The Police!



Utter amazement. That describes my reaction in finding out that The Police were coming not just to Virginia, but to Charlottesville as part of their reunion tour. We tried to get tickets during the first leg of their US tour back in the summer, but we were blocked out. As a life-long fan of this band, whom I never expected to see in concert [much less in my home town], it was a no brainer to get tickets.

Thanks to my subscription to the 'Keeping up with the Joneses' email list, I was able to buy tickets during the pre-sale period. I doubt that there will be many tickets left when they go on sale to the public on Saturday. Though I have to wonder about the price point: $50, $90, and $220 or so, with most of the bottom being $220. Guess they're trying to make up for lost revenues during the 20 years they didn't tour.

I am thrilled about seeing this band in concert. I've been listening to my 'Message in a Box' compliation to get ready. And I can already tell I'll wind up buying whatever $30 t-shirt they'll be selling.
