Wembley ARENA - different. Its a shame they're playing such big venues. They were excellent at Hammersmith and Brixton previously. Wembley Arena is possibly the worst venue in london

It a new Arena though, which is ALLEDGEDLY better than the previous one, but I find that difficult to believe. It was just a matter of time before we had to deal with seeing them in such enormodomes

my thoughts exactly, Hammersmith was a blast, Wembley will just be harder to cope with with regards to me not thinking that Robbie Williams or Westlife played there the night before...

Wembley Arena as expected. In the past I have seen Bizkit, Incubus, APC, Deftones, Foo Fighters, and the Beastie Boys there. I will be on the barrier for at least one night ala Deftones/APC. I had a hell of a time in the queue that day meeting so many good people. For the second night i will mingle with the crowd. That was a few years ago. I am looking forward to this. I also intend to go to at least one Dutch date, as i am moving to Bristol, i missed out on Amsterdam tickets last time round, but I'v been meaning to see Rotterdam so there you go.
This news has made my day, i will be thinking of nothing else until my head rests for sleep.

Let the search for a ticket release time commence.

No, it isn't a new arena, it's going to be the same old american style piece of shit. Struggle to get a beer, rip off prices, shitty security, no water, the whole friggin deal. See you down the front.

Are you sure? They had a temporary structure up for over a year they named The Pavillion (which was just an exceptionally elaborate tent), so they could rebuild the arena as part of the whole rejuvination thing.

rufas

07-28-2006, 01:23 AM

Yes, I'm sure, although i could be wrong, it's unlikely ( ! )
The arena is still holding gigs all the time.
They have been doing gigs at "The Pavillion" for quite a while too.

onethirtyeight

07-28-2006, 01:48 AM

The Pavillion has closed now apparently and gigs are back at the Arena. Maybe it was just a refurb. Not that it really matters - it's still going to be gash. The Pavillion was the worst venue I have ever been to though, so at least it's a step up from that. Not that I care. I'd happilly see Tool anywhere.

All I have to do now is not spunk all my cash before the tickets go on sale.

The whole new arena thing I think refers to the entrance hall which has just been tarted up a bit.... Looks great. Shame they didn't do anything inside the arena.
It'll be a new experience for us UK fans seeing them in such a big venue - who knows, they may even bring those massive pieces of Alex Grey art along with them.

onethirtyeight

07-28-2006, 03:21 AM

Is that it? That's a bit cack. Oh well.

I would be a little dissapointed if they didn't up the production on this tour. We've been really lucky in the UK getting to see them in smaller venues than our American chums, but I have to admit mild jealousy at the missing out on the more elaborate visual experience of their last US arena tour. Not HUGE jealousy as given the choice I'd take a 4,000 capacity venue over a 10,000 capacity any day of the week, but mild jealousy all the same.

Argh! yeah - the security at Wembley does indeed suck. and the no water/beer in the arena situation is too strict also. Damn - i had everything crossed for Brixton.

No doubt the production/stage set up will be on a bigger scale than Hammersmith though. Anyone know WHEN the tickets actually go on sale?

oohbaby

07-28-2006, 05:56 AM

Anyone know WHEN the tickets actually go on sale?

yeah I would really like to know the answer to that question as well. does anyone have any idea???

why is it that they choose to be fucking awkward and never post details of when/where the tickets are going on sale on toolband? it really pisses me off.
I lost out on getting tickets for the dates a few months back because of that.

onethirtyeight

07-28-2006, 06:11 AM

Last time round, the dates were up about 3 weeks before the tickets went on sale - which was driving me crazy. Someone on Toolarmy posted a presale link for the Hammersmith shows which is how I got my first night tickets, and then they went on sale that Friday. The second night went on sale at lunchtime the same day. So I predict 2 weeks today.

I just wish they'd tell us though. I have put a bunch of cash aside to pay for it, but I am skint otherwise and if its going to be after payday then I could have a bit of a better month. Oh well...

07-28-2006, 06:22 AM

I was thinkibng it would probably be next Friday - just because they only announced the Dublin date last week and that went on sale today.

I always check www.ticketmaster.co.uk first - even though i dont like them they're usually updated regularly.
also keep in mind its wembley and wont sell out as quick due to capacity.

Hello,

I'm Ricardo from Spain. We are planning a trip to london to see Tool (and of course, London!!). We found that the London dates were deleted from the official site. By the way, where we can buy the tickets to this show (in case that these dates are still To Be Confirmed)??

www.ticketline.co.uk/? www.ticketmaster.co.uk/?

Thanks in advance

PD: It's good to see Tool 6 times in a year!!!

