http://www.entertainmentwise.com/news?id=27506 The Police Offered Â£150 Million For New Tour? And consider new material... By: Chris Taylor on 2/3/2007 Newly reformed reggae-rockers The Police are apparently considering accepting a massive Â£150 million to tour America and Europe. The three-piece fronted by Sting have reportedly been offered the sum by Rolling Stones tour promoter Michael Cohl. Not only that, but the band - who recently announced they will play together again for the first time in decades at this month's Grammy Awards - are also said to be considering writing new material to go with a new Greatest Hits album.

You guys should all check www.stewartcopeland.net for a new picture of the police rehearsal set up in Vancouver! I think they must have stopped rehearsing now - there was some chatter on the net that they were only there for one week - so lets wait and see what happens on Feb 11th..

A tour is almost unbelievably exciting..my friends are calling and speculating about setlists etc. While I am excited I would predict a Synchronicity tour era set list. And I have to say that I will still absoloutely be pumped to see them, but for you collectors out there ..I find listening to the different Synchronicity era concerts my least favorite. They are all almost the same show and just not as exciting as any of the earlier tours. My favorite tour era has to be the Zenyatta era although I didnt see them then..ugh. But the shows from that era sound great in my opnion. What do you all think? And dont get me wrong..I am super pumped up to see a Police reunion and feeling the stress myself...how many shows, travel, money etc. etc. David ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Fri, 2 Feb 2007 12:34:15 EST From: Stingfan222(a)aol.com Subject: Re: [Police] Reunion setlist To: casimar(a)yahoo.com, police(a)mailman.xmission.com Message-ID: <c71.bf120a4.32f4d017(a)aol.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Ah, an English major!

funding my tickets
by mark george 04 Feb '07

04 Feb '07

There has been some speculation that face value ticket prices will be on the high side; I tend to agree. I do think trying to swap tickets between members of this group, if extras are obtained, is a good plan. If you think we are excited at the prospect of this tour, just imagine all the drooling scalpers with high speed internet. I'm selling of bunch of live concert CDs, CD singles, exclusives, promos, radio shows etc. Mostly Sting with some Police. Including the Art of the Heart Box set.
