Since this one doesn't have its own thread, let's put all posts for it here.
As far as I can tell nobody has admitted to knowing the on-sale date for this show ... but please, if anyone knows anything please let us hear it! ticketmaster.* apparently doesn't plan to be any help until right up before the sale date.
The 20th seems like a good guess, since that's when Spokane goes on sale (although I have also heard the 27th), and both shows are at Big Easy venues... |

Not sure how many Boise folks are still reading this, but I just learned that 50 Foot Wave is doing an in-store at Record Exchange, 4 pm, Sat, Apr 24. |

Anybody know if this Big Easy has the same setup with a restaurant as the one in Spokane, where they let you into the venue before the rest of the general public if you eat there? |

For anyone who has ever been to the venue:
How strict is the no-camera policy? I know that at most of the venues I frequent, they state that they don't allow cameras but don't check bags or strictly enforce it, especially if you don't use the flash.
I plan to get my camera in, anyway, I just want to know if I'll have to go to great lengths to hide it...

Small, only 1,000 people. It'll be rad to hear the Pixies blow the roof off such a small venue, everyone there will be very close to the band. |

how big a venue (i.e. capacity)
is the boise venue?
thanks!

In case anyone out there is looking for a Boise ticket, I have one available in exchange for Spokane or the 4/23 Vancouver show. Let me know. |

Don't mean to be an anal retentive jackass but the period at the end of my e-mail address mnsteelers@comcast.net was for punctuation. When I went back and looked at it, the period was included in the link. I wouldn't want someone to not be able to get in touch with me.
Again, need two boise tickets and will pay double face value. I would also like to trade a spokane for a boise. So, that's 3 boise tickets that I'm in desperate need of. Thanks man. |

Hey guys. I have an extra ticket for Spokane that I'd like to trade for a Boise ticket. I would also like to pick up two more tickets for the Boise show (for friends). I'm willing to pay double the face value. Anyone up for helping out a fellow pixies freak? If so, shoot me an e-mail at mnsteelers@comcast.net. thanks. |

she was always my favorite... enough of this family feud. I will buy you and middle brother a round at the Big Easy... any brother who turns another on to Pixies/FB&C's deserves the best. |
| yarbles |
Posted - 02/20/2004 : 19:33:04
you might be the older brother, but he's the one that would stand up for me when older brother picked on me....
sorry again older bro... and what do you mean you still "like" sister? |

s'cool... but... aren't we all Brothers... and I'm probably older than that other brother. I probably wouldn't beat you or him up too badly, that is unless Dad wasn't around. Oh well, it's only fair, after all I guess I blew both of you off at Christmas... this is what I get... FINE! Tell Sis I still like *her*.

              ...though he loved to rock and roll...
Here's my open request for any extras anyone may have happened to grab for Boise. No sob stories or anything. Hope for face value but more than happy to pay something "for your trouble".
email: johndietzel@yahoo . . . etc
Kirk--I'm in Provo. If you've gotten tickets or plan to go, perhaps we could consider splitting up a bit of gas money between us? I still ain't got no tickets.

I e-mailed that eBay scumbag using the "Ask seller a question" form -- except my "question" was "scalpers are the scum of this earth." Her response (it was a she):
"And your question is????"
Funny thing is, her e-mail contained her complete street address, which I will not divulge :) |

i got my 2, with a confirmation number and everything. knock on wood until they show up in the mail. especially because i had to borrow my boss' credit card to order them. so if i do get screwed, not only do i not go to the show, but i've also shat where i ate.
-> Disponibile <- |

Okay, ticketweb finally acknowledges they're sold out ... but still, that seemed to take way too long. I'm probably just being paranoid. |

yeah, I'm considering buying more for others that are at work or sleeping. But it's almost TOO easy. I went to a frank black show in downtown boise on a monday night and it was absolutely packed (he never showed though), so it seems odd that pixies tix would still be avail. |

As far as I can tell they're still available as of 10:18. Considering only 700 were left at the start, and Calgary sold out in less than 10 minutes, that sounds pretty odd. |

sorry guys, after gas money and short notice, I only had enough cash on me to get 4, which is the number I need. Hopefully ticketweb goes well for you all, sorry about the scalper frenzy!!! |
