Thank you Tool. Thank you.

Thank you Tool. Thank you.

Totally. I'm so happy right now but I can't help but shake my head and wonder why.

[nCommand]

So much for a Reading show. Knew it was too good to be true anyway.

See you at Atlantic City and Baltimore shows.

Its back on...but its a Monday. Wonderful.

[FirstDegree]

Im going to the Baltimore Show with My Little Brother. Second time going in the tour! (First was D.C.) This is wonderful. I cant wait! (again)

[rintoot]

baltimore in june, reading in july...gonna be sweet

[patientADDICT]

Any info on when these tix are going on sale? I can't even find a listing for them on ticketmaster.

[Romeda]

I'm confused, is the reading concert happening or not? If it is, I am blessed. If it isn't, I'll probably never get the chance to see tool again.

why wouldnt it be happening? its the last show that they posted

[Selassie]

[Strife21]

Good Luck getting tix Everyone.

[Strife21]

Floor 1 - Row SS - Seats 12 and 13

[Selassie]

Reading: Seat location: section 104, row D, seats 3-4,

Fucking pumped. I have great middle end seats for AC for the visuals, this show will have a great view of danny.

[metalforever]

section Floor1, row LL, seats 3-5

[Strife21]

very nice Metal Forever

[metalforever]

hehe..., yeah im relieved. The first time it went through i had floor 5. Then these tickets appeared, and i couldnt find the credit cards, so i was basically going through the process really slow so i was able to find the credit card and purchase the tickets. There for a second i didnt think i was getting them.

[rintoot]

how long do you think it will take this to sell out? i cant afford it now, but maybe in a week. and why are all tix 53???

[drunktank]

Just checked on Ticketmaster -- as of May 18, there are still seats available (off the floor). I'm really surprised by that, considering how quickly their show at the Tower (2 years ago) sold out.

[Strife21]

The tower holds 3,100 people

[drunktank]

The tower holds 3,100 people

True, but the Sovereign Center isn't a very large place -- it's larger than the Tower, I'll grant you that.

The Tower show sold out in a matter of hours, where this show's tickets have been on sale for 6 days now.

Not sure but the Atlantic City show took a while to sell out also.

[rintoot]

anyone selling any for this show?

[drunktank]

anyone selling any for this show?

I just checked Ticketmaster again (5/21/2007 at 5:20pm) -- there's still seats for sale in the 100 sections (off the floor).

[rintoot]

just bought 2 tix Floor 3 Row QQ 2nd time ill see them this summer...fucking pumped!

[cjbarker02]

I just got 2 tix sect 104 row A.

This is my first TOOL tour, but will 5th time seeing them on this tour -tower, tweeter, DC, last year, ...AC and Reading this year. I'm hooked...

[MadMax]

Just bought tickets for this show. It will be my first Tool show, and I can't wait. I'm wondering, if anyone has been to the Sovereign Center, or can simply help me out. My seats are in section 118. Will these be good seats?

Also, anyone know how security is there? Can you get away with smoking at your seat?

[ProfoundHaytred]

I just won tickets from 93.3 WMMR!!!!!
Helllll fucking yes!
Ill see you all there!

[davetgl98]

So, just a question....I have tickets to the show in the 104 section I believe.

But, since it is so far the last part of the U.S. 2nd leg tour before almost a month off before going overseas....do you think we'll hear something special played only for that show? Like they did in '02 with ticks and leeches? Maybe not that....but a extra long set where they incorporate perhaps something like The Grudge?

I know, I'm very hopefully optimistic....but one can wish, right?

[Impatient215]

Yeah, I think it's best not to hope for anything. Then you're not let down if it doesn't happen. I hear they've been playing Pushit, though. I guess we'll find out in a little over a month...

[Undertowing]

Just to make sure, do the rows on the floor section start with "AA" instead of "A"? Meaning, "AA" is the front row (not the 27th), "BB" the second, etc. I looked at the arena's website and it didn't get into that detail.

