As predicted, tickets for The Police sold out in record time last week; also as predicted, a second show has been added. The June 10 Pepsi Center show goes on sale at 10 a.m. Monday through Ticketmaster, priced at $50, $90 and $225 (though the best seats are being held back in packages costing $380 and $455 a seat, and the various fan-club and Best Buy presales started Thursday). One hopes the second show will drive down some eBay prices, where scalpers are trying to sell bad seats at ridiculous prices.
