From what I've heard, the Toolarmy presale is not available for all members. Some members do not get presale tickets. They have a limited number of them.

I will be at this show. I'm not sure if I will be getting tickets for this one through TM or a broker though.

SpiralReflection

My understanding of the current Tool Army (and I'm a member) presale system is this:
-Everyone will be able to "purchase" them for every show while they're available
-However, TA will review how close you are to the actual show and then decide if you actually receive tickets. If they don't e-mail you a confirmation, your card won't be charged for tickets
-Before this system, people "within 1 hour of the show" were e-mailed a password for Ticketmaster, under this new system it hasn't been stated what the qualifying distance is

It sounds very complicated to me. Most bands simply give fan club members a presale passcode and a short timeframe to purchase a maximum of two tickets with good seating. That usually seems to work. But this is Tool so it has to be more complicated... LOL.

does anyone that lives in the area know if there's a form of transportation (public buses, etc), besides taking a cab... because i can imagine that'd be around $30.... since we're flying down there, we have no car to get us to the arena.

Here's a thought:

Why not locate a hotel within walking distance to the arena? Catch a cab from the airport to your hotel, and then walk to and from the show.

hotel is already booked, we're staying in disney.
... oh well, i'll find a way.

.................for anyone that's been to this venue before, do they usually do GA for the floor?

WiredIllusion

02-16-2007, 07:58 AM

TD Waterhouse/Amway Arena is normally GA on the floor, but it can vary show to show. I've seen seating, I've seen GA. Depends on the band and how it was booked.

As far as transportation, there are city buses (Lynx) that one can take. I am not at all familiar with the routes but it is a possibility I suppose (a taxi may be easier). The Lynx site is: http://www.golynx.com/. A map of routes in JPEG format (they have many ways to view on their site) can be see here (http://www.golynx.com/RouteMaps/SystemMap.jpg).

I would also call your hotel and see if they know of any shuttle buses that travel to Amway Arena at nights or what they would recommend.

The real question is... join TA for a chance at presale or not. Haha.

thanks for the help!.

joining TA doesnt seem like a good option... like someone said earlier, they only allow people within a certain distance from the arena to buy tickets... which doesn't seem too fair. maybe for you tho, since you live in orlando. my boyfriend bought tickets for 3 shows on the lateralus tour and got GA floor for all of them, without presale... it shouldn't be a problem getting good seats. hopefully.

in theory it's only 20 minutes away----on a friday afternoon/evening it will take quite a bit longer than that---make sure you plan on an hour or so for travel time (I-4 is quite slow at times)

WiredIllusion

02-17-2007, 05:51 AM

Totally agreed, if you leave anywhere between 3:30 and 6:30 expect slow downs on I-4 due to accidents, sheer congestion or sheer idiocy.

I called FYE (Ticketmaster outlet) and that bastard tried telling me that all the shows were cancelled. I was really pissed for some time, but then I realized that he was probably just an ass who didn't know what he was saying. Or he really liked to give bad news to people.

Either way, the Orlando show is still listed on TDN and Toolband, so I think it's just going to be postponed. Florida was the only state (that I noticed) that had five shows...either way (hopefully) we'll all find one to go to. I just hope they still come to Orlando.

PShepherd11

03-18-2007, 06:10 AM

You know, it's kind of bothering me that the Orlando date is not listed on TDN or on Ticketmaster. They're supposed to go on sale next Saturday, I would think that Ticketmaster should have this information.

katelyn

03-21-2007, 04:52 AM

Still not listed on ticketmaster, wtf is up with that? I heard on the radio tix were going to go on sale 3/24 . . .

seanx666

03-21-2007, 06:29 AM

i am worried that it is not up on ticketmaster because they are accepting the tickets sold from the cancelled date. if everyone bought tickets when they first went on sale (for the cancelled show) there might not be any left. I didn't buy any since i heard it was cancelled. i figured i'd have to wait for a rescheduled date, then buy tix. who would have thought ticketmaster would sell tix for a cancelled show, then accept those tix for the rescheduled show. Unfortunately there might be alot of us in this boat.

katelyn

03-21-2007, 08:23 AM

Well I just got off the phone with ticketmaster and they said that tickets did not go on sale yet. She said that its not listed on ticketmaster right now, but it should be updated by Friday and that tix would go on sale 3/24 at 10 am so I guess we'll see . . .

