Edmonton seating pics - Anyone have a link?
by Maggie White 07 Jun '07

07 Jun '07

I'm looking for pics that will show how the seats are set up near the stage in Edmonton. I'll be at Oakland next week (the second outdoor venue) and I'd like to know how close or far my left side tickets are based on what Edmonton looked like. I can't even find a seating chart for Edmonton. Has anyone come across anything? M --------------------------------- Be a better Globetrotter. Get better travel answers from someone who knows. Yahoo!

Hey Mario! Well, you know the story in Vancouver.... Seems like as long as you don't have a pro camera, you're OK with Police camp. It's just how much each venue enforces it. Truthfully, I get crap pictures in there, but that's OK, I want at least of few from each show just so I know I took them and it's my memory... Did you like Fiction Plane? They're doing Jimmy Kimmel and also a little mini concert before it. I think the details are on their myspace site if you want to check it out, I think you sid you were from LA.... michelle in tx In a message dated 6/7/07 10:52:42 AM, marspala(a)yahoo.com writes: > Hey gang > What is the story with taking cameras into the POlice concerts so far?? > > Mario > > > > > > It's alright > cause there's beauty in the breakdown > Looking for a deal?

The Police: Unplugged in Miami July 13?!
by Marisa M 06 Jun '07

06 Jun '07

According to one of the Chicago-area radio stations, The Police have signed up to tape an episode of MTV Unplugged! Rumor has it that the show will take place in Miami on July 13. I have no idea how or when these things are announced or how to get tickets, but that's what I have heard. I'm already envious of everyone who gets to go! :-) - Marisa http://www.stingetc.com --------------------------------- Ready for the edge of your seat? Check out tonight's top picks on Yahoo! TV.

Perhaps it was different in Edmonton, but I disagree with respect to Every Little Thing. I thought the chorus in particular worked really well: it sounded to me more like the song might have on Zenyatta Mondatta, and was superior to the version they (tried to!) play in Vancouver in 1983, in my opinion. Walking on the Moon was great, and I loved the middle section. Wrapped Around Your Finger struck me that the verse is a great melody and the chorus is weak, never mind the performance (which I agree was good). Chris

RE: [Police] MSG sale today

There are still front row tickets available... at the back of the stage! Andrea and I got Section 69, on Andy's side, slightly to the back of the stage. Having seen the setup of the stage in Vancouver, I think those seats might be pretty good. We're already spending $250 a pop on a couple of shows, and quite frankly, the relative value of those seats is not worth it. The cutoff between the $250 and the $95 seats doesn't make any sense. This will also be my nephews' first Police show. What I wouldn't give to be 13 and go to my first Police show! I was 32 when I first saw them... and that was a week ago!!! See you in October Bruce! P.S. I wonder how many people will dress up as cops or bees that night? _____ From: police-bounces+fredberthelot=earthlink.net(a)mailman.xmission.com [mailto:police-bounces+fredberthelot=earthlink.net@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Bruce Greenwood Sent: Monday, June 04, 2007 4:49 PM To: 'Police Mailing List' Subject: [Police] MSG sale today Anyone else try for tickets today for MSG in New York on October 31st? Man, they were tough to get! Chris Orange (on this list) was helping me today (thanks Chris). We were both on-line at the same time, seeing who would come up with the best seats. The "waiting time" on Ticketmaster kept increasing, not decreasing, and multiple times the system came back to us both and said no tickets were available so we started our searches again. Chris was offered tickets in the 3rd and 4th levels while I kept coming up with nothing....and finally I got offered tickets way back on the floor and I took them. I may have to trade up closer to the time, but at least I'm in!! Phew.
