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.

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

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

Sacred Love tour ticket prices / I give up.
by bjacob＠pop-server.nyc.rr.com 18 Nov '03

Good GOD, those prices are obnoxious. Glad to see the corporate sponsorship is easing the financial burden. $160??!? C'mon, now. I've been a Sting devotee for years but that's just... ...ugh. Sorry to complain, but it's hard not to in cases like these. Trini replied to my earlier post about Sting "selling out" again with: "Sting is a capitalist and good for him, he deserves all the money he gets!" But does that mean that we as fans need to get screwed in the process? I had great seats for a Soul Cages tour arena show that I paid around $25 for. TST tour was even better and not much more expensive. These were some of the best performances I'd ever seen, and they certainly didn't have a huge amount of corporate sponsorship. How did things change THAT dramatically since then? One hundred and sixty dollars for ONE ticket. PLUS "convenience charges". I never thought I'd say this - especially after splurging for three expensive shows on the last tour, but I'm going to give this tour a miss. I'm heartbroken about it, but there are much better things I could do with the money. I've given Sting more than enough over the years. This is beyond ridiculous and I don't want to be taken advantage of any further. I love the music, why should I have to pay through the nose in order to enjoy it?

Sting pic in Rolling Stone mag
by David Lucky 18 Nov '03

DO you all catch the Sting picture in Rolling stone (the issue with The Strokes on the cover). In the random pics section there is a picture of Sting in full Chicago Cubs basball uniform - baseball hat and shirt. Its pretty funny - of course he looks cool still. It was a publicity thing I guess from when he was out there for the grant park concert. (The cubs were in the playoffs at the time.) D

Brian, I too have to agree with you. I love Sting and have seen him many many times, however I cannot justify almost 200 bucks for one ticket! (you figure,the ticket, the extra charges, parking, a couple drinks, a little Sting token). Then tack that on top of the cost of the fan club membership to obtain the freaken password. PLUS its at the Tower Theatre here in Philly. And let me tell you the sound is great there but its a dump. Not only that but you know we will all be aggrevated by that time in the tour because the set list will be the same night after night. I hate to say it and it breaks my heart to say it but no thanks, I'll wait for my $14.99 DVD of the concert. Heather

I was checking out tickets to the Sting shows and I was a bit surprised of the prices - at least for the show I checked out. $160per tix for all lower level seats (plus convenience and ship charges). 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.

Tracks magazine

Tracks magazine's inaugural issue has Sting on the cover this month. Its different seeing Sting on a cover with the gote' thing and gary hair a bit. I know hes had that going for a while so no real surprise.
