If anyone gets an extra ticket, know that by selling it to me it will be going to a troo tool fan, instead of a fake one.

the wang centre is the theater company that uses it, so the wang center is the official name. when theres a concert there though its known as the orpheum.

Re: 2006/05/21 - Boston, MA - Orpheum Theatre

well the wang center is all the theater group... i saw dream theater there and they dont have the past scedule for dt on it... so it must be a seperate group that rents it out.

ill buy tickets even if im not sure its real.

EDIT: on the dreamtheater ticket it says that i went to the orpheum and not the wang center. Judging by pictures its the same place.

ToolArmy now lists the Boston show as being at the Orpheum Theater, so questions have been answered. Ticketmaster was right.

Re: 2006/05/21 - Boston, MA - Orpheum Theatre

this is exciting!

think it will be one of those small venue shows that is impossible to get tickets for? if i can't go i'm gonna be a little girl about it and cry.... ok well maybe not but i'll be sad. i'm gonna do phone/online approach, and have my boyfriend do the same.

Front Row Tickets my ass. Been to amny of shows at the Orpheum, and there's no way I would pay $135/ticket(their cheapest) to sit in the back of the balcony for anyone. $415 for 11th row is their closest seat. Keep it, i'll give ticketmaster a try on Saturday, thank you very much.

Re: 2006/05/21 - Boston, MA - Orpheum Theatre

Alveolate, I just got off the phone with Ticketmaster and the Orpheum - limit of 2 per person. You may have to bring 3 friends...

In other news, I'm a total newb at this whole fighting-for-tix thing, and this tiny venue is going to be sold out in 2 minutes. Can any veterans give me advice on how to get the best seats at box price? Do I camp out at the Orpheum? Do I have a ticket-buying party with lots of computers and phones in one room? I would LOVE LOVE LOVE good seats to this.

edit: I'm getting a bunch of real fans together, either to go camp at the Orpheum or bombard Ticketmaster on Saturday. If we manage to get more tix than we have people, I'll post it in the swap forum.

Re: 2006/05/21 - Boston, MA - Orpheum Theatre

If anyone can get an extra ticket for this show, I would love you forever. I have a race tomorrow morning, so I will not be able to get tickets and I am a college kid who cannot afford to pay scalper prices. Pleaseeeeee.

Kevin,
If you happen to buy more tickets, I am in the category of "need[ing] some", so I would be more than happy to purchase them from you. I have extra Red Sox tix for the Monday night game against the Yankees the night after the concert (5/22) in the Right Field Roof Deck, so I'd be willing to throw those your way, obviously in addition to compensation for the Tooltix.

Re: 2006/05/21 - Boston, MA - Orpheum Theatre

hiya tools,

i live less than a mile from the Orpheum and just went there to see if people were camping out over night and for those of you who are worrying about missing out on tickets....

well STOP, because they are not allowing people to stay overnight nor are they allowing people to start forming lines before 9am tomorrow. instead, they will place everyone who gets there after 9am in a lottery and draw #s for priority sales, and yes ticket limit is two per person.

adios,

~man-gnus

Re: 2006/05/21 - Boston, MA - Orpheum Theatre

thats a stupid setup, i think. someone dedicated enough to camp out in the street the night before should definitely get tickets. it kind of defeats the purpose of a line.

i am going to have 2 friends on the website tomorrow morning while i got play the lotto and hope for a good drawing. good luck to the rest of you.

how fast do you think tickets will sell out and how close to the front of the line do you think you have to get tickets?

Re: 2006/05/21 - Boston, MA - Orpheum Theatre

damn, so is it really only two tickets per buyer? if im on ticketmaster getting them, if have to windows open for ticketmaster and buy 2 in one window and 1 in another, would that work?

i really need three tickets for this. if i end up getting just two that would be heartbreaking for one of the three of us who wont get to go.

Ticketmaster would probably end up cancelling both orders. just stick to the two ticket limit. you can only buy two tickets. they have ways of finding out if you ordered more, and they always do.
