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!

Bye!
