LIMITED TOOLARMY VIP PRESALE

Hi, I'm looking for one VIP for DC Nov 25th, please leave me your contact. Thanks.

The Tool VIP is a complete mess and run by who knows who. (If you know who runs could someone let me know)
We had ADA access tickets because my GF broke her foot just before the show. When we got there the isle seats we had were all moved together in first 4 rows, we had row 2, seats 1,2 and now instead of being on the isle we are 20 seats in that she can't walk through. The venue offered me a refund as we couldn't get to our seats but since they were bought through Tool VIP they had to do the refund which they refused to do. They told us we could sit in the back of the floor or the Upper level ADA seats. Not acceptable especially at after the show was half over, missed soundcheck and got yelled at my some Tool crew member who wouldn't give me her name and covered up her badge. We couldn't stand in the isle and watch so we had to leave. $1034 for 2 tickets that we could not get to. They told me it's my fault and since I got angry they won't do anything. Don't give this company any more money, they are a complete joke. They could care less about us, they just want the money. I can tell you this after I do get my refund I will NEVER give Tool another penny of my money as they hire crappy low budget crews to run their VIP event. I felt like anything but a VIP that night in Houston Oct 27 2019. It's been a week now and I still feel pain in my behind from the screwing they me and my GF to add more seats, to make more money and could care less who gets hurt in the meantime. Tool VIP were the ones who gave me the seats on an isle, decided to fill in the isle with more seats to sell more tickets (which they told me) and pretty much told me to piss off. Good luck to y'all

Anyone have an extra VIP Indianapolis they'd like to get rid of?

What time do doors open for the VIP experience? Thanks

Are there any more VIP sales coming or available? Please comment if there are.

Is anyone interested in 2 VIP tickets to Philadelphia Nov 18th? Pls contact Rocky Roland 203-656-1469 rockroland at aol

*********** DOES ANYONE NEED 2 VIP TICKETS for PHILADELPHIA NOV 18th? ***********
I just realized that I bought them in addition to the Brooklyn show. I had assumed my purchase didn't go through because the computers were so swamped on pre-sale day I never got a confirmation. When I logged in to onelive to confirm the show dates/times I see the Phili tickets are there as well...
Based on the other Tool VIPs I've been to I think that as long as I give someone my ID to use they can pick up the tickets at will call and (they match id name to name on their list).
I would only ask face value. Call Rocky Roland if interested: (203) 656-1469 [email protected]

How was this notice posted so clearly, yet NOTHING about order validation, and ticket cancellations if your purchase email didn't match your Tool Army email. Dozens of longstanding TA members had tickets revoked today when the notice you did send didn't even come from the same email address that sent purchase confirmation. Also, I'm being told that my tickets were "reallocated to other TA members who didn't have an opportunity to purchase them originally" yet there is nothing anywhere about a limited amount of reclaimed tickets being available. THIS IS A JOKE.

FYI to anyone reading this thread still...just scored front row club level for first night in Denver tonight (9/19) for face value! Still some left, check TOOL’s FB page under events and club level seating is listed. Not too many left so with a quickness folks! Hope this helps someone ✌️

Vip second Denver show sold out!!! Hopefully I'll have luck on friday!!! If not then I spose I'll miss them because I refuse to pay a damn scalper! TA for life!!

still cant log in

ANYONE have an extra Denver ticket for the 15th??? Anyone??

Does anyone know if there will be VIP pre-sale tickets for the Oct 16th added show in Denver? I waited by my computer for over 2 hours in preparation for tickets last week only to be 2,000 in line. That system sucks! I'd rather pay the $500 and not deal with the online bs or after marker vultures!

Did anyone get VIP for denver? I might try to get it for the Oct. 16th show, but if you look at the venue it showing the vip section behind everyone!!! If that's the case everyone who got VIP for that venue just got majorly screwed. If someone does have VIP for the Denver show at the Pepsi Center can you tell me what did they give you for seats?

https://youtu.be/8qtIdhpw6hc

Anybody else get thier tickets through OneLive? My girlfriend bought me two VIP tickets for The tuesday show in Toronto but anything I read about One Live is making me nervous as hell. I am a super fan of the band but if we are out $1000 USD then I will be beyond pissed.

