I will get tickets to this show if it's the last thing I do as I have yet to attend a TOOL concert.

For those of you who have been to a concert at the Gwinnett Arena, which seats are the best looking at this seating chart?

[Sasha]

Yup, it's the closest venue to me aside from Bonnaroo in June. I'll be going most likely.

[27 Years]

I am so excited for this show. I am dropping all activities, including a varsity track meet for the show. Any idea when tickets will be going on sale?

[Chris_Brightwell]

I saw APC here a few years ago. Great venue, despite it being an arena.

[phr34k]

I saw apc there too...and i live literally 5 minutes away if i dont get tickets.. i just might cry.....

[a788]

i just performed there 2 weeks ago! that's really wierd to think about....

but i will be at that concert. if its the last thing i do.

no most pits

[SinepTaf]

I just heard on the radio that the tickets will be going on sale Saturday February 24th at 10:00 am. They said tickets will be $55.00 and $45.00

[l David l]

PLEASE HELP ME....DIDN'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO PUT THIS:

i am going to sign up for a tool army account in order to get presale tickets and i have questions since i couldnt find the answers on the site:

1. can i get presale tickets with the $40 membership?
2. how many tickets can i get with each account?
3. how does the presale work?
- where do i get the tickets from (ticketmaster, tool army, etc)
- if i sign up for the membership like the day before the presale, will i be automatically given something so i can get the tickets?
- i am getting tickets for this concert and greenville so how can i do this the fastest (i know ticketmaster wont let you search for different tickets simutaneously on the same account)
- also, please give tips on how to get the tickets the fastest (what should i expect when the presale starts as far as entering information and whatnot)

[Timshel]

PLEASE HELP ME....DIDN'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO PUT THIS:

Ummm....with what?

[one]

i heard on the 96.1 today that they have the first 5 rows to give away at this show. they said they'll be giving tickets away every day this week.

[IMBass]

I've never seen Tool live. I'm going to either this show or the Winston-Salem, NC show. I also have 3 maybe 4 friends going. What would be the best route to get tickets? (besides ToolArmy) I'm assuming it will be a battle to acquire some.

[one]

i heard on the 96.1 today that they have the first 5 rows to give away at this show. they said they'll be giving tickets away every day this week.

i've never won anything in my life but i won the 5th row tickets today! anybody that listened in please tell me how stupid i sounded.

[insaner]

i've never won anything in my life but i won the 5th row tickets today! anybody that listened in please tell me how stupid i sounded.

do they just give away one pair a day? what time was it and what did you have to do to win? trivia (hopefully) or just call in?

[one]

do they just give away one pair a day? what time was it and what did you have to do to win? trivia (hopefully) or just call in?

they're giving away 1 pair everyday this week. 4th row tomorrow, 3rd the next etc.

i just had to call in, unbelievable.

good luck!

[a788]

around what time?

[one]

around what time?


yesterday they were given away by chris at about 4:45 however he said they're giving them away different times each day by different djs. i'd e-mail or call the station to see if they'll tell you what time slot to expect.

TOOL TOUR TO BE RESCHEDULED

Tool Tour To Be Rescheduled

Los Angeles, CA - February 21, 2007 - Tool will be rescheduling their upcoming North American tour due to an injury in the band. Over the weekend, drummer Danny Carey tore a bicep. Danny underwent surgery TODAY and is recovering well. Rescheduled tour dates will be announced shortly.

(Note: Danny just got out of surgery and it went well)

[SinepTaf]

Anyone know if the tickets will still go on sale saturday or not? I would assume not but don't want to get shafted.

Nevermind. looks like Ticketmaster has taken it off the site.

[a788]

DAMNITTTTTTTTTTTT

[Apollo's third eye]

Whats the quality of the Gwinnett center? I know the few concerts I've been too in Atlanta that were in a large venue have been awful, but I haven't been to the Gwinnett center, if it suppose to suck I'll probably drive up to South Carolina and see the show there.

[SinepTaf]

I wouldn't exactly called the Gwinnett center a large venue. It seats like 12,000. Its like a mini arena.

