yeah, just that it was signed. the poster itself was ugly. bought it and sold it shortly after. I have resigned myself to only put up posters that are signed. So the Tool one hurts a bit. I checked on ebeans and it goes for $900 CDN.
Those prices don't seem that crazy for what you get
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.
$300 for a 3rd row ticket at an arena show is a steal
& 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.
100% with you on the last point. It's hard to imagine 20 years ago I went to 8 Pearl Jam arena/shed shows. I made way less money! That's unfathomable now.
Presale was relatively smooth for me. Couldn't get 4 together but got 2 good pairs near the soundboard and 185 each with fees. No complaints.
Which show?
I got my single for CT... wife's going to make the 2 hour trip w/ me & we'll make a fun night of it at the casino. Ended up getting one for Boston too. High prices aside, I know as the show gets closer I would have regretted not having it, being so close to home.

Got tickets to Charleston show but man do I hate Ticketmaster. It's like Charlie Brown and the football I click on a pair of tickets and they're snatched away before I can buy them. Started out close to stage and at the back before I got some.
I think 2nd show (Saturday) is happening in CT. It was listed in the original post.
11/10 & 11/11 for CT were leaked a while back (I've had hotel reservations for both since I heard )
2 shows in Uncasville sounded like a stretch, but in the absence of an NYC show, and the 10th & 11th being a holiday weekend, the only way I see it NOT happening is if the 10th doesn't sell out, which i think it will, and quickly.

Mohegan ticket prices are insane. What did you pay?

Middle tier... $149 & fees for about $181 total
Lower loge in the back, which I'm fine with. (did a couple VIPs over the last 5 years, so I've had the up close experience)
Absurd prices, but proly market rate... and I have a pretty good feeling that 4 or 5 years from now we won't be able to see Tool live any more, so I'm trying to get in as much as possible.
Mohegan Sun is a cool venue too. The arena is about as intimate as arenas get (10K capacity) and while I don't gamble, it's pretty awesome to walk out of a concert into the casino & have all those options for things to do.

I actually grew up 10 minutes from the Sun which is why I was poking around at the tickets. It is a pretty intimate room and I guess that's why comparable tickets are over 2x the Garden. Booooooooo! Sounds like you got decent seats though so have a blast.

Weekend nights too... I'll take it.
I have no qualms now about missing that Monday night NH show... plus that venue sucks for sound. (at least it did when Tool played there in '09 - can't remember how the sound was in '02)

I think those tickets you were looking at are premium, or resale... I saw a lot of the same price points as Boston when I was looking earlier.
