| I've seen Bowie everytime he's come through Winnipeg but this year I decided to spend my money on the Pixies. 70 bucks for Bowie tickets, Egads! |

| I just called Fine Line and they said that they don't know if they'll allow cameras into the show or not. I'll probably call them Monday or Tuesday before the show to see if they've made up their minds yet. |

Hope things work out for you and you get to see the show!!
Good luck!
Thanks Kimmyd! I think your words brought me luck :)
The good news... I just found out that a very generous...selfless...kind individual is hooking me up before the show. I would thank this person publicly, but I am not sure if that would be cool with them. The coolest thing about this person is that this benevolent benefactor did not jack up the price. Wow!
I feel extremely lucky, giddy and honored. It's truly a dream come true. I am still not over the adrenaline rush and probably won't be until after the show.
OK since my ticket search is over… I am willing to take over per Cult of Frank’s suggestion to re-start the tickets wanted/for sale list.
Let me know what you guys think but maybe we could have anyone interested in buying/selling tickets cut and paste the format.
If you want to buy tickets:
How many tickets Wanted:
How you became a Pixies Fan:
Why you want these tickets:
My guess it is easier for people selling tickets to contact those who they would like to sell to. That way the sellers don’t get bombarded with emails.
If you guys want I can post a list of the usernames each day that are still looking for tickets.
Since i posted pretty much everywhere on the internet... if i hear of any tickets that become available... i will tell those people to come here to sell them because it seems like there are a hellofa lot of people still looking...
Thanks and sorry for the looooong post.

Thanks for starting the list back up Daisy Girl. I only hope that some of your luck rubs off on the rest of us. With the show getting nearer it is inevetable that for one unfortunate reason or another a few will have to change plans and be unable to go, and I hope they are offered up on this forum.
I can't justify asking for more than one ticket, although two would be ideal.
I first became a Pixies fan at fifteen. A friend of mine introduced me to them with Surfer Rosa and Doolittle. Needless to say they soon became one of my favorite bands and still are. I wish that they were still together when I discovered them, and until now ever seeing them live was always just a fantasy.
I want tickets to this show for same reasons as the rest of us. To make huge profits on ebay of course , Just kidding. To see my favorite band in such a small venue, in my own town (preferably with my girl on my arm, also a rabid fan), and with other die hard fans is a once in a lifetime chance and a show I'd never forget. Roy Wilkins just won't be the same experience.
OK, enough cheese.
Thanks again Daisy Girl and good luck to the rest of you.

That's so awesome!!! I hope I brought you some good karma, but I'm pretty sure I had nothing to do with it. (Probably good karma of your own). Have a blast at the show!!! |

| I still need one ticket for a friend/associate. I have been a Pixies fan since 1986, when I "heard" a demo tape. I think I should get the ticket because my friend already knows what she'll be missing. [I'm still holding out hope that I am going to win the trivia contest, if it's still on.] |

Daisy, glad that you got hooked up.
For the record, if people are going to be doing some photographs, we're hoping to have our new photo section live by then so by all means post them here! Who knows, maybe one of the music news sites will use a photo and credit 'ya. :)

Gracias Cult of Frank … now it all about helping other fans see the show!
Here is this list of people who want tickets in the order they posted today. These names will remain on the list until they post they have received tickets.
NAME..................REQUEST POSTED ON..............…# Tix Needed
Distraught......................4/8..............................1 or 2
Passion of El Diablo...........4/8.............................1
For more info on these fans looking for tickets…please check out their posts.
If you are looking for tickets, please post the following info: How many tickets Wanted; How you became a Pixies Fan; Why you want these tickets on the board and I will add you to the list tomorrow night.
Also, since it’s impossible for me to track if you requested tickets before 4/8 that you are still looking…please repost again…. Sorry for the hassle but this way the tickets will go to people who still need them.
Let me know if you have any suggestions on this process…
Good luck! Hasta mañana

Speaking of Miracles; I had a couple friends that drove to Minnie a few years ago to see the Beastie Boys. The show had sold out but they decided to go anyway. Long story short, they met 2 of the boys and after hearing their story they signed 'em on the guest list.
Miracles do happen. Is it Karma? If I live long enough I got enough comin'. |

Yeah. That happened to me, kinda, when I went out to NYC (I live in SD) to see Cracker with the rest of Camper van Beethoven joining them for a few songs (this was the second show they did like that, before they officially reunited). It was at Irving Plaza. I got there and it was sold out. After a few minutes a guy came out, brought me to the window and slapped down two VIP passes. One for him, and one for me. I also had pretty damn good luck getting a ticket to this show as well. Though I know all of you folks with tickets will be there, I'd love to bring a friend (who I've met before ), who is also a hardcore fan. Could you put me down for one more on the list? Forum members first, of course. Thanks, and I hope my luck as well will rub off on y'all.

| I don't need a ticket or have one to sell, but I just wanted to congratulate Daisy Girl again. I was one of the late bidders on the ticket you were selling on ebay, and I felt horrible for you when I got the email from fine line saying that they cancelled the tickets. I'm very glad that someone was nice enough to hook you up and I hope to see you there. |

TICKET WANTERS/NEEDERS
As I have posted on other threads, I have one ticket to give away for Tuesday's Fine Line show in Minneapolis. To "win" this ticket, I have a fifty question Pixies trivia quiz (it's betting that scalpping, right?). The quiz will go out today and it must be returned by Sunday at midnight. I will make arrangement to get the ticket to any local person on Monday, otherwise we can meet at the venue the night of the show. As of right now, I only have three participants so your odds are very good if you know anything about the Pixies. Please email me your email address at pixiestrivia@hotmail.com and I will get the quiz sent out. Mac user might have to help me out as the quiz is in Micro word form.
DON'T EVEN HAVE THE NUTS TO TRY? That's ok, I'm sure you'll be busy posting on the forum that night instead.

