As an international Tool fan from Perth, Australia, I took a gamble in purchasing tickets. I've actually booked a plane flight over just for this show, and a San Diego venture. So I log on at 10AM (1AM my time) hit a que for 2 mins, see my "Best Available" selection gives me a GA ticket, and im thinking, screw that im after seats in the Balconys. So i refresh like a dumb ass and its 10:02AM , SOLD OUT.
WTF. You can imagine with international flights and hotel bookings hinging on this ticket, im freakin. 10mins later after spamming the selections, somehow a ticket comes available, and THANK THE GREAT MAN! I've secured a ticket. somehow.
Can someone clear this all up. This whole venue is GA now ? So we all have to turn up as early as possible to get Balcony Seats if we want them? WOW, I just don't get how a show sells out in under 2mins.
Seeyou all at the show. Lookout for a solo Aussie ready to Ride The Spiral
Dude ..that's awesome that you've scored a ticket. But I think the show sold out so fast since, so far, it's the only west coast show and I think it only holds like 7K people. But, as we see.. people travel for Tool! See you at the show!
I *may* have an extra ticket for this show. I bought one GA on Saturday but i got word today that tool is doing two shows in Denver on 06/28 and 29. The radio station in Denver apparently announced it this morning. It's on their website too....
that link above was linked to ticketmaster earlier today. Then this afternoon they had posted the ticketmaster page for their purchase, but now it directs you to aeg. interesting.
Tommys joynt is on the corner of van ness and Geary. It is approximately six blocks from the venue where tool is playing. The history on tommys is it is where metallica met Jason newstead to let him know he was the new bass player for the band. It is an excellent hof brau and has a cash only bar that has more beers than you can shake a mug at! See you there!!
Wow, never even knew that. Totally forgot about SF being the HQ of Metallica. Synchronicity is i've just bought tickets back here for their tour down under :)
Any place that has "more beers than you can shake a mug at!" is fine by this Aussie. Seeyou all at the show.
Indeed, if anyone's still wondering, the whole show's General Admission. Seats AND Floor are first-come, first-claimed.
Count me among the empty-handed, alas. I promised my band I'd buy 5 for us and then missed out entirely!
If anyone here finds they have extra tickets, I'd love to hear from you. If you want to make money reselling, StubHub & Craigslist beckon, of course. But if you want more good fans to attend I'll happily pay you all costs!
PM me or call 408-390-two five eight six. (I'll edit this if some awesome fan has found me already).
I'll even meet you at Tommy's Joynt - let me too extol the virtues of serious MEAT and cheap BOOZE they've got up there.
June 28 & 29 - Denver, CO @ Red Rocks on sale this Saturday.
July 13 - Sacramento, CA @ Arco Arena on sale TBD.

Keep checking ticketbastard for info on sac show...no details as of yet. Will definitely be doing the back to back shows!! Last time I did that, I got to see them break out pushit on the second night in San Diego!!! Also, last time they played in San Francisco, they brought out jello bafria(?) from the dead kennedys and played holiday in Vietnam. Hopefully something special will happen on one of these nights.
Will definitely be doing the back to back shows!!.
Good call. whats the easiest way for a solo travellin Aussie to get up to Sac in less than 24hrs for this second show? curious to see if i can squeeze this into my trip haha. TOOL Chaos! love it
Cheers mate, just checked, and it seems totally do'able :) catchin a bus to Emeryville, then connecting via Amtrak Train to SAC. Now when are these tickets going on sale... hehe, I would seriously laugh my ass off if I caught up with the same people at both shows. thanks for all the help guys.

Dude, I might just take you up on that one :) more research to do and tickets to source for this SAC show first. Seriously though, cheers for the offer mate.
My bad!!! You are correct. It was not a joke, just an honest mistake! Not real familiar with the dead kennedys and was trying to rely on a fuzzy memory from three years ago! I stand corrected!

Update on supposed sac show...just checked Arco arena on ticketbastard and arco web site and as of this moment there is no mention of a TOOL show. Will keep my eyes peeled for info. Sad part about a show at arco, is there are really no gathering points for pre show consumption besides the parking lot!!

it's actually a pretty nice parking lot for a parking lot. at least better than the oakland arena parking lot.

I got my ticket from StubHub, obviously with someone else's name on it. I looked the dude up (thank gawd he has a unique name), apparently he runs a fucking business SELLING TICKETS. What a fucking cock, all his business does is take tickets away from the real fans who want to see the show, in order to steal more money from the people who actually want to see the show.
Anyway, I just had to get that off my chest.
Still trying to find some ELL-ESS-DEE for the show so if anyone knows what's up, hit me up heh.

Man, thats just complete bullshit. no wonder its so hard to buy tickets, when these scumbags basically take half of them, and then try and sell them back to us at inflated costs... knowing we will pay up.
I remember going through the same thing for a Giants game in 08. had to pay triple for tickets because everything else had been sold out at TM. We don't have anything like StubHub or other Scalping sites in Australia. its pretty much just the Ticket Outlet and then maybe some noObs on Ebay. This "legal scalping" does nothing but damage.

Yeah, who do you think bought every ticket at 10:00:00? Those guys. and then the real Tool fans show up at 10:00:08 or 10:14 or 11:30 or whatever to find out all the tickets were sold out >:|
which is funny...because those fans do get their tickets anyway--from the scalpers who were the reason the tickets were sold out in the first place. So weird.

Knowing post-Lateralus tour Tool, the show is probably going to be identical. I'm not gonna drive SJ-Sac-SJ to see the same show again.
The show is pretty damn epic, honestly once a year is all I need to see. (even though I'm probably gonna download and listen to every bootleg from the tour)

That's very true, sir. I should give up faith in hearing Pushit live ever again. But, I think I read somewhere that it indeed occurred during a two nighter scenario.
Besides, I'd like to save my $krill for my newly formed "tattoo savings pot."

I'm not holding out for anything in particular. I would love to hear a dozen special songs but they're probably never gonna play Prison Sex OTRM or Third Eye ever again so I'm not gonna hold my breath.

They played pushit for first time on 10k days tour in San Diego on 5-3-07 and then alternated with right in two in that spot on the setlist. Occasionally they played pushit on back to back shows and then replaced both songs with flood(which was absolutely amazing!!!) around mid/end of October 07 and finished the tour with flood on the setlist. My dream would be to hear that monster drum beginning and hellacious scream as they break into ticks and leeches!!! A man can dream......right???

They initially debuted it during the two-night stint in San Diego in 07. But they played it quite a bit during that leg (6-7 times?)
I was lucky enough to see it in Orlando. Jaw dropping.
I wonder if they are gonna change the visualizations for the same songs. Some of the stuff I would wanna see again in a heartbeat (Rosetta Stoned has some trippy shit), but I got kinda tired of seeing the Schism video remix a couple times already.

I think i'd give my first born to hear that song .. lmao.
have they ever played Ticks & Leeches ? I heard Maynard nearly lost his voice in recording the track and vowed never to do it again... even an instrumental would be killer, just Danny pounding away.
To the SAC show question : yeh i think a few of us here are going to try again for tickets, and hopefully see them back to back. if only we knew when the bloody tickets would go on sale!

I'm hoping they keep that same ridiculously intense new Lost Keys they started doing last summer (I think Duluth might've been the first show where they introduced the vocal samples at the beginning?). The vocal samples (whoever it was. Leary? Huxley?) combined with Danny's synth work was unreal and nearly tore the roof off the place BEFORE Rosetta Stoned finished the job.
