you guys going to the Dallas show are lucky. The closest show to me is a 2 1/2 day drive to colorado from my house in WA. I am starting to realize that there will be no shows in the north west. I know TOOL loves Seattle but i dont think it will happen this tour. would gladly pay $300 for a ticket in the northwest right now

TOOL_Rules

We were very lucky to get three in 202 row AA!! Hooray! Also got two in 406 way up there and not sure if they will go unused or if we'll need to turn them to loyal TOOL fans. We've got some time to figure it out.

There really isnt a bad seat at Nokia. Its up there, but its not a WAY up there like in an arena.

I ran across this image that helps visualize the whole thing.

Filming?

Yeah I am kinda worried about that....Can anyone shed some light on the "OBSTRUCTED VIEW" ? I'm in one of the side sections (101) it does not appear to be an obstructed view from looking at the virtual tour on the nokia website. I'm hoping i'm far enough back (row N) that I will be ok. Also I dont see them selling these side sections (105 & 101) for the same $80 as the pit tickets if the view was really obstructed. ANYONE???

I didn't get any tickets to the Dallas show, but if anyone has an extra or two please let me know. Thanks guys.

Sp00k

My guess is its b/c 101 is on the far right side, you will not be able to see all of the far left side of the stage.

Tmax

Ok thanks I wont worry then. I was very upset about missing the PIT tickets as well!!!!! Nice "saved by the bell" pic LOL

Anyone heard rumors of a show in the Southeast? North Carolina, maybe?

dave-tx

Bummer, I just now found out about this. I'll probably end up going the scalper route since it'll drive me crazy to miss this.

dr funkmaster

There's rumor of an Atlanta show, but zero details were offered.

Only reason I give it credence at this point is it was started by a TA member claiming they talked to someone at an ATL radio station. It was then posted on Fourtheye, and Blair mentioned on TA that fourtheye was a good place to look for info he couldn't post yet.

Those aren't exactly the strongest reasons to believe it, but I so desperately want it to be true, hah!

Anyone know exactly what the SouthWest Flight Deck is? I ended up ordering an extra single and got one of these tickets. Is it just a row of seats between 300 and 400?

What? Do YOU have friends or family or something?

;)

I can't really comment on that, partly because I don't remember, and partly because I don't know if I should be that specific.

junior

I can't think of any reason those seats would be obstructed, unless it's because there is a walkway right in front of them. CCC is 3 rows back from the walkway, and I think the section is elevated above the walkway slightly, so I doubt that's it.
Lighting wouldn't obstruct that section, and I can't foresee any reason it would obstruct any seats (including the balcony). There is no guarantee of that, as there could always be an unforeseen variable to mess things up, but I would say a lot of work goes into being as reasonable as possible about obstructions.

Cycloz

Here's a decent pic showing the SW Flight Deck (at least I think) - it's possible that the pic shows the 300 Section:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/religio...th/3303773075/


Kinda curious as well as that's where I got seats at.

teknofear

Got my ticket this morning.

I knew my lady woudn't want to go (I took her to the last two TX dates), so I bought a single for myself. Especially knowing that it's a smaller venue, I'd have a horrible shot at getting a pair of seats together anywhere ahead of level 300.

I scored Sec. 101 Row Q buying a single.

BTW, just to re-iterate, Ticketbastard still sucks the highhardone... $103.79 after the service charges...

For anyone freaking out about getting shitty seats, there's not a bad seat in the house.

Here's a seating chart for the place:

http://www.nokiatheatredfw.com/seating.php

Click on CONCERT LAYOUT.

The place may seem small, but it's not. I've seen plenty of shows there.

BTW, the sound quality is phenomenal at Nokia.

Be sure to take along some extra $$ if you plan on drinking in the venue, as, beer is around $7, tallboys are around $9, and their margaritas are fking $12 (at least they were last time we were at Nokia).

Parking: Unless you splurge and get the VIP parking, the parking for the rest of us is basically a field in front of the venue, so you (we) can tailgate to your heart's delight. ffftbelch.

Cheers!

Just curious... Where the hell were the $54.75 tickets for Dallas? We got section 411, half way back, and the price was still eighty-someshit dollars (which turned out to be over $100 each after ticketbastard raped me!) I'm not blaming the band for this evil shit, but I wish they'd help prevent this from happening. It is possible. I'm here to support TOOL, not ticketbastard and all the scalpers!

