Nice! Earlier than I thought, and on a Saturday! I'm dissapointed that it's not in the ACC, but the Molson Ampitheatre can be awesome as long as your close to the front.

Nith Sahor

It's way better this way. At the ACC there are gonna be those annoying fuckers shining flashlights in your face and the distance distraction (if you're sitting in the far 100s sections)... when I was at Molson for NIN everybody around us was smoking something (it's open air, what's the point of going at them?)

thepatient_10k

any idea of when it goes on sale

AHHHHHHHH!

Yeah, I'm gonna have to go for presale again. Molson is WAY better than ACC. ACC is built for hockey. It sounds like hockey when a band plays there - all of the sounds bouncing off everything. Molson Amphitheatre is a very, very good large venue. When you want to pack a lot of people in for a concert, IMO Molson Amphitheatre is the way to do it. I saw Dave Matthews Band there a few weeks ago, and it was amazing. You gotta be close to get the realllly good experience, but there isn't really a bad seat in the whole place except way back on the lawn.

TMA is a FAR better venue than the ACC, and it's on a Saturday!!!!

Let's hope for a new/longer setlist! I'm hoping they play 10k.

thepatient_10k

the question is will there be a presale

Underalus

DAMMIT! It's on Rosh Hashannah! They better add a London Ontario date before the TO tickets go onsale so I can make a choice. And it better not be on Yom Kippur.

Nith Sahor

Yeah, they should add another Ontario date, simply because Ontario is such a huge province (and if they don't there are going to be too many people going at the same pool of tickets -> another clusterfuck)

J A G

I'd be very suprised if there is a presale.

Underalus

There are more dates to come, there's no way they're going to shaft ottawa, london and hamilton by clusterfucking toronto. They definitely have a high concentration of fans in Ontario, probably the highest with Vancouver in second.

I've decided that I can miss a little bit of Rosh Hashanah for some Tool.

transcend187

I bet there's at least one person who looked at this thread and said, "What the fuck is Rosh Hashana?"

Spoon

Never been to the Amph - people care to elaborate on what the seating is like, best seats, is it all standing, is it all GA? etc...

J A G

There's not really a bad seat in the house. 200's to 300's from my experience give the most balanced sound. The view is great from there. I've also sat in the 400's and was very pleased with the sound and the view.

There are 2 GA sections. One up front with a capacity of 1000 (I think). Personally I think the pit sucks, but that's only because I can't stand having my personal space invaded. The 2nd GA section is the lawn behind the 400 section. Tickets for this area are typically cheaper (usually half price). No seats but not so far away that you can't see.

100 Level is used alternately as a General Admission "pit" standing room area for some events.
Levels 100-300 are partially covered, Level 400 and Lawns are not covered.


Level 200 is 58'-120' from front of stage
Level 300 is 145'-178' from front of stage
Level 400 is 195'-230' from front of stage

Underalus

I'm going to have to make up for doing this by repenting WICKED HARD on Yom Kippur. Oh Judaism, the things you do to me.

Excitement :D

J A G

I find it odd that the Vancouver show isn't sold out yet. Especially since one of the above posters speculated that Vancouver may have the 2nd highest concentration of Tool fans in Canada.

I imagine the Toronto show will sell-out in minutes, if not seconds!

Spoon

Jag - thanks for that post.

blood_wh0re

I've seen concerts at the Amphitheatre and the sound was pure shit. I can't imagine how a bass-heavy band is going to pull off a good show in that windy whoompy wall-less area....but what the fuck am I thinking? it's TOOL!!! and they're coming back to Toronto!!! and I'm so excited that I need to change my panties!!!

sianspheric

Ampitheatre is a great venue, but yeah.....not very loud.
I'm still way happier this is there than at the ACC.

I think I might just try to get lawns for this.....be cheaper and now as ridiculously hard to get as floors.

Seven Deep

I might have to make the trip up for this one.


I highly doubt you'll see a second Ontario show on this leg.

It wouldn't make any sense to have another show that close to Toronto, unless they play Ottawa.

Underalus

goddamn, come to london you bastards, and not on Yom Kippur.

if i could get tickets to the hummingbird centre through ticketmaster the conventional way then hopefully i can get them for this one. Or if theres a presale for toolarmy thatd be nice.

In-0blivian

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! I just saw them at the hummingbird and then NIN at the molson, and now tool is coming back, hurray!!!! FUCK YEA~~~~~~

sianspheric

I dont know about that dude....I'm sure the GA, 200's and 300's will sell pretty fast, but if they have the lawn open and the 400'as might take a while to fully sell out.

I cant see 17,000 tickets going incredibly fast, I can see it selling out, but it might take a few hours for all the shittier seats to go.

GoLoBuLouS

This sounds like an awesome venu. I'll definately make the trip back out to Toronto for this one... but why have they forsaken Montreal!?

ChrisBurnham

Any guesses as to how much the tickets will be? (If it's $66.66 again, I don't think I can swing that.)

I'm betting this will be sold out in less than five minutes too. The eBay scalpers will undoubtedly be brutal. [/nervous]

It will not sell out in five minutes. people this is not a theatre tour. When is saw Tool in October of 2002 in East Lansing at the Breslin Center which only holds about 8 K for concerts were available to purchase online two weeks before the show. Now off course to get the best seats you have to purchase right way. I'll be online right when the Detroit Date goes onsale. I just wanted to make it known dont worry about them selling out. you will be able to get great seats if you buy them when they go onsale.

Spoon

Seems like other arena shows have seats on the floor - anyone think the 100 section at the Amph will be reserved seats rather than a pit? I bet tickets will be $35-$60

J A G

Tickets will be priced at $69.50 for good seats/GA, and shitty seats or lawn tickets will be priced at $35.50.

thepatient_10k

has a presale been confirmed or anything?

slicknickshady

nope. none yet. :(

they really wont make a difference though. ill buy it through TA if they do have one but you can just get just as good seats through ticketmaster. I'll let you know if they do. They have to let us know today or tommorow because the first shows go onsale the 15th.

Spoon

I was just looking at the 2001 tool tour schedule, and they played Montreal the day after they played Toronto. This seems likely to happen again, as I really don't see them playing just one date in that geographical area, and they'd have no problem selling out montreal.

Plus, the 24th is open on the schedule...

slicknickshady

Anyway i hope theres another michigan date sceduled after the Chicago show but Before the auburn hills show so i can hit two of them.

kwijibo

why is ticketmaster so slow?? all the new dates aren't even on there yet! i really wanna know when they go on sale!!

Spoon

I'm thinking the tickets will pop up soon and then be on sale this Saturday...

sianspheric

so far nothing today.

so im guessing we might see a thursday onsale at 10, or saturday.

but check ticketmaster.ca and toolband to confirm.
