Not wanting to blow my own trumpet or anything, travelling across the globe to see possibly the best band on the planet (I guess I cheated a little as I hadn't been home for a year, so it was an opportunity to see my friends and family as well as Pixies)... How far have some of you travelled to watch this tour??

I traveled 2,336 miles from Dallas Tx to Vancouver CA.
Was the best decision I have made in a long time. Anyone else over 2000 miles?? |

I traveled from Washington DC to Sacramento, CA to catch the Pixies at UC Davis. It was well worth it, plus I got to kick it Cali-style for a weekend with some of my best friends. So I basically flew across the country.
Good times! |

Just checked Mapquest... apparently I will be traveling 924.16 miles to see the Pixies. Now I just gotta decide if I'm gonna fly or drive. For some reason going by plane is seeming like the way to go at the moment.
The longest distance I ever traveled for a show just edges that one out by 4 miles. *GRIN* And it was one heckuva great show too.

Hi racerza, I'm from Pretoria. You definitely have to make some plans to go see The Pixies, as many times as possible. I saw another guy with a Pixies T-shirt on the plane back home, I'm sure there were quite a few who travelled to Europe for the shows.
Now, if only The Pixies would come to us!

I'm from Wisconsin, USA. Somehow, I am going to their show in Slovenia believe it or not. I'm actually going to be in Germany the whole summer, so officially I am only traveling 400km or so.
And I don't even have a ticket for the show :P |

Flew from San Francisco to Liverpool last year for the Catholics. This year it was flying from Oakland to Spokane/Boise and then driving to Davis/Indio, so not enough miles to impress. |

well you could argue that i flew from NZ to the UK to see them, but the fact was that i have been over here for 9 months anyways....
poor argument, i know.
in the end i had to take a 20 minute bus ride.
it was tough.

Flew from Westchester NY to Saskatoon (2/3 of the way across the continent) with two teenage kids. We spent about $2500 to see one show. Worth it.