I would let somebody to stay at my place for FREE as an exchange for a copy from the mpls concert... ADOPT A CHILD movement is for those who couldn't get tickets for the concert, neither a CD, but love the Pixies with all their hearts. So, someone who got tickets adopt one of us and buy us a CD as a way to extend the Pixies philosophy among all fans.
I should be senator in this country!!!

I should explain the deal better... and reat it because it's good!!!!
When you arrive to my place you give me $50 as deposit. I take you to the concert and pick you up once you call me to do so. You spend the night, then you get an awesome breakfast and have a cigarrete at the balcony. Then, we can listen to the CD, you give it to me and I return the deposit.
Doesn't sound perfect???

Instead of whinning to the board, why don't you try your hand at winning a ticket in my trivia contest? Email me at pixiestriva@hotmail.com and I'll get it sent out. Since you are such a big fan, I'm sure you'll have no problem winning.

Hi everyone!!!
Hope all is well with you...today i had a Pixies party and cleaned my apt. to all the cds and yes tapes back 2 back...haven't done that in awhile :)
Thanks Klikger, I am glad you didn't get those either. We had no clue and it would have been a bad scene if someone would have gotten that one... hopefully you will get yours for a lot cheaper!
Speaking of cheaper how 'about free? Yes, Gratis..thanks to The Realist you have an opportunity to win a free ticket. Very cool! What you need to do is email the realist at pixiestrivia@hotmail.com. The top scoring quiz taker will win a free ticket. Entries are due Sunday at midnight, so hurry up and get your quiz!!
Prozacrat, when did Camper Van get back together? That tells you what rock I'm living under. I saw Cracker, but never Camper Van. I love Lassie went to the moon.
You are so right fans should try checking out the Fine Line to see if any tickets go on sale I can't remember which Lollapalooza it was but the radio station announced the day of the show there were a bunch of extra tickets. It can't hurt to check it out and enjoy the atmosphere at this once in a life time show!
Here's the nightly posting of people needing tickets. Also, because of andrescolumbia's suggestion, adopt a fan buy them a live cd list. Since right now I am feeling like andrescolumbia has honorable intention and I am not as much as a skeptic as The Realist.
We will have a list of people who want to buy CD's. If you are a fan and are going to this show, please buy an extra cd to sell back to a forum member at face value. I will start the list now and we will work out the details after the show of who mails the cd to who. Does that sound cool? Post if you are looking for a cd, too.
Here is this list of people who want tickets in the order they posted since 4/8. These names will remain on the list until they post they have received tickets. Good luck and good karma to all!
Name………………………………..Date Request Posted………………# Tix Requested
Distraught………………………………….4/8………………………………………..1 or 2
Passion of El Diablo………………………4/8………………………………………..1
Makers 888…………………………….reposted 4/8…………………………………2
Chislic……………………………………….4/9……………………………………….1
For more info on these fans looking for tickets…please check out their posts.
If you are looking for tickets and want your name added to this list, PLEASE post the following info:
How many tickets Wanted; How you became a Pixies Fan; Why you want these tickets on the board and I will add you to the list tomorrow night. Chislic, can you please update your info? thx.
Also, since it’s impossible for me to track if you requested tickets before 4/8 that you are still looking….please repost again…. Sorry for the hassle but this way the tickets will go to people who still need them.
CD ADOPTION PROGRAM ADOPTEES (people who want cd’s):
Andres Columbia
CD ADOPTION PROGRAM ADOPTEES (people who will try to buy 1 cd for an adoptee and sell it at face value):
Daisy Girl
Also have a general question…if we can bring cameras can we bring video cameras too??? Or is that not allowed…I am just used to places not allowing any kind of cameras. This da shiznet!

I just talked to a Fine Line representative and he said that they will reach a decision about cameras/video cameras on Monday. He also said that there is a possibility that the aforementioned voided tickets may be resold. If I needed a ticket, I would probably try either Ticketmaster or calling Fine Line's ticketline at 651-989-5151 at 11am central on Monday. He stressed that it's only a possibility, but I assume that they will reissue the tickets at some point in time.
Good luck all. |

That would be cool if we were allowed to bring videocameras in, never heard of that though. You could sync the video up with the official audio bootleg for a killer video bootleg...

Update my info? No problem Daisy Grrrl. I only need 1 ticket. I became a Pixies fan around 1990. My friend constantly played the Pixies on our road trips. I fell in love. The greatest band to penetrate my ears. I'm from Minneapolis and it drives me nuts that I, like so many, never even had a chance to buy a ticket. I'VE GOT TO GO TO THIS SHOW! :) Not much time left to buy a ticket, but I still have hope.

It's awesome that Daisy Girl has taken this seriously and to find people so supportive with those who will not be able to be Pixing at the Fine Line. I just thought that it will be great to have a Pixies collegue at the venues's city and to get some help about where's the place, where to lunch, why not a ride to the venue... But I really appreciate those with funny comments because its the best spice to a forum like this.
MY PROPOSAL IS STILL OPEN and no ripping at all... come on... Adopt a Fan, and keep the Pixiolophy alive.
Again... thanx Daisy!!!! you're definitely GIGANTIC!
