Trade for DVD-Rs
by werner.burkhart＠web.de 27 Aug '03

27 Aug '03

Hello, I am looking to trade for the following DVD-Rs (or also DVD+Rs): - The Hall Of Fame show 2003 (from VH-1 screening, as done by one of the list members here) - Sting live at the Hollywood Bowl for his 40th birthday (transferred from laser disc release) - Live Ghost In The Machine (from deleted Japanese DVD release) - The Police live in New Jersey 1986 (this has been offered a few years ago on a newsgroup when someone did a DVD-R from his own VHS master tape recording made off tv in 1986) I can trade for Police & Sting Bootleg CDs (trade ratio CD-R:DVD-R -> 4:1) or for B&P. I have no DVD burner yet so I can't trade directly DVD-R for DVD-R. Please reply off list. Thanks, Werner

True, they don't have to go into great detail, but they could at least be more careful how they word such responses. I mean, the wording suggests (though I'm certain it wasn't intended) that the person believes the concert to be of little value, when obviously they would hold the concert experience highly. It suggests that someone wants to use money as a determination of worth, when want or worth has nothing to do with it.

i can understand that, but they aren't running a charity. it's not up to them to hear how difficult it is for everyone to figure out how to afford tix, travel, babysitters, parking etc. bottom line is, if you really want to go, you cut back on other things and find a way. and if you can't, i guess there's always the dvd. on 8/27/03 5:31 PM, Michel Alvino at cillae(a)wanadoo.fr wrote: > Perhaps you're right ... but I was angry about the answer ....

I wouldn't pay $25 to see McCartney. Sting's stature is considerable, but some things are just ridiculous. I do have to say that I think that answer from the club was a bit curt sounding, and not a little patronizing. But oh, well, we can't all be in the click.

Fan club and e-bay

Hello list, This whole deal with the ebay auction sucks. No bids have been placed on any of them when I checked. I guess the show hasn't sold out. What about those of us who paid a subscription to outlandos? What will happen to that? Anyway maybe we can use our premier memberships to ask Sting this question..."Where do you get off screwing the fans" :) Ed

Re: [Police] Tickets on eBay
by Stingfan222＠aol.com 27 Aug '03

Maybe I'm naive, but I'd like to think that they're going to get way more for those tickets than that and it'll be a charity thing... I haven't gone to ebay yet to see what it says, but that's my hope. At least they started the bidding at face value--- can you imagine if they started lower and we had seen that!!! Although I'm thrilled that there's that HOPE of getting good tickets to the shows for being a club member, I won't believe it til I see it! Those horrible feelings of The Brand New Day tour are coming back to me when I see those outrageous additional fees that are being charged once again. This time I can't blame ticketbastard for my woes (if I don't get a decent seat). Don't mind paying the fees if I get what I want! Is this show in Chicago a ticketed event? Does anyone know if list members will have early ticketing access to all shows throughout the Send Your Love tour? Are we allotted the best tickets, or just tickets---does ticketbastard, etc., get their share first then we have certain amount allotted for us? That's when I'll start regretting that deluxe membership. Ugh. I hate this feeling!

In addition, you also get a premium membership in the fan club ($65 value if you didn't have the promo number to get $30 off). So, for $160, I could get what I've already paid $150 (tickets) + $35 (the membership) for!! Hey, looks like the fan club took care of us longtime members again. God, I love the fan club. Maggie >>

The Sting of Money
by Raj Manoharan 27 Aug '03

How does the lyric go? "There's no religion except sex and music and lots and lots of money." For the record, tickets for Andy Summers performances usually range anywhere from $10 to $30, there are no ridiculous add-on fees except for minimal food-and-drink minimums at the clubs and dinner theatres, you get to see a master musician up close and personal with no other nonsense except for pure guitar, bass and drums (and maybe keyboards), you have direct access to Andy through just one person--his Web master, technical assistant and tour manager Dennis Smith (how many PR and marketing people do you have to go through to get to Sting?), and every one of Andy's albums has been unanimously critically hailed by serious and respected music journalists and critics, except for the one he sang on (how many other former Police members can claim that?). Don't get me wrong. I like Sting's music, and I plan to get his new album when it comes out in the U.S. As for the rest, you do the math. God Bless <There are Paris show tickets on eBay for $160 (they were $60 each from the fan club but with all the charges they were about $150 for a pair) They are being sold by the fan club itself!!

Maggie I've just sent an email to the seller giving them a piece of my mind. I think it sucks, and I've half a mind to cancel my membership, on account of misleading advertising. Claiming that Premium members get exclusive access to tickets, yet they're selling them on ebay cheaper?? (I paid $65 for my membership!!) And can anyone explain what this is all about when you go to purchase the tickets at sting.com (well, Ultrastar): Processing Fee ($ 2.50 - per ticket) 2 $ 5.00 Handling Fee ($ 8.70 - per order) 1 $ 8.70 Convenience Fee ($ 6.00 - per ticket) 2 $ 12.00 Facility Fee ($ 7.00 - per ticket) 2 $ 14.00 What the hell is a 'convenience fee'... Convenient? For who? They expect you to pick your tickets up at the door, so they don't even have to post them to you, and they CHARGE you for THEIR convenience???? And just what facilities are we being charged for? Is this $7 for each person to use the toilet??? I remember when people just started charging a 'Handling Fee', but now it seems we're expected to pay for the cleaners in the ticket sales office too.....
