Re:[Police] Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony Tickets

That stinks! If I had $10,000+ I would *definitely* donate it, and hawk what I could to buy the tickets. I remember buying the first Police album the year after it came out. I was eleven. I remember having the opportunity to actually see the guys and in my home town in 1983--ONLY to be dragged off to another state to a family reunion instead. I've NEVER forgiven my father's family. It's been 22 years since I've gotten together with them, as long as The Police have been apart. I thought I was over being mad, but not now. I'm happy for those who can go--but I'm still jealous. It's so unfair that so many of the real fans are left out of this very special time. I just had to say it, I'm really bummed.

So even if you give $10,000.00+ you still are not guaranteed tickets!

RE: [Police] NEWS - Police Members Plan To Play Together At Rock Hall Induction

I'll make a prediction: I suspect that Sting, Stew and Andy will like playing together again so much that there will be other dates after the induction. The fact that they're playing only three songs will wet their appetite enough that they will want to play more. Sting is actually looking forward to this -- he's never admitted to that before. And as Stewart said, it would be great if they got together a bit for the sheer fun of it. One can only wish... Fred

NEWS - Police Members Plan To Play Together At Rock Hall Induction
by foxie 08 Nov '02

this from www.launch.com (11/8/02, 12 p.m. ET) -- The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame hasn't announced which of the latest inductees will be performing at the March 10 ceremony in New York City. Of the five new members--AC/DC, the Clash, Elvis Costello & the Attractions, the Police, and the Righteous Brothers--only AC/DC and the Righteous Brothers are still active, while Costello still plays with two of the three Attractions, keyboardist Steve Nieve and drummer Pete Thomas. The Clash and the Police are no longer active as bands. However, members of the Police are planning to reunite, at least for that night. Drummer Stewart Copeland told LAUNCH. "I should think so. You know, what we lack to make us play as the Police again is a good reason. I can think of all kinds of good reasons--just for the fun of it primary amongst them, or to build a new hospital for somebody with the money raised, or, you know, I don't know...Fun would be a good enough reason for me. But I just don't think there's gonna be any Police performance of any kind, for any reason--unless it's something like this. There's no strings attached, nothing retro about it--well, I suppose it's retro, but it's sort of sanctified retro." Guitarist Andy Summers told LAUNCH, "I actually think it would be a great night, and think we'd all really enjoy it. And I guess we're gonna play three songs, like they do, and it's a good thing." For his part, singer-bassist Sting issued this statement, "I am very proud of the legacy of the Police. We were a damn good band and it still holds up. And it's an honor to be voted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame and to be recognized by one's peers. I've been to one of the induction ceremonies and it was great fun, (and) I'm really looking forward to the evening." __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

The ceremony is not open to the general public. Only folks related to the bands and the big wig entertainment industry people. (Last year, one of the Corrs was there, how does crap like that happen??!) Occasionally, tickets are auctioned for charity. Last year, a pair went for $6,000. You really, really need to be connected to attend. I'm sure some folks we know will manage to go, but the average fan.....highly unlikely. Maggie >>> Anne <jeffanne(a)ns.sympatico.ca> 11/07/02 04:58PM >>> OK -- this may be a silly question, but -- is it possible to attend the ceremony?? Or do you have to verrryyy... well connected in the music industry to get in to one of those things. Just think, the Police & the Clash & Elvis Costello & the Attractions. My dream come true. Anne

Monday, March 10, 3002 at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in NYC. VH1 will broadcast the event some time shortly thereafter. The MUSEUM is in Cleveland, and I "think" they tried to have the induction ceremony there a couple of times, but it was hard to get everyone from The City to trudge to Cleveland. And the museum really isn't connected to the Foundation which does the induction. Maggie >>> <Stingfan222(a)aol.com> 11/07/02 03:38PM >>> The Clash and the Police in one night? It doesn't get any better than that ... or I could bore you with my ideal musical evening! Why was my husband telling me it's in Cleveland? Does anyone have exact details on when and where this sacred event is going to take place? Any info would be greatly appreciated!!!