[metalforever]

im pretty sure it starts with the double-letters being ticketmaster weren't selling any single letters, nor any scalpers sites, which had something like row dd listed as fourth row.

[REQUIEMnJADED4U]

I want to go to this show and a bastard ticketbroker wants to charge me $600 for a pair of dead center front row tickets on the floor... >:(

[metalforever]

meh. thats not too too bad. Although, i think id settle for the tickets on ticketmaster instead...., or ebay.

[REQUIEMnJADED4U]

Yeah, I guess I'll go the eBay route but I'm hoping that the day before or day of the show they release better tickets.

Thanks a lot, I'm gonna have to forward that one to my friend.

[ryry85]

Check this out......i went on ticketmaster with full hopes of getting floor 5 dead center infront of the board..... you know how you have to type in the little code thing in order for ticketbastard to process you request? well my little code thing was MANTRA. thought that was pretty cool......than bam.....floor 5.....row LL.....dead center.....crazy right? but of course i'll have a super tall group infront of me but whatever....cant win em all right?.......stoked....baltimore this friday....reading in july.

[paranormalgirl]

I just saw them in AC over the weekend and now i can't wait for Reading.......Keep your fingers crossed for some PUSHIT!!!!!!!

[ryry85]

just saw em in baltimore friday....they pulled out flood....which was badass but i wish i would have moved from the rail to the back so i could here the maynard a little better....but it was a good time....trying not to think about reading for a few weeks...otherwise it will just drag onnnnn and onnnn.

[paranormalgirl]

right but i am counting down...i might have to have surgery but i am making them wait until after the show lol

[sinfall]

Just got tickets to this show. Wife and I saw them in baltimore last week.

[ateo]

I wasn't originally planning to see Tool anywhere but Baltimore but I was so freaking pleased with the show in Baltimore that I decided to see them again in Reading.

Since it's on a Monday and anyone I know who would have gone is working I'll be solo this time.

3+ hour drive each way alone.

Anyone from Northern Virginia (Fairfax or abouts) wanna car pool? I'll provide some gas money.

Man, I had the opportunity to see Tool in Europe (Italy) last year and I didn't do it. You better believe I am kicking myself over that one.

[paranormalgirl]

I got my tix for the reading show the day they went on sale.....before i even knew i was going to AC to see them

[sinfall]

[ryry85]

[ProfoundHaytred]

[kirkhorse]

I hope they check their setlists for the last few times they've played in the area, because they managed to play the same shit each show.

Pot twice

[paranormalgirl]

i vote for pushit its my fav song and i have never seen it live....if they play it I might cry

[OGT_71]

You will.

[Sp00k]

Mine as well. I saw it live in Baton Rouge for the 1st time. After the 7 hour drive from Dallas and taking 2 days off work, it was worth every last cent it took to get there.

[ProfoundHaytred]

how is security at the venue towards cameras? I want to bring my 10mp digi cam, but don't know if the venue uses metal detectors or anything.

[imbecilebychoice]

Man, I am coming from Florida to see them in Reading. Ohhhh it's going to be sweet.

[MyShadow683]

im driving in from central jersey to see them in Reading. I've never been to the sovereign center so i was wondering if anyone could tell me how the sound quality is.

Thanks in advance.

[Selassie]

Anyone that has been here - how good are seat in 104 Row D - I am assuming good.

Tminus!

[hessshaun]

Fucking balls! Tomorrow night at this time we should be getting ready for Tool to come up on stage. Can't fucking wait!

Security at Sovereign Center.

I have been to a few shows here, but nothing Toolesque. I will admit that I saw Chevelle and another band I will not mention.

Sound quality is great. Trust me, you wont be let down. As long as they have time to tweak their shit, should sound spectacular. Considering they have the day off today, I dont think that will be an issue.

Security. This is posted in order to answer two questions. Smoking. They only have one designated outside smoking area that is without security. It is very small and I am would imagine that it will be packed out there.

