Kudos to Ticketmaster? Real fans actually get to buy tickets at face value? Or was today just my lucky day? Pretty much got to pick thru seats for the Madison show and went back 20 minutes later and there were better seats available. Missed you in October, see you in June
I think it's mainly because it's the second time around within a few months, in most areas.
Any one need general tickets for Buffalo show I have 2. I got better seats on a second seat. Email me. Cyndi63627@aol.com
Could someone that has done the v.i.p. experience tell me how difficult it would be to buy a signed poster at the show?
Do they have a lot of them for sale at each show, and how much do they sell for?
Thanks for the help!
As long as you get in early enough to grab them. They do sell out. The last time they toured it was $150.
I have heard different stories from different events. VIP does not guarantee you a signed poster because they are usually not available till later in the day when the doors to the event open. The TOOL family does seem to always find a way though to take care of their VIP guests. The VIP is worth it all alone just for the ticket.
In Denver last October it was fairly easy for some of us, not so easy for others. The unsigned posters were there when we got early merch access, but the signed ones could not be sold until the doors opened to the public. There were only 100 signed ones, and they gave 20 copies to the merch tables, so if you didn't get to one of those before the masses you missed out. One fella who was also a VIP bought like 4 of them, so that happens too.
I've never heard of them being as cheap as $150 though. In Denver they were $200, whereas I heard they were as high as $350 other places. Not sure what determines that, whether it is the particular artist or the location is a mystery, but I did see that the Alex Grey ones sold for higher than say the Robbie Trevino ones did.
Mid 2000’s they were 150. The past year I did VIP Denver and as stated above they don’t sell the signed ones till the doors open. Seems like there was a group of VIP that went up to wait for the signed ones and most that wanted one were able to get them...they have jacked the prices on them 300-350! I was happy with unsigned @ 60. VIP is fucking awesome?
Many thanks to all that replied with info!
If I’m fortunate enough to have the extra cash the day of the show, I might try to get one.
If not, I’m still very thankful to have the opportunity to be in the first few rows, hear the sound check, etc.
Thanks again!
How do u get the password for VIP tickets????
It's in your profile.
anyone who experienced VIP treatment do tell. The seats are in front rows? Does the band actually attend meet and greet?? I can’t wait saw them 3 years ago from nose bleeds and I was in heaven. Up front now, bring it!!!! Just like some comments on the experience from those that experienced it. CHEERS!!
Anyone??? Haha
I did VIP in November. There is a lot of waiting, a lot! You get first dibs at merch. You listen to soundcheck which was really cool. After soundcheck Justin, Adam and Danny come down from stage and take a group picture. There isn't much interaction but maybe others have had different experiences. You aren't guaranteed front row, it's usually first three rows. The closer you are to the front of the line doesn't guarantee better seats. No Maynard.
Totally worth it!!
Are you allowed to bring some stuff with you (say a small backpack with time killing materials in it) and also most importantly, what about snacks, do they feed you?
There was a limit on bag size. Some snacks are a good idea. They fed us really well but I think it depends on the venue.
And I imagine we get more info closer to the event about stuff like bag size limit? Anyways, thanks for sharing!
So happy I scored a vip package for Tacoma!!
Have see four shows, with two at the Gorge here in Washington State that were two of the best concerts I’ve seen!
See you in May!
I have tickets for my 1st VIP experience!!!!! Going to the Sioux Falls SD show and only have to drive 40 miles................FUCK YA!!!!!!!
HELP (Please*)

They Just* announced 2 Days ago, that TOOL Is coming to Buffalo, Ny
Please How. Can I get the VIP Pre-Sale Package.
Please help... Thank Yous
If you are a Tool Army member, you should have received a email with instructions how to purchase. I did and the process went smoothly for me. If you are a member already, check your email and spam or get with the support team. Good Luck!!
Scored my VIP tickets for 19 APR, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll be there.

I heard VIP tix go on sale today. Is this true or a rumor?
If it is true, where on toolarmy.com would I find them?
