    Dude. Don't EVEN tease me like that.

    I noticed that as well. Let's hope so. Maybe they just haven't finalized the details of the Houston show yet? I mean, how can you leave out the 4th largest city in the country, yet include cities like Tampa, Columbus, Hartford, and San Jose? :mad:

    Plus, I heard it would be 24 US cities and I only see about 16 on emjohn's list. Not doubting emjohn, but just saying perhaps the list is incomplete. Let's hope so.

    They're playing Can't Stand Losing You. Andy forgets the key and Sting is reading the lyrics. Sting is calling out the key changes! :D

    $100 membership gets you in for presales (not guaranteed for all dates).

    If there was one I was missing, I'm glad it's that one (you too, Philly, I guess...). Happy to see what I was told was accurate - no one likes to be the board BS'er.

    ima, you can take a deeeeep breath now! :D

    I'm happy for you. I will probably skip it, but I am happy for you. There is nothing like getting another opportunity to see one of your musical heroes. I live for that kind of stuff. :cool:

    Also:
    Best Buy Rewards presales are for only a select number of tickets
    The Police fanclub (thepolicetour.com) will have the majority of tickets available for sale.
    So, Best Buy goes first, but the tickets have already been allocated, so there's no danger of getting shut out.
    4 ticket max on presales, passwords are unique (one-use only).

    so i'm guessing the Houston date won't go on sale for quite a while, right?? since there's no date assigned as of yet.

    Unfortunately, she now has a new executive gig. Damn! Now, I have no idea. I'll try something else. :)

    Can you explain the highlighted part? I'm already hitting up my friend who has a Best Buy Rewards card. Do BB folks get first shot? Before fanclub and general public?

    Hyperbole indeed! I'd still love to see them. I saw the Police in Houston a long, long time ago. Excellent! :cool:


    No date in Austin?? Bummer! I've got a BB Rewards thingy. Anyone know what I've got to do?

    (some research, dummy)

    Sort of. Best Buy has a certain number of tickets (not a very large percentage) for the shows that it will be distributing via ticketmaster. The specific tickets are already defined. Same thing with the Police Fanclub, only they have close to half the tickets for each show. Point being - no show will be sold out because of either pre-sale. People can't go nuts on the BB presale and cut into what's available for the fanclub presale or the general public sale. However, the general onsale will only have something around a third to a quarter of the tickets for any given show.

    Each presale has some tickets of each kind. Best Buy doesn't have all of the "premium" seats. Nor does the fanclub.

    Keep in mind, a percentage of the seats will also belong to the individual venues for their corporate sponsors and some for the band's friends and family and some to Clear Channel (Live Nation). Typical business in the industry.