If anyone has access to VIP in Connecticut please reach out. I missed the window apparently after some confusion and alas came away empty handed, i'm trying to find a VIP pass to accompany my brother who was lucky enough to score one. It would be amazing since he took me to one of my first concert going experiences, Aenima Tour way back in '97.

Hey everyone, hope some of you had luck getting tickets if not i scored a extra 1 for anyone who got screwed so I still have 1 ticket for anyone who is looking to go to the Philly show at Wells Fargo Center
They are good seats too, section 106
If your looking or interested just reply here and we can talk

Everyone bitchen about tickets being resold. Well its there right to sell them if they choose. If you want to stop it the the only way you can do that is stop buying those tickets. I'm going to the chicago show.. going VIP. i attempted to get 2 more tickets for 2 of my kids and after i waited about 20 min to be able to buy tickets they all were sold. It sucks but that's what happens if you don't get them in time. So stop buying the over priced reseller tickets. Stick the scalpers with all these tickets and they may find a new way of making money .. snyway im interested in 2 tickets for the chicago show uf anyone has 2 that are together for my boys. Thanks

Can we talk about the setlist? We got all these new songs. But how many of them get played and what older stuff gets cut? Somebody’s favorite is not getting played, people. Is it Schism due to the similarities between it and Pneuma (that’s not a criticism to be clear-I fucking love both songs). I hope not. All these new songs are 10 plus minutes. I feel like tickets cost more this go around-I don’t remember them ever being $150 before. I feel like the most I’ve ever paid was $90 or possibly $110. (And yes those were floor). I didn’t get to go to any shows earlier this year-were they already $150 Does this mean we are gonna get a longer show? If not-does that mean Stinfist will no longer be the extended version? I hope that’s not the case-I love that extension.
I’m sure whatever it is, it is going to be fucking epic. I’m very much looking forward to this show.
Also on the track Fear Inoculum, is that Devo playing cello?

Send more money
Fuck you, buddy

Still looking for any fellow TA member that may have gotten one single extra ticket😁🤘 help a brother spiral out! Thank you

After my Ticketbastard experience yesterday, in what was quite a stressful experience in obtaining tickets, I would like to reiterate what other people in this thread have been touching on.

Ticketmaster is a monopoly, and they are robbing the true fans of live music a fair ticket purchase experience. This has been shouted from the rooftops of thousands of Tool fans everywhere. Tool tickets are now marked up anywhere from 125% to upwards of 1000% on Ticketbastard, and other secondary purchase websites. This is bullshit.

I was one of the fortunate ones who obtained tickets at face value, with a Ticketbastard fee. Many fans were unable to purchase tickets. The TRUE fans. The bots won, once again.

How can us, as fans, and Tool, being a band that I would think truly appreciates their fan base, allow this to happen? This is a major problem for all music fans, as well as the artists who appreciate their fan base. Something has to be done. Legally. It’s atrocious.

I would now like to plead with Tool. Please allow your fan base an alternate means of obtaining tickets other than online purchasing websites. Please start doing what other bands like Pearl Jam and Iron Maiden have been doing to combat the robbery.

Your fan base is important to you, isn’t it? I would think so. As a majorly influential band, Tool, you can make a difference. Please show the world that this is wrong, and you do care about your fan base. I think it would be a crucial time in live music history to do so. The choice is yours.

Couldn't even login, after spending $50 just fora shot at VIP tix (not complaining about price, i get it, an i get some cool merch and shit, but come on if i pay $50 i should at least be able to login to the site, not have it stuck in an infinite "login to access > input login info > hit enter > rather than load page it's supposed to, it refreshes the original page asking for my login info" loop of frustration...

Damn disappointed. At least the album is stellar.

All that said, if anyone, by some miracle, is looking to sell a VIP ticket to the San Antonio show on October 25, @ AT&T Center, please let me know as I will not hesitate to pay for them within minutes.

I know its a long shot, but longer shots have landed successfully, and rather recently i might add. For example, Tool just released the "most over-hyped album of the century" and somehow, being Tool, managed to defy all the odds and actually live up to the hype, and simultaneously grow as a band and listening experience. I know im gushing, and rambling, and this is a request for tix not an album review, just saying that if they can somehow live up to the ungodly amount of hype we placed on their Atlas-ian shoulders, well then maybe, just maybe, you can sell me a single VIP ticket to the San Antonio AT&T Center show. On October 25. I'll love you forever. And longer if you asked.

