[velvet_draven]

First off I would like to thank all the souless, shit sucking, child molesting, nun raping, fucking cunt bastard scalpers out there that did nothing more then buy tickets just to pawn them off at outragious prices via auction sites such as ebay...and thus preventing true fans such as myself and friends from going

i know how it feels...that happend to me when i was living in denver and i wanted to see NIN..they were playing two days in a row and sold out..it made me angry because scalpers even in holland, china, and the uk had tickets on ebay for ridiculous prices!

i got so angry that i called interscope records and chewed them out...i didnt care who i was talking to...i knew they didnt care...but funny thing though, 2 weeks later a huge article came out in rollingstone came out about how scalpers are buying up all the tickets and wasting them..and not giving true fans a chance to see their favorite band play...one of the bands they mentioned was NIN..

weird, huh?

good luck. at 300-400 a ticket (at least here) I wouldn't get my hopes up, unless you have a really really good friend that happened to get tickets. I tried to get tickets too and the venues website and phone system were crashed because of it (they didn't use a vender such as ticketmaster).

The exact same thing happened when Tool played two shows at Paramount 5 years ago. My experience is Tool + Small Venue = Fat Chance unless you want to pay out the ass for it. I also suspect that scalpers actually are not actually that large a percentage of the sales as I believe they were limited to 2 tickets per person. Scalpers tend to go for shows with higher volume per person ticket allowances.

As it is, once again good luck.

yeah that's what I'm thinkin

BUT I was at the show at the Paramount in 2001 in Seattle, that was on my birthday and Ticketmaster never charged me for them...gave them to me as a gift...

they arent really playing anywhere near me..but i imagine once they tour europe they will be back..patience...

rawrrrrr...i LOVe TOOL soo much...

[velvet_draven]

I know you do babe, as do I

...oh they'll be back, I'm sure they'll play a full arena tour when they come back

[iamred]

hehe..you called me babe..
silly Dusty..

i was just thinking about you the other night...when you used to be really close and i was living in miami and you were visiting orlando and we were trying to think of a way to meet.. =)

lol...

one day...huh?

good luck for tickets..i hope by some miracle you get them..i saw on eBay they are going for insane prices! $1000 for two tickets...how much were they originally? it should be soo illegal for people to be able to sell a ticket over face value =(

blah on them..argh

[velvet_draven]

LOL I totally remember that and I was calling you via pay phones cuz I was worried my mom would get all weird about me trying to meet someone off the net...oh man...

[hellbillyright]

I'm sorry to hear it and I know how you feel since it happened when I was gonna see Tool right after Lateralus, but dude. What's wrong with raping nuns?

[goesdowneasy]

Well, I can give you the same advice someone gave me on the last Tool Tour. Keep trying. Ticketmaster dumps tickets back in when they discover someone bought over the limit. I got ONE. It was spiritual. God could have killed me right there.
