How the hell am I going to get my hands on tickets for these shows !

Missed on other Olympia Shows like Arcade Fire and Faith No More even being on ticketmaster before the 9.00am start.:( never have luck.

But did get to see Bowie in the Olympia

I heard about this early last week. Am hoping I will be on a list to be a shoe in, fingers crossed cause it's gonna be very tough to get tickets.

She's always hot. And a great dancing partner once you get her going. Lisa, if you're reading this, marry me.

God love Whelans. The tragic thing is that I was so well-oiled that I had to be reminded about it by my friend the next morning. But if I hadn't been that jolly I never would have went up and started chatting to her in the first place. Catch 22.

Enough about my wife, as tame as she looks :pac:, Pixies Pixies Pixies.

If it's The Olympia I would doubt it. But of course I could be wrong.

Anyone know when tickets go on sale for this?

Damn, I don't get into work till 9.10, and tickets will be gone by then!!!

Kid V · 30-06-2009 05:04PM

HEY!!! Been trying to meet you... do do do do do mmmmmmm mmmmm mmmm

bacon? · 30-06-2009 05:47PM

right got fcuked over for fnm, and had to fork out 180euro...

round 2! bring it on.

dr.bollocko · 30-06-2009 05:51PM

A portion of the sales have to go through box office rather than through the net right? Presumably queueing outside a ticket vending office may be more successful than on the net? I never get tickets to the good shows in small venues online.

what time would you need to be there at? 5am?

does anyone know if sound cellar is doing deposits? and if so... do you need to be a regular? i was a regular... but that was about 15 years ago...

That's just it. I don't know. I mean I can't see a huge queue for this gig and they open the same time as the net does...

cpma282 · 30-06-2009 09:54PM

so what're the bets on where's best if you were to go get tickets....HMV/Soundcellar?

Catmologen · 30-06-2009 10:43PM

Doesnt say how many tickets per person as far as i can see.

thebossanova · 01-07-2009 05:33AM

*drool* someone hand me a towel! Definitely hitting the green on friday for this one!

whatduck · 01-07-2009 05:44AM

Grrr prolly won't be able to afford tickets, pity I'd love to see them again. It was annoying when they supported the Chilli Peppers I seemed to be surrounded by people who hated The Pixies.

honru · 01-07-2009 09:59AM

Hm... probably skip this. Since they've reformed, have they not been playing most of Doolittle to begin with? Playing all of Bosanova and/or Trompe le Monde... now that would have been something a little different.

I do love Doolittle and they're great live but I've seen Pixies enough times to warrant this a miss, especially if there's going to be little change in the set list from all the reunion shows.
