+ | ==The ever-changing finale== | ||
+ | * On [[2008-02-13]], the dates for the tour's final swing through North America were announced on the Billboard and Fox News websites with "a more or less final date" (Fox News) set for Long Island’s Jones Beach on [[2008-08-04]]. Fans quickly began to make plans to attend the finale show and buy tickets as soon as they were made available. However, on [[2008-03-04]], a second Jones Beach performance date was announced for [[2008-08-05]], making this now the last scheduled date for the tour.[http://www.thepolice.com/news/news.php?uid=5666] Many fans were very upset about this announcement, as they felt they had been tricked into buying tickets for the August 4 date on the expectation that it was the last show. Many [[ThePolice.com]] members had used their presale codes for the show on August 4, others had made travel arrangements already from other countries to be at the finale, and now felt that the band and/or the tour management had spoiled the end of the tour for them through their "greed".[http://www.policefans.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=424],[http://www.stewartcopeland.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6288&highlight=jones+beach],[http://www.stewartcopeland.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6183&highlight=jones+beach] In an interview published in the ''Sun Sentinel'' on [[2008-04-30]], [[Stewart Copeland]] acknowledged the controversy surrounding the announcement of the second Jones Beach show. According to Copeland, "Inside the bubble we thought this was a great idea...We would never have guessed (the controversy) or intuited that without the Web."[http://www.sun-sentinel.com/entertainment/sfl-0430copeland,0,964818.story] | ||
+ | |||
+ | * On [[2008-05-06]], [[The Police]] held a press conference in Times Square in New York City with Mayor Michael Bloomberg. They announced that they would be performing their "last concert ever", in the city of New York (date/location to be revealed later), and that it would be a benefit concert for local public broadcasting networks as well as the MillionTreesNYC project.[http://www.thepolice.com/news/news.php?uid=5695] Fan reaction to the news was mixed, with many again expressing discontent that they had, for the second time, been lead to believe an earlier date would be the end of the tour. Concerns were expressed about the ability to resell tickets to the earlier "finale" shows now that a new finale was planned, as well as the difficulty of obtaining tickets to this new show or making extended/new travel plans.[http://www.stewartcopeland.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6865&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0],[http://www.stewartcopeland.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6876],[http://www.thepolice.com/members/community/mboard/index.php?topic=10041.0] | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Finale ticketing shenanigans== | ||
+ | * On [[2008-06-05]], a month after the new finale concert was announced, the details were finally revealed on the final concert location, date and ticketing. It would take place on [[2008-08-07]] at [[Madison Square Garden]]. Tickets would be sold through a PBS pledge drive with prices beginning at $150/pair and going up to $5,000 a pair for VIP access.[http://www.policefans.org/Police_wiki/index.php?title=2008-06-05_%28News%29] It was later announced that [[ThePolice.com]], Citicard (the corporate sponsor of this leg of the tour), and PBS would all be having presales for their members. Only pairs of tickets could be bought through any of the sales, no singles would be made available. Many fans worked hard through the various presales beginning on [[2008-06-09]] to get tickets close to and behind the stage (an area known to [[Stewart Copeland]] fans as "Stew Heaven" and a particular favorite for drummer aficionados.) There was general disappointment among many members of [[ThePolice.com]] who found their presale seats, even at the Legacy membership level, inferior to the PBS presale ones, and no better (and sometimes worse) than the Citicard ones.[http://www.stewartcopeland.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7326&highlight=msg],[http://www.stewartcopeland.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7328&highlight=msg],[http://www.stewartcopeland.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7279&highlight=msg] | ||
+ | |||
+ | * On [[2008-06-20]], fans reported checking their ticket orders and seeing that their ticket assignments had been changed without their knowledge to much inferior seats within the same price bracket. Even the date of their ticket purchases had been changed from [[2008-06-09]] and after to [[2008-06-18]]. All behind-the-stage seats were relocated to the upper 300 level, and some seated on the upper 300 levels were changed to the even higher 400 levels. Fans were completely outraged by this change, which meant that many of the biggest fans of the band who had worked hardest to get good seats were now stuck with some of the worst. Appeals were quickly made to Police HQ at [[ThePolice.com]], Ticketmaster, and [[Stewart Copeland]] himself as he is generally perceived as the most fan-responsive member of the band.[http://www.stewartcopeland.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7493],[http://www.stewartcopeland.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7494], [http://www.stewartcopeland.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7496],[http://www.thepolice.com/members/community/mboard/index.php?topic=10452.0],[http://www.thepolice.com/members/community/mboard/index.php?topic=10453.0] To date there has been no official acknowledgement of the fan upset over this ticketing change, and the only options offered by Ticketmaster to correct this were refunds or an option to upgrade tickets at an increased price - but those who chose to upgrade would not know their exact seating assignment. There was continued disappointment and confusion after it was discovered in the first week of July that single tickets were now being sold via the Ticketmaster website, again often in better seating areas than had been available earlier and in the presales when single tickets were not allowed.[http://www.stewartcopeland.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7648] | ||

+ | ==Environmental concerns== | ||
+ | * In January of [[2008]], [[The Police (band)|The Police]] were singled out by environmentalists for the environmental impact of their global tour and named "the dirtiest band in the world". John Buckly, an environmental adviser from www.carbonfootprint.com, stated "At the Live Earth concert in New Jersey where The Police played, the biggest contribution to carbon emissions wasn't from the concert itself, it was the fans...The Police played lots of big stadiums - they need to be careful over where they play, and make sure it's near public transport." [[Sting (person)|Sting]] in particular was singled out and called a "hypocrite" in the press for being a vocal supporter of green causes while seemingly not backing his words with appropriate action.[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-506906/Hypocrite-Eco-warrior-Sting-Police-list-bands-worst-carbon-footprint.html],[http://www.metro.co.uk/fame/article.html?in_article_id=82886&in_page_id=7&in_a_source=] | ||