Man it would be sweet if they changed their minds and did Brixton or Hammersmith instead. We can dream. They'll be up again soon people, panic not.

how come the 27th and 28th have disappeared off the Tool site?

ktdude

07-31-2006, 05:20 AM

It will just be to do with sorting out contracts etc... was the same with the Hammersmith dates in June, they will be back up just as soon as they've confirmed officially with Wembley... or decided to scrap that plan and play the Camden Barfly instead. :o)

tiryth

07-31-2006, 05:37 AM

i wanna go, saw them in Brixton last time, got my camera (stills not video) confiscated and ended up in the little backroom thing right behind the stage - shame i couldnt see but MAN that was LOUD!!!

may go to the Cardiff one this year if thats still on as 27th November is my daughter's 1st birthday!

Hi, i will be in the UK from the 24th of november till mid december and i plan to see tool while i am there. i am from australia and would like any help i can get in relation to securing 2 tickets for any of the UK shows.

I would suggest . . . . . . buying some when they come out. In the age of the internet, anyone will take your electronic money. Including gigs and tours.

You could always wait, and go down on the night . . There will definitly be touts.

Soundjunkie

08-01-2006, 03:44 AM

will the tickets be available on tickmaster or some other website. buying online isnt a problem, i just have no real clue where to begin with the uk. also things like receiving the tickets after paying for them. i no people in the UK so i guess going through them could also be an option.

considering im in australia and wont be leaving till november to go to the UK what is the best plan of action for me. should i use ticketmaster or gigsandtours and is it possible to have the tickets sent to australia or will i have to contact some one in UK to pickup/purchase for me.

Ticketmaster was £2 cheaper for me, so go for that one.

Um both of them ask for Postcodes so I think they deliver to UK only.
Contacting someone you know in the UK would be cheaper than international delivery anyway (£5 for national ticket delivery is crazy)

Can I ask, does anyone know why on the Ticketmaster presale they are showing seated for some shows and standing for others? Does this mean there won't be any standing tickets or is it just a selection?

It seem the seetickets presale has seats and standing as where the ticketmaster presale has seats only for some shows and standing only for some shows.

ok, purchased 2 seated tickets for wembley, how long does it take to be sent if im in australia. i noticed on ticketmaster they state that the tickets will arrive no later then 48 hours before the event. the problem is i will already be in the UK 48 hours prior to the event.

ktdude

08-02-2006, 03:20 AM

You should probably phone them directly, quote your ticket reference and ask for advice. They may advise you to have them sent to an address in the UK or something, or they may say it's fine. My Hammersmith tickets turned up about a month before the gig or more even, and that was Ticketmaster. But sometimes it can be cutting it a little fine...

Soundjunkie

Here's a couple of non 0870 numbers that you can try:

0161 3853500

and

0161 3853211

You'll have to add whatever you dial from AUS for a UK number.

Alternatively, maybe Ticketmaster Australia could advise you as to what number to call?

What do people think about this date selling out? Do you think it will? I really hope so, I'm coming down to London from Newcastle and want them to add the second date to make it worth my while. Not that it won't be, but you know, value for money and all that. None of the dates have sold out yet... are they big enough to sell out these big venues? I would have thought so.... but won't it be a bummer if they don't, and we could have seen them at Brixton all along....

the badical

08-08-2006, 05:14 AM

i dont think they'll sell out so fast - you could still get tickets for the second hammersmith date for quite a while after they went on sale and wembley is much larger than 2 dates at the apollo.

Also, on topic, I noticed the Wembley date/s are still not showing on toolband.com.

Yeah, the music scene right now makes me want to stab blunt instruments into my ears. Christ it sucks. That is all. Do you know how hard I have to work to get Tool even played in a club on the offchance that I actually go to one (given up because off the toss they usually play).

Wmebley dates will be up soon enough, it will just be management quibbles or something. No worries. We want two, we want two!

Why oh why, did TOOL have to play Wembley Arena?

Brixton or Hammersmith would have been so much better. Personally, I don't think there will be a second Wembley date because there is no way they are going to sell out the 27th.

michael127

08-10-2006, 04:31 AM

Do you think enough hasseling of the band and Blair will persuade them to reduce down to two nights at Brixton or even better....four nights at Koko!!! I'll be very surprised if there is a second date. they'll be lucky to sell out the first night and they need at least a half to two thirds of the second night sold to make it worth their while. Maybe Brixton of hammersmith for the second night

Yeah exactly. Won't be the same atmosphere as Hammersmith but what two gigs ever really have the excat same atmosphere? I reckon it's going to be epic. Got standing tickets so its not like I'll have to worry about being sat ages away or anything anyhow.

Man, I don't get why you'd want to stay sat down for two hours when you have TOOL infront of you.

Went on Ticketmaster this morning and it looks like Wembley tickets may have sold out... or the standing ones at least... could another date be on the horizon? Sold out quicker than I thought it would like....

