I'll be there and I promised my younger brother I'd take him along. Hopefully I'll be able to afford a London ticket as well.

[junkie]

Bath, the land of pigeons, Roman bricks and East-Asian tourists.

[dacbo]

3x tickets bought

cost me less than the site said it would, £33 per ticket + £4.80 "transaction fee"

3x tickets bought

I'm misunderstanding this....why are they not sold out yet? NIN tickets at hammersmith sold out in like minutes....

[Mozeley]

Well, me and me girlfriend are there anyway.

Rock n roll.

I can't wait.

[Jimmeny]

wow, umm, uhh, there's another site saying pre-sale goes tomorrow, and this quite site has a load of tickets already, and it's not sold out?

[dacbo]

I'm misunderstanding this....why are they not sold out yet? NIN tickets at hammersmith sold out in like minutes....

well first CIA is a lot bigger than hammersmith and tool are not nine inch nails

secondly this is a presale that from what I can see has had little to no promotion - if i hadnt have looked on toolshed i would have had no idea tickets were on sale

i imagine them to go a lot quicker when people actually know about it

[8564]

I'm misunderstanding this....why are they not sold out yet? NIN tickets at hammersmith sold out in like minutes....

NIN also sold out Brixton Academy twice in the space of 15 minutes.

They are a lot more popular than Tool.

[dacbo]

looks like cardiff seating is going fast, then there are bugger all seats at cardiff anyway

[junkie]

dude the seats are several miles away from the stage! standing ftw

[dacbo]

oh yeah, standing all the way for me, just thought i'd say cos some people like seats :P

CIA is a great (arena sized) venue

[junkie]

yeah i saw the prodigy there last year (don't laugh it was bloody good!) and the venue was a lot better than i'd expected. needs more bars though.

changing the subject a bit, anyone got any educated guesses as to how the length of the set will compare to that of spring tour? i personally thought 1 hr 20 or whatever the hammersmith show ended up being was a bit of a piss take (and coming out an hour late sans support!). there's messing with your fans... and there's insulting your fans. still, it was a good show and i eagerly await november 30! :D

[dacbo]

i imagine as the summer tour was smaller venues etc.. then thats why it was such a short set

i'd hope that this tour will see 2 hours + a support + higher level of production

also i saw the prodigy at download this year and they were immense

[sobriquet]

I'll be there.

Can't wait. As great as the Hammersmith gigs were, it was a bit of a drag travelling down there mid-week. I won't even need to take a day of work for this gig! - well, maybe the next day due to a hangover ;-)

I've seen loads of gigs in the CIA, it's a great arena, I really can't wait for this concert.

[mikeanthony]

I will be there i wont be drinking though gonna drive :( you can just walk down from the seating area into the main standing area cant you?

[magentus]

I got my Cardiff ticket yesterday - it hasn't sunk in yet! I'm travelling from Worcester so if anyone wants a lift?

[tiryth]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay im going to this one!!!!

[mikeanthony]

Has anyone been to the CIA before , Just wondering on the size of the place

[Ia Yog-Sothoth!!?!!]

Got two tickets last night one for me and one for my girlfriend, who then decided she wasn't prepared to spend £30 to see TOOL! Got to find someone else to go with now, but I'm sure it won't be a particularly difficult search! I hope they do a longer show than the ones they've been doing recently, I would love to see '10,000 Days', 'Third Eye', 'Pushit' or 'D/R/T' live.
Anyway see you there!!

[Corevelay]

I got my ticket :D

The size of the arena is quite big, not the biggest but it holds about 5000 people I think. It has been reported to holding 7500 though.

Theres usually seats at the very back (but they took them out for Rammstein), theres 2 tiers above the standing floor also.

The best venue I've ever been to.

[tiryth]

Dunno the capacity but i saw slipknot, american head chanrge and In Flames there about 4 years ago and the place ROCKED :) not too big for Tool, should be amazing :)

[Corevelay]

I missed Slipknot in 2002. I Saw them in 2004 with Slayer in Cardiff. I'm gonna see In Flames on this years Slayer tour in Cardiff though :D

[magentus]

Anyone know about a support?

What would peoples dream support act be?

I'll start - Twin Zero - a bit of English.

Your turn...................

[dacbo]

it'd be great if they got suns of the tundra (aka peach) to open, then justin can come out and do you lied

main support should be explosions in the sky

[magentus]

Is there an official support announced yet?

[Isac Khrondor]

What the shit?

Tickets on sale allready, cool.