Cycloz

Hey teknofear, is it true that the Flight Deck is only one row deep?

plexus

HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS!
I'M SO HAPPY!
That was some crazy quick selling show for sure.
How the fuck none of you fuckers get pit tickets?
I thought you were tool fanatics and shit.

I guess the better question is how the fuck did i walk off with 6 pit tickets?
SUCKERS!!!!!!
Special thanks to the ticketmaster lady who had me ready to ring up right at ten.
I feel bad for you who didnt get tickets.
but i do feel good for me and 5 of my friends.

Ideas are being discussed, but at this point it's still just ideas. There are a lot of things to consider, one of which is the type of venues, and I still don't have a complete answer to that one. The workable space certainly dictates what you can put in it, so it really helps to get that knowledge before you jump in head first. We already know there are some arenas (SLC), some large theatres (Grand Prairie), and some festivals (Mile High, APW, Lollapalooza), so we need to be flexible enough to make it work in a variety of venues.

I don't think I should go into the exact process for how the intermission ended up that way. It's better for the interpretation factor if it's left a bit ambiguous. It's one of those things that wasn't entirely planned out, which is probably why it seemed a bit unnatural, but instead it grew into that almost on its own and kept morphing throughout the tour.
I always partially looked at that section as a "palate cleanser" before the rest of the show, or maybe a slight bit of confusion for the senses. I liked reading the various interpretations.

junior

It looks like that picture was taken from the front edge of the balcony (406, probably).
The dude with his feet against the railing in the bottom of the picture is in the front of section 305, at my best guess. The sound and lighting control area is in front of him at the back of section 204. I think The Flight Deck is under the balcony at the very back of the 300s, but raised up slightly.

cantkeepmeaway

wtf my gf was on ticketmaster at 10 and couldnt get two fucking tickets. should i have gone to an actual ticketmaster outlet?

Majesty12

how did you guys buy your tickets online or phone or outlet store?

tabula.rassa

i managed to get 2 tickets in 402, row c. witch seem to be fairly decent... especially considering that this is generally an experience better taken in from a-far.
i can't say that i'm not disappointed that i didn't get something a wee bit closer... especially considering that i perfectly timed everything to hit "find tickets" when my clock said 10:00:02...
it's so fucking hard to compete with all these fuckers that have some kind of trick up their sleeve...

...but I SUPPOSE that we should all be grateful to have any tickets at all, considering that this is only, what, the 5th show announced, the first even remotely near the texas area (i think we can see that there's folks from all over the country, even MEXICO who want to come to this), we're competing with a bunch of douchbags with an "in", ANNND this venue only holds less than 6300 people.
let's not forget that this band easily sells out 20K+ seat arenas.

...i'm pumped...

...this should be... ...wait for it... epic.

...i bought online... and I really, really, felt like there was something screwy going on. i was right there... and as soon as i got to the "reCAPTCHA" thing, I had to enter the wierd ass words 9 different times, even though i never mis-typed anything, it said that I did (one of the things that I had to type was "Kevin Mi$letoe &6000", I almost lost it...) and probably delayed me from purchasing the tickets for a full 2 minutes. ...bullshit...


i'm thinking that next time i'll get in line at an actual ticketbastard location and see if i can do a little better...

theirs some bullshit going on fucking scalpers FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oliver Clozoff

Can't don't sweat it just yet.Keep checking Ticketmaster everyday for the next month or two and there will probably be tickets available at some point in time.I don't see anyway Ticketmaster's subsidiary TicketsNow will get $2-500 each for these tickets.Maybe I am out of my mind but I just do not see people paying those prices.Hell I would pay $200 in a second if the profits were going to band and crew but that isn't the case.

Not to mention just showing up at the venue.At the Pearl -which is a really small venue- in December of '07 there were some tickets to be had at face value on the day of both shows.

I miss the days of first come first served after standing in line 24 hours at the central ticket office.

roger1709

Whats up everyone! This is my first post ever, although I have been following this thread for quite some time. Was able to score 4 PIT tickets online this morning at 10:09, so i'll see you all at the show.
