    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. 
    Have you seen the leaked dates? 

    Edit: I see them now haha

    In the old days Mohegan, NH, Garden would have been a no brainier but pretty sure I'll stick with one given arena show prices

    Hopefully there is a 2nd leg.

    I’m with you. Only was going to to Boston if it was a Friday or Saturday. Otherwise, I was only in for drivable shows.

    The only show that is close is Knoxville, but hotels will be a shitload or not existent with a home game the next day (granted, it’s against UCONN, but it’ll still be packed).

    I have hotels on hold for CT... I'm also thinking in the absence of a NYC date they might add a 2nd CT show on either the 9th or 11th (saw something a month or so ago about 2ne night in CT... I was skeptical of that until I saw no NYC this morning)

    New Hampshire on a Monday night sucks ass, I won't entertain that, but Boston on a Wednesday night is easy enough for me. 

    I'll probably go for CT being a Friday night (& a holiday) and Boston.

    Maybe Tool (in addition to PJ)are not familiar with the NY metro area, it’s like triple the population of anywhere else in the US and Canada, if not quadruple. Like you said at least we’ll save $$

    Makes no sense but I honestly don’t give a shit anymore. Easier to boycott an absolutely terrible industry.

    God damn… these ticket prices are insane… I might just grab the cheapest available for CT & see what the setlist is like before I commit to my weeknight hometown show. Can’t imagine they’re going to sell out w/ what they’re charging.

    Those prices above are for the various VIP packages

    Granted, the VIP packages aren't an apples to apples comparison, but for Buffalo last year, I got the cheapest vip package for $300 + taxes and had a seat in the 3rd row. 
    This year anywhere in the 2nd-5th row is going to cost $770 +/-, with the only notable addition to the package being the soundcheck and group photo. (the former admittedly, is a pretty sweet perk) 

    It's just the old man in me yelling at clouds at this point. I know. 
  • With Tool Army is it easy to get shut out during the presale, or pretty easy to get tickets?

    2022 was the first time I've seen them offer presale tickets outside of the VIP package. 

    I was able to a regular presale for Boston easily enough. 
  • Thanks 👍. What were the seat locations like?  Scattered or premium?
  • Merkin BallerMerkin Baller Posts: 11,449
    Idk what the overall options were, but here’s where I landed:

    I had the same experience as Merkin Baller for the same show. Seats were scattered throughout the venue and the onsale was not frantic. I like sitting near the soundboard for Tool and got a pair there pretty easily at face.

    & only 18 months prior at that. 

    I know who we're dealing with here, and don't expect them to leave money on the table... They're no dummies... everyone wants early access to guarantee getting a poster, and you have to pay $600+ for that VIP perk... the cheapest VIP doesn't even get you that. (& a healthy amount of the posters are ugly AF... these guys are laughing their way to the bank). 

    I'm glad I took advantage of those things when the prices were a little more reasonable / realistic. Now just the regular priced tickets make it harder to do more than one show... 1st world problems, I'm aware. 
  • I still can't believe I passed on paying $70 more for a signed poster than a regular poster first and last time I saw them.

    I passed on a Boston poster in 2012 for maybe $50... signed was $100. 

    those things go for INSANE money right now (& they're ugly AF)  :D   

    I'm past it now... I have so many posters in a file folder... I don't' even want any more. If PJ has a pop up store in St Paul, I may swing by, but my days of waiting in line to rush into the venue when the doors open are a thing of the past.
