The Police 30th Anniversary Tour..Pricey
 

$225, $90, $55

I just looked at the stub from my first concert ever, the police in 1983..

$12.50

yeah that seems expensive...

this is the retirement tour lol

Money well spent. :thumbsup

Don't bet on it...I remember when the Rolling Stones did their Steel Wheels Tour (which was jokingly referred to as the Steel Wheelchairs Tour), many assumed it would be their last, yet Mick keeps working stages all over the world well into his 60's (not bad considering he was in his prime during the decade of the 60's).

Police concerts are always a blast (I saw them four times, plus Sting solo several times) - the band does various arrangements of their songs, along with interesting medleys, plus Sting has the crowd singing throughout.

Pricey, but I'll be in the $$$ seats...and the cool thing is I expect to enjoy every minute of it, so it will be well worth the money spent.

Yeah,well they are really one of the kind,i think they cah charge that much.

no way i'm paying $225, which turns into $450 because i gotta buy my girl a ticket too...maybe $90...hopefully its like a U2 deal where the whole the whole floor is $55..doubtful though

Worth every cent, my fellow captain !!

shit, i got van halen to worry about too! oh well, its better than 2006, last year was horrid for concerts

I just checked the Police web site and you can get advance (pre-public sales) tickets - but first you have to join a Membership to their site for which they want $100 for a year (then it auto-renews "for your convenience").

Damn!!!

Also, I just checked my ticket stubs, and the cost in 1979 was $8.50, in 1982 $10.50, and in 1983 it was $17.50 - I also saw them play at the US Festival, but that was a 3-day show, which cost $37.50 to see bands including:

I didn't go to the 1983 US Festival but a friend of mine had a copy of it on VHS (the 2nd day with the metal bands) and we must have watched it every day for months straight. Ozzy Osbourne coming out in that kick ass witch doctor outfit is a very happy memory of my youth. Damn, time to start searching youtube to see if I can find it :thumbsup

Dang that is high I still cant believe they are hitting Seattle.

I am getting tickets thru the Best Buy rewards program. Only problem is they are not coming within 3 hours of where I live so I have to add travel expenses as well as ticket prices. Oh well, I'll be there with a smile on my face.
