floor4 row ee.
