MarcO Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Q107 said The Police @ ACC, Toronto July 22.also, Vancouver, Montreal and one other Canadian city I missed.also, this:Exclusive: The Police Visiting Bonnaroo, Fenway On Reunion TourThe Police performing during the opening of the 49th Grammy Awards.February 12, 2007, 9:00 AM ETRay Waddell, Nashville and Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.In what is destined to be an historic run, the Police will embark on their first tour in 23 years, beginning May 28 at the GM Arena in Vancouver, Billboard.com can exclusively reveal. As part of a tour that will play arenas and stadiums internationally through the end of the year, the band will also headline the June 16 date of the Bonnaroo festival in Manchester, Tenn.As expected, the tour will be produced worldwide by the Next Adventure in association with RZO Entertainment, under the direction of Arthur Fogel, president of TNA and chairman of global music for TNA parent Live Nation. Further details of the tour will be announced today (Feb. 12) during a press conference at the Whisky a Go Go in West Hollywood, Calif.The announcement comes in the wake of the Police's dynamic performance of "Roxanne" last night to open the Grammy Awards on CBS. "Ladies and gentlemen, we are the Police and we're back," Sting shouted as the group kicked into the song.Talk of a Police 30th anniversary tour has been rampant in the previous weeks. Sources close to the tour exclusively tell Billboard.com that the plan is for the Police to tour North America through the first week of August, then play the U.K. and Europe, returning to North America in late October.The rest of the world will follow, including Mexico, South America, Japan and possibly Australia and New Zealand through the end of the year. About 80 shows are currently on the books, including 24 cities in North America. There also is the possibility that the Police will play several stadiums both in the U.S. and abroad, but as of now Fenway Park in Boston is the only confirmed stadium date. No festivals other than Bonnaroo are currently planned.Best Buy is the North American sponsor of the tour. Tickets will be scaled primarily at $225, $90 and $50. Tickets for Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal will go on sale Feb. 17. Other markets, including Boston and New York, will go on sale Feb. 20. Ticketmaster will orchestrate a pre-sale through a newly created Police tour website a few days prior to the general public onsales. It is highly likely that the Police will be the top-grossing tour of 2007.Sting, guitarist Andy Summers and drummer Stewart Copeland split in 1984 following the release of their most successful album, "Synchronicity," although they regrouped for a handful of concerts in 1986 before breaking up for good.The Police's lone public performance prior to the Grammys was at the band's 2003 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The group also played an impromptu set at Sting's 1992 wedding to Trudie Styler.

MarcO Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 thanks - I enjoyed watching this again! Sting and Copeland look so happy!I think Sting was in great voice. Who would have thought they'd loosely jam for a couple of minutes in the middle?I was also really happy it was just the three of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave-O Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Did anyone get the Best Buy presales codes for Van, Mtl and Tor that were apparently sent out earlier this morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 what presale code?They have a $100 membership fee to get presales. I wonder if that means PREMIUM tix as well? I hate that I'm probably going to have to get the membership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 OMG. this is sick. I have a feeling that I won't be seeing the Police with prices like these. Tickets for the North American leg of The Police tour will be scaled at $225.00, $90.00 and $50.00 in most markets (plus applicable service fees) and will go on sale to the public beginning this Saturday, February 17th in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. Tickets in Boston and New York City will go on sale Tuesday, February 20th. Additional on sale dates to be announced. There will be a 4 ticket limit per person for all arena shows and a 6 ticket limit per person for the stadium events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 you wouldn't pay $50 to see the Police? Don't you love them or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 I wouldn't pay $50 for the shitty tickets that would get me. I actually want to SEE them. $50 to say I was there just doesn't cut it. I'd go for the premium tickets, but damn, this is not good timing financially.

MarcO Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 I too hate the trend towards screwing ticket buyers, but within that context, I'll pay about $100 for this show. Think about it Bouche, for $100 you can go see The Police and wear your The Police t-shirt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave-O Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 (edited) what presale code?For clarity's sake, if you were a subscriber to the Best Buy e-newsletter you would have received pre-sale codes to purchase 2 tickets for Van, Mtl, Tor earlier today. The Best Buy pre-sale starts tomorrow (Wed).If you sign up for the Police fan club for $100US, you can buy 4 pre-sale tickets starting Thursday.General public on sale is Saturday.My question is this - is it worth the extra $25 per ticket to guarantee you get a seat? My follow-up is - is there a 'guarantee' you get to purchase pre-sale tickets to the show you want with a fan club membership? Or could the number of fan club members exceed the pre-sale allotment?