If they do a second date they should go for a smaller venue as I doubt they can sell out Wembley twice. Probably Hammersmith or Brixton I guess, Koko would be a dream. Maybe the Vauxhall Tavern.

Where can we go drinking after the gig? I'd be up for going into central London but it's a Monday, can't imagine many good late night rock clubs will be happening... any thoughts people, good pubs with late licenses on Mondays?

London is pretty much a 24-7 city with regards to nightlife....I'd recommend getting the Guardian on Saturday before the concert, as it has a guide thingy with pretty much everything happening in the city for the week. Or else scour the interweb.

Unfortunately the Wembley area is a dive....unless you consider knife crime a fun activity to partake in.

michael127

08-24-2006, 04:05 AM

Doesnt look like we're going to get that 2nd date. There are still seating tickets for the first one and there has to be enough demand (probably enough to fill two thirds of the arena) before they'll even release tickets for the second date. I think a bombardment of emails to Blair asking the band to play hammersmith or Brixton on the 2nd night is required. wat do you think?

Spike

08-28-2006, 04:07 PM

Is Isis going to be supporting on the international leg? That might make me want to come out for this one, because while I hate Wembley and have seen Tool and Isis this year in smaller venues, the two on one bill may be too good to miss...

if it is just one date i hope they increase the set list. 11-12 songs???? they were doing that when they had only released 2 albums. Tool should be playing 2 - 2.5 hours now, no doubt about it....

even though they have started playing arenas in the states they are still playing the same setlist that they have for the entire tour so far. i hope it is extended by the time it reaches europe. i really hope they bring isis over with them too as i have not had a chance to see them live yet.

And to all those complaining they havn't changed their set list yet; you do realise they havn't even hit europe yet ? They're playing places like Vancouver who havn't seen a Tool show in years. I'm pretty sure when it comes to these shores, the set list will change.

hey KT and other England people, figured this is a good place to ask- which line/station you think is better for getting to Wembley Arena from Central London? Or should I take the British rail line to Wembley Stadium? Also how is getting back from the concert looking, does the tube run only till 11 pm? Sorry for so many questions in one post...

edit- anyone knows this club? http://www.scala-london.co.uk/scala/ how is it? Id be going there for a live show on a weekday.

ktdude

10-24-2006, 01:25 AM

hi George. your best bet is to head to Wembley Park station. this is on the Metropolitan line (London underground) and can be reached by changing at Baker Street station, which in turn can be reached from a number of central London locations. Make sure you invest in a copy of the tube map, it takes some getting used to but it's all quite logical.

Wembley's a little way out of London so not perfect as a venue and the Wembley area itself hasn't got a great reputation for safety, just to let you know.

The Scala has a reputation as a great club venue, however I don't know much about what events it runs these days… there used to be a pretty cool rock night there but that was a long time ago.

getting to anywhere from wembley is a right pain. 10,000 plus people all trying to force their way into the underground station all at once! last train through back to london is 11:10pm but there is a strict curfew at wembley, especially on week nights. can't remember whether it is 10pm or 10:30pm but its early enough that catching a train back into london is usually ok.

10-24-2006, 05:50 AM

hey KT and arct! yeah thats what I figured as far as which line to take, Im most likely to take it from Euston Square(im staying within walking distance of this station) to Wembley Park, do you know how long approximately the ride will take? 20 minutes? Looks like only 4 stops.

The show in The Scala I was thinking was The Two Gallants, not the greatest gig (I saw them opening for Wolfmother) but thats when Im gonna be there so I guess luck of the draw.

Anyone remember the name of the club thats in the Covent Garden market area that has live music? I cant remember the name, its on the south side of the square.

its shouldn't take you more than 20-25 minutes as long as you get a metropolitan line train on the way back, then you don't have to change at baker street. nice easy journey.

i don't suppose anyone remembers how much a standing ticket from ticketmaster costs roughly? i bought 2 from them when tickets were first on sale and my mate asked how much they cost to be able to pay me back and embarassingly enough i can't actually remember...

I think it was somewhere between £28 and £32... maybe even as much as £40

wow that was completely unhelpful. sorry!! it'll say on the tickets when you get them... don't forgot to whack on about £6 for booking fee, postage etc though

my two standing tickets for wembley, bought from ticketmaster, cost £69.45, which includes the booking fee and postage.

thank yous, i was so desperado to get the tickets at the time i don't think i even paid attention to how much they were, i'm sure they'll be worth it whatever the cost! :)

it'll say on the tickets when you get them...
I'm still waiting for mine... growing more impatient by the minute, pretty much gonna snatch the envelope from postie's hand before he can get it through the letterbox!

