Went along to the Marquee Club in London England way back in the eary 80s for a Police fan club event with only 400 people in the audience!
The next next night the band played at the Wembley Arena London to 12,000!

The Police and Sting occupy a place in my personal rock mythology from where they may never be moved. I “raise the horns” for them!

Leicester De Montfort Hall, 1979. They were actually very good. Sting didn’t like the ‘77 punk hangover of gobbing on the band and at one point threatened some earnest gobber with the stock of his bass. But it was a good concert.

when my son was almost three (21 years ago) The Police played in Miami. My son, whose first song was “Roxanne” (try that one on grandparents) was my date for the concert, him miniture saxophone in tow. When we picked up our tickets at “Will Call” I was asked why I was taking “a baby” to see Sting. I laughed and said something like “he probably knows more lyrics than you do”. She asked to see our tickets, and asked if we would like better seats…of course! The mystery woman was one of the band’s publicists and she put is in the front row with Trudie and several of their children. My son was mesmerized: he stood on the floor looking up at Sting the entire evening, singing and playing along on his little sax. The group must have been amused by this Mini-Me because after the concert, we were to the backstage afterparty. Branford Marsalis took my son aside for a private sax “lesson”.–the entire group, and entire vibe, could not have been more wonderful. Besides creating a Sting-fan-for-life, it is always great to see an artist who is amazing on stage, and off. We are looking forward to reliving the memory in NYC August 7.

I love The Police. I love Sting. Saw them at the Meadowlands, it was a stress buster. I remembered my high school years along with the high school friends that went with me. It was FANTASTIC. THE BEST GROUP IN THE WORLD.

Hey everyone who bought tickets – watch out because Ticketmaster is changing seat locations on you without notification! I just had my one pair right at the side of the stage in the loge changed to the 300 level and Ticketmaster will NOT refund my purchase. This is highly upsetting and really awful for those of us fans who worked hard to get good seats, only to be given the bait and switch, apparently. I feel doubly bad for the poor way this reflects back on the charitable cause behind the concert.

Had my sect 67&68 seats reassigned to sect 313 (awful) without warning or notification by Ticketmaster who is blaming the Promoter & MSG…is this how to treat fans…not happy! This has happened to many of my friends as well. Can PBS do anything?!?!?

I am one of the many people that is disappointed to learn that my seats for the show at MSG have been changed to a less favorable section. I am concerned how this is sullying the reputation of PBS. An error occurred in the intial ticketing and pricing and those responsible have simply refused to do anything to rectify it in a satisfactory way. Although PBS is not directly involved in this situation, it is being damaged by its association with the whole affair.

I grew up listening to the Police. Now I listen to the stuff my dad listens to but my mom is a big Police fan. I grew up listening to Every Breath you take the singles. Good CD. I also grew up with Stings music as well. When I heard Sting was coming to Grand Rapids Michigan I couldn’t help but get tickets. I took my mom with me. He put on a good show. 3 years later I heard the Police were coming to Van Andel so me and my buddy got tickets. I knew I couldn’t turn it down. It was the best show I’ve ever attended. They totally rocked. Let’s just say that they arrested their fans and threw them into a musical prison.

I’ve been a huge Police fan since 1982 when I was a college student at the University of South Carolina. A highlight of my life was interviewing Sting in ‘88 when I was a young entertainment news reporter for a Nashville television show. Chet Atkins presented Sting with a Gibson guitar, and we were there to cover THAT story. However, being the die-hard Police fan that I am, I asked Sting if he would sit down for a brief chat. He agreed, and graciously provided me a 20-minute interview that, to this day, is a high mark in my career. I’ve seen the Police four times on their current tour (NYC, DC, Charlottesville, Charlotte) and am grateful that I had the opportunity to see one of my favorite bands again. I can now cross “Seeing the Police from the Front Row”(which I did in D.C.) off my Bucket List! Thanks guys for a wonderful year of happy memories…

when i was 13,i gained a ticket to go from montrvideo to buenos aires for the best concert Sting has ever given in his life, nothing like the sun tour, i traveled with my mum to argentina, i will never forget that, a couple of years later i saw Sting in My place,Montevideo ,the concert was quite different from that one b4, but anyway wasalso great!!! i saw him in the hotel, just a glass wa separeting us….in 2004 sting was in barcelona with inside tour, excelent i sw himagain, he has been my guide and my companion thrugh almost all my life , with his music and his songs..last year, the 26tyh september i went to c The Police in barcelona and i understood that police are 3,andy ,your book is omething else,,,, las saturday I traveled to madrid to c them again, in rock in rio,i hope to c you guys more often, and waiting 4 the new album.thank u for excisting and 4 the reunion.Long Life!!!Patricia

