I had luck getting APC tickets for their small venue show in Chicago by going to a ticketmaster outlet at a record store in a somewhat obscure neighborhood in Chicago. I was second in line, that is I was number 2 or 2. I would suggest trying to find an out of the way ticketmaster outlet. This particular store, Coconuts, has closed. Those of you going downtown might want to split up and go to the Auditorium and also Tower records on Wabash, which I think has a ticketmaster outlet(you should double check on that, also check on their store hours...).

blair posted at the toolband website that they were not going to have an internet presale. i bougth 4 tix today (orchestra level row L) from a broker. does that make me an asshole? no, just really want to see this show. also, there are like 4-5 other major concerts going on sale tormorrow around the same time. whether or not you like bon jovi, there are like 10 million more bj fans and they will only get in the way when it comes to trying to buy tix from ticketmaster. anyways, i asked 'how do you know what row these tix are in, if they haven't gone on sale yet?' he said they were obtained through a fan club presale. either way, i'll be sitting pretty on the main floor. no mosh pit. no assholes elbowing each other. no mother fucking crowd surfing dickheads. i can relax and enjoy the concert in peace. i am an old man and my back hurts.
good luck with t-master. if not, cough up some dough for the licensed scalpers.
Additional Information:
Please note that a TicketFast delay will be imposed on this event for a minimum of 72 hours, in order to enforce the 2 ticket limit.
So it looks like there's a two ticket limit? What the hell is a TicketFast delay?? Is this a good thing? Will this increase chances of getting tickets? I dunno, but I'm gonna try. If I don't get any I'd love to set up something if anyone gets ahold of extra tickets.
"said they were obtained through a fan club presale."
and you believed him? I'm sure they buy the tickets along with everyonen else. Maybe they have a special connection with ticketmaster, or they know someone that works there. Either way, that must have been expensive. And although Tool is a great live band, I don't know if I'd be willing to pay that much. 66 dollars is pushing it. Anyways, people shouldn't sell their tickets for more than face value.

Ticketfast is where they basically email you the tickets and you print them out. So the delay is being implemented so they make sure that they enforce their policy of 2 tickets per name, address, credit card, ect ... This should make tickets available for more buyers, but if it actually takes 72 hours to release tickets bought on Saturday ... F5 for 3 days ...
wow... take a look at ebay.. (search tool chicago) there's over 60 tickets being sold for this Chicago show. They say to check back at 11am tomorrow to see what location the tickets are... wankers...
i dont think anyone is going to end up w/ much in the way of extras but if anyone should, pm me and i will be happy to compensate you well versus giving my money to the ebay fucks
I will try to get as many tickets as I can, and if I have extra's you can bet your ass that I will sell em at face value here. Those Ebay wankers (and brokers) really piss me off.

worse prob, bigger city, smaller seats (i think its 3300) My best advice is pray. Hit F5 every second until u see the magic button (on the more info page) and type that word VERY quickly
then pray (and get on a very fast internet connection)
i misspelled that auth. word wrong and had to delete it, only missed 2 letters (nervousness i guess). My g/fs mom, and g/f didn't think it'd be a big deal, but i had this feeling like it was going to sell out way quicker than what anyone expected, and sure enuff, it even blew me away. I was astonished i didnt get them
yeah, i honestly think it wont matter here, so many are showing up on ebay and what not, there is probably going to be atleast 5,000 people trying to get these tix online, the people who get them are going to have a 1 in 10,000 chance of getting the tix... ie the meaning behind the album! ha

so, your g/f's mom likes tool? what is her fav tune??
So...you know...if anyone manages to end up not going or come in possession of extra tickets...it'd sure be nice if you let me know in case I don't get any.
