Concert: Tool @ Zenith - Munich

From the SonyBMG site, which I would say is a fairly reliable source...TOOL will return to Europe this fall as promised (At Roskilde Maynard said 'see you in november')...I have 'tbc' up there because toolband.com has yet to confirm them yet. Although, I did check the Zenith's site..and that night is not booked by another band on the night. Be still my beating heart...

Sony BMG Germany

Zenith's website

Looks like this might be confirmed quite soon...

I just looked on Muenchen Ticket, and they have a pre-sale listing up...https://www.muenchenticket.de/vorstellung.jsp?id=115853

Tickets are EUR 42.90, although it does mention that the advance booking is not yet confirmed (Der Vorverkaufsbeginn für diese Leistung steht noch nicht fest.)

...still this is a good sign..

Huzzah ! Can't wait...

The date is on Toolshed, so it must be true...

Although I hate Zenith, I might go anyway.. not often that Tool play here!

How is the sound there? Tool would be pissed if it's a venue with shitty sound...

From the pics i've seen it looks...like a giant warehouse...

And it is a warehouse, rather small though. Awful ventilation (hence my fainting fit during A Perfect Circle and the Deftones... must pissed off I was, though I was backstage with APC ) the sound was awful when we were there too, but maybe they just have dodgy sound guys? APC's sound was better than the Deftones.

Ah the perks of passing out...but yeah, i'm surprised Tool aren't playing a bigger venue like Olympiahalle, since most people are expecting a grander Fall tour, akin to the last Lateralus tour...

Oh and in case some of you out there are thinking about attending some of their other dates (like I am)...

18/11/06 - MÜNCHEN Zenith
03/12/06 - OBERHAUSEN König Pilsner Arena
04/12/06 - LEIPZIG Arena
05/12/06 - STUTTGART Porsche Arena (this one is just next door!)
12/12/06 - MANNHEIM Maihalle

I contacted Muenchenticket.de and this is what they replied:

tickets go on sale FRIDAY 28 JULY

...or so I have read a few times across the Tool boards..(i.e. Toolnavy.com)

lol, 43 Euros?
Are the tickets made of gold?

In the US they're going for 120-300 $

That's pretty normal...how much were you expecting to pay for a major international band?

It sure beats ticket prices in Australia, where a major band like Tool would easily be like 50 euros next time they tour...but then that's because it costs bands quite a bit more to fly halfway across the world, and as bands become more popular down the years, they tend to get more expensive (mainly because they play bigger capacity venues)

Look on the bright side though, with a band like Tool at least you are getting your money's worth...a spectacular live show, and one of the best displays of musicianship around

I'm sure that's not the actual face values for those tickets...it seems when it comes to Tool, the US dates sell really quickly, and unfortunately the low-life scalpers get a nice chunk of it to put on ebay.

Tickets on sale now for all shows EXCEPT stuttgart...which is quite strange
