Refried Screens

Stewart Copeland, drummer of The Police, recently ripped into his band for sucking it hard during their reunion tour:

“This is unbelievably lame” he wrote of their recent performance in Vancouver, which was rife with tripping, miscues, and other synchronishitties.

Surprisingly, that’s not what’s really lame.

According to the NY Post, fifth row seats at their gig at MSG August 1st are going for $11,500 a ticket.

You can blame that on resellers, but that’s not the lamest thing about The Police’s tour.

Wheelchair bound fans can’t get tickets for the Edmonton show online from Ticketmaster.

Maybe Ticketmaster is doing a humane thing: Creating obstacles to prevent the handicapped from attending a sucky, expensive show and feeling jipped.

That’s what I thought until I found out that Ticketmaster has special seats for folks in wheelchairs available by phone…for an extra $130.

Either way, as much as Stewart Copeland thinks his band sucks live, he won’t be refunding anyone’s tickets.

Let the buyer beware!
