Anyone know where we can physically get tickets?Or is online the fastest way?
Paramount box office doesn't open till noon
Ticketmaster locations are a lotto
online is a crapshoot.
I think you can only buy 4 at a time. I'll buy 4 if i can. Ill only need 2
will sell the others @ face value.
How ever this is still a LONGSHOT!!!!!!!!!!

YES. buy as many tickets as you can. then sell them @ FACE VALUE and make sure that you don't sell them to the scalpers. we can definitely outnumber the scalpers. don't let those scalpers take advantage of this. we can control our destiny.

Don't forget that when you wait in line in person there is a lotto system for the front of the line, so you can get there 3 hours early and still end up towards the back. Just give yourself time to park and get in line beofre the lotto.
unfortunately a friend of a friend type person to me has some sort of association to ticket broker folk, and mentioned a while back that there is some racket set up that certain ticket brokers are able to buy tickets thru ticketmaster before the general public...., such a bunch of shite. Usually only means they get the prime seats at big shows to sell at premium prices, but with a 3k capacity show it f#$cks the tru fans,
I am hitting this friend of a friend up for as many as they can hookup in case I dont get lucky on sat..., any xtras will try to make available at cost to the dedicated tool fans in these forums through this event thread

What? I've never seen that and I've worked at music venues. Is this something the theater itself does?

They played Vicarious again around 8:30/8:45 tonight and afterwards they (again) announced the show on 5/4 - they then aired a caller who inquired about when tickets will go on sale and the DJ said Sunday at 10am through Ticketmaster. (He then repeated it.)

Hey guys, this is my first post. I'm a total n00b on the toolshed forums. Just found out about the msg board a few days ago and now I'm addicted. I bring my laptop to class, and all i'm doing is checking this msg board. lol.
But I must say, the ticket sharing forum is awesome!! I, too, will try to buy as many as possible and offer at least 2 tickets if I can get my hands on any. =P
Yay! I'm glad we've got each other's back on this. Hopefully all the real Tool fans get into the show. I was able to get 4 tickets to the Berkeley theater show (with King Crimson) during the Lateralus tour. I sold two at face value to some cool guy I met on the Tool newsgroup. We met in Berkeley before the show and had a couple beers. Good times...

So I guess, Sunday, not Saturday.
Haha that caller was me!!
I will definitely be trying to get tickets, but I will come here and inquire about any extras if anyone scores any. I need 2 for my girlfriend and I, this is going to be interesting. It'll be her first tool show =)
I'm stressing out about this show. Me and my friend are hoping we can get tickets. Good luck to all of you, and hopefully the scalping bastards won't prevent us from getting in.
Be careful too, if you buy online, not to hit 'refresh' too often at 10 a.m. or they'll make you wait 5-10 minutes before you can try again!
edit: On one hand, doesn't the Paramount have like twice the capacity of Berkeley Community Theater? So, theoretically, it'll sell out a little slower?
OTOH, I think they limited ticket sales to 2/ea for that show. So it's a wash.
