    Sting might try some Yoga/Martial Arts shit, but Copeland seems like a brawler. It would be a good fight.

    reminds me of the now-famous interview ( i think it may have been for the BBC but i'm not positive ), What starts out as a joyful, laugh filled interview abruptly and suddenly turned violent when Stewart threw a glass of water in Stings face,.....

    Wasn't that backstage during the "Syncronicity" tour? I remember seeing it on MTV. Yes kids, MTV used to be about music. ;)

    Comcast controls ticket sales for Spectrum, Wachovia Center, some CBP events, as well as the Borgata and a few others venues in and around Philly. But the fees are basically the same :(

    Did you try the Silver package?? If you pick that, they offer field seats but in the rear part of seating (sect NN). Cost is only $90/ticket plus taxes though

    Little annoyed over the prices.
    They play Manchester UK in October and prices start £65 - £80 (approx double it for US $).

    I know the Stones charge the earth but that's stadiums, this is an indoor arena.
    I saw Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters and Audioslave at the same place for around £25.

    I desparately want to see them and yes have seen the arguement that if I want it bad enough I will find the money - and I probably will.

    Ticketmaster have a link to join the fanclub at a mere £53!

    Thank you 10c for not ripping us off!
    "oh when I was a kid, oh how magic it seemed"

    Manchester, England (June 04, 2000) £27.50
    Leeds, England (August 25, 2006) £40
    Manchester, England (August 17, 2009) £50 - I think
    Manchester, UK (June 20, 2012) £50 - I think
    American Express presents BST Hyde Park (July 08, 2022) £80
    Manchester, June 2024 - TBC £160!!!

    I'm going to try and get some tickets for their October show in Cardiff that goes on sale tomorrow morning.

    Top whack tickets are £85 but if you want to see anything decent then I think it's worth paying the price.

    Actually very similar.
    Boston Police prices are: $55, $95 and $225 (Fenway)
    Boston Genesis prices are: $57, $82, $127 and $227 (Garden)

    The Garden adds 2 bucks a ticket, so the high and low price are essentially equal, the difference is the middle where the Police have 1 price, $95 and Genesis has 2, $80 and $125.

    But I think that the Police demand will match the price structure...I don't think the same for Genesis...I sense a lot of seats on the secondary markets when brokers and amateur resellers overstimate the demand for Genesis, especially at those prices.
    This weekend we rock Portland