[Telkar]

It's a medium sized venue. I saw APC there in 2004, great show, even from the seats. My friend and I are going to this once it's rescheduled (Hopefully Danny gets feeling better soon.), as we've both been major Tool fans for years and years, and have never had the chance to see them live.

Edit: If you go, look for the blue truck with the Tool (Aenima style) vinyl on the back window. That'll be us.

Same here... I hope they reschedule this mugg!

[Runner701]

Same here... I hope they reschedule this mugg!

this show might not be rescheduled:

1. recent toolband posts suggest a quick recovery

2. None of the April dates have been taken off of toolband

- I would immagine if they knew for sure that the april dates would be canceled, they would have been deleted with the early March dates. Why otherwise would you only delete some? I think April is still a possibility.

[akasha_evil]

I can't wait for June 4th!!!!

[Systolic]

How quickly do tickets usually sell out at these things?

By the way, I've been to the Gwinnett Arena.. I saw Dream Theater there in August, 2005. Its a really nice arena, but the food is outrageously expensive.

[insaner]

damn i almost got fucked on this one. the online system decided to quit for some fucked up reason. i called on the phone and somehow still got the floor. sec 5 row d seat 10, see ya there!

[ibelyias]

EEekkkekeke....tix went fast (as expected). I landed some Section 100 action! How did everyone else do?

[SinepTaf]

104. They went WAY faster than I was expecting.

[ibelyias]

Show's already been sold out for a while. Insane.

edit: Nevermind. Ticketmaster just screwed up. Of course!

[SinepTaf]

Just ran a search for 1 ticket and it came back none.

[insaner]

of course. i got floor so im cool. still pissed, i was on at 10 exactly. glad i made that phone call.

[phr34k]

section 107, row Z, seats 17-18 not the best... but hey... im there!

[Karen65]

Floor: Section F6, Row D, Seat 12... Can't wait!

[ibelyias]

awesome. Glad to hear everyone got a ticket. Yes, I'm just happy to be going to the show. This is not the biggest place they'll play on this tour, by a long shot.

[a788]

i got floor section f8. do you think they are going to have chairs set up so that it would be GA? or do you think that my seats will suck...

[Runner701]

Ok ... so am I to Assume that the floor is not general admission. I have never hear of such a thing for a Tool show or any other Hard Rock/Metal show for that matter.

My floor tickets bought at 10:00AM for Greenville are listed as "Floor Seating" FL3 Row L. Does this mean that Tickets *in seats* are being sold for the floor? What About General Admission?

[a788]

that's what im trying to figure out. F3 is hell of a lot better than F8, though.

[bozziodrummer000]

God damn i went to publix right when they went on sale...i was second in line and NOONE got floor tickets.. congrats to whoever got em.

I did get seats tho in section 200... not close but ive seen em before and im sure the sound will be pretty awesome since its dead in the middle.

[phr34k]

i got floor section f8. do you think they are going to have chairs set up so that it would be GA? or do you think that my seats will suck...


When i was there for APC....the floor was Gen admission standing room only...

but for some reason.. i think they might be trying to squeeze every dollar possible out of this one... probably seated...

[Runner701]

I have been to roughly 15 large venue Hard Rock/Metal shows and none of them have used seating on the floor... Im a bit confused?

[a788]

wow... thats really annoying. i got the last four floor tickets possible, too, says the lady at ticketmaster. i was so excited, too. damn.

[phr34k]

dont take what i say as fact though... they could just be listed as seats for headcount... either way.... youre in... :D man i cant wait... imma pregame like a mofo in the parking lot.....LOL

[a788]

hahaha me too, see you there.

[SinepTaf]

It looks like they are not doing any GA

[one]

SineTaf is right, all seats are reserved for this show.

i ended up getting a pair in section 119 right after they went on sale and a single in floor section 6 a little later.

[insaner]

Floor: Section F6, Row D, Seat 12... Can't wait!

trade ya!

[jamesbrownsplit]

I guess I shouldn't have seen "Reign Over Me" this morning...I'm sure I'll find a way in this biotch.

