Seriously, Tool need to play more than just two non-festival shows. There's gonna be people from all round the country vying for tickets and thousands of them are gonna miss out. I'll probably be one of them.

Last time they played in Melbourne was at Rod Laver, and that's only got a capacity of 15,000 which they can't fully use because the stage takes up seats.
I just hope I can get tickets from ticketmaster, and not some scalping mo-fo. That's a pretty steep as it is, I'd hate to see what a scalper would do with it. Last time a mate of mine bought tickets by sitting on the phone re-dialling all morning, but I think online ticket sales have picked up heaps since then ('02).
Next question is who'll be supporting them...?

Last time it was U18 as far as I can remember. I'm pretty sure a few of my friends were underage.

I hope there's not many tool fans in Geelong, there's only one outlet here and I'm tossing up whether to try to get tickets there in person or over the net.
Re: 2007/01/31 - Melbourne, AUS - Sidney Myer Music Bowl
Anyone lining up in Melb?
I reckon I'll line up and get mates to try the phone/net thing...figure if I get there by Thurs afternoon, I should have some hope....
(t) hick- I was living in Warrnambool last time, and there was one hell of a queue, so I'm guessing that Geelong will be worse.
Re: 2007/01/31 - Melbourne, AUS - Sidney Myer Music Bowl
There will be more shows than just these two. Why would they waste so much money coming to the country for just two shows?
This is how the other tours started too. Some people noticed a few shows popping up and then toolband made an official announcement of a heap of shows
Re: 2007/01/31 - Melbourne, AUS - Sidney Myer Music Bowl
I wonder why it's taking ticketmaster so long to say what the prices will be for the Melbourne show. I'm expecting them to be about the same as the Sydney, but it would still be nice to have the "More Info" link available for Melbourne too...
Re: 2007/01/31 - Melbourne, AUS - Sidney Myer Music Bowl
Yeah pre-sale would be AWESOME...but i dont think there's enough time, as tickets go on sale in less than a week...
I would have loved to line up for ticketsm but theres a slight issue of me being on the other side of the world...so I'll be up at 1am to jump on ticketmaster...funny thing is i'll be buying tickets for like 3 people haha who are in aus...seems kinda roundabout doesn't it? they should be buying MY ticket lol
Re: 2007/01/31 - Melbourne, AUS - Sidney Myer Music Bowl
From ticketmaster FAQ
"Different venues and events have different ticket limits. Ticketmaster.com.au discloses each event's ticket limit when you begin the purchase process. Please do not request more tickets than the published limit or your order will be cancelled. Should you want to purchase more tickets than the published limit allows, wait 24 hours before requesting more tickets."
They're announcing more dates in Aus and NZ soon. You guys don't actually think it will be 18+, do you? If it is, I'll cry.
To me it sounds like the "Additional TOOL appearances in Auckland, Queensland, Adelaide and Perth" will be the BDO. Hence "Queensland" not Brisbane (ie Gold Coast). I hope i'm wrong.
I hope they announce their plans before Friday or a LOT of people will be trying to get Sydney/Melbourne tickets. I know i will be.

Re: 2007/01/31 - Melbourne, AUS - Sidney Myer Music Bowl
this is whats annoying for me, i am willing to travel from brisbane to sydney or melbourne if theres no brisbane show, but i want to know for sure if theres not going to be a bris show before i go ahead with it...i also dont want to miss out on a ticket, big dilema.
Re: 2007/01/31 - Melbourne, AUS - Sidney Myer Music Bowl
Buy a ticket and then sell it on ebay if there is a brissy show announced. Nothing wrong with it if you only sell it at the same price or below that you bought it for.

My point exactly. I wish they would let us know by Friday. I tried emailing Ticketmaster, Blair, Lees and West but have had no response so far..

Doesn't worry me-(I'm in Melb)- but it'll still make it a bloody lot easier if they announce for sure what they're doing.
I've tried emailing ticketmaster about pre-sales too, and I'm still waiting.
