Ticketmaster (oh how I love these guys) put tickets on sale at 10:00 AM this morning for most of the dates on Tool's mini-tour (to follow Coachella). Normally, Ticketmaster's website gets crushed under the load of tons of fans pounding the site for tickets as all of the shows go on sale simultaneously. Surprisingly, that wasn't the case today, but they did sell out extremely fast.
I was hitting refresh in two browsers, and got my first "no tickets are available" message before 10:01 AM. Trying repeatedly, I actually managed to get the page offering me tickets one time, but trying to proceed from there produced an error.
Bastards.
Checking Craigslist, it seems like I'm not the only one to have this problem. So, now the question is, do I pay an insane amount for one ticket, or shall I just be satisfied with their Coachella performance?

Um, I didn't think they were playing an SF date. I checked ticketmaster and Tool's official tour page and noted that the closest they were coming to you was Portland. Has that changed?
They are coming to Chicago, though.
if I were you, I would just wait a day or two before the show to try to get tickets again from ticketmaster. sometimes they release any tickets they were holding for press 48 hours before the show and you could end up buying those. not the best best seats, but hey, it's something.