[Karen65]

trade ya!

Ha!

[pryingopenmy3rdeye]

section 222 row c seats 11 and 12

[tool/rush/mars]

Ive already seen them once on this tour and they had seats on the floor
click seating chart and where it says F? thats your section
personally i like it better i wasnt able to get floor tickets last time but managed to this time CANT wait

[Naga Royal Guard]

so (F) Floor is standing?

[tool/rush/mars]

FLOOR HAS SEATS

yeah but if youre shafted in the back, you cant see them as well if you would be elevated by the arena seating..... i have floor, too. F8. I'm short, too. I guess im jsut going to wear some big ass heels.

[insaner]

Ha!



hey, its the same row!

[insaner]

yeah but if youre shafted in the back, you cant see them as well if you would be elevated by the arena seating..... i have floor, too. F8. I'm short, too. I guess im jsut going to wear some big ass heels.


shafted, big ass, heels... theres something strangely erotic about your post.

[jamesbrownsplit]

well, I'm able to pull tickets now...hope I think they are way up there though.

[MarkSucks]

If you hurry you can get atleast one ticket on ticketmaster.

[usefulidiot]

From what I know of the floor arrangement, it's to make it harder for folks to purchase high numbers of floor seats in one order. i.e. you're much more likely to get 6 floor tickets for an open floor section than you are 6 floor seats when the sections are separated off. I've been to the Gwinnett Arena several times and never seen actual seating in the floor sections, but I guess it's possible.

[Naked&Fearless]

Anyone upset about the fixed floor seating? I think its terrible. I have floor seats and want to boycott these "seats". Who's with me? Seriously! Let's just not sit down.

[a788]

if anybody gets an extra ticket, let me know, please.

[Sasha]

Ok, so this is just complete and utter bullshit. No General Admission? What the fuck? You are a rock band, people are going to want to stand and jump and do whatever needs to be done. I understand you don't want moshing and you're money hungry assholes, but Jesus Fucking Christ.

To top it all off, my internet decided to quit on me right around 11:30, so I couldn't order anything. Had to call it in and around 12:06 got through, and in six fucking minutes I got Sec. 120, Row H, Seats 5 & 6. My first time going to see Tool and I get fucked over. Maybe next time I'll just join ToolArmy. Pathetic!

[Systolic]

Ummm... I got concourse seats... section 119 Row M seats 8 and 9...

Ive been to the arena before, and I know that those seats are decent. Floor seats are GA. I saw Dream Theater there duting Gigantour, and the "floor seats" were actually GA....

I dont know if its still like that or not though.

[Khastra_KSC]

Any ToolArmy members had their presale tickets for this show process yet?
Mine are still listed as new...

[Telkar]

2 F6 tickets for my friend and I. We'll be there.

[tool/rush/mars]

All you fags who want to mosh at a tool concert need to stay home and cut your wrists. The band clearly wants seats there were seats on the floor last time I saw them not too long ago. A band like Tool can give a phenomenal performance based on the vibe they get from the crowd and if you want to mosh then Tool is just going to play the songs and get out of there. IF you want to make a connection with the band try to realize they don't want your "dumbass moshing kid that only likes sober" even in the crowd.

Seats are a good idea, you dumbass meatheads need to stick to Avenged Sevenfold and Korn concerts you dumb clowns. Jesus Christ you dumb people make me sad to call myself a human,

Wahhhh i have a seat and cant run into other smelly people. Lets boycott this..if you fucking idiots want to boycott this that means DO NOT GO TO THE SHOW. TOOL DOESNT WANT YOU THERE AND YOU DON'T EVEN WANT TO BE THERE YOU JUST WANT TO MOSH BECAUSE YOU THINK IT MAKES YOU COOL OR MAKES UP FOR YOUR SAD PATHETHIC LIFE.

[usefulidiot]

Yes, I'm very happy about the seating arrangement. You don't have to run around smashing into people just because it's a concert. 13 years ago, Tool might've been that band, but their music has since evolved into something worth enjoying on a different level.

[systematicdecline]

i dont want to mosh, i want to be close as possible. morons.

