This is rather disappointing. I would have hoped that some list members would have been able to get tickets. As for Sting.com/Outlandos, I don't think they are going to be doing much as far as giveaways/sweepstakes until they relaunch the new website in July. I am hoping that we all can get some opportunities as far as tickets, meet and greets, etc. under the new fan club benefits that they are going to announce in July. It is rather odd though that there has been no mention of the Mayan taping on Sting.com or really any idea as to what it is about or for. Is the taping going to be inside the theater? It seems rather early for them to be doing an entire show of the new stuff since no one in the audience will have a clue about it (true fan or not) since it has not been released yet. At least with the Universal Amphitheater show, it was done after Brand New Day was released so many of the people in the audience knew some of the newer songs.

Subject: [Police] Sting taping at the Mayan in LA appears to be tonight or tomorrow

There has been set-up in the parking lot of the Mayan theater in downtown LA for the past two days for the taping of something for Sting. I was told by one of the staff at the Mayan the taping would be today (Wed) or tomorrow. The problem is the Mayan is in a area where there aren't many people walking around so you stand out if you hang around. Did anyone on this list get an invite to this event? I've tried all my avenues and am lost. The only people I know of who are getting in are those who won them from STAR 98.7 radio (probably not even true fans). I would have thought sting.com would have given away some passes for this event but apparantly the radio station knows better who the TRUE fans are.
