Important presale announcement on policetour message board

Postby BongoBoy on 14 Feb 2007 16:53

I have to try in 5 minutes and I have no idea what is going on.

I have read and read, there is like 5 threads on the same topic, it's brutal.

I know I won't get any so I'm not stressing anymore.

I don't think they (my favorite band) should have screwed me for $100 though.

Oh well, people don't get rich by being nice.

Cheers I guess.

This info should have been thought out from the begininning.

Fan club members deserve first shot, befor corp sponsors.

I just wish I knew this last night so I could have joined, as I figured I would do it all in one transaction today at noon.


Anyway from my brief time on this board you guys are the real deal and I wish you all the best in getting seats.

I will try my luck tomorrow.

Well, I've got 4 tickets to the Toronto show.

Don't know how good they are. I was in such a hurry to book them that I never checked the seating chart. I just let them give me the best available.

Let me know how the rest of you did.

I think I am going to try for 1 tomorrow for MSG Friday.

I had 2 bands that as a kid (30yrs old) I was too young to see:

1. Talking Heads

2. Police

The money issue with tix $250 plus the $100 leaves a bad taste,but its a once in a lifetime chance.

I sincerely hope they announce more NY MSG shows for fans.

If you go to stubhub.com you will be sick, an hour after the presale yesterday from Bestbuy 157 entries with tix priced as high as $10,000

I think dealmakers should have referred to the Springsteen model where tickets have to be picked up the night of the show with the license and credit card of the purchaser.

Cause honestly the $$$ for legit retail is sky high, the broker rates are disgusting.

Sorry to harp, but this was not thought out well at all, they have had 21 yrs to work out the damn details!@

Well I got total crap tickets for Toronto, Best Buy must have sold all the good stuff.

No lie, I,m against the wall of the stadium.

This has really ruined my vibe.

This sucks for $100.

What a sucker I am.

Hey bella, if you email the admins at the police site they will probably refund the $100 if you explain you're a sting.com member. I think they did it for a bunch of people already.
