...Also regarding Best Buy's 'MemberZone'...you had to be a member of the zone by February 1, 2007. If not (if you joined after 2/1/07, like Ross and I did), you are out o' luck when it comes to getting tickets via Best Buy. Okay...the argument must be raised...back when corporations starting sponsoring tours, the idea - or so everyone thought - was that this was a GOOD thing, that the sponsorship would keep ticket prices affordable for EVERYONE. This is affordable? NOT! And who benefits? Those that are in with the sponsor! Also...couldn't we - members of this list, members of sting.com, etc... - been given a heads up about this 2/1/07 cutoff date? This has been in the works "for weeks" now, according to that concert promoter guy who spoke at the press conference/rehearsal yesterday. I see no reason why word could not have been sent out. In one of my e-mails last week, I mentioned that this tour is not "for us"...the true fans of The Police. One can see what I meant when a guy in a Best Buy club - with no feelings about the band or someone who doesn't even know who they are - has preference over anyone here when it comes to getting tickets.

Well I joined the best buy newsletter to get a code, only to find out you had to be a member BEFORE. So why did they have a big huge advertisement for it on the DAY of the PR, I'll never know.
Anyway, anyone have a code they can give me for Vancouver? Ross
