Praying I get my tickets before the servers crash! Hopefully they don't, I wonder if there are people waiting at the box office? I normally would've drove by and checked but I'm out in California this weekend....

[MobileVortex]

Their fbook post said no waiting in line until 9am. I'll be refreshing at 10, shooting for 4 tickets.

Scored two tickets. Stoked!

[Bill Hilly]

Just bought 2 tickets pretty easily. I tried to buy the max of 4 and I was placed in a queue, so I tried 2 instead and was instantly sent to the billing information page.

[azbay]

Got my 4 tix! See you down in tempe on Halloween!

[Krazy_blah]

No problems here either. They're still for sale 4 hours later so safe to say there's more than 5000 capacity

[blacksabbath]

My brother just ordered our tickets! See you guys there.

[MobileVortex]

I got my 4 tickets. I saw someone post that the capacity is 25000.

[Bill Hilly]

Flights are super cheap from Denver to Phoenix right now. I'm thinking I'm going to do a 4 day weekend in Az. Hit up the Grand Canyon and Sedona after the show.

[hellboy]

Flights are even relatively cheap from Adelaide to Phoenix (about $1500 return). Isn't going to happen though

Anyway, tickets hadn't sold out when I checked, so doesn't seem to be huge pressure on ticket sales. I wouldn't take too long making my mind up though.

[Krazy_blah]

I don't live in Denver but checked Southwest flights. Yeah- they start at like $100 round trip.

[3po1nt0]

i'm going too!

is this going to be tool's first show of 2015 or will they add another before it?

also do you think les claypool will sit in with them...on lateralus?

i've been seeing primus since fall 95, tool since spring 97, caught a few APC shows in fall 1999 with tim alexander on drums, 3 puscifer shows with tim on drums and primus on NYE 2014-2015 with danny (as well as primus fall 2014 with danny sit-in)

suffice it to say this double bill is magnficent in my mind.

hoping they add some other great bands. from what i've heard of coheed i'm not entirely a fan - saw them coachella 2010

[trampis]

Got my ticket and already booked a hotel room as well. Haven't bought a plane ticket yet, but looks like about $200 round trip for me.

Not sure if I will get to make it, but fuck I have to try. Tool and Primus? Fuck yes!

Trying to convince some friends to come with me. Wish I had more free time to hang out and visit more sites in AZ.

Anyone think Puscifer will fill that TBA slot?

[3po1nt0]

was just about to comment that with puscifer's new album coming out on 10/30 maybe that would have filling the TBA slot more likely, but there's a post on front page of this site that indicates they'll be playing on 11/1 instead. oh well (i'm only going halloween)

From that original post it seems the 1st of November is the most likely scenario. I reckon Maynard would rather have the Tool and Puscifer shows on different days given the choice. If they do play on the 1st, that's going to make it tough to get tickets as I heard that day was sold out.

[trampis]

On the monster mash website I'm able to add six tickets to my cart for that date. I didn't buy any, just checked.

I don't think I'll be sticking around for the show on the first. Hopefully Puscifer will go on tour after this and I can catch a show closer to home.

Cool, I stand corrected then.

[hellboy]

i'll be arranging a meetup for toolshed people heading to this show. is anything similar happening here on fourtheye? we should coordinate this. the best parts of these trips is meeting you glorious bastards.

unrelated: going to rent a car to visit Jerome in the day before/after the festival. it's a 2 hour drive. i did it in 2009 (but wasn't 21 at the time which was lame) and it was a great experience. anyone want to join?

I know there's an event on Toolarmy fan page on Facebook for a meetup as well. Feel free to use this thread to coordinate one as well.

[trampis]

I was planning on visiting Jerome the day before the show as well.

[azbay]

On the way towards Jerome in Clarkdale is four eight (46+2?) Wine works which is a co-op wine company maynard has put together. There you can buy/sample Kindred which is a compilation wine that is limited (think 50 barrels per wine maker, don't quote me) but a cool tasting room non the less...

[azbay]

And of course check out the puscifer store right next to caduceus, they usually close early though! Pretty awesome place with a downstairs vinyl store and heck get your hair cut there too at barbifer (think that's how you spell it). They have quite a few apc things there if your into that as well

[azbay]

FYI, there are now 2 day discounted tickets.....

[MobileVortex]

Wow, that really annoys the hell out of me. 4 of us are flying down to AZ to see this show, already purchased tix for Fri, Sat, and Sun. Super excited for this weekend, but this puts a bad taste in my mouth. e-mail sent.
