    US and Canada tour! I can't see paying 54.99 for tool army membership per year 
    I'm grandfathered in from back when they did lifetime memberships... otherwise I wouldn't do it.

    Although, unlike Pearl Jam, there's no cutoff for memberships and presale tickets. You can buy a TA membership up right up until the ticket sale and get access. They'll take your money, they dgaf. 


    With this new website layout, they have a 'delete account and membership' option directly above where you log out. 

    That's absolutely by design... You know they're hoping a few of us who were grandfathered in mistakenly cancel and have to go w/ the annual membership (which went up $5 because of course it did)

    Tickets wise does Tool Army just get you access to VIP passes?

    How much does it help getting tickets?

    I think 2022 was the first time they offered presale tickets outside of the VIP packages.. I didn't take advantage of it, but they're pushing it as a feature more prominently than before, so I have to imagine it will be offered again.

    Interesting they indicate "early" access to vip, Implying non members will have access. 

    One of the worst things with bands and touring, is that key details left out until last days, making planning difficult 

    For those not interested in the exclusive merch, not sure why we'd drop $55/year on TA

    IIRC, they have opened up VIP to non members in the past if they don't sell out to the fanclub. But I don't think that's happened for a few years. 

    & the memberships are all about the tickets... the exclusive merch is mostly crap. The skull cap is great but everything else is garbage. (& I don't know if they're offering the skull cap anymore... the cheap bastards)

    Don't forget the windbreaker. I know I have that around somewhere.

    Am I missing something or is that the jankiest community setup ever created. It's like an embedded social media site?

    If it follows the pattern of the last few tours, we can expect tickets to go on sale Friday.

    So Tuesday announcement. I can't wait!

    Countdown clock now on website. This seems like more fanfare than for just a tour announcement

    What else would it be? Unless it's counting down to a 10 year countdown clock for the next album.

    Can't see a a countdown for a tour, I'd guess albulm news

    I'll be shocked if it's for anything other than a tour. 

    Yeah... seems like a lot of hype for just a tour, but they're also pushing sales for those TA memberships. 
  • pjl44pjl44 Posts: 9,468
    I'm expecting tour - will be pleasantly surprised if it's anything more and thoroughly disappointed if it's another gaudy knick knack for sale 
  • GB281198GB281198 Posts: 461
    It's definitely a tour announcement some people are getting presale codes. I just don't remember them hyping an announcement this much but maybe my memory is just fading.

    No, I think your memory is spot on, and I genuinely think it's all about pushing those TA memberships. 

    Send more money.

    One can hope. I did read Mackie Osbourne talk about it in an interview where they mentioned 10,000 days getting released on vinyl

    Nothing near me. Unless the setlist is mind blowing I’m not driving to Philly to see them. I’ve seen them over 15 times so I’m good. Saving a lot of money this year on concerts.
