The Fear Inoculum tour, which sees the band performing in some cities for the first time in over a decade, has received widespread accolades with the Los Angeles Times calling it “impeccable,” the Chicago Tribune describing the outing as a “twisting multimedia rollercoaster of a concert” and The Arizona Republic saying it’s “a visually breathtaking night of dystopian art-rock spectacle.”
Fear Inoculum (http://smarturl.it/TOOLFIa) arrived on Aug. 30 following years of anticipation. The album debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top 200 and earned heaps of critical praise with NPR saying, “Fear Inoculum was worth the 13 year wait,” Revolver proclaiming the 10-track album “a masterpiece to be dissected for years to come” and Consequence of Sound saying the release finds “TOOL in peak performance.” The release has received two GRAMMY® nominations: Best Rock Song for “Fear Inoculum” and Best Metal Performance for “7empest.”

Hoping they do this for the UK too!
Portland/Eugene/Spokane for me.
Good luck to everyone still trying to score tix.
Got my VIP tickets for Spokane! I’m so stoked! Tool is on my list of MUST SEE shows, and I finally get to see em live!!! Can’t wait to have my mind blown.
???
After having this account for some 15 years, its nice to finally see a true benefit. Just got a VIP ticket to the Spokane show. Cannot wait. Haven't seen them in concert in about 10 years.
I got VIP tickets for the Spokane show. Does anyone know where the seats are for that tier of tickets. The sale confirmation doesn’t state where the seats are located.
I was wondering the same thing. Not much info given with the tickets.
Does front 3-4 rows work for you? ;) Congrats!!! I’m going in Portland!
I got Portland also.. Yay!!.. I was worried that they weren't going to show in the Northwest.
Why won’t it let me access the VIP sales when I click on the link?
First two rows on the floor are VIP, they will hand your tickets out on the day of the show
Anybody else here not receive their merch after they signed up for the Tool Army membership? I joined in September and have emailed multiple times asking when we might see the merch. Only response I got was that they were busy shipping CD's right when they were released...haven't gotten any responses back since.
Same here. No response. No merch.
Same....
Dang. That's a bummer. I'm really not trying to be a pain in the ass about this, but I hope someone in the merch department sees these comments. Guys, can we get an update on the shipment status? A new Tool shirt would really tie this dude's wardrobe together. I'm happy to pick it up at the show in Idaho in March. :)
The Dude abides.
Right after I posted here this morning I sent another email asking about the status. A couple of hours after, I received notification that the order has been shipped.
Excellent! Thanks for letting me know. That's encouraging. I will send another note.
Portland VIP SOLD OUT at 10:00. See you in Eugene....Road Trip !!!
As soon as 10:00am hit I went to purchase the VIP Package for Portland and it was already sold out... WTF!!!
Got mine for Spokane. After great stress and turmoil it did happen lol
Do you know where the VIP ticket seats are located for the Spokane show?
Shit are the Spokane VIPs sold out already is that why they’re not showing when I click the link?
Batterman Road... Kobe!
The Boise show link is wrong
This link takes you directly to the venue's site with links to purchase tickets.

Hey Folks-
Looks like the link under the March 14, 2020 Boise show is actually the link to the Portland show. I just went to the Ticketmaster website and it does not show the March 14, 2020 Boise show at all on the Tool page. Any idea what is going on?
Thanks!
Does anyone know if the commemorative group photo is you with the band members or is it with everyone else who bought the VIP and the band members?
It's a far off shot with the band members minus Maynard in the front and all the vip people in the background. You do it after the soundcheck. This is what happened when I did vip in Chicago.
Ok thanks
Flew to SLC couple months ago for an awesome show but now they're in Spokane, a 10 min drive!!! VIP, here we come!
I'll drive to Portland, but would much rather see you at the Gorge under the stars on a WA late summer evening.
Tell me about it! I’m stunned they have skipped us 2 times this tour. Not the first time they’ve hit Spokane and portland without a Seattle stop.
Can’t afford at this moment, maybe I’ll catch you at the Gorge one of these summers.
Fully erect!
