it's desperation, man. it's the heart of capitalism! sale goes to the highest buyer!
look, people aren't gonna come in here and sell to poeple out of sympathy, or who has the best sob story. they will go for who offers most. frankly, i can't monetarily afford it, but mentally, and spiritually, i can't afford to miss it. that's the dilemna. i tried to buy for 2 diff. shows online at diff. times, right at the 'go' buzzer and got denied.
i'd just like to add: fuck scalpers. fucking dirtbags. cocksuckers. they take tickets from loving fans with the only intent of selling them back at 6 fold the price the paid. that's gotta be the highest profit return of any saleable item in the world. and the fact is, with tool in such high demand, we all got raped, we got proper fuct by the scalpers or brokers or whatever the fuck u call the dicks that make a business out of fucking people that love the music and want to enjoy it.

Hey seven this is my third post. I'll send you a picture of my tickets on scented paper so you can smell my success, but I'll make sure I put it on soft paper and then you can wipe your ass with it. I'll see the rest of you newbies at the show.

Good deal.
Make sure to send a setlist so I know what to expect in Toronto.
got the money? get on stubhub quick, apparently that is where ALL of the tickets went, i've probably watched 2 or 300 go thru there since 10 mins after the sale
such a fucking sense of entitlement. don't know if it is just america, or if it is tool fans, or just people posting in here (including me), but what makes anyone think they deserve these tickets more than anyone elese?? EVERY ticket outlet uses random order.

Not true at all...they used to do first come first serve
__________________ "WITHOUT A LITTLE EVIL, GOOD WOULD NEVER EXIST"
i just hate the fact that it appears that atleast half of the tickets got in the hands of people charging 3-15x pricing
in a way its our own fault, they are not dumb, they worked their asses off to get those tickets because they new we would pay a rediculous markup... organization is what is needed, i know i paid it for a ticket, but if the tool community was organized and devoted enough to refuse to buy tickets at those prices then maybe we would see some change and prove that we are as elite as we feel we are.

..i'll be there too, and i'll be waving at you from row L. this is only my 5th tool show; does that make me a newbie? i would've been 6 shows, but the normal, il show (ISU) was cancelled back in 2002.
sorry no, i paid crazy price on stubhub for one. they still have some but it looks like the decent tix at 'decent' (less than 300) price are gone or sparse
Not true at all...they used to do first come first serve
true, but they used to also let people sleep out for tix, which i did ONCE. it was all good from 8:00 pm until about 15 minutes before the tix went on sale (8:45 am??), EVERYBODY rushed the door and all of a sudden there was no line. it was fucking chaos.

$60 for a show is a lot. I can't really afford any more than that. Aw well, I didn't have much hope to begin with.

i got screwed on that show also
row l balcony 1??[/QUOTE]
lol...i hate Q101, and as a result, i didn't listen to the radio that day. i drove all the way to ISU, stopped at jimmy johns for a sandwich, and picked up the Daily Vidette (school newspaper; semi-proud alumni), with the headline 'TOOL SHOW CANCELLED'. at least it was only a 2 hour drive there.
row L = 15th row center

damn man, how did you get down there? oh you are the one who paid a broker in advance right? curious, who did you use?
If anybody has a spare ticket I'll pay a fair price, offer the drive there and back, all the food and beer you can drink.
hey i noticed you mentioned 120, for 200 you can get one balc 1 row n, basically what i got for 20 bucks more than that, or there are galleries for 150+fees... i hate it as much as everyone else, but when it is my only option, money isnt a factor... well it would be if i didnt have a cc
coast to coast tickets...they were $185 yesterday, and now they are almost $500 for seats behind mine. crazy!!
anyone notice how crowded it is in here right now? everyone who needs* a ticket should go to the broker websites. only chance.
*need = $$$$$
more leading me to believe that brokers got basically all these tickets.
good play though, i seriously thought i'd have a chance w/ multiple people going at it after figuring a 1 in 6 chance at 2 ticket limit but anyways, enjoy your killer seats, i certainly don't think i'll have a bad view from balc 1
So here's the deal. The theater released a block of tickets to ticketmaster, a block to the promoters/production, and kept a block for themselves. The one's that sold at the box office were NOT the one's selling at ticketmaster.
...oh and to the kid who laughed at me for walking in last-in-line, it was shear pleasure to watch your response when the guy said no more left. From the looks of things you'd been there for at least a couple hours.

I just meant newbie on this board. This will by my third Tool show. I was able to get Kansas City tickets as well which is closer to me so I sold my Chicago tickets to a buddy at face. I've never seen anything like this...but we need to remember that they will be back to all of these cities in the fall, and probalby twice if it is like the last tour.