Hey. I’ve got two extra tix for Glendale. My extra people can’t go. Excellent seats in 111. Will sell or might be willing to trade for Tulsa. I’m in the 512 area code tho. Nine four 7-11 five nine. Hit me up via text.

New TOOL album, VIP tickets for the Newark show, and floor seats for Atlantic City. It’s been a phenomenal week for this lifelong fan. Time to celebrate! Cheers!

Things just aren't fair anymore. I joined Tool Army to get in on pre-sales. Only VIP $500 tickets were given. Got on right at ten to score tickets for Denver. Told me I was 2000th in line, then every ticket that showed up was already taken. Now they show crappy reseller tickets at $250. I think we need to start a class action suit to keep tickets going to consumers, not resellers. Ought to be a law...

It would be great if I could log in to the damn website.

So I have two extra tickets to the Indianapolis show if anyone needs a pair. They aren’t the best, section 218, row 10, seats 3&4. My buddy ended up getting us floor seats so i figured I’d offer them up here first for actual fans

If anyone wants to dump their VIP ticket for the show in Glendale AZ in my lap, I will happily pay full value for it! Couldn't get the link to work for VIP but i dont even care if they were $500, I still would have bought one. Bummed Out.

I feel bad for the people that didn’t get tickets but I manage to get a VIP ticket late Wednesday night for the second Toronto show and there was other shows there still so you just had to keep checking. The website leaves a lot to be desired it’s like Danny runs it himself and you could tell that within the first few minutes of using this site but it’s tough to blame tool for the ticket situation because they are at the mercy of live nation and Ticketmaster who own all the venues and require you to give them a certain allotment of tickets so they can resell them. That’s why you see tickets on stub hub before today which Ticketmaster also owns. The prices today for Toronto were pretty ridiculous $300 for lower bowl and floors I’m so glad I paid the US$500 for a VIP front row

Long shot but does any fellow TA members have 1 extra ticket to Denver show?! I literally sat in virtual line since 6am then waited and still got boned w 2000+ ppl in front of me! Anyone able to help a fan out?!

I spent an hour last night trying to get logged into the site to get to the presale tickets. An hour this morning resetting the password and trying to get to the presale tickets. Only to find they were the VIP package tickets. In a panic I signed onto the ticketmaster site for tickets and was lucky to get 2 lower bowl seats. I've been a member since the 90's and I've been to 17 Tool shows including a meet n greet in Tempe. I even listened to Tool play from outside of a dive bar in Idaho Falls when I was underage and they were unknown! I've bought 1-2 concert shirts per show, CD's and who knows what else! What I'm saying is this: As a long time fan of the band, or even if someone bought the membership a week ago, the four of you who financially gain the most should offer up more than what is being offered to Tool Army members! I understand you are the creative geniuses making the music, it's so good that it won't affect my willingness to support the band. However, nobody, least of all myself likes to feel like the rats chasing the piper to the cliff. It's the idea of becoming a cog in the wheel, a sheep in the herd most of us find repulsive. I for one was attracted to Tool not only for the music but also the message. If Tool army is a vessel you're using to lure and guide fans (rats) to the cash register (cliff) then lets call it what it is. Otherwise, hire someone to take charge of the club and invest a percentage of what you make per year into the heart, foundation of your fan base. I'm not asking for you guys to go out of your way and meet the diehard fans and scratch their nuts, pat them on the head and tell them what a good job they're doing. I'm saying give us a chance to buy good tickets first, BUY with our money, not free, not reduced price. I would scrape change and short the rent to buy a ticket 20 years ago. Even if I can afford it now, I know some of your fans have to do it now and like it's happened to me, some won't have enough. But you can bank on the rich entitled douchebag that has nothing to do that day and heard "sober" on KBER once and really liked it to be there. With better seats than most of us were able to get. Alright, I'm done ranting. My bet goes down on no comment or response to my diatribe from the band or management, if I lose the bet we should hear something back, if nothing else reassurance that we're not just suckers gleefully falling into the sea!

All four of you are the biggest Turd Fergusons I know. Why must your band be so damn good that tickets are harder to obtain now than they were 5 years ago? Why must you super badasses let people crash your website when you know we love you? Thank You! Looking forward to seeing you in T-Town. God Bless, drive safe, Turds. Seriously, goodtimes.

