Greetings from Down Under... As I said on the official board.............. "I'd sooner spend my hard earned on flying to LA or wherever Andy is playing, and watching him." Cheers from a wet and humid Noosa, Queensland Australia!

Hi Holly (and the rest of the list!) The top Vancouver tickets are $257.00...yikes...I will have to think about this one....maybe they will be cheaper at other venues (I can hope). I paid less than that (although admittedly not much less) to see The Police from the first ten rows...not sure if I would spend that much to see him with an orchestra. Have to wait and see if he comes anywhere nearby before I make a decision. I also noticed that the fan club is selling exclusive premium packages again that guarantee first 15 rows of the stage, a specially designed Sting concert shirt, a collectible Tour poster (numbered and exclusive to this ticket package), an official tour program, a commemorative laminate and an exclusive Sting Tour gift...I can only guess how much these are going to be!

Wow, the silence since Sting announced his tour with the
Philharmonic has been deafening.
I sense a disturbance in the Force... can it be Sting fatigue?
I will probably go if the tickets aren't a king's ransom and the
venue is within driving distance, but I would have trouble
in these tough economic times justifying a huge expense for
something I've seen and heard before.
I was among those quite disappointed with the Winter album, so while
I'm glad he's sticking to
tried and true songs, it's interesting that he's doing the whole
orchestral deal.
Comments? Agree? Disagree?
Hey, not all of you are stuck in the middle of the worst winter in
Pennsylvania since the blizzard of '93,
and even I'm not hibernating, so let 's hear from you!
Stay warm (where applicable) and have a great weekend!
Holly
