Several fan club members have chimed in, so I'll chime in from the other side of the road about why I am not joining. :-) 1. I love The Police, Stewart, Andy, and Sting (I maintain the longest-running Police / Andy / Stewart / Sting web site on the INTERNET. I think only this awesome list of Pete's has been around online longer). 2. I would absolutely adore seeing them in concert together. It would be the highlight of all of my concert-going experiences ever (I was too young to know or care who they were the first time around). BUT 3. If I fail to get really good seats after paying $100 for membership, I'll feel cheated, and my respect for our boys will undoubtedly be impacted. I would rather risk not seeing them, than risk feeling forever cheated by them or their fan club. So, instead of spending $100 in the hopes of getting better seats, I am planning to take that money and donate it to charity instead. I know there are lots of ways to get tickets - and I'll willingly settle for nosebleeds myself. I'll gladly take my chances outside of the fan club and outside of Best Buy. Right now I'm just holding out the hopes that Chicago dates are announced soon, otherwise I might not be going at all! Good luck to everyone getting tickets - may we all get great seats through whatever methods work! :-) - Marisa http://www.stingetc.com Mathew Hoffman <mathew@wattobay.com> wrote: How many of you on this board took membership up? Hearing all of the crap that has gone on with codes and the like has made me wonder whether or not is worth outlaying $130 Aussie dollars on it. I know that the lads will tour down here later in the year, but I am sceptical about joining. Thoughts?? Thanks! Cheers from down here! --------------------------------- The fish are biting.
