I think selling the tix this far in advance makes it easier for the brokers/scalpers to sell their tix. If the artist truly wanted to circumvent the brokers/scalpers, they would devise it so that the person who actually ordered the tickets would have to show their credit card in order to pick up the tix on the day of the show. on 11/18/03 5:46 PM, Maggie White at mwhite(a)gw.smbsd.k12.ca.us wrote: > I am QUITE happy with my fanclub fee!!

eBay II
by Maggie White 18 Nov '03

18 Nov '03

There are now 114 listings for Sting tickets on eBay. Go brokers! There are some prices in the $900 range. Boston front row has an asking price (no bids yet) of $1,300. Los Angles, third row pit, are $1,200, from a BROKER! Those had to come through the pre-sale. There are a few single great seats at not too much above face value for anyone who got shut out and is desperate. There are also some at ridiculous prices! Maggie

I agree, but if you compare him to other big names, he's pretty much right in line with their prices. I guess if they saw us revolting, the prices would come down but we keep shelling out the $$$. Unfortunately, I'm addicted and those shows are my drug. Anyone starting a Sting-addiction clinic to set me free?

Hi, Anyone planning on taping any of the shows? I may tape Chicago depending on if I hit the lotto before it sells out. If anyone out there is able to get a clean recording, please contact me off list. Thank you, Ken

Although the idea is nice, I'll pass on that one! You should too, Rich after being in New England when that hair band went on fire in Rhode Island! Pyrotechnics scare the heck out of me now!

I got Dallas and San Antonio and they were below the $100 price. Guess it all depends on the venue. Dallas was only 60 something, but I also didn't get the good seats, they were already gone.

While its true you can get the next level up (mezzainine) for $90 per ticket but these seem pricey. This was for the 3 nites at beacon and may be par for the course but certainly tempered my enthusiasm for getting tickets - though I'll still go of course. What are you guys seeing as I didnt check a lot of the gigs. >>

Ticket requests from Deb and Jer
by Jeremy (cheeky) 18 Nov '03

18 Nov '03

Hi Folks, The Debs and I found ourselves at 34,000 feet when the tickets went on sale and thus were unable to get anything other than front row for New Orleans. As many of you are friends, and as many of you buy in pairs, Deb and I are looking for good seats for the Miami and Tampa shows. If we can get one or two from any of you who have extras either singles or pairs, we would love to do so. Jeremy

sacred love ticket prices
by michel 18 Nov '03

Remember when I was complaining about the prices of the tickets at the show in Paris at the Olympia ... people were mocking me ... and said it is a very special occasion , one of the first show of the tour especially for fans .... ( hard to get money at the time because I am unemployed ...) ... It seems that every show seem to be ' SPECIAL OCCASIONS '. Look at the prices for Stewart and Andy's shows ... very accessible ;;but some will say hey guy this is Sting... well what are sponsors made for ???? Ciao Michel
