THE POLICE records sold worldwide...?

I know... that's why I'm saving so much money for the tix.

My friends think I'm nuts when I tell them I'd sign up for another credit card just for another limit to charge these under... I'm obsessed, what can I say?

LOL!!!
Yes, and you can consider you as very lucky: if the (im)possible tour is limited to UK and North America, some of us will have to save money for both concert and plane tix!
But I can't complain, South of France isn't very far to Britain, it's not like coming from Peru, for example.

Who said it will be just for UK and USA?

[Mrs. Gradenko]

I remember reading that too, but it's just another rumour.

Why hasan't anyone else added an icon?

Oysterhead... niiiice.

Yeah, they're awesome... would LOVE to see them too. But since we might have a shot for The Police, I'll shut up about that. 2011!

Maybe I'm wrong, and I hope I am, but I think it's what it was said on this U2 forum when the rumour started. Then it was question of a world tour of 80 dates, then 60, then Sting would have said The Police will surely do something in 2007. Just speculation, after all, maybe it's all wrong. Who knows?

I bet the ticket prices will be as expensive (if not more so) than Paul McCartney or The Rolling Stones.

I read an article one time where Bono said he absolutely hated western consumerism. However, I guess he does not hate western consumerism when it comes to his products (ie, concerts, cds, t-shirts etc).

U2 = great musicians.. love their music... but I find them to be a bit hypocritical.

Did anyone ever answer the question that started this thread?

I remember in the mid-80s the media would state that The Police had sold 40 million records, but 15 - 20 years later I would still hear that "40 million" number. Surely, they've sold a few more records in the last 20 years...

[Mrs. Gradenko]

That depends on wether they combined the sales of records and cd's. I'm sure they quit making records. lol
