Hi, I need help, I'm trying to get Tool tickets for the concert in Manchester, NH, and I can't figure out how to buy tickets, every time I try to find a seat it says it's not available, here's the link that I am talking about:

I tried too. Maybe it's sold out? When did they go on sale? Those guys in Tool are popular fellers.

Sold out?

JBoucks · #4 06-21-2009, 10:09 PM

Yeah thats what my dad was saying that there sold out, but they just came on sale on the 19th, and i tried it on the 19th and it did the same thing

2 days is plenty of time to sell out for a big act like Tool.

Time to hit your local craigslist or something like stubhub.

yeah but i tried it the day they came on sale, no way tool concerts sell out that fast

Just ring up whoever does the ticket sales and find out if it's sold out, if it is look for some on CL/eBay etc.

I have no idea here so could be completely different, but back home when they came out they sold out in a matter of minutes, and not even before they'd sold out, people were selling tickets on eBay for $800+

Way dude. Taylor Swift sold out in like 20 minutes. So did Hannah Montana and 98 Degrees up here. It happens when people like your music.

haha, ive been waiting for this concert for 2 years, i want to go so bad, i hate stubhub cuz ppl are such ripoffs, i hope they never sell there tickets and they loose all that money

They're probably sold out; keep in mind that tickets for the Lateralus tour were selling out in hours.

OK, so here's what you do. Get a job at the venue selling concessions, cleanup, janitorial, security or whatever they offer you. Show up the day of the concert and prepare for work. As soon as the lights go out for the show, take off your work clothes and run into the crowd and enjoy the show for free.

After it's over, report back to your work station and tell you boss you got trampled by the crowd during the gig and needed medical attention. Or, just go home and never report back to your boss.

I've been trying to get ahold of tickets to see the Foo Fighters for years. Every time they go on sale, they sell out within 15 minutes. Tool will definitely sell out that fast as well.

Great live show. Dave Grohl is one of THE nicest people i've ever met as well.

I've tried to get Tool tickets in the past. It's the one band I want to see live more than any other.

I would step on my grandmother's face to get a ticket to see them.

Tickets are usually gone within an hour.

It's not that great a live show, you're surrounded by a bunch of brain dead sheep for the most part who can get annoying.
Musically they're spot on though.

My Wife is a huge Tool fan. She has seen them each time they've come to town since Aenima. She can vouch for this statement. She and I converse regularly on how about 90% of the crowd is male testosterone meat head idiocy. People who don't get it.

wow this is awsome, tool will sell out faster than AC/DC? i thought it would be the other way around cuz i can still buy a ticket for AC/DC

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure Brian Johnson can beat the crap out of the singer dude from Tool.
