Hey Nicole, So fun to put a face behind the name after this weekend. I've been trying to get through the 700 emails in between entering my codes for the past almost 3 hours and just got to this one. You're absolutely right. Guess i need your calming influence on me once again... I'm officially going to stop today. I need breakfast, oops, guess I need lunch too! This is insane. I'm going to give it one more try and then stop... I still have to post my essay, unpack, shower, come down to earth... michelle > I think everyone is getting too worked up thanks to all the hype. > > There are _always_ tickets available after a presale!

Re: [Police] Vancouver bestbuy code? (Rich ranting)
by Stingfan222＠aol.com 14 Feb '07

Me too. I wanted to see four shows, one ticket each. One good ticket each. I hate to waste my code on 4 seats for one show. Although that would enable me to offer the other 3 to other of US, 4 seats together ensure crappy seats. I'm officially giving up today.

Back from the dead
by Dan Eliot 14 Feb '07

Hello, I was on this list years ago, but sort of gave up hope that The Police would ever get back together, and so left. I've been a fan since 1983 and have never seen them live. Hopefully, that will change soon :-) Anyway, I recorded the press conference (audio only) and converted it to MP3 if anybody is interested. It's a 44 meg download, (128kbps).Feel free to share, but please do not put links to this file on websites. I'll leave it up for a few days. http://u2source.com/other/police/ It's a fairly clean recording, but the webcast did cut out a couple of times and the Roxy did have audio issues at a few points.

Worth a shot. They don't charge for that anymore, do they? I've been a member since I had to join to get the Christmas CD that had sting on it years ago, and think they've renewed me for free ever since then. I do think we are being offered better seats via the fan club than the best buy rewards though. (from what I was offered over the past two days) Nothing yet and I'm wasting so much time I should just pay a scalper.

Hey everyone- If you dont get tickets dont get too distressed. I used to work for a Record store and we sold tickets through TicketMonster. On the day of the show , tickets can still be released to the public after the stage is set up. I have done this quite a few times. ________________________________________________________________________ Check out the new AOL.

Bonnaroo

Is anyone planning on going to see them in Bonnaroo? My buddies and I have always talked about going to either that or Coachella. Since I teach in central IL. it makes it impossible to get out in early May from work, so it looks like it was Bonnaroo for us. I've already seen the White Stripes, but I've always wanted to see Wilco. It looks like having the Police there is going to be the impetus for me to really go. Just curious if anyone else was planning to go that route. If anyone has attended it before, I have just a couple of questions: Is it hard to fight your way to the front? I really want a good view for The Police and I'm willing to camp out that day through all the crap acts if necessary, but I don't want to miss a good show if it's possible. I know Oysterhead played there, so I figured someone on this list has been there. Is there anything you can suggest so my friends and I are prepared for this festival as best we can be?

Just got a single floor thrown at me but too far back for me, so there's hope. Better seats are coming up than the nosebleeds... (MSG) Michelle

MSG Tickets

Was anyone able to get the $255 tickets with the fan club presale? I got $255 seats with the Best Buy promo yesterday (8th row btw...) for 8/1, and was curious to know if the fan club had any $255 seats available to them. I tried to get 4 $255 tickets for 8/3, but ended up with 4 $95 tickets in section 330. --------------------------------- Need Mail bonding? Go to the Yahoo! Mail Q&A for great tips from Yahoo!

Toronto July 22nd

Hey guys! I did it!! My first concert -- lifelong ambition since 1983 when I was 14. A few tense moments when Ticketb****** would not recognize my code from the fan club. Upper bowl, but still good view I hope. This is surreal. Anne Dartmouth
