Found this today, Police might have same impact on Roo, possible quick sell out?? Shows added as initial Police tickets sell out
February 20, 2007 12:41 PM by Kym Kilgore LiveDaily Contributor It looks like The Police (tickets | music) reunion tour is a big hit with fans: All eight markets that have gone on sale so far have sold out, according to organizers. The August 1 and 3 gigs at New York City's Madison Square Garden sold out this morning (2/20) in 14 minutes. Back-to-back shows July 28-29 at Boston's Fenway Park also sold out when they went on sale today. Last weekend saw immediate sellouts in Toronto, Ontario; Montreal, Quebec; and Vancouver, British Columbia, prompting organizers to add second shows in those cities, according to a press release issued by promoter Live Nation.
These are large venues 50000+. There selling out at 90-400 dollar ticket prices.

^^i doubt it, i honestly think that it will prolly be similar to last year as far as when it sells out. The Police have a draw, but i doubt alot of those Police fans are gonna tough it out in the middle of nowhere just to see them. If they were gonna spend the money for Roo, why not just spend the same amount to fly to see them in a nearby city? (And bypass the porto-potties and no showers.)
i wonder if a significant number of people will buy roo tickets to just come see the police then leave. thus leaving extra room for us 4 dayers
When I got back to camp after Phil I came back to a near empty camp My site was kind of sittin there all by itself, everyone around me left durin Phil.
We just moved into the SE area a couple years ago and have been crazily anticipating this year as our first 'Roo. We're so excited to get to go that we'll be buying our tickets at 12:01 on the 23rd! (Definitely going VIP -- at 36 yrs old and given my need for "decompression" every now and then plus my wife's affinity for a daily shower or two, I think the GA hazing experience would not be a good idea.)
First, I have to say -T-H-A-N-K-Y-O-U-! You all on these boards have given us a TON of great info to help us prepare for our first 'Roo and we are all the more stoked to be going!
Was chatting about the risk of sellout and effects of the Police with my wife the other day (she's a fanatical Stewart Copeland fan) and she says a lot of the general Police fans aren't really too excited about Bonnaroo -- they are focused on the stadium shows. Stewart's fans are into it, but I think the Sting groupies won't be into the music fest scene. She is of the opinion that if anything it will hit the VIP sales more than the general admission sales.
On the other hand, the Police tour has given Bonnaroo a HUGE boost in publicity nationwide. It is mentioned in every press release, every newspaper story, and on the official Police tour website. Even my colleagues and friends at work who aren't into music at all have heard about it. But, I gotta say, the only ones who were at all interested in going to Bonnaroo said either "yah, I wanted to go last year" or had been before, so might not end up making that big a difference.

THis makes me very happy. Stew is the reason everybody should go see them anyways (give your wife some Karma points for me for having good taste in drummers), Sting just doesnt do it for me.... Oh yeah, welcome aboard as well.
i'm possitive it'll sell out this year, i'm thinkign around the middle of may, i hoep not any earlier (for my friend's sake, i'm getting my tick the minute they go on sale and am going no matter what)
man. My friends are slackers when it comes to saving money so I hope they get their act together and buy tickets soon!

if it does sell out it will be mid to late may, tools drummer just went down with some arm injury, that leaves a pretty big whole on saturday and a band that would sell a lot of tickets. not having one of your big three go down will do things to the tickets sales, Tool has cancelled some of thier recent dates, will they be at the roo, that i think will be a big factor

There is already a whole thread on that and they have said they still plan on playing.
