I think people already have tix to see them at Sweetlife.

I assumed the Pixies would sell out instantly.

Jez me too...
$55 is kinda steep

Isn't that mainly the 25 and under crowd? I can't imagine much of their original fan base attending Sweetlife?

^ ticket rules kept the scalpers away

they really should do more shows like this
They could charge $5 more per ticket to cover the headache and I'd be fine with that

I am pretty sure with Pixies and Billy Idol being headliners on the same day, that they were trying to attract older fans.

TBH, I didn't even look at the line up... but I guess that makes sense.

$55 is cheap... people were paying more to see them at Strathmore.

I don't argue that it's not a awesome value...for me at this particular time...it's a really tough sell

But I'm not sure why Pixies fans, except the most hardcore ones, would pay 200$+ to see them at a festival, or where there cheaper day tickets?

Single day tickets

Why? Because they did not know that there would be another area show.

That makes sense. Last time I checked there was no day ticket.

it's not cheap...the new songs blow  :(

however, they'll probably do IN HEAVEN with Frank on vocals (never seen that)
