Fun Fact
Sting, who's real name is Gordon Matthew Sumner, got his nickname from black and gold shirts he used to wear, resembling the body of a hornet.

About Sting
Arguably one of the most iconic rock stars to ever exist, Gordon Matthew Sumner, known as Sting, brought the post punk, new wave wonder The Police to the forefront of mainstream music in the late 70s, 80's 90's and today with the Back-to-Bass tour. Born to a milkman and a hairdresser in Wallsend, England in 1951. When Gordon was young, he would follow his father on milk delivery routes playing an old Spanish guitar his uncle left behind. While attending high school, Gordon snuck into nightclubs to view live performances by big names like Cream and Jimi Hendrix. He would go on to earn a teaching degree from Northumbria University and teach middle school for two years before switching into full time musician mode.

In 1977, Gordon, who adpoted the nickname "Sting" after performing in a shirt that resembled a wasp, joined Stewart Copeland and Henry Padovani (who would be replaced by Andy Summers) to form The Police. The band would sign to A&M after Copeland's brother Miles heard a recording of "Roxanne" and immediatly recommended them to the record company. Influenced by the rising punk trend of the late 70's and early 80's, The Police's song was initially punk, but soon changed to new wave, reggae influenced pop. Sting's solo career followed more orchestral trends and Back-to-Bass tour dates tour see him returning to his native instrument. To date, the police have released five chart-topping, multi-platinum albums, four of which have reached the number one spot on UK charts. They have won six grammy awards ranging from Song of the Year to Best Rock Instrumental Performance.

Sting tickets first went on sale for a live performance to support Amnesty Internation in 1981. The Secret Policeman's Other Ball included Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Phil Collins, Bob Geldof and Midgre Ure. This would spearhead his future efforts in charity work. Sting has been involved in numerous activism efforts over the years, many batches of Sting tickets have gone toward the benefit of these organizations. Audiences have purchased Sting tickets to benefit Live Aid, The Human Rights Now! Tour, The Concert for Walden Woods and much more. Sting has rallied for and given financial support to Amnesty International, Free Tibet and many more. He also founded the Rainforest Foundation Fund in 1989.

In total, Sting has released nine solo studio albums, eight of which have reached the top ten spot on US charts and received gold or platinum status. Year after year, Sting tickets have sold out on Sting tours due to the overwelming popularity of chart-topping hits like "All This Time," "We'll Be Together," and "All For Love." Sting has won nearly a dozen awards and recognition ranging from the Grammy for Best Rock Instrumental Performance to the Grammy for Best Rock Song. Sting concerts ring true to his honors, making Sting tickets one of the most desired tickets to snag.
