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.

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. 

Yeah they're platinuming tickets where comparable tickets in Boston we're not platinumed. Not really complaining but it's interesting.

Turns out you’re right… there are $99 singles left for Boston high up in the balcony. There’s also singles available at Mohegan high up in the balcony, and those are $149. Looks like Mohegan didn’t have that $99 lower tier that other venues had (which would make sense, Mohegan holds 7k fewer people)

Mohegan had $99 tix, sections 111, 112, and 113. I was able to get 2 in 111 for the Saturday show.

Tix were a little too steep for me. Plus around those dates aren't good for me w/ work

How amazing would a Tool show be at the Las Vegas Sphere 

Good god, yes. I would see that in a heartbeat.

Rosetta stoned the only addition to the set. Im
Not a fan of the encore at all. I don’t know if it’s enough for me to attend any shows this leg. We’ll see 

Yeah, that set is pretty underwhelming. I'll still catch the Boston show, but I'm going to unload at least one, if not both of my Mohegan Sun shows.

I’m a drummer and DC is my favorite. But CCT into Culling Voices is an awful way to lead into Invincible. Which to me is a bad closer as it is. If it stays this way I’ll be skipping them if they hit my area next year. Such a shame man I was really hoping the completely changed the set for this leg. 

I agree about the encore... I loved Invincible as a closer in 2019, but it's worn thin at this point. & yeah... CCT -> CV is also underwhelming. Not to mention Rosetta Stoned is one of my least favorite songs by them... it has it's moments, and I know it's a fan favorite from that album, but there are parts of it that just come off as a hot mess to me... I would take practically anything else in their catalog over that song.   

I don't want to miss both CT shows... I have a unique seat for N2, (lower bowl, rear corner front row... it's the only seat in the row due to the dimensions of the section) but with the cost of the hotel, on top of the ticket plus gas money to drive down... I don't think I can't justify it.

I'm glad they gave us the set they did in 2022.
