 The Police
The Police appearance at Madison Square Garden (August 7) will be doled out as thank-you gifts for donation pledges made to New York public television stations Thirteen/WNET and WLIW21, making the show the largest single fundraising event in the history of public television, according to a press release.
The tickets will be given away beginning June 14 to people who pledge at various levels ($750, $500, $350, $150) to either of the two stations. Members of the Police fan club will have first crack at the tickets beginning June 9.
The group is set to kick off the final US leg of its 14-month trek July 11 in Ridgefield, WA, the first of 15 cities remaining on the outing.
Elvis Costello & The Imposters will provide opening support on the remaining dates of the tour except for the New York City show, which will feature the B-52s.
Last month, The Police pledged $1 million to New York City's MillionTreesNYC campaign, which aims to plant 10,000 trees to create new urban forests.
