To make things clear, the pinkop festival has two days of festival that are not important and one that is (monday). This is just the tradition. Monday is the headlining day, you can only but a dayticket (55 euro=60 dollar) for that one. There are 3 days tickets (95 euro=100 dollar) and you need such a ticket to see the pixies on sunday. This sucks ass. The other bands are not that cool, I'm not going to pay 100 dollar when I only want to see the pixies.

It's pretty crappy... I agree paying 95 euros to see The Pixies is too much for me as well. It doesn't look too promising for the Benelux. At the other festival they're playing (Rock Werchter first weekend of July) they are playing on the Sunday, before Placebo and David Bowie. This means they will only play for about an hour...
Is this Pinkpop very likely to be sold out? I don't know my time table yet, otherwise I would book it right away. Other bands suck, but I don't care. Now there is only one band I really have to see, rest of the time I can concentrate on what festivals are really for.
