maybe not the best thread title, but wasn't sure what to put. what i want to say though, is i was at eugene 27th show, and when i was walking into to the theater there were 2 different scalpers with 2-3 tix each, selling for face value. don't know if anyone got them, but there sure wasn't anyone fighting over them. maybe this will or won't happen for davis, not sure, but if you're in the some what near area, i'd make the trip and see if you can get lucky. just wanted to pass this on.

thanks and good luck

did you notice anyone at the show selling tickets? I didn't see anyone as I was going in. I wonder how many tickets get unused and how many fans don't get to see the show because of scalpers who hold onto their tickets too long.

I saw some and talked to someone that had bought one. I didn't ask how they paid.

i saw a few people buying. a pair for $100 about 2 hours before the show, then some solos for $40/each. so not really that bad of prices. still sucks it's over face, but not a total gouge.

There were so many scalpers at the Davis show that they were going for around $10 after the show started, and mnay went unsold. I guess everyone that wanted to go assumed the tix would be like $300 and didn't bother coming down.

OUCH!!
I paid $305.00 on ebay because they sold out so fast.
These idiots don't even know who the Pixies are, and they are dominating the tickets. It's bullshit!
I bought tickets for Davis from some Kook in Methuen Massachusetts. What the fuck!

Everybody, please don't support the scalpers. They are the ones fucking this whole ordeal for the true fans who want tickets.

I agree, but it ends up that true fans could have gotten tickets near or at face value at the show. It still sucks that the scalpers gobble up the tickets and then people (particularly ones that would have to travel) have to deal with the uncertainty of showing up to a show with no ticket.