Easiest Tool tickets I've ever gotten..... got 2 great seats and got two more.... Seems TM has blocked some of the Bots from taking them all. And I got two VIP. Guess I been hold my TOOL right or something.... Tulsa we are coming to Play!

Thanks guys, you clearly don't give a crap about your fanclub anymore. Tool army used to have actual concert pre sales, and they used to work wonderfully. Now you've decided to stop that and make your paying fans deal with ticketmaster, bots and scalpers. Guess I'm sitting out your Detroit show. Spiral out and all that.

OneLive Media is a joke. They are fleecing fans with broken technology. They are a subsidiary of AEG so it makes sense how they rape you and get away with it. That's the LiveNation/TicketMaster business model. Not to mention the back door deals to get tickets back on their verified resale sites. We need our congressmen to intervene is the only way I think this will end

I just spent the energy of my whole day in those 20min of trying to buy a ticket... luckily I scored 2, so I can rest in peace now...

Hey everyone I Really hope you all had luck today getting tickets
I was lucky enough to score 3 for me and my buddy at Wells Fargo Center in Philly
So I have an extra ticket for anyone who is interested
The seats are located section 106 row 17
Reply here to get in touch with me thanks

Luckily got in TM and got some for Raleigh. Lower level $85. Not bad.

Why can't I log in to buy tickets? It just keeps taking me back to the log in screen, which is always helpful and not frustrating at all. I've tried every browser, I've tried resetting my password. Yet, I was able to log in to comment. I was also able to log in so I could finish buying the member bundle and pay for the shipping. This is the first fan club like this I've ever joined, do they all operate so poorly? It also would have been nice if there was some kind of email that went out to members about the VIP presale.

So I guess we will just pay the standard ass-raping prices for the general population... WTF is the point in paying to be an army member for early tickets? Fool me once... You shitbirds at least owe me a new t-shirt...

How the hell would I find this out? No email sent to inform TOOL army members of the pre-sale? Then when I google it to see if there is anything going on I get a link to this page, which is not accessible from the regular TOOL army portion of the site? Also only VIP Pre-sale tickets, no general pre-sale? You could have the average person running this and they would do a better job of whoever the incompetent person is assigned with managing this completely broken site.

Step 1. Send out semi-regular emails to update members when there is new content or pre-sales.

Step 2. Update the fucking TOOL ARMY portion of the site so people can easily navigate where they need to go.

Step 3. Offer some general admission, or at least normal priced tickets in the pre-sale for those of us who can't spend $1000 to go to a TOOL show.

Otherwise, you're just ripping off some of the most supportive members of the fan-base and those who are supporting the band with memberships and buying merchandise and albums are going to feel like they got fucked over.

After I finally get the site to work I cannot get the link to work at all, I log in after many attempts and then it sill asks me to log in after clicking the pre-sale link and then nothing.

why is it not letting me purchase the tickets =(

does anyone know if they sell VIP at regular sale

finding it hard to believe that ALL the VIP tickets are sold out. Past VIP sales on prior tours were up for days and those tickets were $500 each. Im guessing the site crashed and will return after the public sale ends

Pre-sale site didn't work for shit, doesn't let me log in.

Surprised that nobody quoted from the Intolerance-prechorus. Don't get me wrong. I would not consider this a reasonable complaint.
Just wondering if this is a sign of politeness, or indicating that the Undertow-lyrics weren't studied that much. OH MY GOD! WAIT! CASUAL FANS! ; )
[I do not mean to ridicule about all the unlucky ones, wrote some serious remarks below, I just need a lighter approach for a second]

It wont let me login with my info... i goto tool army, login fine, i click presale exclusive content, everytime i enter info, doesn't go anywhere :/

I cannot access pre-sale tickets for the Houston Texas show on October 27th. Can anyone help me please?

Anyone know if pepsi center will have seats on the floor or standing ga??

anybody else struggling to log in?

In case any of you missed it, the CD is available for pre-order through 11:59ET on store.toolband.com for purchase. Limit 4 per order. Comes with a digital download code that will enable you to download the album now, with bonus tracks and music. Sounds like this will be the final pressing of the CD with the limited edition packaging.

Good luck tomorrow Tool fans. This has been a clusterfuck of epic proportions, but I hope to see many of you in Denver.

