From a press release for general awareness on the 18th July. They're playing Ally Pally! That's spitting distance from my house!
PIXIES ANNOUNCE EUROPEAN TOUR DATES

Europe for two weeks worth of concerts. Before they cross the pond, Pixies

and then headline the San Diego Street Scene on Saturday, July 30. On
August 6, the band will play its first-ever all-acoustic set at the Newport

axe, for us going acoustic."

JULY

Yay for the band, yay for the European fans, boo hoo hoo for those of us in the States who can't keep seeing them all summer long.
Great news, Simon, thanks.

Yeah, I'm delighted that we're getting some more shows.
It's probably too much to hope that there'll be a presale or suchlike? Just wait for the NME to pick up on the story and the tix will be finding their way to ebay *sigh* |

Ticket getting is always a nightmare, I had to go through ebay for last years, and it cost a small fortune.

Where online are the tickets normally sold?
I missed the uk shows last year as I was away, I'd hate to miss them again as I've yet to see FB playing the Pixies. |

If I can get tickets...
Both!
Either!
I'm not that fussy!
If I make manchester fbc I believe you owe me a drink....
I hate the stressing over tickets stage of things, I get twitchy when I think about e bay last year (｣270 for three tickets...)

| not positive, but i think its about 3000 all standing (maybe more), could be wrong though. i wish they would book somewhere like earls court so everyone could see them and not have to scramble for tickets, surely they could fill a venue of that size? i was gutted last year when all the brixton shows and the forum show went so quickly. |

| hmm earls court is a bit big but i hear what yr saying - the outlets that handled the tickets last year were Stargreen & Ticketweb for Brixton & Forum as was able to pick up tickets for all the shows in London last year - might have to take a morning off work when they go off sale - on sale rather |

I do believe we arent doing any of the shows, the wife doesnt want to travel and she is reluctant to do so after reading unless it is birmingham. Time to get a new wife.
