Just an FYI. I saw Nine Inch Nails at the Tweeter last month. We had lawn seats and security came up to us (and everyone else on the lawn) and told us we could go and find empty seats anywhere in the open air seating if we wanted (which would be sections 9 thru 15). I saw Depeche Mode here years ago too and security did the same thing once the show began. Not sure if this show will sell out (many people dislike this venue) but if it doesn't, there's probably a good chance people can move up.
Thanks phaedrus. Seems like the best bet for tickets is just waiting in line at a Ticketmaster outlet. I was # 2 in line for the Orpheum show and got 6th row.
It's a dump. The law and open seating area sucks, mostly because of the shitty sound and giant poles you have to look around. But whatever, it'll still rock.

Quick questions to those of you who got tickets...Compared to the last small venue tour a few months ago, how easy was it to get these tickets?...And how did you go about getting them (ticketmaster, call up the venue, etc.)?...I'm getting tickets tomorrow for the Camden show, so I'm wondering how much preparation I need for tomorrow...Thanks!
orpheum sold out in 10 seconds while this sold out (actually you might still be able to get some grass seats) in about 15minutes. you can still get a few scattered single seats. considering the sell time was never posted on toolband or toolarmy or anything, it sold extremely fast.
Are/were there presale tickets available to TA members for this tour? I never realized ticketmaster was this bad (back in 01/02, was able to get great seats the day of the show...)
Its 3:30 right now, and they still have tickets for seating.
Just for anyone that dosn't know/cares. I talked to ticketmaster, and they said anyone with a Gold card got a pre-sale. The Tweeter center has a buisness deal with them.....bastards.
Oh yeah, I got section 8. But I have every intention of inciting a section 8 riot to get down to a better level. How the hell some of you got sections 2-4, if fucking beyond me. Ticketmaster needs to get it's ass kicked

Alot of venues hold tickets til the day of the show. In Amherst, MA at the Mullins Center I went the day of and got great seats when the show almost sold out. It's all luck of the draw. But I dont REALLY understand what all the fuss is about Ticketmaster considering I've never personally had a problem *knocks on wood* and I've bought alot of tickets in the past 4 years or so.

I got section 4... but when I look at the seating chart it seems to me that I would like section 5 better since it is more to the center... so why do you only say 2-4? I'm happy with my tickets but is 4 really that good with it being off to the side? Last time I went to the Tweeter Center was several years ago and I was towards the back of section 7 and I don't remember anything about the view so I hope the middle of section 4 provides me with a good one :)

Since people are asking, where are my Section 8 Row J peeps? Holla...
Also, Dharma, did the gold card people get a Tool presale or did the rep just say that gold card people get presales for some things? Cause I tried to get Massive Attack tix at about 10:15 (also went onsale today) and it wouldn't let me without a gold card password. Damn, Ticketmaster really does blow.
My input about the Tweeter is that people just seem to suck all around once they walk in there. Maybe it's the size of the place, the openess--that it's outside. I've been to tons of shows here and I always seem to get into an argument with someone. Maybe it's because everyone's always drunk. Don't get me wrong, I drink too. Not at shows but whatever. I don't really know. You usually have about a 99% chance of getting stepped on, spilled on, fallen on, tripped over. haha. Yeah, there's just too many people around for me. I like the intimate venues better. People tend to be more respectful. Like the Orpheum. What a great time. The fans that night were incredible. No complaints about that night--Perfection.

intimate shows are great, except i can't usually get tickets(tried hard with the orpheum, sold out in 10 seconds). i remember seeing sigur ros at the boston opera house (second best show i've ever been to after tool) and it was so intimate and amazing. then i saw them at the bank of america pavillion, it was raining and really cold, still amazing, would have been fine if my friend's boyfriend would stop complaining about the cold every 5 minutes, but definitely not the same experience.
as for people at concerts, i think the biggest thing that gets me is people complaining. especially at general admission shows where everyone is crowded together in front of the band, like tool at the tsongas arena in lowell. people complaining about being uncomfortable or getting shit spilled on you, or getting kicked in the head by crowd surfers. YOU ARE AT A CONCERT, enjoy the entire experience. if you don't want all that you can go sit around in the seated areas, but don't go up front and not expect the things that come with being up front.
this place is seated so hopefully that won't be an issue.

