i live 15 minutes from albany, so yep, i'll be there!
the arena is alright, nothing special. the last few shows i've been to there have had seats on the floor, which is a big dissapointment, maybe this one will be GA (but i doubt it).
anyways, i'm sure it'll be worth the drive up here!
i live in fucken albany ha ha ha im luvin this wen do tics go on sale is my only question?

I'm going to be in NYC for a week in April form the 18th (First time in NY I'm Australian). I'd love to go to this show.
Any opinions on this arena, any other New Yorkers making the trek to Albany?
I'm also assuming tickets will be sold via ticketmaster as the March dates are.
Don't go to Albany, its a dump and far from New York. Go to Atlantic City instead.
Its a dump too, but the boardwalk near the casinos can be fun. Lots of bus service from NYC. YOu can also wait to see if they add any shows closer to New York.
yea any news on pre-orders or wen even tickets are coming in?

Too bad the tour is postponed, but more importantly hope Danny gets better soon. I happen to like this venue every show I have seen there has had really good sound and its big enough to hold a big show but small enough not to feel arena like. Thats just my opinion anyway.
it is in crowd size prolly wat 14-15,000 and the sound isnt too bad but tool will filter that system out

he gets 3 and half weeks off already cuz of the break but then giv an extra week or two after so then all u do is make the tour go up a week in dates and try to fix that up but still hope that Danny has a fast recovery

Also just to put it out there i will b at SPAC on 6/30 to see Rush and wait 2 weeks for Tool its fucken sweet now if tool puts up another NY date r a close NJ date im there
and me as well im one of those guys waiting in front of the screen at 9:00AM myself only if its important but seeing its Tool its more than important its a priority especially to see them in my hometown ?and any news on the pre sale for tickets?

i think seeing them at the times union center would be better than SPAC... after seeing them both in an indoor and outdoor venue on the last tour, i'd have to say the inside show was so much better (for sound, visuals, environment..everything), plus i'd hate to watch them from the lawn.
but i'm with ya about the ticket situation... its driving me crazy not knowing when they're going on sale. i'm so excited they're playing right here in albany tho, can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!
me too man i cant wait its driving me insane im constantly lookin seeing if i missed something on one of the sites saying their is a ticket thing or im lookin around for 3 hours tryin to see if there is tickets coming out soon

my boyfriend's mom is friends with a guy that works for the arena. she was going to see if he could get me reserved tickets that they save for the employees (or something like that, they're not floor, but would be my back up if i got terrible seats)
ANYWAYS, the guy said that... "we can't get those tickets yet because it hasn't been confirmed, they haven't signed the contract" (i hope this just means they're still negotiating prices, regulations and all that fun stuff) .....so i have to wait until it's up on the arena website. if i hear any more news about on sale dates and what not, i'll be sure to share.
dude ur the man jus let me if i dont know first thanx

yesterday i had my boyfriend's mom get those tickets from her friend that works at the arena. i kept saying that i wanted to wait til saturday and try to get floor seats, but the guy said these seats are better than floor.... i guess their first row of some section thats right level with the stage. it probably is better, considering i'm only 5'3 and if i'm not in the first few rows on the floor i wouldnt be able to see anything.... plus no convience charge : )
nice but im tryin for floor sooo... but anyway i cant wait either i havent see tool in ny yet so epspcially in the hometown this adds more to it
SATURDAY MORINING BUYIN TICKETS HELL YEA

good luck! ..... for rhcp at the pepsi (times union center) in october i got awesome floor seats... you might get lucky!! i'll probably still try to buy some when they go onsale to see if i can get really good ones, if not then i have the others.
and i know what you mean... i feel like i drive all over the place to see good bands, then... tool comes to albany. its like, wow i just have to drive 10 minutes... not drive 3 hours and find a hotel and buy food.
exactly like when ive been to mass and NH to see them its well worth the drive but as i said the sound may not b to great in the TU seeing i havent seen a concert there in a while maybe the sound is updated but just the atmosphere of them playin in Alabany adds another level to it in a way
almost exactly 2 months away till the show so i got to relax but i havent seen them since october so i cant be patient
