Pre-sale wise, I think at the moment it looks like it might be through Ticketmaster, and by use of a fanclub-only password in the same way The Who's was and a few other bands.....

Wait till you see the prices they will be charging for the tickets. My guess is the best ones will be over £100....each :eek:

niteflite01

Agreed. It really is dreadful when you think about it

Sure a night out anywhere will cost you a fair few quid these days. But £200 for a pair of tickets, and drinks, and transport etc etc and these concerts really are getting stupidly expensive now.

Seems Sting doesn't mind trees being used to make money for him

To be fair, a large percentage of the proceeds are going to charity.

felix65

the police PROMOTIONAL CODE any one know what it is

felix65

for the website membership?

bluey9

It's a use once code that even the fanclub member can re use for another show.
So ticket touts who don't mind paying an extra £15 per ticket can put em on ebay and fleece the true fans.

Scumbags the lot of em.

Total Rip Off they should be ashamed charging that for a fan club, Its ripping just off their fans.

Not all band's rip off their fans though....

REMs fan club is $12.00 a year works out under £6 for that you get a Collectors Christmas Set with a CD Calendar Poster etc and 4 letters a year, sold my Christmas CD on ebay last year and got £26 for it, and on the last tour I prebooked and got a early entry wristband ended up right at the front at Hammersmith.

And concert tickets are going the same way as football tickets, soon these rip off bands will be playing to empty arenas.
