I bet some of those people that answer the phone at the venue are pretty much clueless. That seating chart looks legit to me - not only have we not seen ANYONE with tickets in section 114, 113, etc., that map makes it look like only half of 106 and 115 have available seats. In other words, they took the time to check exactly what parts of the section will be available.
Im tellin ya...something has been screwy with this OKC show...you would think its the first concert the ford center or ticketmaster has done...Yesterday, all of a sudden there were tickets released on the floor, sec. 105,106,208,116, 115, & 223.
I called ticketmaster and bitched at three different people because suddenly there were better tickets than I got the second they went on sale. I got them to tell me they would exchange if my tickets had not shipped yet. According to them my tickets shipped yesterday so they couldnt exchange...I had to buy more on ANOTHER credit card and I got front row sec. 223 now...
The ford center website showed a half house floor plan until the night before they went on sale, then both ticketmaster & ford center showed full house seating. NOW, as of 2/17, ticketmaster is still showing full house and the ford center www.okfordcenter.com is suddenly showing a half house again...I called them and couldnt get a clear answer...they didnt know what I meant by "half house"
they wait and release tickets at the last minute,they reserve all the close floor tickets for radio stations,contests,brokers,ticketmaster auctions etc,and the ones that dont sell get released at the last minute to the General public at face value,meanwhile ticketmaster is taking advantage of us TRUE TOOL fans on their auctions by paying 400-650 a pair for floor tickets................
this is some bullshit i agree. i saw that 115 or 116 row B or something yesterday. anyone get TA tix? I ordered 2 from ticketfucker in section 116 row P for my Dad and his girlfriend, and the TA for me and my brother in law. I just hope they are "premium" or come in some day.
i can't help but bitch im sorry. whenever Tool has a concert I get all excited like you all do. we all want the best tickets we can get!
gotta be patient....
(stubhub has floor tickets available, so does ebay if you all need them for frickin $400/ticket) ! i already spent $230 on this concert lol
dont feel bad bro ive spent over 500 dollars now,im in TA too and avoided the presale cause its a joke,all the rules and how slow merch is on shipping things,i wonder if those guys are asleep over there all the time or what the deal is,i mean shit order a shirt and wait 3 months for it,No thanx.........
Ticketmaster truely pisses me off... i checked a couple days ago to see what the best available tickets were for some of my friends, they were in 328. now they are in 228, WTF???!!
I suggest calling Ticketmaster to see if your tickets have shipped yet, assuming that you aren't going wtih will-call or printed your tickets off, then proceed to bitch them directly for several minutes. You should then proceed to ask for your rep's supervisor and do the same, if that person is unwilling to exchange your tickets request to speak with their on-duty operation's manager. They'll tell you that this person is unavailable, but they're lying. Just keep asking. They do have the power to modify your order as long your tickets are still within their "possession." It is true that the TM reps aren't personally responsible for what has happened, but the company they work for is and these are the kind of things that customer service departments exist for. I am satisfied with my tickets, but disgusted at what has happened to many others so I encourage those who feel they've been wronged to do whatever they can about it!

I am on the phone with these fucking people as i type this... They are telling me they can switch my tickets that i paid $199 for 3 in section 324 they said they can put me in 223 or something but i will have to pay 32 more dollars... then i asked the lady how the fuck can that happen when there are only 2 prices and i got the most expensive the first time... she then says my total for the 223 section is 195 before conveince charges well my total for the 302 was 199... i swear they have some fucking problems at ticketmaster... now she is saying that an individual ticket before convenience charges are $65 and i told her well why the fuck are they 54 on the tm website so i am on hold because she is a dumb bitch and is figuring somethings out... i have been on the phone for 30 min and really not making any progress... WOW 38 fucking minutes and all i get is an upgrade from 324 row h to 324 row a... after i told the lady that the tm website said 54 a ticket i was on hold for about 5 more minutes then she comes back and says well there is nothing i can do today the people who could help you are not here today because of the holliday(presidents day) so she says call back tomorrow and see what they can do... i know everyone is well aware but fuck ticketmaster is a fucking joke.... im doing all this for my lil brother too thats what pisses me off i have 2 tickets in 102 with my gf but i might sit in 223 if i can get these fucking tickets switched

I'm dismayed to hear this. That is complete bullshit about the prices being different - what a joke. It sounds like they're trying to add additional charges for exchanging seats! This is the first time that Tool has dealt with TM in Oklahoma and it's been complete shit through and through. If they don't go back to tickets.com then this very well may be the last time I see Tool in my home state, or anywhere else for that matter. At least she was willing to do something, but I didn't even think about today being President's day. I truly hope you're able to get something worked out..
down with Ticketmaster.

Yeah I ordered a shirt from TA once and it took so long to arrive that, when it did I was like..."Holy shit someone mailed me a free tshirt" then I was like "oooooh now I remember!"
Anyone else not listening to Tool until the concert? Even though the last one was unbelievable, I looked at too many set lists and listened to every album and it kind of ruined the "suprise" of it all.
I dont know if its bullshit or not but there are rumors flying around TOOL Army that Danny Carey broke his arm and this tour will be cancelled,im still waiting to hear if this is fact,this isnt public info yet. The guy who posted this claims to be credible and is part of the industry..............Lets hope not!
Haven't been able to find anything to back this up as of this morning. Who knows, though.. shit.

so has anybody heard anything about danny yet???????????????
No official confirmation about if it's true or not true. The only thing we have to go off of is the velvet rope forum posting and the fact that the April 7th show is going to be rescheduled, which might not have anything to do with the rumor at all. It's almost 1:00 PM on the west coast, you would think that Blair would have posted something by now if it was true?

Read the General Tour thread and theres a post that references some surgeon who repairs such injuries and he says that full recovery may take 6-9 months. At least I got to see them twice in '06. I'm gonna just hold on to my tickets and be patient. Really feel sorry for those fuckers in San Antonio who were already waiting for the make up date from when Maynard was sick.
EDIT: Turns out that info is from WebMD
