Maynard announced on Twitter overnight that there will be pre-sales for the Puscifer gigs via Ticketmaster.  So far the link he provided only confirms a Vegas Pre-Sale, but I expect there will be more.

Also, enjoy this promo video by Meats Meier featuring Maynard’s cat.  The one from Mantra perhaps?

According to toolman1414 from Toolarmy:

I joined the KROQ street team yesterday and not only do you get presale but the general admission tix are $10 cheaper. It starts tomorrow (10-24-09) at 10:00am for the radio presale. Password is: KROQEPICENTER

This is for the Epicenter Festival in Pomona, CA on August 22nd and tickets are via Ticketmaster. Good luck getting tickets to possibly Tool‘s only West Coast gig.

Update: Tickets may be available now via the Linkin Park pre-sale.  Use the password LPU8EPIC

Blair made a several posts to Toolband over night, a couple of Birthday (Camella, Kat and Pete below) call outs, as well as dropping a few hints regarding the tour:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PETE!

Cheers to TOOL’s manager, Pete, who… knows all the tour dates (except for one).

He then goes on in a Toolarmy Exclusive post that:

As of now, there are only about a dozen shows planned, scattered throughout the United States of America. When the shows are confirmed, and the BAND’S booking agent and/or management gives me the go-ahead – and ONLY when they give me the go-ahead (for contractual obligations), I will post them.

He also goes on to discuss the possibility of a Toolarmy Pre-Sale for these shows, which he believes will be happening for most of the gigs.

Blair has recently made a post on Toolband to confirm what we already know – that Tool are playing a couple of festivals this year:

These two shows have been confirmed, with more to follow. I’ve been told that there will be ToolArmy pre-sales, but haven’t received the details yet. As soon as more dates are confirmed, they will be posted, along with the pre-sale information.

• Jul 18 2009 – Mile High Music Festival – Commerce City, CO, USA
• Aug 01 2009 – Liberty State Park – Jersey City, NJ (Ed: All Points West Festival)
  

Tickets on sale: April 6

The opportunity for Toolarmy Pre-Sales is interesting.  Hopefully they can devise a pre-sale method that works better than the last tours.  No word on Lollapalooza yet it seems, but given that the lineup hasn’t been officially announced I guess it’s no surprise.

I’ve said this before in various comments, and I’ll say it again for those that don’t read them – I expect the summer “tour” may not amount to more than a handful of festival gigs.  Those hoping for a full US tour I imagine will be disappointed.  I’ll gladly be proven wrong though!

inVINCEcible2k3 pointed out to me today this Pre-Sale on KBCO for the Mile High Festival in Denver, which features Tool.  Ticketing options include:

• 2-day Passes are $162.50 (plus service charges).
• Single Day tickets are $90 (plus service charges).
• Carpool package for $650 (plus service fees) and includes 4 tickets and special carpool parking.
• 2 Levels of VIP pacakages are also available ($400 for the Mile High Club VIP and $1250 for Mile High Apex).
• Childeren 8 and under are free with a paid adult admission.

gregrohmer from Toolarmy made a post today that tells us that there is a pre-sale for the LA Puscifer gig.  To obtain tickets you will need the pre-sale password.  Just to make marginally hard for scalpers to obtain, I’ve created a small hint for you:  What is the second word, of track 6 on V is for Vagina?

Pre-sale tickets are up for grabs, presumably via Ticketmaster between 10 and 10 this Thursday.
