AmEx ticket presale
by Guerren Solbach 11 Mar '04

11 Mar '04

FYI a friend pointed out to me on TicketMaster's website that an American Express password is all it takes to buy Sting tix on pre-sale. (Ticket sales for the general public don't start until Sunday.) He's got their gold card and so just bought me tickets (Upper Level Center Section 202, Row M - Lower Level seats were not available or sold out) for the 10/2 concert at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, CA, I can't wait!! Who knows what other musicians might show up for a Sting/Annie Lennox show on Sting's bday!! Good thing I haven't paid my bills yet this month... Guerren

I can't say the seats are any better than I've gotten on my own, but I am pretty much guaranteed getting a decent seat, if you like just decent seats. I've become quite spoiled and really don't want more than 6 rows back. Oddly enough, the tix I am purchasing through the fan club aren't what I'd go for if I were buying them on my own. Seems like I'm buying more tickets, but poorer quality. Actually, to get the good quality seats during BND, I had purchased just a single seat, that's the only way I got so close each time. Doesn't seem to matter w/sting.com whether you buy one seat or 4, they all come up the same. I don't think I answered your question, but if you want seats, period, then go for the membership. If you want a single good seat up front, try your luck and go without! One other plus to the membership is meeting other people with that common sting bond, which is kind of neat. Yea, go for it, it's worth it. What show are you interested in? I may have NY tix if our travel plans don't work out. I'd be posting them here and on Sting.com if so. I don't believe in selling sting.com tix at a profit, nor to someone that's not dying to go to the show! They just may have to prove themselves worthy of the tix! Michelle

I believe the fan club membership that comes with purchasing a ticket is a trial period and does not give you access to fan club ticket pre-sales. -----Original Message----- From: David Lucky [mailto:dlucky711@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 3:10 PM To: police(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Police] fan club membership q I just got my email from clear channel saying since I bought a Sting tickets my Sting fan club membership awaits.

sting beacon show
by David Lucky 08 Mar '04

08 Mar '04

I went to the Sting Beacon show on Friday and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. After reading a few posted reviews on this list of lackluster performances I guess I went in with low expectations and at least they were exceeded. Just seeing Sting performing and his energy seemed pretty high so it was very enjoyable. It seems the show has a lot less emphasis on the screen show going on behind him than the Sting NYC opening show I saw late last year. The light show was cool with all the lights moving up and down and diagonal in sync for some songs at the end. And they toned down the sexy images during send your love and now you focus more on the band. I did think ending with thousand years was kind of boring but on the other hand it is good to see a change of pace to put Fragile somewhere else in the list. other opnions...
