Well, I am only seeing them once this time. Brisbane and that's it. I saw the Police play each tour in Sydney. I have seen Sting umpteen times and Andy every night he played in Sydney. Logistically I could fly all about Australia to see them, but for those of you who know the land down under, I live on a continent that has a land mass that is larger than North America, so there is a major cost involved in air fares and accommodation apart from tickets. 20 odd years ago in 1984 I saw them in Sydney then jetted off to Melbourne to see the last Synchronicity concert, back then I was 20, no family and a steady job. Fast forward a few years, I have 2 great kids and a wife and my own business - an IT consultancy. Mikkel, I guess it comes down to priorities. I'd love to see them all over Aus and anywhere else in the world - in fact I was just saying to my wife that she and I could go to Hawaii for a holiday next year and see the boys play Honolulu. My life is much different now to 1984. As much as the Police are my band ( and my kids like them too! ), I can only justify seeing them in Brisbane, but I will have my son with me for the ride!

Herold Sent: Thursday, 29 November 2007 7:16 PM To: Sting-liste Subject: [Police] Should I go ...? Okay, so The Police have just announced their second show in Denmark in June next year - the question is, should I go? I have a hard time making up my mind here. Ticket prices are high - again - and I have already seen them when they were here on September 1st. That was an amazing show, but it will probably be the same show over again in June. Also, the summer shows come after a three month break, so maybe they will not be up to full speed. Then again, this is probably one of the last chances to see the trio perform live, and they are my favourite group. They could, of course, do the unthinkable and make new music in the three month break and present that at the summer shows, in which case I should definitely go! What are your thoughts about the summer shows? Will they just be a plain wrap-up of the tour, or will we see something different? I'm hoping the latter, but logic dictates the former (the same logic that ruled out a Police reunion for 20 some years ...).