[usefulidiot]

Well you got a floor seat so you're gonna be as close as "possible" given the seating arrangement. Having been to Tool shows in many different venues, my experience is that closer is not always better.

[a788]

well that does by preference. shut up.
and systematic! damn! your so luckyyyyy. F2??

[usefulidiot]

well that does by preference. shut up.

Ok.

[ROCKMOUSE]

well as confusing as post #69 was, u better be 7 wasnt confusing, meant toolarmy tickets got me 3rd and 4th row, for 55.00 dollars, 2 per member, 2 accounts= 4 tickets, extra 3 tickets bought thru ticketmasters were 360.00 dollars, and are way up the left side, my mom and pop can borrow my telescope, cause thier getting the nose bleed seats, my friends and me, have the killer tickets, oh yeah i turn 8 june 2nd na na nana na

Ok guy, just because i said boycott these seats does not mean i want to mosh. In fact, i dont understand moshing to Tool. I just dont want to sit. Sitting takes away some energy for me.

Tool is one of the most intense bands out there. I've seen them sitting and standing and I have to say the energy of their music hit me more when I was able to move around, not stuck in a seat. I feel more free being able to stand in general admission.

Im sure some people would mosh and whatever, they can do what they want. Dont get all bent out of shape because people interpret the music differnetly. Although i dont get it, im sure some people would want to mosh to Jambi. Fucking let them. What the hell does it matter.

Anyway, i stand by my boycotting of these seats. You'll see me down there. Ill be the guy standing in the aisle or standing by his seat. Join me because sitting just sucks!

[usefulidiot]

Tool just wanted to fuck everyone over who had Restless Leg Syndrome™.

[dr funkmaster]

Anyway, i stand by my boycotting of these seats. You'll see me down there. Ill be the guy standing in the aisle or standing by his seat. Join me because sitting just sucks!


You're not going to be expected to sit down during the show. The seats are simply to keep everyone in one place and prevent moshing. You'll be able to stand and rock out in your confined space, just like I'll be doing in the lower bowl seats. You may have people around you that were hoping to actually sit, but they'll be the minority and will stand with the rest of you when they can't see shit. I've been to quite a few TOOL shows at this point and have never been to one where more than 1/4 were actually sitting in their seats.

[usefulidiot]

Does anyone else find this entire conversation laughable?

[systematicdecline]

well that does by preference. shut up.
and systematic! damn! your so luckyyyyy. F2??

they werent cheap :-/

[insaner]

Does anyone else find this entire conversation laughable?


at least one more does.

[ROCKMOUSE]

great job people

[Naked&Fearless]

It was a little laughable, but i went to a Tool show in Daytona, FL damn, probably 4 or 5 years back and there were seats and everyone was sitting in their seats on the floor. I was terrified that was going to happen again.

Btw...someone got it right...its that damn restless leg syndrome - i showed my girlfriend and she thought it was hysterical...you hit it on the head.

[ROCKMOUSE]

6/4/07 fix the date and tonights 5/2/07 set list

[Naked&Fearless]

I love the new set list. I'm crossing my fingers for Push It. Before I even saw Push It on the list in San Diego I was telling a friend that is the one song (assuming Lateralus is a given) that I would love to see live. Seeing it somewhat in the rotation is great, but damn, I really hope they play it for. That would be amazing!

[iswingonthespiral]

I am driving 8 hours for this show. This will be my 3rd time seeing them on this tour. I really hope they have a different setlist. The 1st 2 times I saw them they played identical setlists. I would love to hear Right In Two. Don't get me wrong though I will be happy with whatever they play. I grow tired of people bitcing about setlists.

[rickymuggs1]

I have been having a feeling all week!
My feeling is that we will get Third Eye. I know its not gonna happen but for some reason I think that this is gonna be a special show. Anyone else find it odd that this is like the ONLY show sold out in the south east?

Maybe that means something See yall at the show!!

Im very excite!

[Naked&Fearless]

I'll be Rain Dancing with ya! Give us Push It!!!! SO FUCKING EXCITED!!!!!!