Introduction
A reunion tour for The Police had long been the hope and wish of many fans of the band since their last public performances together in 1986. After many rumors and speculation about the possibility of concert appearances in 2007, given the year would mark the band's 30th anniversary, the reunion tour was officially announced on 2007-02-12 during a world-wide live broadcast on television and the internet.
Rehearsals for the tour had begun in January of 2007 in Vancouver, Canada, and then resumed in March of 2007 at Sting's studio at Il Palagio in Tuscany. Further rehearsals in Vancouver began in May of 2007 at the Squamish Indian reserve before the tour opened on 2007-05-27 with a Fan Club-only show.

Controversies and kerfluffles
The ever-changing finale
- On 2008-02-13, the dates for the tour's final swing through North America were announced on the Billboard and Fox News websites with "a more or less final date" (Fox News) set for Long Island’s Jones Beach on 2008-08-04. Fans quickly began to make plans to attend the finale show and buy tickets as soon as they were made available. However, on 2008-03-04, a second Jones Beach performance date was announced for 2008-08-05, making this now the last scheduled date for the tour.[1] Many fans were very upset about this announcement, as they felt they had been tricked into buying tickets for the August 4 date on the expectation that it was the last show. Many ThePolice.com members had used their presale codes for the show on August 4, others had made travel arrangements already from other countries to be at the finale, and now felt that the band and/or the tour management had spoiled the end of the tour for them through their "greed".[2],[3],[4] In an interview published in the Sun Sentinel on 2008-04-30, Stewart Copeland acknowledged the controversy surrounding the announcement of the second Jones Beach show. According to Copeland, "Inside the bubble we thought this was a great idea...We would never have guessed (the controversy) or intuited that without the Web."[5]
- On 2008-05-06, The Police held a press conference in Times Square in New York City with Mayor Michael Bloomberg. They announced that they would be performing their "last concert ever", in the city of New York (date/location to be revealed later), and that it would be a benefit concert for local public broadcasting networks as well as the MillionTreesNYC project.[6] Fan reaction to the news was mixed, with many again expressing discontent that they had, for the second time, been lead to believe an earlier date would be the end of the tour. Concerns were expressed about the ability to resell tickets to the earlier "finale" shows now that a new finale was planned, as well as the difficulty of obtaining tickets to this new show or making extended/new travel plans.[7],[8],[9]
Finale ticketing shenanigans
- On 2008-06-05, a month after the new finale concert was announced, the details were finally revealed on the final concert location, date and ticketing. It would take place on 2008-08-07 at Madison Square Garden. Tickets would be sold through a PBS pledge drive with prices beginning at $150/pair and going up to $5,000 a pair for VIP access.[10] It was later announced that ThePolice.com, Citicard (the corporate sponsor of this leg of the tour), and PBS would all be having presales for their members. Only pairs of tickets could be bought through any of the sales, no singles would be made available. Many fans worked hard through the various presales beginning on 2008-06-09 to get tickets close to and behind the stage (an area known to Stewart Copeland fans as "Stew Heaven" and a particular favorite for drummer aficionados.) There was general disappointment among many members of ThePolice.com who found their presale seats, even at the Legacy membership level, inferior to the PBS presale ones, and no better (and sometimes worse) than the Citicard ones.[11],[12],[13]
- On 2008-06-20, fans reported checking their ticket orders and seeing that their ticket assignments had been changed without their knowledge to much inferior seats within the same price bracket. Even the date of their ticket purchases had been changed from 2008-06-09 and after to 2008-06-18. All behind-the-stage seats were relocated to the upper 300 level, and some seated on the upper 300 levels were changed to the even higher 400 levels. Fans were completely outraged by this change, which meant that many of the biggest fans of the band who had worked hardest to get good seats were now stuck with some of the worst. Appeals were quickly made to Police HQ at ThePolice.com, Ticketmaster, and Stewart Copeland himself as he is generally perceived as the most fan-responsive member of the band.[14],[15], [16],[17],[18] To date there has been no official acknowledgement of the fan upset over this ticketing change, and the only options offered by Ticketmaster to correct this were refunds or an option to upgrade tickets at an increased price - but those who chose to upgrade would not know their exact seating assignment. There was continued disappointment and confusion after it was discovered in the first week of July that single tickets were now being sold via the Ticketmaster website, again often in better seating areas than had been available earlier and in the presales when single tickets were not allowed.[19]
Environmental concerns
- In January of 2008, The Police were singled out by environmentalists for the environmental impact of their global tour and named "the dirtiest band in the world". John Buckly, an environmental adviser from www.carbonfootprint.com, stated "At the Live Earth concert in New Jersey where The Police played, the biggest contribution to carbon emissions wasn't from the concert itself, it was the fans...The Police played lots of big stadiums - they need to be careful over where they play, and make sure it's near public transport." Sting in particular was singled out and called a "hypocrite" in the press for being a vocal supporter of green causes while seemingly not backing his words with appropriate action.[20],[21]
- The criticism would continue into the summer of 2008 over incidents such as Sting taking private jets by himself.[22],[23]
