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've managed to get in the front row for numerous "Police-Related" shows over the past 20 years. It was hard work but as a dedicated fan it paid off. I was also in the front row for that Central Park concert. But let me just say that if you think that getting in the front row for a General Admission concert is "the same" as getting into this Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame performance, I've got a bridge to sell you.

Of course I'm speaking in generalized terms here but,
getting to this show will be about one of two things:

Who you know, or how much money you have.

OK, throw in luck too, but this is a situation where
it is NOT in the control of the fans if they attend
(no matter how long they sleep in a gutter).

Please don't compare the HOF to GA shows, which are STILL the fairest way for true fans to see their favorite bands up close without being among the privileged.
