Limited tickets remain for Monday and Tuesday’s shows at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre.

Gordon Sumner’s connection to Vancouver stretches back close to a half century.

He first performed at the Commodore Ballroom in 1979 alongside bandmates Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers, just before The Police would ascend into monolithic stardom.

The trio de-camped in North Vancouver for months of rehearsals before kicking off their reunion shows in 2007.

Now, the man known the world over simply as Sting kicks off the fall leg of his Sting 3.0 concerts with a pair of gigs tonight and tomorrow at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre this week.

Alas, Copeland and Summers will not round out one of the best trios in recent music history and Sting will instead be joined by guitarist Dominic Miller and drummer Chris Maas.

The last leg of the tour wrapped up on Aug. 1 in Croatia, with a setlist that leaned mostly on Sting’s solo material but with a healthy smattering of bangers by The Police: “Message in a Bottle,” “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic,” “Can’t Stand Losing You,” “So Lonely,” and of course, “Roxanne.”

Tickets

Monday’s gig was on the cusp of selling out as of mid morning, with only a few dozen seats open near the front of the stage or towards the back of the venue. Tickets in Row 5 are going for close to $1,000, while the upper balcony came in at roughly $230.

Somewhere around 50 to 70 tickets for Tuesday’s show are available, with a pair of front-row seats listed at $1,743 a pop. Tickets on the low end are listed at $250 and up.

Restrictions

The theatre maintains a scent-free policy, while cameras and recording devices may be confiscated by theatre staff for the duration of the show.

Certain items may be confiscated at the door by security if deemed dangerous. Large bags will be checked at the coat check.

Vancouver Civic Theatres requires that all audience members, including children, must have a ticket without exception.

Cashless venue

The Queen Elizabeth Theatre is a cashless venue. Debit and most major credit cards are accepted. Coat check costs $4.