At the top there's a link: Toolband.com/vip-package
You'll need your presale code which can be found in your profile.
Is there a Toolarmy presale for regular tix? Or just the VIP packages?
VIP only
I was too slow! Do you happen to know if they will release more VIP packages on another date?
Going to the OKC show! See you there! Spiral Out!
So my bank has been charged and I got an email confirmation. I'm assuming I got my tix....however the site said it didnt go through.....?
If you have a confirmation # you should be good to go
And where is seat placement? I dont see where our seats are in the VIP purchase?!
They hand out tickets for vip once you get to the venue...usually the first 3 rows are where you will end up
Got my VIP for Tampa. 37th show and 3rd VIP experience. Hope to meet Adam again.
I also scored 2 VIP for Tampa see you their brother. I was at the Jacksonville show last year this will be my 1st VIP experience
Yeah man...............I get all giddy like its my 1st show. Just saw them in Raleigh NC. Looking forward to hearing 7empest Live, fingers crossed.
Going to the Toledo show and first time VIP. I noticed it says parking for one vehicle but tickets are picked up at will call. Do we get a parking pass emailed to us?
Tell how VIP was?? Please do share, my first and so pumped.
This is awful. I love Tool and they are now my son's favorite band so we were psyched that they extended their tour and he can get to experience them live. Without a normal pre-sale it's nearly impossible to get decent tickets for in-demand shows, despite the attempts the ticket brokers use to stop bots. But seriously? The only thing Tool can give their faithful fans and members is a $500 ticket experience?! Very disappointed.
Suck it up buttercup. Best way to see this band is up front. 37th show.
37th show that's crazy!! I just got VIP tix for N.Y. 6th time seeing them since 2001. 1st time VIP experience. Hope to meet Adam Jones too. He's my favorite member. Such a cool dude I hear. I had shitty seats when I saw them in November. I decided to splurge. What the hell, VIP is the shit. Cannot wait.
OH YEAH 500$$ for 1, let me repeat that, O.N.E. fkn ticket?!?!
Does this make Anyone elses skin craw??
I'm Sorry I cant afford to throw away a grand so my ol man and I can attend A show. I love Tool and would go to every show if it were possible . That's why this bs is even harder to choke down. Since reg presales dont exist anymore for members , I have to wait till tickets go on sale to the General Public. Do you have any idea how hard it is to fight the ticketbrokers for decent seats so you dont have to pay double face value?? Hell No!
Tool has been my All Time Favorite band, without a doubt for the last 25 yrs . No other has ever come close to making me feel the same way. Sadly now all I feel is disgust that you all would allow your true fans to be raped by Corporate American Greed.
Take out a loan and don't miss this show. Could be last tour.
Notice it's for VIP package....its gonna be worth it!
$517 with fees. m/
Worth every penny!!!
Tom, after we pick up tix from will call, is there going to be time at some point to check into our hotel? Or do they have us moving all the way til end of the concert? Thanks!
Or whoever wants to answer my VIP question. Thanks!
Last night my bike and me checked out all the cities listed above - turned out none of them is situated in Europe.
Somebody must have got something wrong. Check again, somebody! ; )
Is there a presale on Thursday at 10am local times bc on some dates? Ticketbastard has some dates like this.
I'm just so crazy stoked they're coming to S. F. I'm hoping to get tickets. Hopefully they won't be sold out before I can scoop up a pair for myself and my wonderful wife.
where does the presale code come from?
Look in your profile.
How do you use the presale code to get tickets??
yes how do we get presales tickets I can only find how to get VIP tickets
If it's the same as the first set of dates (which I'm guessing it is) it's only VIP tix for presale.
This was a really pleasant surprise when I read the news yesterday! I was fortunate enough to do VIP at the show in Newark, NJ where I had an amazing time (even got guitar picks and a cool Alex Grey poster). Then I saw them in Atlantic City, NJ which I felt was just an awesome bonus. Now, assuming I can get tickets, I’ll get to see them again in Long Island, NY! Never thought I’d get to see these guys 3 times in less than a year without having to travel around the country. I’m psyched! Thank you Maynard, Adam, Danny, and Justin!