Hey guys, If anyone wants to sell their VIP tickets to me let me know, I will give you what you paid + 50 dollars.
LA show preferred.

"Tickets are on-sale Sept. 6 at 10 am local time, with a limited number of tickets will be available to Tool Army members on Sept. 4. Tool Army information, as well as VIP package details, can be found via Toolband.com."

"with a limited number of tickets will be available to Tool Army members on Sept. 4. Tool Army information, as well as VIP package details"

AS WELL AS

"For more than casual fans of the band"

HA!

Isn't that what Tool army is about? Pay the band money in return for 14 year old merch that falls apart quickly, to prove I'm not a fucking casual?

PS: THIS WEBSITE FEELS LIKE AN ABANDONED P.O.S. The most updated part of it is people complaining about how screwy it all is. Woohoo! Let me pay 50.00 annually! If all this is meant to be a joke, then #winning.

Does anyone know how many VIP tickets were sold? I bought two for SLC. Curious how many other people will be there.

There's a good reason the stupid website was overloaded, the presale was open to EVERYONE, not just "Tool Army Members" like they claimed. I couldn't even get into my account and by the time I did, all sold out. At least I get a T-shirt (ha). I sure hope there are more VIP tickets available tomorrow 9/6 at 10am!

And yes, I know I look like JMK. I get that quite often.

As a Tool Army member, I enjoy being a 55-year-old groupie. I am curious as to why or who I can verify that the VIP tickets are no longer available. If it is sold-out, can someone update the website to indicate such? If not, I am still holding out hope before the scalpers take all the front row seats for Houston after it opens for the public tomorrow.

I Was Able To Secure A VIP Ticket, However I'm Not Quite Sure About How The Seating Works?
Will I Receive An Email Stating My Seat Or Is It Designated To Me At The Venue?
Any Help Would Be Greatly Appreciated.
Spiral Out.
Keep Going.
GRIZZ.

Sooo what I’m thinking is since this is the first tour for the new album they only did the VIP bullshit, but if I remember correctly after 10,000 days first tour they toured again a year or so later on a
mini-tour, it was called -A Evening With TOOL- I still have my ticket stub from it, I’m thinking that’s when they will have the regular presale tickets for us Tool Army members, well at least I hope

Good luck on Friday
Let’s help each other out too if people are able to get extra tix

Does anyone know what this Queue-It program is. It has you waiting in line? Is it bullshit or is it intended to help you beat the bots?

So like many others I can't log into the Pre-Sales page and I've tried several different browsers.... Those that are having success, what browser are you using? Thanks

Auto-renew canceled. Fool me once.......

Cannot log in to purchase pre-sale tickets. Have been trying for three hours. Extremely disappointed and frustrated. This website is a horrible, ineffective tool, and whoever is running it is a tool. Furthermore, jumping through a bunch of hoops, renewing my Tool Army membership in order to participate in the pre-sale and then not being able to participate, has attenuated my interest. I had planned on attending six shows, from Denver to Tulsa. Now I may attend one. I feel fleeced and used. Love the music of Tool, but this has really diminished the band. Wake up fellas.

I can't log into the pre-sale site. WTF!!! Trying to get the VIP ticket for the San Antonio, Texas show.

Well everything was pretty easy for me. Logged into TA bought VIP to Pittsburgh, printed receipt and then turned off computer.
No complaints no problems.

Send me free tickets please

Such a disappointment. I've been waiting for so many years to purchase something like this and now that I have the cash and way to get there...the damn site doesn't work :(

You all think you know everything...server crashed, if you were one of the lucky one, enjoy the show. Till next time, ill be waiting in line tomorrow like a high school sophomore. But its cool

This turned out to be a colossal fuck up. I'm a on the fence on contentment due to the fact that I did manage to get a vip ticket, just not the date I wanted. Who even came up with the "pre-sale" ticket add should be subjected to the Lanister walk of shame for every show, since it was pure false advertising. I truly don't understand why there were two different messages posted either. I was told by some friends that the FaceFuck page did mention VIP while the toolband site had no mention of VIP, just presale. Also, why does FaceBook actually have more content than the band's own website? Totally fucked up IMO. People paid to join Tool Army but the Tool Army page doesn't even actually work now.

If I'm inclined to blame anyone it has to be management and the web designers, there was probably little oversight or foresight into what ended up happening.

