Okay, maybe it’s not as simple as that. You need to preorder the band’s latest and final album – Sting In The Tail – through iTunes. Once that’s accomplished you’ll receive a unique code to exclusively pre-purchase tickets to the U.S. dates through Ticketmaster. Ordering through iTunes will also snag you an exclusive bonus track – “Let’s Rock.”

However, you have until March 22 to preorder. Sting In The Tail arrives in stores March 23.

Regarding the Scorpions “Get Your Sting And Blackout” world tour, the first North American dates are just beginning to surface – Holmdel, N.J., at PNC Bank Arts Center June 18; Columbia, Md., at Merriweather Post Pavilion June 19; Wantagh, N.Y., at Nikon at Jones Beach Theater June 22 and Mexico City at Palacio De Los Deportes Sept. 7.