We are from Florida and we were also at the Atlantic City show...then we drove down to Wash DC. I'm so damn happy to see them again back in Florida!!!!! Cheers
Any suggestions for getting three VIP tickets? I want to take my boys but only have one TA membership.
Only way to get 3 would be to have another member buy the 3rd one but it would not be guaranteed that you would sit together. They randomly hand the tickets out for VIP.
Can I call you daddy?
Which show Desiree, I would be willing to help you out getting a vip to Baltimore or Scranton show. Reply here if interested.
Thank you for the offer Marcus. It's for the Grande Rapids show... and maybe the Madison show too! I managed to pick up two for GR then I went back in and purchased another one. If the system lets me I'm assuming it's ok.
It's not ok to buy more then 2. They do go back and audit ticket purchases. If they see you have more then 2 with the same account they will cancel your entire order.
Also says tickets are non transferable purchaser must show ID at gate.
I’d email them and let them know if you bought three...they might just be able to group the three of you together. Hope it works out for you.
I sent them an email. I don't want any surprises. When I went to TO in November I bought two but went with friends and they let us all sit together. They are very well organized so I'm sure it'll work out. They did do some audits previously but I think that was because TA members had purchased tickets when they shouldn't have. I've been a TA member for 20 years. All those karma points have to be worth something right?
+5 to you! Maybe see you in Madtown
Does this mean Tool Army members will actually have a shot at tickets???
It says we will. ?
Not regular tickets though correct? Seems it's only VIP tickets again.
Which sucks for people that cant afford the ridiculous VIP prices. I havnt even seen the cost but I
already know I cant afford them. Exactly Why couldn't we get a reg presale?! 've seen 1 since my membership started in 2004. Without the presale I'll be lucky to get tickets period. The ticket fuckers wipe them out quick.
VIP or scalpers.............your choice. I chose VIP, again.
St. Louis requests? Ya I know, but I’m a dreamer.
H?
Jimmy?
Hooker with a Penis?
Oh man I’d love to hear Rosetta Stoned again. If I had wrote that, I’d have to play that every night. Incredible. Thanks for keeping the train rolling and working so damn hard boys! T 2 O 0 2 O 0 L
7empest
also we could do without 46&2. it's a great song but every single show?
46&2>Aenima....that said 7empest for this leg please! Did someone say JIMMY!!!???
Does Tool Army get access to regular presale also on Wednesday?
Yeah I know right? My exact question as well !
unfortunately, no, just gives you access to vip presale. tool never has reg presale tix available. if you can swing it though vip is defiantly worth it, first 2 or 3 rows on floor , soundcheck , merrch etc. all of this usually equates too more than the cost of ticket esp if the bots get all the tix and you are left paying resale prices.. I did it in Toronto in November was so worth it and am looking at getting Montreal TIX TOMORROW
Nope VIP only. Best way to go. 3rd VIP experience
So do we only get VIP package presales? what happened to getting regular presale tickets?
this is my question also
Pre sale is only VIP tix. Get them now before they are gone. Or pay more than you should for shitty seats through a scalper. This guarantees a great seat. Best way to go to a TOOL show is up front.
Does anyone mind if they cut 46n2 and Stinkfist from this leg of the tour? I’m kidding I’m kidding... kind of ;)
Every end note of 46 and 2, I hold my breathe and feel complete. It stays!
I love 46&2
For VIP tickets? When clocking the link for the presale, looks like there will be a code to enter Wednesday morning. I am thinking that will be an email sent to Tool Army members either today or tomorrow regarding presale info. Anyone out there happen to receive that email already?
In your profile
Thanx?
Thank's for the tip ! :)
Thank you!!!!
Does this link: Toolband.com/vip-package not work until Wednesday?
It works, just got my tix.
Sactown!!!!
Making Monday a whole lot sweeter ???
NY again! Sweet!
Hoo-fuckin-rah! Thank you for stopping in Vancouver.
