I am a
real Police fan, I am going to the show, Deb is a real Police fan, she is
going to the show. There will be others that are fans that will get to the show
also. It just comes down to dedication, if you really want to be there, you will
find a way of being there. This is the same as being front row for Tuscany,
front row Central park, front row for the Albert Hall (albeit not 10 nights in a
row like Mr Carter) and the other 50 odd shows per tour.
I
always hear about how unfair it is, but if you want it bad enough, and are
resourceful, then there is always a way to get to these things. There is a group
of us that make it a priority to acheive these things, and that is why Fred,
Andrea, Jeremy, Debs, Paul, Andy, Estelle, Fabian, Martin, Jutta, Rogier, Margie
etc all manage to get to the good shows. It is not luck (although it certainly
helps sometimes), it is just hard work, sometimes it is cash, sometimes it means
sleeping in Central park overnight to get the front row.
I
often hear the best of the best althletes say "You know it's funny, but the
harder I practice, the luckier I seem to get" This is the same, we are all
willing to do the hard work to get the shows, we are also around enough to get
known, this results in being in the right place at the right time to be given a
lucky ticket by a band member when all other resources fail.
Don't
give up the faith
