The Chicago show went on sale today. I have two web pages open and have two phones redialing.

I'm not hopeful.

DH would LOVE LOVE LOVE these tickets. I hope I can get through.
 
When I first read the thread title, I thought you were talking about a policeman's ball or something! LOL

Good luck! I hope you can get them. Getting tickets to something you really want to see can be so stressful.

Should have been more clear...

The Police are reuniting for a tour this summer. They are playing most major cities.
 
85 MPH down the Tri-State doesn't seem to attract Police Tickets, either.
 
I LOVE the POLICE!!! I would also love to see them in concert!:D

I'm sure they do. There was a members only presale over the weekend. You had to pay $100 to get access to it, which I'm sure they paid.

I got sick of navigating the automated system and am now on hold to talk to a live person. Maybe there is hope for two seats together....

[shrug] It's Chicago. [/shrug] Even The Police are subject to a little palm grease.

I've had 2 or 3 pages open all morning automatically refreshing for the past hour. No luck.

I notice that your show is being sold through Ticketmaster. The Chicago show is being sold through tickets.com.

I just checked tickets here. They are playing over 3 hours away on the west coast or 5 hours away to Miami! The tickets are over $300 each!!!!:eek:
 
That is aweful. I clicked on at 10:00 exactly got the though and was told a 1 minute wait. Then I was knocked off! When I did it again it was a 7 minute wait and I had to keep clicking yes for an unsecure site. And then it tried knocking me off 3 more times. I kept clicking the back arrow to the processing screen until it finally said I had seats! Whew! I was stressed!
 
I have a friend who is a ticket-broker - maybe she can hook you up. PM me for her contact info if you want it
