It kind of surprised me that are booked for a 5000 capacity arena in Kingston when if tickets were sliiiightly lower I bet they could sell out two shows at the ampitheatre in Toronto. Considering the August show sold out in a day.
Spread the word about this show! it is not even halfway sold out yet and we don't want to be like Madison, WI on the 2006 tour and have the show canceled because of poor ticket sales (i mean maynard was sick ;) ) SO TELL YOUR FRIENDS. Toronto, Syracuse and Ottawa -This means you! only 2 hours for ya. Rochester and Montreal 3 measly hours! i will be there and toronto the next day (and cinci on friday but who's counting..) GET YOUR TICKETS!
This might do it for me for live Tool shows. I've seen them a bunch of times all over the place, but lately the setlists have been repetitive, and Maynard has been insulting by not giving a very strong effort at the shows. Often the band have seemed bored, not to mention $95 freaking dollars for a ticket.
If this set-list and show don't blow me away, I'll be stepping down a few notches from "Huge Fan" to "Casual fan".
anyone know what the capacity for the floor is? i am guessing somewhere between 2000 and 2500? if that is the case then roughly half the floor is still not sold (1100 floor tickets have been sold as of right now)
I am baffled at how ridiculously slow this show is selling.
It doesn't help that Kingston is a college town and it's the off-season for schools.
Can't help but think that a montreal show would have been the better option. Hell, I bet at this point they would have sold out 2 nights at the molson amp.
Oh well... the small venue and low attendance should make for an interesting night.
For example, I am not exaggerating, I have 4 friends who are big Tool fans, but will not spend that much money on a show. Tool just lost 4 more ticket sales, I hope my 1 makes up for it...
it will be a good show. the smaller venue shows ive seen have always been more fun.
Disagree.
Kelowna 2007 fall mini tour was a smaller city/venue, so many of the people at the show were not even real fans. tons of moshing/laser pointers/throwing chairs.
it was so bad they cut 10 000 days from the setlist right after wings.
I think the reason ticket prices are as high as they are is because since the K-rock center was built it's been doing pretty poorly as far as bringing in a decent amount of revenue (who actually wants to go see the kingston frontinacs play?). I think I remember hearing that they still haven't paid off the cost of building it yet. There's been a couple big name acts that have played it so far but it was the same story with them as far as ticket prices go.
As far as this being a low key show, there's really only two radio stations in town promoting it...K-rock and The Drive. K-Rock pretty much never played Tool, but The Drive does on occasion. I know The Drive has been promoting it a lot, dunno about the other one though I never listen to them.
Either way, I'm going, I couldn't get tickets for Toronto when they went on sale. I still have a hard time believing they're plating K-Town.
section 110 row 3 is selling currently. as well as floors. :(

What the hell. I bought tickets right when they went on sale and the "best seats available" came up as row 16. I bought them right away instead of trying to find better seats because I thought it would sell out instantly.

well, youre probably section 103 something right beside the stage, yes? i dont understand how that qualifies as best available. i brought up 103 before i brought up floors. personally, i think the best seats in the house are dead center stage so you can see the entire show, not just an angle of it. so yah, reasoning doesnt make sense to moi. call krock and see if you can switch em, either. never know.

I'm driving up there from Utica, NY. This will be my 4th TOOL show. I'm taking my girlfriend, she has never been at a rock concert so this is gonna blow her away.
Hi, I posted something simialr on the TO thread, I just scored a ticket to the TO show (sec 202 row J) and am already going to the Kingston show (GA). My friends don't all share Toolvision so I will be going alone...it would be cool to tailgate with some like minded people before either show so if you notice a 2005 Mustang GT, silver with blue LeMans stripes, please stop by and say hello.
For the record, I've been here for a while (Kevindust since 2002) but can't remember my password and no longer use the email addy that I signed up wiith so I had to create a new account.
I just wanted to go on record as saying that the Tool fans in this area(or lack thereof) are unbelievable...Did I hear someone say that this place only holds 6K and there are still floor seats? If I wasn't flat broke, I would make the 10 hour drive (one way) to see another show on this tour....get it together Canada?! What do they need to do, put up fliers at a "coffee shop"...hehehe jk, I know you've apologized for Bryan Adams several times...

well considering the floor seats are about $100 (including service charges) and the current tour is the exact same as the entire 2007 tour - minus 2 songs.
what real massive reason is there for tons of fans to pay $100 to see the band rush through a 9 song set, especially when they know the setlist isn't changing one iota so.
I could understand being amazed if the show wasn't sold out, if the show offered the fans really anything new. Hopefully most those people at the show are seeing the band for the first time and those fans will learn that paying $100 for 9 songs might not be worth it.
