There is still hope:

VANCOUVER (CP) - The rock band the Police will play additional shows in Montreal and Vancouver.

An extra show was added to each city after tickets sold out the day they were put on sale.

The trio are scheduled to kick off their tour in Vancouver on May 28. The Montreal stop is July 25.

Tickets for the additional shows go on sale Feb. 26.

This will be the band's first tour since the 1980s. It was announced Monday, a day after the Police performed on the Grammy Awards show.

A portion of the proceeds from this tour will be donated to WaterAid, an anti-poverty organization that seeks to provide poor people access to safe water.

All three of these pieces of shit can die and burn in hell. The Police was once one of my 3 favourite all-time bands (along with Yo La Tengo and Clutch). They now have no respect from me.

Where do millionaires get off scamming the fans of their music for over $200 a ticket? I truly hope their plane goes down and they are burning all the way to the ground. But, I hope they remain conscious and really think about what they were charging the people that gave them the life they have now.

Burn in hell all you fucking bitches.

P.S. If it comes out later that Stewart Copeland tried to keep ticket prices down then I hope his seat has a parachute.

Some ticket sales commence this weekend - Feb 17.

A charity called Water Aid will receive a portion of the proceeds from ticket sales and support from the tour.