Cameras. I can tell you that they are very extensive in their checks to come into the building. Good luck, that's all I can say.

Security in general. I have never been to a show like this at the Sovereign Center in Reading and I am willing to bet right now that there will never be another show like this. They have no idea what's coming tomorrow night as far as security is concerned. I don't think they will have enough people to stop smokers, but they might try. Again, my previous experiences have been tamer shows...... so I wish I could give you a better answer. The last two shows I was at, the security guards really did not give a shit. If that is the case, everyone will be smoking and cameras will be flashing all over the place.

Good luck, be safe, and dont fuck your relative on the way home.

any metal detectors?

[hessshaun]

any metal detectors?

No. I have never seen any but I have been wanded there. I highly recommend paid parking for those of you unfamiliar with the area. Don't try and get fancy and park a few blocks away unless you want to get robbed or have your car stolen.

hmm....wonder if the wand will pic up my camera and i wonder if they would actually try and pat my crotch down. guess ill ahve to wait and see tomorrow

Should have a great view that will be better than most on the floor. Just depends on how they are set up.

[hessshaun]

Yeah I think you are safe on both fronts as long as you crotch it. They will not pat your crotch, but if they do, start yelling "RAPE!"

I just can't imagine how they are going to police this thing with security. Should be interesting.

yea... ive got a 10mp digi cam that is so slim and compact. tie the small wrist strap around my button on my shorts and and it sits right below the waist of my shorts not even visible. if i see a wand is used ill hook my keys to the front belt loop and if they come anywhere near patting my crotch ill yell for a supervisor and harassment LOL

Don't worry, there will be NO FLASH used by me during the concert. We all know that is a huge deal for Maynard :)

[sinfall]

Oh and as far as the show. Tool shows aren't really "rowdy" shows. a few people mosh, but not that much. Mainly people are stoned, trippin or just dancing and experiencing the music. Second show on this tour and we saw them in D.C. back in september.

[OGT_46&2]

I hope they play PUSHIT and FLOOD like they did in Boston a few nights ago.

[sinfall]

They played Flood when I saw them in Baltimore last month. great addition to the setlist

[Selassie]

Is parking right across the street on 9th normally available - or does it fill quick w/shows?

Fills quick but there is also a garage next door that takes a while to fill.

[sinfall]

I took off half a day from work and will be leaving baltimore around 12:30, so I should get up there around 2pm andmy wife and I will hangout up there during the day. In baltimore we hung around the tour buses and met Justin. hopefully we will again and ahve something for him to sign this time.

[Harry_Manback_1970]

I need one ticket for the show. Let me know if you have any extras. I can meet you beforehand. Best way to reach me is my cell phone 919-423-1906.

Thanks

[Gtiboi7]

coming out from central jersey.....want pushit/flood

[paranormalgirl]

I have one ticket if anyone is interested...PM me or email me at [email protected]

[nocatharsis]

ho-ly sh*t what an awesome show! Devinthedude hooked me up with some awesome tickets so me and my girlfriend got to see the show last minute! the setlist was something like:

Jambi
Stinkfist (extended)
Forty Six & 2
Schism (extended)
Lost Keys (no "excuse me doctor" dialogue but i don't think they ever do or at least not the other 2 times i heard the song live)
Rosetta Stoned (even after knowing all the words i still couldn't keep up with singing along live!)
Flood (glad they played it!)
they did a weird instrumental thing it might have been Useful Idiot, before going into Wings for Marie/10,000 Days
Lateralus (extended drum solo with the other drummer guy, who maynard sprayed toilet paper all over then put potted trees around his set, while this guy in a labcoat gave Justin beer after beer, what i'm assuming was beer anyway)
and they closed with Vicarious...

but yeah, probably the BEST time i've ever seen Tool! (Saw them at the Tweeter Center last year, and in AC last month) thanks again Devin for the awesome tickets!
