maelzoid Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Expect that tickets will be pretty expensive, but ultimately worth it. Have only seen them at download, so really want to catch them indoors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great price if you're in the front few rows, but stuck at the back of the NEC....? I'd easily spend that if it was standing on the floor, but it being all seated does give me pause to consider. I can't bear all-seated gigs, it really sucks the atmosphere out of it. And I'm not inclined to pay much, knowing that I'm going to be so far back. At least with GA, you can get to the front if you get there early. I just don't get why artists, especially metal bands would choose this. Can they make more money by going all seats?

jparx Posted September 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 God dammit. I'm in the US just after their US tour and don't return home until days after their UK tour 😂 14 years and counting without seeing a TOOL show.

FloorFiller Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Yeah all sitting for a metal gig is fucking shite. I know Tool aren’t exactly a wall of death, circle pit kind of metal act, but still, the idea of people just sitting in the front row looking up at them, bobbing their heads and tapping their shins is hilarious.

All seating definitely sucks, people should have the choice for sure, but I've seen TOOL twice with seated tickets and it was a pretty incredible show both times. Better than the time I saw them standing in fact. Accept it's not for everybody though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First 5- 10 rows are Toolarmy presale and they ask $500 usd for a single ticket. And sounds like theyre going to offer a few diff options.

JSmurphy Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Looks like presale for London is tomorrow not Wednesday. The O2 Priority site also says 08.30.. now I'm sure it's going to be 09:00 but worth noting for those trying tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprefan Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) So they are offering a regular presale! Youre lucky, we hardly ever get those over here. pick your package!! https://toolband.com/packages/ Edited September 27, 2021 by Suprefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivalschools.price Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 As it happens I can’t make these dates but the fact that they’re all seater had made me feel a lot better about missing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been like that for 15 years so I dont know why its such a big deal. The Lateralus Tour was the last one which had standing on the arena floor 20 years ago. Outside of festivals I have never seen them in a non all seated setting cause there are none to go to. update for the uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it is only possible to buy through Tool army page? Tool army is the only way outside of those O2 presales it seems. 50 minutes ago, RarerThanDandyB said: How much are they? Tool army packages are $300 - $500 usd. If changed into gbp, dont know. if its regarding regular ticket prices Im assuming its similar to over here and would be £60 - £150. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