I might go to this, as I have relatives near by, what's the venue like?

Better than Webemly?

[junkie]

I'd love to see Isis play, as we were originally told with the hammersmith shows

[mikeanthony]

Got my tickets today wooot tool here i come

[Mongeese]

I'm going. :D

[barrie0]

Got 2 Standing , saw audioslave at the CIA last year , sound system was brilliant and standing is the best option , as all those seated looked like they were having a crap time whereas the standing section were having an excellent time .

[tiryth]

OURS TURNED UP TODAY!!!!!!!!! and we have 2 spares i think!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mikeanthony]

Ive got about 5 spare if people dont start paying up soon

[faulty]

Where'd everyone who's already got their tickets get them from? Mine are taking fucking ages... or i'm just impatient. I think gwar should support, mainly because the tickets were dangerously close to £40 and i like gwar

[mikeanthony]

ticketmaster.co.uk i gotmine from , 28.50 each plus somthing like 3.75 booking fee plus 4.95 postage

[junkie]

if tool sell out any of these arenas i'll get a copy of 'the grudge' on dvd, tape it to my head, and wear it like a crown

[faulty]

I'm going to buy all the tickets just to see someone running around the CIA with the grudge strapped to their head

[misanthrope_13]

Whats this venue like? Big? Small etc...

I've never been there, so have know idea what to expect, ill be travelling all the way from London...

Anyone fancy meeting up before aswell? Talk tool and a few beers?

[dacbo]

it's pretty big - all standing except the balcony

excellent venue

[Ci5tm Konfliqt!]

i would be going .....but no gcse trip has been re-scheduled....if anybody would like to buy the 2 tickets off me for £30 each pm me

[4degreesnorth]

[Ci5tm Konfliqt!]

[Citizen Erased]

[junkie]

i would be going .....but no gcse trip has been re-scheduled....if anybody would like to buy the 2 tickets off me for £30 each pm me

where's your commitment

[Pancthulhu]

Pah! I'm supposed to be going on a college trip to the Tate Britain that day to do research for my art history essay, but I won't get back in time if I do. I'm going to see Tool instead and further my artistic development that way. :P

[Indica]

i have just been let down with my ride home so if anybody can take a stow away from cardiff to bristol, i dont mind paying the tole on the bridge.

im very desparate. give us a pm if you think you can help. :)

cheers

indica

[dacbo]

i wonder what the turn out will be for this show... the CIA is a big place...

[mandibleTongue]

I'll be there. This will be my first live Tool experience. Cant wait!

[magentus]

I'm driving to Cardiff from Worcester if anyone wants a lift. - let me know.

Luke

[Grom]

I'm going. Should be good. Here's hoping they play Intermission over and over for a few hours then leave the stage

[Mongeese]

if tool sell out any of these arenas i'll get a copy of 'the grudge' on dvd, tape it to my head, and wear it like a crown

As far as I know, this show hasn't sold out, but I'll be there tomorrow wearing the grudge like a crown anyway. Thanks for the suggestion, say hi if you see me.

[junkie]

[Mongeese]

Yeah man :D

its not gonna be the dvd cover. instead it's gonna be me attempting to scribble it in all of 30 seconds haha. train leaves in about 40 minutes. just sticking some music on my ipod then we're leaving. Im so excited. SECOND TOOL CONCERT TODAY. :D!

also im meeting assailing eyes in cardiff, which is gonna be awesome. Im really good friends with her and we met for all of 5 seconds on the train to london on june 13th.

today is gonna be amazing. good luck with any journeys you have to make, everyone. ill see you at the CIA. :D

[LetGoLetgoLetGo]

I heard word that pushit was played. Someone open the review discussion so that we can confirm this.

[junkie]

Yes, I can confirm pushit was played. Maynard also did the whole show naked and Courtney Love was guest vocalist on Wings for Marie / 10,000 Days.

[Jimmeny]

lol

What a gig! Maynard has a really massive penis!

[ROCKMOUSE]

why isnt 11/30/06 posted in reviews, and discussion closed, anybody have a link to reviews of the 11/30/06 u.k. show ?, or did they not play

[Jimmeny]

They did play, it's just that everyone is waiting for the Cardiff discussion threat to be unlocked so that they can post in the correct place :)

[LetGoLetgoLetGo]

Umm...I was being serious about the Pushit thing.

Apparently during recent soundchecks, THe Patient, Pushit, The Grudge, and jimmy have been rehearsed.

Lick my sack.

[ROCKMOUSE]

thanks mate
