In what is destined to be an historic run, the Police will embark on their first tour in 23 years, beginning May 28 at the GM Arena in Vancouver, Billboard.com can exclusively reveal. As part of a tour that will play arenas and stadiums internationally through the end of the year, the band will also headline the June 16 date of the Bonnaroo festival in Manchester, Tenn.
We're expecting Fenway Park (confirmed) and Wrigley Field (unconfirmed) to be stops along this epic tour and we'll update with tour dates as soon as they're posted.

If "Rockstar Supernova" can ask $50 and over, questioning whether The Police can garner that among a fanbase that now has disposable income seems silly...
$50 I can see, but those will be the nosebleeds. It's the idea of spending $225 to see a 2 hour (if that) concert in a giant arena that leaves me cold. I suppose that's why I don't see very many mainstream concerts.
I agree with ZZYZX I find the whole idea of playing stadiums to be rediculous. Sure they can fill them but why do that to your fans. And if last night's short performance was any indication of things to come this tour is going to be boring.

"says the guy who is examining their schedule with a fine tooth comb."
Yeah, that's because I have friends who are excited but aren't getting local shows with those dates, so I was hoping that they were fake for their sake.
The Police need to release more concert dates, otherwise tickets will be unobtainable. Presale passwords have been getting sucked up in seconds after release.
I know it's a bit late, but I just went to the concert in Vegas last night and it was totally worth the $262.50. They played for well over 2 hours and it was non-stop! In fact, as we walked out of the arena EVERYONE was talking about how it was the best concert EVER!! I have to agree, best show I've ever seen. I highly recommend going and seeing them live.
