What’s hilarious is the “innovations” for this tour are probably what’s going to keep most of us out. The fan 2 fan thing you can read about on TM, it’s going to be tiny little drops like this. No new tickets. And only tickets from people who bought and can’t use and then are honest enough to re-sell them that way vs Stubhub. And no one has extras because of the one ticket allowance. Used to be if you lost the lottery, those who won would say something like “selling my extra, msg me”. And it made the fandom stronger, we’d have face to face meetups, enjoy the show together. It’s just super frustrating.
It’d also be amazing if 10C would be communicating at all. Maybe these random drops could be for VF at the very least? (Before 900 people comment and say they didn’t get a code, I know I’m spitballing).
What would be even more amazing is if the 10C (obviously TM won’t) were out there trying to determine who was selling tickets on resale sites and invalidate those tickets and put them up on fan 2 fan. I’ve seen a couple of bands do this, most notably Tegan & Sara on their last tour were doing this and then releasing them at the venue a few hours before the show and it would be like 20-50 tickets, which for a tiny venue is nothing to sneeze at.
I got a ticket drop for St. Louis even though I have a plane ticket and hotel to Baltimore... I freaked out and snagged them. I guess I will try to trade or sell to get a Baltimore.. if not.. I guess I will change my plane and I'm going to St. Louis???? I'm a mess, ya'll...

Going to have to be the latter. You won't be able to trade given the changes. For everywhere but NY and Denver, it's either you go in with the person who bought the ticket or you don't go.

I almost did the same thing when I was able to grab Denver tickets on the Denver drop but couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger. Just gonna keep hunting MSG till I go insane.

gotcha. I will keep checking on the fan to fan sell... but at least I have something now. I got shut out for the lottery, verified fan, and public sale.
TM is now throwing an extra captcha at me even after the phone number debacle and every other attempt getting an error. They are just making this as hard for a non-computer as can be.
My friend got MSG around 7pm tonight and he was shut out of everything too. Haven’t seen anyone actually post about MSG though. Seems Baltimore was kinda dropping here and there earlier. The closer it gets to the show more will be released/dropped I’m sure

Not sure if this is a drop but Ottawa, Quebec, LA1, Oak1, and Oak2 tickets behind the stage are available. Oak1 was only singles. Rows of tix available for LA1 and Oak2.
OKC upper sides (311, 312, 320, 321) are available.
Clicking on all the shows out of boredom.

I've always had good luck getting great tickets for a lot of bands day of the show. Got front row floor seats for the PJ Saturday LA 1 show in 2013 4 hours before showtime. I had to go to a TM box office for those but gotten many others online for multiple radiohead, tool and chili peppers shows the day of the show and they have always been lower level in the first few rows and sometimes a great floor ticket. Got 2nd row seats for Radiohead at the Shrine Auditorium in LA that fits about 6,000 and tickets to a special chili peppers Halloween show at the fonda theatre that fits 1,200 same day as well. They also released some good floor seats for that last Wrigley shows 2-3 days in advance so if you keep checking there is a good chance you can find some decent seats. Me and my brother got shut out of Nashville so hoping for a fan to fan ticket or a last minute drop

I got day of tickets for Eddie in DC back in 08. Decided what the hell and logged on TM at 8 that morning to test fate. Grabbed a single in the ADA section.
It’s possible, just going to take a lot of work / luck / patience.

The largest factor was the decision to play the shows in the locations they decided to play. The tickets on stub hub are a tiny fraction of capacity and as far as I know, legally available for resale in NY.

Same, I’ve gotten tickets to a lot of sold out shows a few days before or the day of. Like you said you just have to keep checking. I wouldn’t be surprised if more get released eventually.

At least at the time of this posting there are a few dozen tickets in the first lower level section from the stage a couple rows up and some side view tickets at a discount price. Last year got a lower level unobstructed side stage 5th row Tool ticket in Birmingham for half price ($75) when they opened up the section for sale day of the show. Perfect view although miss some of the front video screens but I've seen them enough times it's not a big deal. Wish the tickets for current tour weren't $190 after TM fees though. Need to find a ticket off stubhub after the official opening band start time for below face value

I’m not surprised. Tool did that for the Philadelphia show back in November. The show sold out the day it went on sale. About a week or so before the day of the show they announced more tickets were getting released. I don’t think the Atlantic City show was completely sold out but I think they released better seats to that show too the day of. Like I said I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens to some of these shows. Either way I think PJ are going to do a normal tour in the fall where they play two shows in most cities (Philly, NYC, Boston, Chicago) and I think it will much easier for everyone to get tickets.

Yup. Picked up Philly Tool tix about a week before the show. Excellent seats - such a great show.
