Who is going to go see The Police in concert?

Sign in to disble this ad
I am, they are coming to New Orleans at the end of June. The Police is one of the bands that I find cool but I was 5 when they split in the 80s. I consider this to be the chance of a lifetime

So who else is catching them live?

Yeah, me too. Had the bass out playing the line from "Peanuts" (Outlandos D'Amour) this weekend.

Anyone else seeing them? Definitely the chance of a lifetime.

I want to go. It's hard to get tickets. I don't want to pay a ton. I like the police but I'm not prepared to pay Rolling Stones prices for tix.

They are also gonna play here in Anaheim at the "Honda Center" I believe? Anyway, I'd also love to hear Sting make those old P-basses groovin' the place down.

Montreal, July 26th. Couldn't get tickets for the 25th, but they added a second show

They're definitely one of my top 3 rock bands of all time. Even though I'm just 23. I even like Bombs Away.

I'd really like to go but the ticket prices are off the chart.
Here in Dallas, mediocre seats are running $300-400. Good seats are running $700-2400!
I'd love to see them but with all the fees and parking it would have run me $1000 for a concert.
No thanks, I'll wait for the DVD.

That's because the Dallas shows are sold out. Thank you, scalpers! The top seats at the St. Louis show are running $200, although I have a feeling there aren't many of those left.