Has anyone else's enthusiasm for this gig dropped a bit because of the likelihood of an exact same set list as they played on the supposed "warm-up tour" at Hammersmith? Also the setlist has shrunk. ten songs??? WTF? Excited obviously but also feel the band are going through the motions right now
Totally. I am going to see them in Cardiff on the 30th. Hammersmith was awesome but I was really hoping / expecting that by the time the band returned to the UK they would want to play some different songs. For a band that has such a fantastic back catalogue plus a reputation for being unconventional, I am disappointed. Tool profess the desire to use their music to "connect" - I fear that at the moment, due to their choice of setlist, it is in danger of alienating some people. That said, it will be great to see these tremendous songs live one more time.

Did anyone order their tickets from Tickettout.com?

Have all of your tickets arrived yet?

And I pray to God they play a different set to last time, even if it's just wings and 10k.

it's OK Isac, they're playing Swamp Song, a truky higher caliber song than anything of 10kdaiz.

Swamp Song and or Wings/10000 Days will make my life at this show. Saw them at Download and at both Hammersmith dates so a bit of variation would be legendary!

oh man, Swamp Song and WfM/10k Days would absolutely make this gig for me.

I saw em at the June 13th date and the setlist then was pretty good. Intension was a bit meh for me.

there is a curfew but i can't remember what time it is. i think its either 10:00pm or 10:30pm. i'll try and find out and post it here

11-13-2006, 01:51 AM

I doubt it will finish before about 10:30, but could be wrong. town afterwards for some drinks imo.

The curfew for the arena is 11pm as thats when they are licensed until, so I am thinking that the band will be on at 8:45 for a 10:45 finish if they do the 2 hours that I hope for

i'm sure the curfew ends before 11:00. i can't ever recall a concert there that went on that late. you have to remember you (or rather wembley) are dealing with the idiots at brent council. the curfew time was made earlier in the 80's after lots of complaints from local residents, who all seem to hate living near the wembley complex.

and given the sets tool have been playing it would be a miracle if they played for two hours.

Arctangent

11-14-2006, 03:50 AM

i noticed they haven't been playing wings/10,000 days every night. i just hope we get them at wembley. i really don't want to see the same set as hammersmith, good as it was. i'd love to hear swamp song too but they don't seem to have played that and wings on the same night yet.

Well I just checked my ticket status with T.M. and they are "awaiting ticket stock from the organiser" so at least no cheeky scab down at the sorting office has half inched 'em. Hey hold on, T.M.=biggest corporate ticket seller=last one to send out the tickets. USELESS BUNCH OF PANSIES!

GUESS WHAT, MY TICKETS ARRIVED and i am in Australia. HHAHA YEAH!...

BRING ON MASTODON AND TOOL

Edit: i would also like to add that i keep reading about how loud it is and people days after having ringing in there ears. uh that ringing is that frequency dieing. after it goes you can never hear that frequency again. i just don't see why people are not wearing ear plugs instead of ruining there hearing.
shit, I'm going to see them four times, does that mean I won't be able to hear anything at all by the last gig? :)

earplugs are so uncomfortable, I have tiny ears anyway but I can't afford earplugs that don't affect the sound quality... I guess I will be deaf by the time I'm 30 ish.

A friend of mine got our from either SeeTickets or TicketMaster and apparently they're coming via special delivery sometime today. I'm guessing he called them up or something.

The tickets will come flooding in now methinks.

What better sound to shit your ears up than the orgasmic mindfuck that is TOOL?

11-15-2006, 03:02 AM

where was the earpug advice twenty four years ago when i started going to gigs? too late for me now. and tool at hammersmith was one of the loudest i have been to for a loooong time. i have to crank the volume up on my computer by another notch now.

believe me its not worth it to lose your hearing even if it is Tool, espcecially when you can prevent it with simple plugs, if you dont have plugs in emergency you can use tissue paper or whatever.

As far as curfew I just saw Springsteen there last week on 11.11 and they played until about 10:25-10:30, to the station its about a 10 minute walk, no problems with the tube and the trains ran past 11(maybe because it was on saturday?) You have the option of the express train that is the big cars NY style or the skinny tube train that makes local stops. All I can say is be careful when you get to Baker Street because the express line that was the last stop before I knew it we were headed back to Wembley, so had to get off on the next stop and head back on the tube.

I meant that the absolute latest the band is allowed to leave the stage is 11, although it will guaranteed finish before that. Except for if your name is Axl Rose, you are in the band Guns 'n Roses and you don't actually hit the stage until 11:05PM!

So I am thinking 9pm till 10:30pm or 9:15 till 10:45 seems about right for Tool at Wembley given what they have been playing

did anyone else here get their tickets through ringing the box office, and if so have they arrived yet?

that's how i did it, & i haven't got mine yet. maybe i shouldn't, but naturally, i'm panicking.

Not Brissy, but Melbourne.
Arrived in london not long ago, and I need a ticket to this gig.
Can anyone help out?
I think there are seats still available but I would prefer a standing ticket.