I’ve waited my whole life to see The Police and I’m glad I’ll finally get to see them in NYC. Bought just 1 ticket for myself. I’m going to dance all night, sing along to every song, and, as far as I’m concerned, it will only be the three of them and me. It’s a dream come true. I was in 7th grade (11 yrs old) when I first heard them (and my music teacher didn’t believe there was such a group!). It only took me until age 41–30 years–to get to see them. I can’t wait….

Ya know, its just SOO nice of PBS to think of all the folks who consider me lucky because I get to, er, live, on SSI/Disability thanks to an on-the-job accident.

$750/pair on up, with a min $5,000 party, all tax deductible to the wealthy. Well, at least I can dream that *some* day they’ll have the decency to broadcast it, end-to-end, without a freakn’ pledge break every 5 minutes.
How about this: In the future, put the PUBLIC back into Public Broadcasting and give away a quarter of the house (good seats through nosebleed seats) to anyone who qualifies with a VA Benefits or SSI/M’care A+B, added benefits for Purple Hearts or On-the-Job 100%’ers!
‘course that would cut the gate for those who give to what should be 100% no-strings government-funded TV, the way Ed Murrow said it was going to be when you signed on.
Only time he was ever taken 100%.

I have been a big fan of The Police since their very first album. I knew when they broke up, I would never feel that way about a band again. I always hoped that they would reunite. It was absolutely thrilling to see them again, since they are the only favorite band of mine that still has all the original members in it. When I saw them play last year in Giant Stadium in New Jersey and then again for the Halloween show in Madison Square Garden, I felt as if I were a teenager again. They sounded as wonderful now as they did back in the 70’s and 80’s.

I am really looking forward to the August 7th show in the Garden, but I hope that it is really not the last time we see the play. I hope that we see them again, and that they record some new music.

Thank you, Stewart, Andy and Sting, for not forgetting about your fans and coming back again.

Sincerely,

Jean Doty

Singing with the Police and 19,000 other people – what an experience! Some high points: the NYPD band playing back-up on “Message in a Bottle” — Sting’s daughters dancing onstage during “Don’t Stand so Close to Me” — whisker-y Sting disappearing backstage with the camera crew after playing “I Can’t Stand Losing You”, getting SHAVED on camera while we screamed and clapped, then returning to the stage to play “Purple Haze”. And yes, the fat lady sang at the end of the show. Thanks Police, and I hope your retirement is short lived.

I saw the police the 1st time in 1980 in the UK. I loved them all from the 1st sighting and I couldnt have been more thrilled to participate on this tour!
I will keep my fingers crossed that they will decide to come back one more time!
Just cant get enough. love you, sting, stewart & andy

MTV was just getting started when I was about 13 years old and whenever the video for “Don’t Stand So Close To Me” would come on I was glued to the TV. I told my older brother I wanted an English Beat t-shirt and when he found one for me, I immediately cut the sleeves off! My first Police concert was on the Synchronicity tour on a cold night in Biloxi, Mississippi. I’ve never forgotten the climax of “Regatta de Blanc.” I had tears in my eyes at Madison Square Garden two days ago when Sting got to the same place in that song and said, “This is the last time we’re gonna do this so let’s raise the roof of the f***ing place!” And, boy, did we. Thanks, Stewart, Andy and Sting, for being… … The Police.

WOW! I had never been to a Police concert, although I’ve always loved their music. Got tickets for my husband and I , but ended up going with my 16 yr old son. what a surprise!! He knew every song!! That night went down memory lane,at timesI had … chills down my spine,tears in my eyes and most of all I was a proud mom! I will never forgot this fantastic evening. THX for the memories!!