At least ticket prices weren't like Ozzy's last tour, those VIP packages were insanely priced, mind you the access to those were interesting.

All fans can hope for is a better experience next time around. This all seemed a bit rushed.

Tomorrow is Battle Bots day WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Won't let me in either. Weird, I'm logged in here, but won't let me to actually go to pre-sale. Also, I was under the impression we would have access to pre-sale for regular tickets. Very disappointed in Tool for this obvious misleading info on page. Last time they were in our area tickets sold out in like seconds, thanks to bots and resale sites. So looks like will miss them again this time around. Been a fan since the beginning, but losing faith in this band.

Still can't login. Tried resetting password. Still doesn't work. Also your login page isn't using HTTPS which it should be, especially in 2019. You should be able to afford competent web developers and hosting. Disappointed. Why did I pay $$$ to join Tool Army if the supposed benefits are inaccessible?

Everything went smooth in San Antonio. See you behind the scenes TOOL fans!

I would have loved the chance to get VIP tix, couldn't even get logged in!!! If anyone has an extra for Indianapolis please contact me!!!

I've been a Toolarmy member since 2005 or 2006, and it still hasn't paid off. Fix your website Blair, most people couldn't even get on to your website yesterday.

i can't even log into pre-sale, bummer. i guess i will get them tomorrow...

Adding to the gripes: So glad I signed up for Tool Army and all I got was decade old merch! The T-Shirt feels like it's been sitting in a box for 14 years. Sigh. Luckily ti got me access to spend $500.00 on tickets! Oh wait, no it didn't because even though they said paying them $50.00 for the membership would grant us first dibs, that was an outright lie, as the general public got access to the tickets as well and beat me to the punch.

Hundreds of complaints, and NOT ONE reaction???
Remember: It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

The part that makes me vicious is the "...for more than casual fans of the band..."

Seriously?

Couldn’t get online yesterday and bully the time I did they were all gone. That has never happened for VIP tickets. They usually last a couple of days. Love the new music. I’ve listened to it on repeat for the past week and I finally get it. I will say this - this new album is bitter sweet. Everyone all of a sudden loves these guys? I am upset that the original Tool Army members didn’t get preference in the VIP. Anyone with $50 and a computer can get the same treatment as the long time loyal fans? How is that OK? What the point of a fan club if everyone can join right before the presale. I know Pearl Jam and DMB don’t allow new members to join their fan club before presale for this reason. I’m really disappointed at how the original fans were treated. I didn’t think Tool Army would be conduit to commercialism. This is my favorite band not favorite band of the moment.

$500 for VIP pre sale tix? What a fucking crock of shit. I’m so glad I became a Tool Army member for 50$..oh but I got stickers and a T-shirt. Another jerkoff, ripoff music group. Awesome music, but all about the $$ Hey Maynard, go shit in your hat!
Take lessons from Dave Grohl.

Iv never been able to see Tool live. Iv wanted to for years and years. Was so excited to hear of a new album finally being released because that means tour time. Guys, what the fuck. I'm seeing people in here that have been tool army for years, even through your fucking drought where you couldn't just put a record out. 13 years? These people seem to not have even had a fighting chance to get the VIP tickets. The new album should have been named "4745 days"

I'm 100% doing a charge back on you guys for this membership.

I also like that i'm writing this like someone from the band will actually read this and care what a fan of their art thinks.

Thank God I don't have to buy your album. I can just stream it now ;) hope you make a few dollars on streaming.

13 years for an album. 13 minute songs?? That's your problem.

You guys really shit the bed on this deal.

Interested in (1) VIP ticket at Prudential Center, NJ. I tried ALLLLLL day and ZERO.

So. 500.00 is a bit steep....but oh well......i would have paid it..., but no way in hell am I buying a VIP package without knowing where my seats are. Wish was a fan club presale for normal tickets to be picked up at Will Call..not just the VIP.

Well I’m kinda meh about the VIP package. But what the about this 10:00 local time? Was it AM or PM? What local time? Was it regionally locked until either 10am/pm local times? I’m sure am but still was if really a time zone roll out? Why east coast got first dibs? Anyways I was too busy at work this morning to even try. Thanks for the shirt!

