This is a very basic template to use for articles about events in Police history. You can add header sections and images as you feel necessary in order to properly illustrate the event. For actual performances, please use [[Template:Performance]] instead. Event articles should be named in the YYYY-MM-DD format to be properly registered in the timeline calendars. | This is a very basic template to use for articles about events in Police history.

 Banner advertisement on the WLIW homepage, which appeared on 2008-06-05 when news of the final show hit the press. | |

On 2008-06-05, The New York Times published a story announcing that the final Police concert would take place on 2008-08-07 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. According to the announcement, "A $5,000 donation will get the V.I.P. treatment — dinner, a party, attendance at a sound check — while $150 will secure a pair of tickets."
Tickets would be sold during a PBS pledge-drive on 2008-06-14.
The announcement was met by a flurry of reactions from fans. While relieved to finally know the date of the final show, many expressed concern over the manner in which ticket sales would be handled.[1] On ThePolice.com, Police HQ reacted testily when criticized that the news was announced first through the New York Times and not the fan club.[2]