10am tomorrow....can't wait.

flipmojo

03-24-2007, 06:41 AM

Got my tickets for this show just now. As far as Ticketmaster... HOLY SHIT!! I have never seen such a delay for tickets. It was insane! I was on right when it turned 10am, and the wait time jumped straight up to over 15 minutes!! It took 20 minutes just to get a ticket offer. Thankfully, they were still pretty good lower level tickets. Not great, but I will take them over paying $150 per ticket from some broker.

Also got good lower level tickets for Jacksonville. Jax is a smaller venue. It should be a cool show. The wait was just as long on ticketmaster. Unbelievable.

Check this... seriously, check it.

I went on Ticketmaster just for shits and giggles this morning. You see, I didn't get tix for Sunrise, FL because they sold out so fast right when they went onsale in March. They only showed outerspace, nosebleed seats by the time my number was called. So I passed.

But today I found really decent lower level seats straight up on Ticketmaster for Sunrise some one month later. Check back on Ticketmaster often. You never know when they will dump seats into the database for buying. Good luck.

See you in Orlando, Sunrise AND Jax. YES!!!

I just, 5 minutes ago, picked up pretty good seats for this show right off ticketmaster. They're upper level but not bad, sec 208 row J. And they were $41. The funny thing is, there were seats higher up, sec 214 row T for $54. Cant figure that out. Anyways, I'll be going to both the Tampa and Orlando shows and have a pair of VERY good seats for sale for the Tampa show if anyone is interested. Sec. P1 row 10, face value, $65. E-mail me at [email protected]. Peace.

Hi, This is Helen from the girl's thread. Our friend Priti (PShepherd) is 'missing'. We have concerns for her whereabouts. We know she has tickets to this concert but we are not sure if she is still going. She was in the process of moving from one town to another (within Florida) and posted a distressed message from a different computer. Those of us with her email address have emailed her but now her emails are bouncing back. We are very concerned for her and would love to know if she is OK.

She looks like this. (http://toolnavy.com/member.php?u=30764)

If you happen to see her at this concert could you please ask her to log in to tdn and tell us she is OK.

I MAY have an extra ticket to this show. Son can't go, wife doesn't want to. I still love her cuz she is going to the Tampa show with me. If I can't find anyone to go with me, I will sell this ticket at or below face value. It's in sec 208, row J. I'll be parking in Lot 1. Send me an e-mail at [email protected] if you are interested.

The band had two days off before last night's show in Tampa. Now they get today off too. Let's do 'em a favor and welcome them back tomorrow night!!

I heard there were some technical mistakes last night - probably due to the time off. I'm thinking tomorrow night will be a show for them to ease into the second half of the tour - starting with this three night run in Florida.

See you tomorrow at the show!! Don't be an ass. It will be a great show!

Melt Banana is one of the best noise bands around. You fuggers are lucky and should feel honored to see them. Instead, I've no doubt plenty of meatheads will biatch that the guitar is too loud and they can't understand the singer.

Exactly, when I heard it I didnt think prison sex was coming. Guess since I know almost exactly the order of the setlist, just when they switch the pot with right in two.

they teased third eye in 2002 with the leary intro before they actually played it

rschackleford75

05-31-2007, 10:33 PM

The place got pretty excited when they teased it, at least from my perspective. Like fearxile, I pretty much knew it wasn't going to come. Crowd had pretty decent energy, except for the assholes who threw stuff on stage and were taking flash photos. Pushit and Lateralus were the two best for me tonight.

What was the "extended intro" for Pushit? Was it slow, like the live version on Salival?

rschackleford75

06-01-2007, 09:16 AM

The extended intro was basically just this synthy, ambient thing they did for awhile before playing the first few notes. It built up excitement pretty nice.

flipmojo

06-01-2007, 09:43 AM

I don't think that synth was a Pushit intro. It was more of that stuff they play between every song.

And was that Prison Sex or H? I thought I heard Adam play the first three notes of H. "Dun nuh nuh..." But then they went into Lateralus.

Wow Helen, thanks for your concern. No one talked to me though.

That show was great, but I think the last one was better. I was hoping to hear the rest of Prison Sex, so that was a bit disappointing. There was a lot I was hoping to hear from Ænima and Undertow and even Opiate. The show should've been longer, it felt so short.

I was really wishing I had a camera phone, when I saw these preppy guys in front of me all taking pictures. Maybe next time.