You know MJK uses the twitter account right? why arent we blowing that up? like REALLY blow it up with this. He's got to have understanding that robots buying his shit is no good. I mean c'mon, they reference dune in the cd for crying out loud.

I waited patiently for over 40 minutes which luckily gave me enough time to sell my both kidneys on the black market to buy VIP packages for both concerts in Toronto. All I have to do now is sell my liver to pay for the 7000 kilometers flight from Poland & hotel. Lucky me.

It looks like I am a casual af fan after all...

There sure is a lot of negativity on here and I’m still bummed, deflated and really not looking forward to Friday. FUCK Ticketmaster. I’ve been TA for a while now and haven’t seen a regular ticket pre-sale but knew they did one after 10,000 Days and some tours previous to that. Guess I just assumed with the masterpiece that Fear Inoculum is, how the original post was worded and the scalpers getting the tickets for the last number of years TA was actually gonna get a legit pre-sale. I’m not crying, bitching, blaming the band or calling people names over it, just expressing my disappointment. The last couple shows I’ve been able to get tickets for, Des Moines(2019) & Chicago(2017), I wound up in the nosebleeds which, I genuinely was appreciative just to be able to be be there but honestly the people around me made the experience terrible. The girl in front of me at Chicago was checking her phone about every 3 minutes and wouldn’t stfu to the person next to her. In Des Moines, halfway through the first time hearing Invincible, some guy a number of rows back decided to yell “get on with it already” because apparently it wasn’t as good as Five Finger Punch or something...I was so excited to see TOOL announce a show in Milwaukee (first one since 2007) and am still really stoked but if the only tickets available Friday are the ones up in the nosebleeds I’m really conflicted as to whether I should go. I love TOOL and seeing them live have been such impactful moments for me but as of late I don’t know if I want to be stuffed in an arena that is half filled with people who bought their tickets off a scalper because it is a “cool” show to see. You know, one of my favorite concerts was RATM and the reason why, besides they are fucking awesome, is because no matter where you were in the sea of 30,000 we were all there for one purpose, to see RATM. Sorry for the ramble just needed an outlet, guess we shall see what Friday brings! Thanks for the album and the upcoming tour your real fans still love you TOOL✌️🖤🤘

more just released good luck!

Anyone have extra LA Oct 20 and/or 21 VIP tix for sale?

The band isn't called Tool for nothing!

It was only VIP tickets through here. Where the fuck are all the secondary market tickets coming from? God I fucking hate Ticketmaster.

Sweet! Got one to the first LA show! Been wanting to do VIP for years. A bucket list item, checked!

I was on right at 10am, got a few backend errors and was in at 10:02. Only saw VIP packages. Was there any actual regular tickets available for shows? I’m assuming so based on the amount of tickets on the secondary market, but I never saw a thing for the Detroit show

Is it superficial to act like a loyal "Tool Army" member when I only signed up for the first time yesterday and others have been members since the 90s? Maybe not ethically speaking but yes technically I am just as qualified to early access to tickets as the guy or girl who's been a member for over 20 years. What sucks is that not only have I been misled, but also those other fans who have committed funds to the "Tool Army" for a couple decades, into thinking that we had some kind of privilege - it's ridiculous. The message indicated that we would get access to a limited number of PRE SALE tickets, which is easy to infer that you would have a small window to purchase ORDINARY tickets. But spending all this time and sanity toward access to $500 tickets?? So ridiculous. I would have less of a problem spending the $50 membership fee if I had to endure the website crashing to get early access to general tickets. OR being able to get right through the website but only to access $500 tickets. But having to negotiate a website that crashed AND to see the selection limited to $500 tickets - so unacceptable

Finally got in after periodically trying all day... just as I felt... completely sold out in my area... HOWEVER it seems there are VIP tix available in some areas

What an absolute shit show. Thanks for nothing, Tool. Jeezus. Errors, no pre-sale asde from $500 VIP - one ticket??!! So lame.

Been trying all day long to access the pre-sale. Keeps saying that I need to enter my user name and password. Even though I am already logged into the site. I have tried different browsers and emailed the support team 2 times with no response or answer. Really disappointing. As a comparison I have been a member of the U2 fan website for many years and gotten access to pre-sale tickets and have never had a problem.

Day wasted. Spent the morning prepping and at 9:59 got the boot. Finally able to see most had a similar experience. Good luck to you all securing tickets. Pu$hit.

