Pixies fans rejoice! U.S. concerts immediately available for sale at the end of the concert!!

http://story.news.yahoo.c..._pixies_dc

NEW YORK (Billboard) - The Pixies will make every show from their upcoming
15-date North American tour available for sale immediately after the
performance.

The group will be touring with a recording truck from DiscLive that will
press a limited run of 1,000 CDs per show (2,000 for the May 1 performance
at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, Calif.). The
double-CD sets will sell for $25 at the venue or $22 if they're pre-ordered
through DiscLive's Web site ( http://www.disclive.com ).

At each venue, fans will be able to purchase a voucher prior to the concert.
About 10-15 minutes following its conclusion, they will trade the voucher
for the CD, including artwork specific to that performance. Any unsold CDs
will be available from the Disc Live site; CDs can also be mailed to the
buyer. There is a two CD limit per customer.

DiscLive has made 500 CDs from each show available for pre-order online. If
all 500 copies are pre-ordered before a given show, only 500 additional
copies will be sold at the venue. According to a spokesperson, the discs
will not be re-pressed once all copies have been sold.

The Pixies' first tour since 1992 will kick off April 13 in Minneapolis.
Following the Coachella performance, the group heads to Europe for a host of
headlining and festival appearances. A full-scale North American tour is in
the planning stages for the fall.


DiscLive has previously offered post-show CDs from such acts as the Doors Of
The 21st Century, Billy Idol (news), Jefferson Starship, the Newsboys and
Antibalas.

Which is basically what's happening with tickets too. It's downright annoying.
