    I know. I thought it would be a setlist - at least 20 songs but anyway.

    I chose Bring on the Night, Walking on the Moon, Low Life, One World & Driven to Tears.

    90 Euros for a field ticket in Amsterdam. To me, the Police can screw themselves...

    The more I hear about these Ripoff Reunion tours (so Phil Collins can pay alimony on his 3 ex-wives or Sting could build a statue of himself) the more thankful I am for the 10 Club!

    Imagine paying $100 for the Police Fan Club and paying $250 per ticket (after fees) to get seats at best 30 rows from the stage! Plus they are doing nothing to stop the scalpers. Lot of excuses from their fan clubs that "they can't stop the scalpers". PJ had the obvious solution. Distribute the tickets AT THE VENUE! No more scalpers!! For $250 a ticket I think they could go the extra mile to hire people to distribute tix at the show!

    WE ARE ALL VERY SPOILED HERE :) ! Glad my favorite band takes care of its own!

    sorry to break it to you, but SPRINGSTEEN has been doing this , far longer then Pearl Jam . I should also point out,. that no matter wqhere your seats are for a BRUCE show, all prices are the same .
    You go to the venue , you need a photo ID as well as tyhe credit card used for the ticket purchase , then you are either shuffled right into the show ( so theres no going outside , scalping, ect ) OR they give you a bracelet with your tickets when you pick them up, and this bracelet needs to be in tact later on that night to be admitted.

    Springsteen is THE MAN! I had the pleasure of seeing him play FENWAY and GILLETTE stadium the same year!

    ...AMAZING!

    And all seats are the same price...just like DMB!

    I like how you included Genesis in your ripoff reunion list but didn't mention that their fan club is only $35 and you have the opportunity to buy 4 tickets during a fan club only presale, where you can split the 4 tickets any way you want (4 singles for 4 shows, a pair to 2 shows, 4 for 1 show, etc). And as has been mentioned Springsteen has the best way to curtail scalpers, all tickets will call with bracelets or immediate entrance into the show. That basically kills all chances of ticket scalping.
    This is your notice that there is a problem with your signature. Please remove it.

    And also, all tickets , no matter how proximal or not to the stage , are the same price.
