I may have to bag the SD trip now. Harder to justify if they're coming here.... glad I didn't yet pull the trigger on Saturday night tix.
Best of luck with getting the SF tickets on Friday.
As for Saturday in SD, I totally understand. Decent tickets (price & location) are still scarce for that show.
Looks like I'll actually end up sitting this tour out.

Maybe Junior can weigh in, but I assume this has a lot to do with the small window between the decision to actually do the tour and the dates themselves. They probably want to announce the dates that they can when they're locked in, and deal with the few stragglers being released even later rather than the whole thing going up at a later time.

Yeah, I imagine that's the main reason why the dates trickle in - most tours are oganised months in advance, where it seems as this came about only because of the Monster Mash show. It makes it pretty tough on fans though, that's for sure...
The main thing that's really difficult is when the tickets/dates are announced and go onsale all within a matter of days. If you're in the middle of a pay-period and generally live paycheck to paycheck, it's hard to suddenly scrounge up $200 for face-value seats. But... it is what it is. Concert tickets and their acquisition have always been a shitshow in one way or another so this just seems like same song, 6th verse to me.
I am really stoked they are doing a SF show before the San Diego shows because they will be a little more on point and tight. They are pros and have been playing these songs for years but the Halloween show had a couple of mess ups, so I had heard. It was a one off show so I can understand if they weren't as tight. I will have to avoid this site after the SF show because I don't have any restraint to not look at the setlist, haha. I always looked that the setlists but the 2012 tour and 2014 tour I didn't look and really enjoyed the show more not known what is next. I actually hope they play 2 SF shows and really get into the groove. Very excited!

I can't offer any insight to the way they do business, because it's none of mine.
This tour was put together very quickly and wasn't expected, so I'd say that has a lot to do with how it's being announced. It's not easy putting together a coherent string of available arenas this time of year.
Hey, Junior...can you make that happen? It'd be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I definitely hold no influence in that department. I found out about the San Francisco show yesterday morning in Oakland from an employee at the Fox Theatre. That one wasn't even on the radar, as far as I knew.
Thanks again junior! You must be doing lights for Puscifer? I will be at the LA show on the 11th. You always do great work and very excited for the show. Look out for the long haired hippy wannabe, jk. If I see I will most likely not bug ya. I bugged ya once a long time ago and you gave me a setlist after the show and it made me very happy.

who buys 8 tickets besides professional scalpers.
Why don't you limit the max to 4 or 2?
If I had the means I would buy 8 tickets to resell at face value to like minded peeps here.

If other bands can do it why doesn't Tool look into it is what I wonder as well? Last time NIN rolled into the Az. here I was able to buy pre-sale tickets that actually had my name printed on them all nice and fancy . Also it wasn't a cluster fack and didn't cause any delays or have any problems of getting in, just sayin....
^I took advantage of the NIN ticket thing back in September 2013 and it was totally trouble free. Printing names on tickets and collecting at the venue will call was no big deal. TOOL should do something similar.
I did notice though the San Francisco show won't release tickets to at least December 18. Not sure if that deters scalpers too much but at least it's something.

The tickets go on sale at noon today, local time...
And +1 for NIN pre-sales, you don't even have to pay a NINarmy (heh) fee. The one downside would be is your stuck with tickets if plans change but think most of us our willing to take that chance.
Wow, that was pretty disappointing... got the "Sorry..." message exactly at 12:00pm Pacific... Tried another 25 or so times on both phone and computer.... no luck.
But then, magically, I got 4 for SF on 1/6/16.
I only need two at this point. I will be happy to hook up another fan at face, but I need a guarantee you won't resell. I am sick of getting screwed over by scalpers and won't feed into that shit.
