LATEST: New Yorkers won't be able to buy tickets for THE POLICE's final show in August (08) - the only way of securing a seat for the historic concert is to make a donation to the state's public television networks.

The reformed rockers will close their 14-month-long reunion tour at Madison Square Garden on 7 August and the concert is set to become the biggest fundraising event in the history of public television.
Tickets to the gig will only be available through a pledge to Thirteen/WNET or WLIW21, New York's leading public TV networks, which will celebrate the trio by airing a day of interviews and live performances in the run up to the concert.
Pledges for tickets start at $150 (GBP75) and go up to $5,000 (GBP2,500) for seats, VIP access to the band's soundcheck and dinner for two before the show.
A statement from the band reads, "We are honoured to partner with public television and have a deep respect for their commitment to arts and culture."
