I think you can do pretty well by waiting and cashing in on buyer's remorse. :-)

Police drummer rips band's "lame" concert
By Dean GoodmanFri Jun 1, 3:56 AM ET
The singer in the Police jumps like a "petulant pansy," the drummer is making a "complete hash," and who knows what the guitarist is doing?
Notes from a bitter critic? Actually, it's a disarmingly frank concert review from the aforementioned drummer of the newly reunited rock trio.
A philosophical Stewart Copeland unleashed his vitriol in a posting on his Web site on Thursday, a day after the band played its second show in Vancouver, the Canadian city where it began its first world tour in more than 20 years on Monday.
"This is unbelievably lame," Copeland wrote of Wednesday's show at the GM Place arena. "We are the mighty Police and we are totally at sea."
Most of the 20,000 fans at the venue might not have noticed a series of small flubs, but Copeland, singer/bassist Sting, and guitarist were painfully aware of them.
Copeland started the show off on the wrong foot, literally. He tripped as he took to the stage, and then banged his gong at the wrong time so that "the big pompous opening to the show is a damp squib."
He did not hear Summers' opening riff to "Message In a Bottle," and Sting in turn misheard Copeland's drum intro -- "so we are half a bar out of sync with each other. Andy is in Idaho."
They quickly recovered, but then Sting got his footwork wrong as he leapt into the air to signal the end to a shambolic version of their rat-race rant "Synchronicity II."
"The mighty Sting momentarily looks like a petulant pansy instead of the god of rock," Copeland reported.
"And so it goes, for song after song," he wrote, with tunes such as "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic" and "Don't Stand So Close To Me" reduced to ruin.
"It usually takes about four or five shows in a tour before you get to the disaster gig. But we're The Police so we are a little ahead of schedule," he said.
Fortunately, no fists flew backstage as they did back in the Police's heyday. The threesome fell into each other's arms laughing hysterically, Copeland said.
"Screw it, it's only music. What are you gonna do? But maybe it's time to get out of Vancouver."
The band's next show is set for Saturday in Edmonton.

I mean, it would be over $500 for my husband and I and what do we get???
If it was a package with dinner for two, a hotel room and tickets to the show.... maybe... but then again, it would have to be a better band that the Police.
but i wouldnt pay $35 to see the police rip off 20,000 people. what a joke.
whether or not you want to believe it, PJ prices will easily be in the $100-200US range by the time the majority of its fan base hits 35...if we're fortunate enough to still have them around. theyre getting close all ready.
"In your case, I'll check my brain at the door and we'll start even, okay?"
Have you thanked a taper today?
were they even good seats?
exactly....why is this so hard to understand.....
I would be willing to guess the majority of their fanbase is already pretty close to 35. Somehow I don't believe this band will ever price their tickets like that. Suprisingly enough the Dylan tickets I looked at were only priced at $80 for the best seats. He could definitely get more than that.
Finally got that "One for the Thumb"!!! Got the "Six Pack". Now we're on a "Stairway to Seven"
Some words when spoken...can't be taken back.

nooooooo, not the Pearl Jam. they would never,ever think of charging
their faithful fans that much just to come see them play.
wait for it.
and he usually does, I don't know what concert your speaking of, but his better tickets are usually in the same range as the aformentioned Police tickets
and as for the Police, they also had tickets at the 50$ and 90$ levels. Even 250$ is not that outrageous for the best seats of a band of their statute who haven't toured in 20 years. I was happy as hell to fork over 90$ for mid-level seats, and if you think its ridiculous, don't fucking but them, Jeez. you people just love to hear yourself bitch about self righteous bullshit.
When you see me on the street, yell out "FAVO!!!"
I've been to alot of Pearl Jam shows;So fucking what.
ranging from 50 dollars , to 100 dollars, to 225 , up to 350 .
these guys are obviously making up for lost time, and capitalizing on the fans and casual album- buyers.
then they keep adding shows to this tour, which seems like it will never end.
For instance : 2 shows at MSG in August , then another round in October. go figure .
tickets are still available for AC also.

Dylan has charged $250 for 1 ticket before? I don't think so!
fuck yeah!!!!
all tickets , 1 price .
very first row, or very last row . purely luck of the draw,....
oh and dont think abouyt scalping, you need to present ID and credit card used for purchase- then you are either: 1 ) given a non- removable bracelet for you and your friend that must stay intact to enter , or 2 ) you are immediately shuffled into the venue to attend the show.

Last time broooce and the Estreet showed up he charged me $125 for a GA floor ticket(list price)
He is far from being a saint. IMHO
Agreed!
I've seen Dylan countless times and never has it ever come close to the $200 mark...even in a small club that holds 800 people!!!

for the rising ? ( * NOT The Seeger Sessions Band )
all ticks were 75 bucks from what i remember , could be wrong tho .
GA always has a seperate set of rules - i wouldnt go down there on the floor unless i was very close and i was assured a seat . leave to take a piss and you lose your spot ? F that,...
i know for Devils and Dust, there was no " GA " but seating all the way up to the stage.

To show my age I will tell everyone that I saw them back in 85 when REM opened for them in Hartford, I think. It was amazing.
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

of your boobies. You know, the ones you flashed for Sting back in '85.