I see whats happening here...

I genuinely feel sorry for the people who had a bad experience, missed out on tickets, or couldn’t afford the VIP. It really does suck for those people. I wanted VIP tickets and had no issues at all, but I was fortunate. I plan to try for tickets to another show in the area and hope all the decent tickets aren’t snatched up by the scalpers. It’s a shame that in 2019, with all of our technological advancements, this whole process isn’t better. Good luck everyone!

While some (most) are complaining, I just realized that the Recusant Ad Infinitum video that is shown in the Deluxe CD package is a movie to Descending (for most of the sequence that contains lyrics, Maynard's voice and then stop it (or let it begin again?)). Fits perfectly!!!

http://toolband.com/pre-sale i try to use that link but it won't take my password even though I am already logged in.

I guess this whole shitty pre-sale VIP shit is the opening band - The Killing JOKE!! Lol hahaha

After 25 shows in 23 years I figured it was time to do a VIP experience for my hometown show. Sweaty palms as the site was super buggy through Chrome so I switched over to Firefox at the last moment. Zing! No issues. Got my tickets at 10:02AM.
Now I've got to do two simultaneous drops for different shows on Friday and that is gonna suck. Good luck to all and death to bots and scalpers.
RE: This presale. I've been in the Tool Army since day one. Yes. There have been presales in the past - not for every tour. The last year there was a general ticket presale was in 2007 (10,000 Days Summer Tour). Every presale since has been for the $500 VIP experience to my knowledge.
Spiral Out.

Wow...been online trying to get through at 9am central time...it is now 630 pm and I was finally able to log on and all the tickets are gone now. The last time they went on tour all the fucking tickets sold out and I refused to pay ridiculous prices on stub hub.....I think it is just destined that I'm never going to see Tool live. fml

Well damn. I guess I joined for the special shirt. Good luck to everyone on Friday. I hope Ticketmaster doesn’t have any issues.

So I was ready to buy my pre-sale VIP ticket at 10am today only to have the server crash. I spent 30 minutes trying to get in. By 10:30am I was finally able to get in only to see that all the tickets to the NY shows were sold out. Fucking lame. Essentially I paid $50 for a shirt And stickers just so I can buy the tickets on Friday with everyone else. The VIP ticket availability is clearly not enough to support the Tool Army. It would have been nice for this actually to be a real ticket presale not just ViP. As Tool fans who waited 13 years for a new album we deserved that. Now we get nothing for our loyalty and will have to buy with the masses on Friday. Announcing this ahead of time
As a presale is misleading and seems like a scam cash grab for all the new Tool Army members who just signed up. Again. Fucking lame

TOOL Army stand, prepare and unite...
Today we got FUCKED and Friday we will get FUCKED... ALL TICKETS FRIDAY will go to ticket buying robots then sold back to us at ridiculous costs... Continue the hunt...Buy what you can... Tickets will be found... These bots have a source... Find and FUCK them.... See you at the shows.

I actually have proof from a receipt in my email from april 27 2007 from ac boardwalk hall regular presale tickets 2 of them for 124 total... 116 sub total 8 bucks shipping cost
So the answer is yes they did have them at one time, for a great price
So this VIP only presale for 500 bucks is total bullshit, at least give us a kiss before u fuck us in the ass
Good luck of Friday guys and gals

How are there non VIP tickets on sale at Seat Geek already? Don't I feel like a Tool for joining the Tool Army and wasting my day trying to get standard tickets when I could have just bought them on Seat Geek for 50 bucks over face value. Thanks for taking care of your fans!

You really worded that terribly. Cannot mistake the differentiated "VIP Packages" and "pre-sale tickets" in the ad to join Tool Army for $50 a year. Lame. Gladly paid $40 for the record, because it's a masterpiece. This is kind of a smack in tha balls.

Fucking bullshit. Paid years of Toolarmy memberships for what??? For their fucking servers to crash and put everyone in a non-stop login loop.

I guess buying opened my blind eye
GL everyone on Friday
Spiral down

What's crazy to me is if your fans gave a extra 50 bucks so that they could make sure they got to go why not pre sell them all ticket s to tthem ? I would rather have a show with a army that pre paid then what ever the fuck this is....

Won’t even let me log in what a joke

Why can’t I buy tixxxx ugggg this blows!!!

Found tickets here...
