    What's the over/under on how long it will be before Sting and Stewart Copeland are at each other's throats?

    That’s why I'm glade to be seeing the first two shows of the tour here.....You never no when a melt down could arise.....but then again with the kind of bucks they are going to be making from this tour particularly with the stadium shows they would have to be right fucked off with one another to pass that up!!!

    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.
