Tickets for a bunch of Tool (and Puscifer) dates have gone on sale today, and according to your comments there have been a range of response from good to bad, with some people scoring good tickets, and other not getting much at all.  Word is the ticketing system for the Dallas show was a mess (which wasn’t really unexpected) and that the Camden show seemed to sell out very fast.  For those of you still in the hunt, I wish you all good luck!

In other news, Toolband has finally confirmed the tour, and added a few extra dates:

• 21st Jan, TBA
• 3rd Feb, TBA
• 4th Feb, Bojangles Coliseum, Charlotte, NC
• 6th Feb, Bank Atlantic Center, Ft Lauderdale, FL
• 7th Feb, UCF Arena, Orlando, FL

No word on on sale dates for these shows yet.

My guess is the 21st of January gig is likely to be Kansas and the 3rd of February could be NYC, Washington, or anything between New Jersey & Charlotte.  No word on any California dates, and I expect at this stage it’s looking less and less likely to happen.

A few more dates have trickled out for the Tool 2012 Winter Tour and for many happy fans they appear to be largely on the Northern and Eastern sections of your mighty continent.  Date “confirmed” so far (with the new ones in bold):

• 14th Jan, Reno Events Center, Reno, NV
• 15th Jan, Mandalay Bay Events Center, Las Vegas, NV
• 17th Jan, Tuscon Arena, Tuscon AZ
• 18th Jan, Tingley Coliseum, Albuquerque NM
• 20th Jan, Verizon Arena, Dallas, TX
• 24th Jan, Huntington Center, Toledo, OH
• 25th Jan, Air Canada Centre, Toronto, Ontario
• 26th Jan, John Labatt Centre, London, Ontario
• 28th Jan, TD Garden, Boston, MA
• 29th Jan, Susquehanna Bank Center, Camden, NJ
• 31st Jan, Mohegan Sun Arena, Uncasville, CT
• 8th Feb, Gwinnet Arena, Duluth, GA

Presumably there’s a bunch of other dates still to be announced, presumably down south, as well as possibly one or two more in the middle of the US.  I’d still expect a California date to be announced sometime at the beginning or end of the tour.  For more details head over to our Tour page.

Update: There’s also a Vegas date I forgot to mention!

In the last few days there has been plenty of speculation, as well as a few changes by Ticketmaster regatrding the Tool tour.  While still not confirmed officially by Blair or Toolband, the following dates have emerged:

• 14th Jan, Reno Events Center, Reno, NV
• 17th Jan, Tuscon Arena, Tuscon AZ
• 18th Jan, Tingley Coliseum, Albuquerque NM
• 20th Jan, Verizon Arena, Dallas, TX
• 24th Jan, Huntington Center, Toledo, OH
• 8th Feb, Gwinnet Arena, Duluth, GA

Allegedly some of these tickets go on sale on Friday, so keep your ears to the ground, and you wallets stuffed in preparation to get tickets…

Seems like quite short notice for Tool dates, however it appears that two dates have been posted on Ticketmaster for shows in January:

• 17th Jan, Tuscon Arena, Tuscon AZ
• 18th Jan, Tingley Coliseum, Albuquerque NM

Tickets go on sale on the 16th of December.  Thanks to all of you who emailed me!

Update: ticketmaster no longer shows those dates, however I am lead to believe that they (or at least the tour) are legitimate…