The Orpheum sold out in seconds. For these bigger venues, only general seating showed up in a couple of hours. Your best bet would either 1.) Get on the Ticketmaster website, and continously refresh the page until they go on sale. 2.) Have a friend do the same thing, you have a better chance of getting good seats. 3.) If you come up with something really shitty the first time around, throw them back and try again. 4.) Have all your credit card information ready, so when you get to it, the page won't time out. 5.) Try calling the box office at the same time. Alot of people who went to the Orpheum got good tickets that way. 6.) Find a place that sells them, and stand in line. So, 1-5 or 5&6. Good luck.

have to disagree........got tix at 10:07 at a ticketmaster location..
and have sec 10 row t.........."LIMITED VIEW"!!!!
I tried ordering tickets at 10 this morning, only to come to battle with my network and not get any at all. For some reason it doesn't let me purchase things when it feels like it. oh well. I'm not paying a ridiculous amount like for the Orpheum, so I hope everyone has a great time.

So many other factors are involved, like how fast the TM clerk is, whether someone in front of you pays with credit, and also the number of tickets you're buying. I only needed 2 tickets and I think that helped with getting the closer seats. Many of the people I was in line with bought the max of 8 and all those people buying 8 tickets at a time only just pushes the available seats further away faster for everyone in line behind them. Maybe a 4 or 6 ticket limit would have better results.

I don't know the details my friend. All the woman said was that the Tweeter center has some kind of deal with "whoever", and people with a "gold card" get the bonus of presales for certain events.
And I really hope the "gold card" isn't for AAA, because I have one of those, and it would really be a kick in the nuts if missed out on that, just cause I never knew.

hahah i'm pretty sure the presale had nothing to do with one's automotive repair status. i'm pretty sure the gold card is something to do with live nation or some other bs
i got 4 tickets for section 8 row W and i also have a single ticket for section 5 row Z that im willing to sell/trade
Well it seems like many of you I have no clue what this show is going to be like. I have never been to the Tweeter Center and this is my first TOOL show. I was fortunate enough to get Section 3 Row GG. Mind you I tried to get tiks exactly at 10am and was only able to get one ticket. I hope that my view isnt goin to be that bad, and if it is I will attempt to make my way towards the front. Anyone know if this will be possible, to move up and comments on my current location would be appreciative.

You'll be able to stand pretty much anywhere you want - especially once the show starts. And it helps that you're already in the first 3 sections since you won't have to get past security AT ALL...I'm in section 4 and definitely plan on upgrading.

Will anyone be driving from/through there? I'll be in Amherst and if anyone could give me a ride I would be eternally grateful. My gratitude would register in the form of gas and parking money...
Pm me if interested/available. Thanks in advance.

lol if I see you guys I'll stop and say hi and since you'll both be drunk you'll be honest with me if you put anything in the PB & J, haha.
I've found that going to the last show of tours is better. The first show of tours most bands seem rusty. Although if it's been a REALLY long tour the band can tire throughout. But still, I rather go to the last show.

You going with the Multi Grain Milton's bread on those PB&J's, if so I'm in.
I think these guys kick it a little harder the last night they're state side. I don't think it's a coincidence they've ended the last 2 US tours in MA either. You can feel the love at the shows.
I am surprised there are still tix available. That's a total shocker.
Question is will more shows be added? ME, NH, RI, CT?

RI - no because mansfield isn't that far from RI
ME & NH - no because theres not nearly enough people living up there
CT - maybe

I'll collect the section 13 troops to back up the push forward once section 8 mobilizes.
9:50 to 10:01 refresh computer....2 tickets "Best Available"....Section 13.
Hating ticketmaster brings us all togther about a common cause though.
Well let me re-phrase that...nobody IMPORTANT lives up there.

And just because Mansfield the last show thats been announced doesn't mean it's the last show of the tour. Do you really think they would do a us tour and play anywhere in the southeast? More dates will be announced soon.

It's not entirely impossible, from the sounds of it, they're hitting Europe again though too. Boston's a pretty good launch for that trip. Maybe they add some dates in NYC? Maybe they head down to Georgia? Seeing as this show still has tix available, what's their incentive to add another in the area?
There's a pit, it's on the lawn about 100 yards away from the band.
Korn played with TooL for one of the shows I've seen here, I think it was one of the Ozzfests. A quarter of the lawn broke out into a massive pit for the Korn set, it was pretty humerous. I saw some people come out that had gotten absolutely destroyed by the railing.

Did the show sell out? I was just on ticketmaster to see what was still left and I can't even get a single ticket in the lawn. Anyone have any info?

I did the same thing in '01. Went to Portland, Mansfield, Hartford, Wilkes-Barre, Hershey, Philly, Pittsburg, Virginia Beach, and both MSG shows. Best 2 weeks of my life, although it cost me a couple thousand bucks.
I'm just glad I didn't get tickets for this fucking show.
